THE FASHION CHOICES OF A "PSYCHEDELIC BIKER" -- A LOOK AT HARD ROCK STYLES OF YORE.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on a handful of former fashion style items belonging to Billy Duffy, musician/lead guitarist for English gothic rock/hard rock band THE CULT, c. mid 1980s.

"CLASH" BOOTS: "These Santa Rosa motorcycle boots were my first ever pair of "real" "Clash" boots. I think I bought them in 1984 on The Cult's first U.S. tour but I do remember that I had to take a taxi to get to the store which was on Santa Monica Boulevard in West LA. It was around that time that I was developing my psychedelic biker look with the paisley shirt, beads and motorcycle belt buckles. But they're probably most notable for being "the" boots from the opening sequence of "Love Removal Machine" video!"

BELT BUCKLE: "I picked up this Harley-Davidson belt buckle at the same time as I bought my "Clash" Motorcycle Boots from the store in Santa Monica Boulevard in West LA. Along with the 'Triumph' one it became part of my psychedelic biker look and was worn often onstage in the 1980s and likely to be seen in several videos and photo shoots." -- BILLY DUFFY, c. February 2016

IRON CROSS: Billy's original German Army WWII 'Iron Cross' that featured extensively in the photoshoot's for the "Love" album. “Around 1982 I worked on a stall in Kensington Market, London that sold vintage military clothing and memorabilia and I picked up this old German medal there. I’d always had an interest in war history, as does Ian, but I started wearing the Iron Cross in The Cult because I was influenced by the look of the Asheton Brothers on the sleeve of the classic debut album from The Stooges. It was part of my psychedelic biker look that also included hippy beads with a peace sign, the Triumph Motorcycle belt buckle, leather pants and the paisley shirts.”

All items featured in THE BILLY DUFFY COLLECTION Auction on 25th October 2019.

OH MY GOD YHIS IS SO LATE BUT I JUST SAW YOUR MDZS X BRAZIL COMIC AND IM SCREAMING I HAVE NEVER KNOWN PEACE SINCE I HAD TO WATCH YHAT IN HIGHSCHOOL AND I NEVER REALIZED HOW FUNNY THAT IS WITH WEI WUXIAN AS JILL.

I’m casting everything in my head now. Jin Guangyao could be a fit for Jack Lint 🤔

SO GLAD SOMEONE ELSE OUT THERE KNOWS AND UNDERSTANDS MY VISION.

Jack Lint and Jin Guangyao in either kind of swap is terrifying and well fitting...I think I might need to make another Brazil (1985) crossover comic...
