CIRCUS Promotion on the Sunset Strip

- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- Close look at a "day in the life" of one of the most popular bands to walk the Sunset strip. The band would get mobbed at times by fans. Unable to walk alone they often walked with security lurking in the shadows. It was quite the phenomenon at the time. No local band had garnered that much attention by the public. They often stopped traffic.
The band handed out balloons so as to avoid further action by the city who had issued a $17,500 fine to the band for being in association with an unknown party who had posted on every lamp post in the city of West Hollywood with 6 flyers spelling out the bands name. No matter what freeway exit you took into Hollywood you couldn't miss it, and then going the other way when leaving Hollywood too. With each flyer the band handed out they ran the risk of being arrested. Seeing the band flyer is rare! They had people scouring the streets for flyers on the ground. The fans had no idea that the only way the band could promote was without flyers. It worked, subsequently they broke the attendance record at the Roxy Theatre and broke Van Halen's record at Gazzarri's. Bill Gazzarri awarded the band his last and final "star on the wall of fame" of the venue before passing away in 1991.
I would like to go back to the 80s now. I don’t really care for this adult midlife stuff.
I feel ya . I just turned 48 a few weeks ago . No fun any more lol
I hear you bro, but this was 1991 it says in the description.
Anzew1490 close enough
At 50 whoa time goes fast... these guys were playing a part...the girls seem to like them..different time .
TLS Sand vote republic an if you want fun and freedom back
Videos of the past like this are the closest to time travel we can get for now enjoy folks!
This was so awesome! It’s a shame the Sunset strip isn’t like this anymore!! I wish I could travel back in time and see the sunset strip at first hand!
The 80s were killed by the people themselves. Everyone became very vulnerable, tender. Everything must be protected and preserved. Immediately sue everyone, demand money and put them in jail.
People in all countries killed music, films, atmosphere. After all, you can’t have fun, you can’t have sex, communicate, listen to music. It is only necessary to work, give birth to children and come up with new norms of morality.
The 80s was sex, drugs and rock and roll, but it was - immoral. Now it's much better when disguised transvestites throw dollars to children spinning on a pole. There is nothing immoral in gay parades (apparently only Russia and China, as well as Arab countries are against it), people in latex, feathers or BDSM suits on the street. This is better than rock and roll and young people who have fun, communicate in real life, and not just poke at the buttons of smartphones.
The USA is a country of shows, music, films. But all this was killed by their "grievances" and prohibitions. Now the script is not important in the film, it is important that there are 3 blacks, 1 Asian, 2 Latinos, always a strong woman and a weak, ugly white man. Who wants to watch this shit? 80-90 - the era of pumped-up male heroes, and amazing women. Now men are rags no bigger than matches, and women are hairy males saving the world.
Drinking alcohol and smoking in the film is not allowed, children are watching. For some reason, discussing who fucks with whom, the eternal invented problems of self-determination, constant conflicts with everyone because of puberty - what children need. Now no one smokes or drinks in films, but everyone is fucking and discussing with everyone they meet.
They wanted morality - they got it, they wanted the righteous - they got it, they wanted laws, courts and rights - they got it. So why are you crying that your freedom was taken from you? Freedom is the price of standing up for your rights. Shielded children from music and everything else? - No, children also fuck, use drugs and commit crimes. There is simply no freedom of choice now. Follow the rules for every step
You don’t walk up to a girl on the street and offer to drink just like that without the thought that she might report harassment just to get money from you. And, in the 80s, you can communicate and not think about it.
Keep going and soon you will be crying about the 90s, 2000s, and maybe 2020s where there was so much freedom and joy.
@@user-fu8gq5xg5u1 I hate this so called current modern culture of 2022 and I don't play by it's rules.
@@francishudgick9392 All the best things are created by drug addicts by chance. Banning everything in a row killed all free creativity, driving people into the framework of contracts and censorship.
