Maybe it's because I don't have an extra $48,000 laying around and collecting dust, but I can't imagine shelling it out for a lock of John Lennon's hair. Don't get me wrong, John is a rock legend...I just...I don't know.

So thinking about this made me wonder if there was any item from any musician that I would spend nearly $50,000 on if I had it. Can you think of anything from your favorite musicians that you would spend the money on, or would you save your money?

Master C - another awesome idea! If I had the money I would arrange to tour with one of my favorites.

I agree, Spooky - you could do a lot with that kind of money!

Unless if was a private performace from some band that I love, nah... I would spend a pretty penny for signed guitars from certain people, but not $50,000... That's a house down payment if you ask me, lol.

I agree with you totally. I can't believe how people can spend that much. Recently a fan paid $83,000 I think for 2 tickets to Led Zeppelin's reunion. At a time like Christmas, I honestly think that money should go somewhere that needs it. If I had so much just lying around I would give most of it to charity and keep a bit. $48,000 on a lock of hair is ludicrous so I would save the money.
On the other hand, if I had given some money to charity and had a lot left I wouldn't mind a Jimmy Page signature Les Paul...

Well, Billy Joel is my fave artist but there's nothing that he has / has used that I would pay that sort of money for. Though I did once pay over £300 for a signed copy of a rare album.
I know the original lyrics written on scrap paper to some Beatles songs were sold to a collector in England a few years ago for several thousand but other than that i'd be struggling.
Maybe a signed guitar by Hendrix
Or the white suit worn by Elvis ??????????

I would try and use the money to fund a reunion tour for Operation Ivy. But, because I am funding the tour, they have to let me come on stage and sing a new song at each destination (just background vocals or something). So, basically, I'm paying 50k for pictures of Me on stage with Operation Ivy.
I'd do the same thing with the Misfits too! But they would probably battle it a bit more because of personal relationships. Operation Ivy would be more cool about it.

Let me phrase it this way. Imagine if Gerard was the main protagonist from that two girls and a cup video. If one of his brainwashed legions were willing to cough up $48,000 for the full "cup", then there's the answer. Anything can have value to it based on what someone is willing to pay for it, no matter how worthless (and disgusting) it might be in reality.
Perhaps for investment purposes only would I spend $50,000 on a rock artifact.

Yeah... I'll take the 10' Eddie that comes on stage during the Iron Maiden concerts, would make a nice piece in my foyer... I'd rather have him in his mummy outfit from the Powerslave tour..

I can't see it for Lennon's hair, no but for say Jimmy Page's Gibson Doubleneck, or the Fender Stratocaster Clapton used on Layla sure. That would be worth it
