23 Photos of What Life Looked Like For Tour-Bussin' Rockstars

Riding in style.

When they're not buying mansions or trashing hotel rooms, classic rock stars spent a whole lot of their time living in another, much less glamorous locale: The tour bus. For as long as artists have hit the road, the tour bus has helped them not only get from concert to concert, but also bond with their bandmates and see the world, features that have helped these vehicles earn their reputation as a rock 'n roll status symbol. 


From Dolly Parton flaunting her custom butterfly decal to Freddie Mercury playing Scrabble while on the road, here are 23 photos of cool rock star tour buses — and Led Zeppelin's tour airplane  — from back in the day.
