Ted Linsey was one of the coolest people ever when it came to getting his autograph! Whenever I request an autograph I always send some $$$ for the player or his favorite charity, so I sent him $100 for two autographs, and he not only signed my pickguards, but he also sent me an autographed picture and a nice hand-written note thanking me for my donation! Really classy guy! Sadly, Ted Lindsay is no longer with us, but if you want to donate to his foundation dedicated to autism research, please click here: Ted Lindsay Foundation

This is a copy of Brian May's homemade guitar made by the Brian May Guitar Company. He and his dad took an old mantlepiece and parts from an old Burns guitar parts and built one of the coolest sounding guitars ever! Each pickup could be on or off, or in-phase or out-of-phase, and that's how he could get all of those cool sounds. A really fun guitar to play around with!

On the cover of The Who's 1967 album The Who Sell Out there is a picture of singer Roger Daltry in a bathtub of baked beans. And in The Who's movie Tommy there's a scene where Ann-Margret is writhing around in a flood of baked beans. It's much sexier than it sounds. This can commemorates one or the other. Or both.

I met Iron Maiden backstage at Cobo Hall in Detroit in 1982 and they gave me a Stroh's beer. It was really good, but I wish they'd had this back then!

Another beer in the Iron Maiden lineup. Really good porter, but since it was a limited edition, we might not be able to get it anymore. The label is kinda bland. Not what we've come to expect from Maiden.

Such a horrible song. The beer was OK though. And the can gets occasional comments when people see it on the shelf, so that qualifies it for a spot in the ManCave Museum. Yeah, the standards can be low sometimes.

Great band an a really good beer! Megadeth's mascot - Vic Rattlehead - never caught on the way that Iron Maiden's Eddie did. Eddie seemed fun and playful - aside from the stabby stuff - but Vic didn't. Maybe that's the reason?

Lemmy's voice is definitely an acquired taste. When Motorhead's album No Sleep Till Hammersmith came out all of the British music mags were talking about it being one of the best albums ever, but I didn't agree. It took many listens over many months, but I finally got it. It IS one of the greatest albums ever! And Road Crew is a great song! The beer however, is another story. To me it's more of a gose than an American Pale Ale. I'm not a fan of gose beers. Perhaps this beer is an acquired taste too? I have four cans left to be convinced.

Iron Maiden has a few imported beers out there, but this one is made right here in the good ol' US of A! The beer is good, but nothing spectacular. The can looks good on the shelf though! I'm not sure about the "Cold IPA" phrase though. Using science and an oven I found that the phrase can be deceiving.