Hola soy Santi estoy viendo este video es maravilloso tienes razón ojalá pudiéramos volver 80 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
@@francishudgick9392lol LGQBT and No live Matters Stuff was not Important so i bed its not the right time for Gen Z 😅 like you
Truly a democracy back then not a smart phone insight in the crowed of people. unlike now we’re living in A technocracy everyone enslaved to the machine. There were problems back then it wasn’t perfect at all! I guarantee though we were A much more free and happier and normal nation then currently in 2023.
This is sweet! I wish more bands from the glory days filmed home made movies from the sidewalks like this!
Vote for all our Republic ans if you want freedom and fun again 🙏🇺🇸
I look for my 18 y.o. self every time I see one of these Sunset Strip videos. I feel so sorry for the young adults right now. EVERYTHING is political, no fun, no jokes, no life. Please young ones, BREAK THE RULES. Don't miss out on your youth. I have no regerts lol.
I was on Melrose back in the 80s...on a scooter...really into ska and punk back then...
Wow hard to believe but girls actually used to be happy & nice & fun to be around 😂😂😎
The Strip was more fun than you can imagine!!! So glad I got to live it!!!
I'm only 10 mins in, and I LOVE IT. For those of us who wished we could have experienced this scene... this is GOLD. What year was this?
I give these guys all the credit in the world. They worked their asses off and put every fucking thing they had into making it. The fact that they're one of the millions that didn't, shouldn't garner them any less respect than the few who did.
Yeah dude they worked hard or whatever but their music sucked. That’s why they failed. Those vocals were a joke and the musicality was very stale.
Literally the only thing my comment addressed was their work ethic and my admiration for them because of it. No mention of their music, no contemplation of why they didn't make it. Not even so much as an allusion to their talent, or lack thereof. Literally, nothing. Nowhere are the words "music", "vocals", "musicality", or "why". Also, noticeably absent are any question marks (?). Despite all that, here you are, FIVE YEARS LATER, responding to points that I didn't make, about subjects I didn't broach and answering questions that I didn't ask... Stale.
I agree bro. The guitarist was pretty damn good and the bassists tone, top notch. But I hear ya. For the most part they were mediocre song writers.
@@AndrewScott1762 Agreed 💯 lol
@houstonpenguin which one of these guys is you??? 🙄😂
The sunset strip onslaught not gonna lie music sucked but always fun no animosity no racism no sexist crap just people having fun but as I said the MUSIC was god awful
Watching this video is like a typical night out on the Strip back in those days.
Who is she 28:37, goddamn 1:10:45 , nice 1:08:37
This was the tail end of Glam Rock era 1990 by 1991 grunge was setting in ..what your seeing here was not even close to the sunset strip of the actual 80s 1984 - 1988 was at its peak
Man that's what I'm looking for footages like those .real 80s sunset strip feom early 80s to 88.
Gawd I hope not because that was pathetic.
i was 20 in LA in 1991 & i can tell you the grunge set in around 93 man . that larger then life rockstar lifestyle was still OK in '91 & '92 . it still felt like the 80's up until mid '93 thats when id say id say everyone started dressing normal & cutting their hair & denouncing that rockstar life . i despised grunge for killing off the 80's fun party vibe . grunge can eat a fat one !
hheartbroke I agree man I was only born in 1992 so I missed A great era! I do remember so 80’s elements as far as seeing music videos in 1995 from this culture. I am clueless about the grunge era when I was A kid! I was always familiar with the rockstars with massive teased hair, leather and make up!
Glam Rock was truly about crap bands that cared more about their “look,” 🤢🤮than about creating music that had any real depth or meaning. I mean, look at these posers! 😏Grunge was sooo welcome, and sooo overdue.
Why so many haters on here?? These guys had a blast playing on the strip. Who cares if they got famous or not..
Thanks! I was the singer!
NP. Bands back then actually had talent and there will never be another time as awesome as the 80’s
'90-'92 are still considered the 80's because it still had that 80's LA , Big Hair , Rockstar vibe but its kinda sad watching videos from then because by mid 93 it would all be dead thanks to that garbage grunge movement . everyone started dressing normal & cutting their hair . that larger then life party all the time 80's rockstar lifestyle had ended .. the mid '90's - onwards blew .
