[WillCreary]

i live in rochester and buy ALL of my equipment from the house of guitars. i own 7 guitars including a les paul and stratocaster. i just today bought my marshall half stack, and i guess i didnt know the HoG was that well known. i've been shopping there for forever.

[Ginamann]

I was there! I was behind all of them!

[geejus]

ramones rule and the house of guitars rule

[darlinks]

Loved the HOG commercials as a teen. Years later at the Ritz in NYC the Ramones were performing & Joey was wearing a House of Guitars t-shirt. Wish I had my camera that night.

[scizott8603]

"C'mon. C'mon, you guys."

[Mystirey]

There is a ghost that held up the guitar on (0:26). Creeepy.

[Squinal]

Just went there today. It's awesome! It has this really cool vibe to it!

[stevehas]

my home, I grew up in the hollowed halls of HOG.

...you can't even imagine how sincerely cool this place, Bruce, and Armand are.

Rock Star sightings were not uncommon in teh early days

there was a wall in the back extension signed by all those who had been there...amazing

[ADTNMusic]

lol i brought leave home a month ago for 28 bucks

[666punkrockkid]

I bought my second bass there like two years ago, nice people.

[larkin38]

I was there in the 1970`s. It`s a great place.

[101Volts]

I should go there some day, I do live in a neighboring state to New York.

The Mosrite Mark II Slab Body model (The one Johnny played) Was limited in production too. It was the cheapest guitar Mosrite ever produced, Only 140 to 180 of them were ever made and it was discontinued for looking "Too cheap". Ironically it now goes for more than the most expensive production model they ever made (The Brass Rail) Which cost $1500 or so back in the 70s. You know what else, The Brass Rail is even rarer with a production of only 100 or so!

[haileyk51]

Oh man i seriously walked in that place and died. Its like haunted with all the people who have been there. it was so amazing. You have to go there a million times to even begin to see it all. GO HOG!!

[FantomShadowz]

ya bought my first electric guitar there-a danelectro lefty for like 200 works ok still- has a unique surf sound but budget tone

[flyingace177]

House of Guitars, great place... only been there once but I already plan to get my next guitar there... definitely a must see next time your in the area, and I know they hook you up when u purchase there...

[xxMajorKey]

HOLY CRAP, I never knew I'd set foot in the same place the Ramones have!! I friggin love the HOG.

[tattypatty]

Memories...

[507punk]

what year waz this

somebody tell me pliz

[renc2000]

Tommy looked really different. It looked like he trimmed his hair, and was wearing glasses (at the end of the vid). He looked liked he matured within a few short years....

[tatethompson1234]

did he just say dan electron? hahaha! also its pronounced moz right..mostite not mostright

[l2p]

Dan Electron, the guitar of the future by way of the past...

[sk83r498]

mosrite

[SkyMills]

house of freaking guitars! cant believe the ramones set place in that joint its literally 5 mins away from my house!

[finylvinyl66]

Lots of big name rockers shop at HOG. Check out some of the photos on the wall in the back. I used to live 40 minutes away from the store and considered myself fortunate, so you are one lucky dude (or dudette.)

[SkyMills]

Really, maybe im just like desensatised to it so being so close, jees from the sounds of it sounds like a freaking national attraction, lol

[angrysamoan666]

Tommy is shortass without his shades, imho

[mattrockZ13]

haha

I agree

[brollyknuckles]

I love H.O.G i would copp all my old school hip hop classic wax and tapes there in college..AHHH!!Rochester those were some good years. O yeah another good record shop in rochester was Record Archive..

[mytubename1]

I Never Knew That Joey Had A New Yorker Accent

[Headbanger14]

Yeah, he's from New York.

[hondacr125rmx]

bands from queens genious

[SERIALGOTHNYC]

Yes, he did say DAN ELECTRON, and I like at the end when he says, "Come on you guys...", like he's trying to get his friends to cough up some money to order a pizza or something.

Ridiculous and awesome!

[spinalCJ]

tommy looks wierd without sunglasses

[lasange]

Classic.

[NoSoulutionist]

[louisthunders]
