    Step inside the chaotic world of my Sunset Strip band, "Shock and the Night and Day Horns," as I recount one unforgettable night in our notorious band house in Van Nuys, CA. Nestled in a seemingly quiet neighborhood in the valley, our "Shock House" was anything but ordinary. Crazy things happened constantly, and you never knew who might call it home. In this video, I tell the story of one particular "Psycho" house guest who turned a typical night into an unpredictable adventure. If you love wild stories from the Sunset Strip and a glimpse into the life of a rock band, you won't want to miss this!

    I played the East Coast circuit in Hairdoo bands at the same time you were playing on Sunset. Your stories bring back a lot of memories!
    Back then food was paramount. The summer of 1986 I refer to as "The Summer of Nabs" because that's about all I ate that whole summer. I remember one time the Bass player snagged a loaf of bread from somewhere and brought it to the room. It looked like a treasure chest to us! Then somebody else showed up with a pack of balogna!! Eureka!! Just then the soundman showed up with a head of lettuce, and we all shouted "Yes!! Now we have subs!!!"

    Great story Bad Brad. Reminds me of my youth. 1987-88. Living in a house with 7 other roommates: girls, booze, weed, keg parties, live bands, cops.. my rent was $85 a month! Near a university campus.. Weekend parties were completely out of control.

    Lived in a poorly converted warehouse with a band in brooklyn, it was almost exactly the same scenario, just fast forward 2 decades. The place doubled as our venue on the weekends, so much crazy ish went down both good and bad, impossible for me to ever forget. Give anything to go back, lol.

    Imagine being 10 years old. Riding in the back of a 1977 c10 3 on the tree with a cap from NY to Florida.
    We stop in no fuck Virginia. My brother was in the navy.
    Dad drops me at his house for two days..
    15 people lived in that house.. Alcohol weed and I'm sure people were tripping also..
    There were half navy dudes and the other half punk musicians with whacky hair and digs.
    Ikt was ooretty freaking crazy but mind you. Even being from upstate NY I'm the youngest of 5.
    By ten I was already getting stone for two years. And had a taste for wine. Because they started getting me drunk at 6 and smoking weed by 8.
    It was still quite the culture shock.
    I'll never forget the first time that summer stopping in DC first and see leather spikes and mowhawks a foot or two tall hahahaha.

      He had a 2 .,year old an in the air force.
      I remember walking in meeting his wife. Absolutely beautiful lady but sycho.
      And whaaaaaa an amazing Korina V with a marshal jc800 combo sitting next to it.
      I think we heard country roads and songs about the mountains a million times and dad sang it every time.
      I will break down earing those songs.
      What a crazy summer.. The beaches were the best.
      Ya gotta go visit Anna Maria Island with the family . Place is amazing.

    We were at my friends apartment and he had a grow in his room. This guy we knew worked in a pharmacy and got caught stealing controlled substances. We called him doc. He rolled on my weed dealer and we knew it was him. He shows up at the apartment all nervous and asks if we have some weed for sale. My friend who had the grow looked like the blood ran out of his body and didn't answer but I did and I said it was dry and nobody had any in Nashville that I knew. Dude left right away but we had just smoked one before he came in and he knew we were lying. We just waited for Metro to kick the door in for hours but they never did. We think he was wearing a wire for sure. Shut man, those were the days.

    im a 53 year old musician/ sound engineer , i thought hard about the strip sound and the music that came from it, it dawned in me that the vast majority of music was absolutely horrible and juvenile teenage crap, hair metal was worse than disco which is why it was so easily removed by awful unoriginal garbage bands like nirvana.