It's sad. I'm a young girl and I love 80s glam metal.
90-92 are still considered the 80's? I'm sorry but I may not recover from the stupidity of that comment
James Rice Do you not comprehend what my comment read or are you that slow ? Every decade bleeds into the new one . When 90-92 came , 80's fashion/music was still there . It didn't just die OVERNIGHT like some people think . Same with the 80-82 still had some 70's vibe still left in them . Obviously '91 isn't the 80's anymore but the vibe , fashion & music was still there as if it still was the 80's .
@@playyuh Grunge was a reaction to this ridiculous scene. Thats why bands like Metallica/Megadeth hated this scene and mocked this scene and survived past it. As Mustaine put it these guys catered to "chickdom" much like boybands do which is why they got killed off so quick. ruclips.net/video/PaX67d0jcas/видео.html
@@playyuh u are right I was there during that time also and it did bleed over and definately felt like the 80's still. The Look, the Vibe,the Lets party attitude was still there. It seemed everyone was was welcome to hang at the strip!! It was a great time and loved every minute of seeing so many bands!! Thanks guys!!!
Man, this REALLY takes me back to the days of self-promoting our band(s), hanging out in the scene and owning the world back then! We were young, cocky and lived to rock, sleep around and p-a-r-t-y!!! It truly was SEX, DRUGS & ROCK-N-ROLL back in the day! I miss those days sooooooooooo much!!! Kids/bands these days have NO IDEA and I kinda feel sad for that fact. They will never get to re-live what we were fortunate to have done! :(
Incredible shoot from sunset strip era, when hair metal used to rule the world. It´s the most interesting video I´ve seen about it. Despite it´s not a documentary, it works much better than one. This amateur shoot makes you travel through time and get into a real night in sunset strip. When I was a boy back to 1993, 1994 I used to listen to hard rock a lot and I was fascinated about all those party rock colorful degenerating scene. boy stuff. Unfortunately, grunge has taken over the world by that time. Nowadays I´m a 35 years old guy and I´m musically very eclectic, but from time to time I catch myself listening to hard rock from L.A. Where are you guys??
Melrose was the other spot if you enjoyed other genres of music. The 80s were an incredible time for sure. So lucky to have experienced it first hand. When CA was still cool...the 80s
These were the days you could wear make up and look like a chick and flirt with chicks! Just the way I like it!
God, I miss these days. I was either going to clubs or playing them with my guitar. The 80s were the best.
I want to know what these guys look like today !!!
@AncientSerpent
In other words admit it, you would rather go back in time and do it all over again.
It's okay we all do.
you know, at the time i wore makeup and was into the stuff because i genuinely liked it. and i would still do it whether its in style or not if i was still young and cute. but it gets sort of depressing all these years later, because i have seen SO many 80s bands that talk crap about it now and CLAIM they never really liked all the glam and only did it because it was the trend of the time. so now im jaded and any time i see something like this all i can do is stare at them and wonder which ones are just wearing a costume and which ones are actually glammed up because they genuinely like the look.
God I hate him and the cops will come and clean us all off the street! I love the chaos and the hair and all the Flyers carpeting the ground! Those were the good old days! Thank you for sharing this video! I keep looking for myself...
Girls were just cooler and less uptight then
Man I wish I was there. I heard about these guys on Hollywood Rock City Radio along with all the other killer bands from the strip, like Glamour Punks, Taz ect...
Fantastic
Description: "one of the most popular bands to walk the Sunset strip". So popular I've never heard of them, so popular they don't have a Wiki page or an album on youtube.
Although I did not like this band AT ALL, they were actually very popular on the strip. Terrible in my opinion, but popular. don’t know why there would be a wiki page on a band that was local Hollywood only. These memories are basically for the thousands of people who were on the strip. It wasn’t a worldwide thing, it was one street that us boys in make up ruled for a while. It was a lot of fun and I don’t understand why you’re being a dick about it. If you don’t like it, then watch something else.
