At the left is Marky Ramone from the Ramones, the picture is from the video Ramones We're Outta Here.
Check out Marky's awesome robot collection on the shelves! I
need to try and talk to Marky about displaying a few shots of his collection
here.
The Ramones have been
a part of my rock and roll youth days, and a great enjoyment to me. I
love these guys! I had the opportunity to see them in their "Escape
From New York" tour in Phoenix. I still have my shirt!

Alice
Cooper is on the right with an unusual pose with several toy robots I am
in envy of. This shot was taken from a shirt graphic. After seeing
this, I have wondered if Alice was a robot collector also? I need to
attempt to talk to Alice about his 'possible' robot collection. If
so, he is free to display a few shots of them here!
Alice and
I have something in common. I actually graduated from the same high
school Alice went to. It was Cortez High School
in Phoenix Arizona, but it was years later. And no, Alice Cooper isn't his real name, but
you have to find his real name out for yourself! I have seen him in concert
several times. I even have records on vinyl going way back. Yes,
I'm that old...

At
the left, we have the group Blondie with lead singer Deborah Harry. The
pictures are from the video 'X Offender' from Blondie Greatest Video Hits.
Note there are two Shogun Warrior robots on her set. The third
picture down, a shogun is being passed to his right. I stumbled on
this by accident as well. I'm so glad I did!
I was a Blondie fan in high school, before the birth of MTV. Blondie
was a hybrid of punk, pop, and dance music I would say. It was the
dawn of video, and groups like Blondie pioneered the video revolution we
see today. Although, the videos seem different from today's, remember
this was the beginning. One trademark of early pre-MTV and early MTV
videos is the vibrant color. The Shogun Warrior robots shown here help
to add fun color to the set!
