Yeah, they're like mini music museums. My friends and I went to the Hard Rock in Myrtle Beach. There was a wait, so you gave a name, how many in your party, and then they announced it over the PA when your table was ready.
Once I heard that, I told my friends that I will go put our name in. After about fifteen minutes, we heard, "Jackson. Five. Jackson. Five."
My friends are just standing there, when I told them that was us. I just thought it would be funny. Haha.
And then we sat next to Elvis' ugly cow patterened coat. Nothing cool in there that I remember.
Now the Myrtle Beach Planet Hollywood was a different story. They have Sub-Zero's hockey gear from The Running Man. Either Joe Pesci's or Ray Liotta's revolver from Goodfellas. And I think Dolph Lundgren's He-Man costume from Masters of the Universe, but I'm not 100% certain.
So my buddy and I liked that.

I feel like they used to be huge in the US and spawned Planet Holllywood. At least, the idea of celebs starting their own restaurant featuring memorabilia. Arnold Schwarzenegger details this in his latest autobiography. The idea of Planet Hollywood was exclusivity. It was a place for the common man to meet big celebrities, and that was only possible in big cities. Unfortunately the investors thought expansion would work through memorabilia but without the actual A-list celebrity involvement. Arnold thought otherwise. It was unrealistic to expect Arnold Schwarzenegger or Tom Cruise to show up to small town, USA, and mingle with you at the restaurant. The novelty was dead.

I alway liked the Hard Rock Casino in Vegas. Because, when I’ve lost ten straight hands of Blackjack, at least there’s some Foghat playing.

At least it isn't like Waffle House with like 5 in a 2 mile radius. I won't have you going around besmirching the good name of Waffle House and their methhead and bathroom clown clientele.

Maybe the ones in the US suck, but the ones here in Europe are great. Really nice albeit overpriced food, good atmos. Me and my wife go to one on every holiday.

Most of the memorabilia can’t be authentic, right? There’s too many f***in’ resturants.

So many Hard Rock Café, but I would love a Rainforest Café near me, just to see how it is. We go to rainforest every time we travel.
