Earlier this month Disaster Amnesiac spent part of a Saturday afternoon hanging out with longtime Tucson resident Chuck A., who owns a very large collection of buttons from various and varied Rock (and a few Funk/Hip Hop) bands, along with a few TV show/cartoon ones. The pictures here represent only a small portion of his collection! Chuck's first concert was a Def Leppard show in eastern Washington State; the button that he purchased is right below this text. Chuck is an ordained minister within the Dudeism sect and he's officiated two weddings as such. He loves to attend Prog shows from bands such as Primus and Tool, often with his son who is a bass player within the Les Claypool school. It was quite fun to sit and listen to Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets live CD while going through hundreds of buttons. Aside from that Def Leppard one, the buttons are presented in alphabetical order. Disaster Amnesiac's favorites are the Hawkwind and Grateful Dead ones; the best one that I noticed is the Slayer button though. It's very sleek and stylish. The Mötorhead button takes me right back to being twelve years old, while the Black Sabbath logo button makes me wish to have been living in Los Angeles in 1975.
Above: that first button.
Below: many buttons, all of them neat.
