Thanks for bringing this back to my memory. Damn cant believe I forgot about Little Mountain. I did sell Motely Crew all their Nintendo when they were in Vancouver recording their album. The band walks into the store all the other sates-men walk away and leave me. Little did they all know what I knew. Another great video about this great city.
That is incredible Steve! Thank you for sharing that great story.
FYI. At the base of the stairs in the number 5 is the sign 'slippery when wet'
what a great name jean claude van couver i love it
I would love to sit on the steps at Little Mountain! I sat where Aerosmith sat!!! And it's funny, I had no idea Bon Jovi recorded Slippery Wet in Vancouver!!! As well, I was just listening to Livin On A Prayer yesterday!!!!! Great album!!!
Incredible music 🎶. It sure was a thrill to stand next to that building. Thank you for watching Bevy. 💿
Hey man i was there in 1988 and me and my two other friends where at that door entrance, and they were talking and i saw a guy walking together, it was a body guard and BON JOVI, i jumped in the air and said look guys who's coming. Man he was not that tall at all ! 1:11 After he came out, some other people were there getting autographs, and he was just there waiting for a taxi, about in front of the entrance where that rock was ! i was standing about just in front of that white van, and he looked at me a few times LOL waiting for the taxi, i was too scared to go up to him and ask for an autograph if you can believe it !
🤟Awesome...miss the 80s anything by Van Halen is my Fav. Ashame the mural is gone David Lee Roth is so wild..gotta love him
Thanks for watching Lisa.
The orange VW van was mine. Awesome seeing this nostalgic introspective video
Incredible my friend. Thank you for sharing. It is a beauty.
I was one of the sound technicians and helped record all the bands mentioned and more. Fantastic experience
We record our songs here all the time.

Cheers my friend.
Thank you Sean. My best wishes to you and your family. 🎶 💿 📻
I bet @davidleeroth would love to this video. Memory lane for him for sure!!
Wow!
I never knew that building beside TOKO was the old Little Mountain Studios.
For the past 2 years, I’ve been driving by that building almost 3 to 4 times a week to visit my then girlfriend (now my wife).
I thought Little Mountain would be on the same street/area to another famous defunct recording studio called Mushroom Studios.
Remember them, eh?
I’m sure you do!
Thank you so much for another fun fact video, JCVC!
Cheers and look forward to your next episode, my friend!
PS off topic, but FYI the BC Penitentiary Gatehouse and the Gaol Buildings have been sold. I saw a guy removing fridges out of the old Royal Castle Pub that was there. I had asked him what the new BC Pen owner has planned. He said he didn’t know.
Loved hanging out at that pub. Favourite hangout of mine. Miss it very much.
Thank you Paulo. Yes that was a great pub. 👍👍
Mushroom I thought was at 1234 W 6th Ave. ?
@@lovitz69 yes, you’re absolutely right.
I just imagined Little Mountain was in the same neighbourhood or street as Mushroom.
Wooooooooooooooooooo!!!!
Catching up on JCVC videos after a long week at work. I could have played banjo on their "Livin' on a Prayer" but, sadly...no one ever asked me to... ;-)
I would liked to have heard that Steve.
1:36 YA THE CECIL ! OR THE ORANGE LOL !
Hallowed ground JCV, (the studio not the no.5) a Vancouver Mecca for any Canadian musician.
The Warehouse in Gastown is another shrine..always go to places when in town.
Your videos are a great chaser for Saturday morning cartoons!
Keeper goin' 🇨🇦☕
Thank you kindly my benevolent friend. 🎶💿📻
FYI That airbrush painting on the back of the building was done by Paul Archer :)
You know your stuff Chrissy. Well done. 🙂👍🎶
Glad Tidings Temple Choir recorded "Now Is The Time" at Little Mountain Sound. We worked very hard on it. Glad Tidings Choir and London Orchestra were arranged, conducted and produced by the late Doug Moody. Recorded at Wessex Studios, London England and The Little Mountain Sound Co. Vancouver
It's been a few years since I've visited the No. 5 but at 4:40 you can see the edge of the shower on stage at the left side of the photo. It wasn't very big and the bottom was surrounded by glass. Ah, memories! Bon Jovi was back in Vancouver recording in 1988 and JBJ came up on stage the night Def Leppard played in Vancouver on the Hysteria tour.
Back in the 80s early 90s number five orange definitely had showers at one time they had a champagne glass the girls would jump in I practically live there with my buddies when I was 19 , which was a long time ago ..
Nice one JC. Am I detecting a sub-pattern? The Penthouse the other week, the Orange this week. Next week … the Arch? Lolz
Lol. Yes this month's theme concludes next week with a hot & spicy one. Stay tuned my friend.
I deliver the package to little Mountain Sound from Richie Sambora to Bruce Fairburn back in the early 90s.
That is incredible Debra. 🎶💿📻
What is your favourite song?
Sorry but that's not exactly how slippery when we got named.I know I was there the night it was named.
Why do people always seem to sort of laugh when you say you like loverboy?