*Alley Mihalic* ___ Valid point....but these badly made up silly boys, presented this as if they ruled the roost, as their hype description stated _"Close look at a "day in the life" of one of the most popular bands to walk the Sunset strip. The band would get mobbed at times by fans. Unable to walk alone they often walked with security lurking in the shadows. It was quite the phenomenon at the time. No local band had garnered that much attention by the public. They often stopped traffic."_ For this, these wouldbe Mutly Cruds asked to be ridiculed....
Although...this actually *is* an interesting clip...if only for how it showed the once amazing Strip, which once spawned *true* 60s/70s legends ,had disintegrated so pathetically.... These sillies would get no further then 10 miles outside of LA... Anyway....cheap dum easily impressed jailbait comes 13 a dozen......nuthin to get hot'n bothered about.... which for these guys it seems, makes this scam valid.....
*Alley Mihalic* ____Ok then duckhead......you just validated my point.....thanks. 👍🏾💩
Bytheway....you certainly need "security lurking in the shadows".....😅
Alley Mihalic Circus was awesome dude.
They were popular in the underground scene of the Strip...
Hello there - would you be open to licensing this footage for use in a documentary?
I was there and it was AWESOME! The girls LOVED those long-haired rockers...now the fucking GLAMOR is gone, replaced by short-haired angry, glowering guys all tatted up and wearing black t-shirts...please...
jenniferlacex. Great times weren't they!
Still remember one band, mid 80's, wearing diapers and roller skating down the Strip handing out flyers/selling tickets. Hilarious!
Would you be interested in a little Q n A session (via email or other) about the Sunset Strip? I need to speak with people who were actually there and experienced it all.

Damian Black. I could give it a shot. Memory has faded after all these years.
Shit that was quick. Awesome! I'll keep the questions minimal as best. This is for a Television Series, by the way. Would you mind shooting me a blank email to film@inorbit.com ? I'll fire back some questions for you. Also, for anyone else reading this, if you were there (1978 through 1990), I'd love to speak with you so by all means feel free to contact me at the above email.
I saw the billboard ad for Queensryche's Empire album, so this has to be about 1990.
This was BEFORE crest white strips...but thank you for this, it was fun to reminisce.
America's teeth game got a lot stronger over the years.
ain't no Mötley Crüe tho, so happy from all the bands to hit it big from there, so glad Mötley was the band to do it. Paved the way for this upcoming bands back then.
This is amazing. I was never in to hair metal, but the scene was something to behold. It's was straight up bonkers as far as hedonism goes.
It's hard to find raw footage of the strip like this. Thanks for posting it.
This is when people were real.
You don't see the same liveliness today as you do back then.
I always wonderd what it would be like now if grunge never showed up in the 90's and glam metal still reigned as kings of the rock'n'roll radio. I wonder if rock'n'roll would still be popular now instead of shitty rap, hip hop and pop music.
the only time when it was acceptable and "cool" for guys to wear lipstick. I miss the 80's.
Although you can still drool to your heart's delight to "Steel Panty"....
Wig wearing bodybuilders with makedown makeup galore...
I adopted that look, Born in 1992 and wear my 80's Wig, Lipstick, and zebra spandex and A Zebra striped head band and scarf! In 2017! and proud of it!!!
@Francis Hudgick and you have great taste of music too.
@@francishudgick9392wig??????
This was so fun to watch. Makes me so sad though that I never got to experience the 80s ☹️ I’m 25, so I get to tell my future kids that I was locked in a house because of fcn covid in my prime. Such a fcn fun time to be alive. No fun. No hot guys. No music. 🙄
I hope (now that you are 28) that you learned NOT to be a liberal Democrat. They are responsible for the destruction of everything. Please pay attention while you're young.
Hey Circus, You guys rock! We are requesting permission to use a few seconds of your video, in the video for our new single "California" out next month. The video is a historical collage of everything awesome about California including the 1980's Sunset Strip music scene.
Of course… I’m the singer Tanzal!
all these people are in their 40s now these are our parents lol
sadly these people are hitting their sixtys these days
1991...
If you listen closely, you can hear Seattle reading that scene its last rites.
I don't believe it was Seattle that killed the hair metal thing , they just put the final nail in the coffin , Guns N Roses and Metallica had more impact on that scene dying then Seattle did , and the ridiculous amount of second and third tier bands that flooded the strip .
And you have Jane's Addiction selling out clubs in LA , the scene had just gotten stale and too many bands sounded the same .
Nirvana just hit at the perfect time for kids looking for something new.
But the dye was cast years before.
Basically what I see is an excuse to have fun. This is how a lot college bar neighborhoods are. For some reason nowadays after college you can't have fun
Becaus money is more important then fun and real entertainment today
Hair metal rules!!!
I went to the Sunset Strip 2 weeks ago after seeing LA Guns and Tom Keifer of Cinderella was awesome to be on the strip however, wish I was old enough back in the 80's to go the strip I was just a kid.
I miss these days. What year was this filmed?!
Thank God for Nirvana!!!
I'm not familiar with them..
Fun seeing some familiar faces 🩵
Curious to know what the Circus guys are doing today, and if they're are any plans to reunite for maybe a one-off gig or possibly a new album?
Does anyone out there know the members' names??? Thanks indeed for the info... Best music ever...
I’m Tanzal the singer then Jeff - guitar, Johnny - bass & Jimmy - drums
Those were the days...
Circus called and asked me to audition for them I never got a chance to do it Things other obligations got in the way the word pretty big don't need a Wiki page don't need an album on you boob that s*** doesn't make you famous it was a great time I'm a singer myself hung out on the Strip during that time After Hours club called The church in the valley is a wonderful scene immortalizing time we're all rock stars now and forever
I would like to hear your music! I’m the singer Tanzal!
looks like my high school parties....sooooo 80's , love it
Yesterday's news gone now forever
Agora 2024 🤩, sou do brasil e adoro conhecer esta historia de como era antigamente a galera Hair Metal seus encontros e passeios na Sunset Strip nos anos 80/90, melhor video do youtube, obrigado pelo video amo o Hair Metal.
Miss these days...
GNR t shirt in the beginning. And he missed that chick in a blue mini dress.... what a hotty
this is pretty cool.... it was true when they said in the 80s the strip was the hot spot.
3:38 who´s the blonde??she is so hot
This was so cool.
Was at the Rainbow, the Roxy and the Whiskey. Geoff Tate really kicked ass. Yes, I wish I wasn't 30 years too late, but the Rainbow and Whiskey made up for it.
People were SO stylish...and there's something about THOSE women that blows my mind.
Also @ 12:04 if Freddie Mercury and Punky Meadows had a kid together that be this guy hahahahha
This was September 28th 1990
Did you guys ever play in Hawaii back in the day?
Yessss It was crazy and there’s footage on this Circus Band Official channel
Yeah I’ll come out and support the show lol but we don’t have enough coke, halcion, ludes and aqua net to go back in time
Buy their CD on Demondoll website then.
the good ol' days
I remember this?a
the chicks looked better than the chicks nowadays.
hell yea man this is coming from a 21 year old id love to have been a 17 year old back then
MrLeatherangel I agree with you there. Ooh yeah! The ladies were very sexy & feminine! The 80's was my time visiting the Strip and the rock clubs of Southern California.
Jaxston Evans me too!
Maiden the 80's L.A. I'm sure you were a lucky guy
MrBullsac. Those were some fun days. Innocent in a way. Glad I was young when I was.
Unlike today where you have to deal with the 'hood' mentality and the propensity for shootings or stabbings to solve an issue.
Been out of Southern Cal for 21 years with no plans to ever move back.
There used to be a place in newark NJ back in those days called Studio One.that was some place too.maybe not as famous as this one but rock bands and metal bands were something special.
My first club gig at 16 was at studio one. Good times. Band was forgettable in the end, but it was a fun time nonetheless.
If only they knew they be flippn burgers 20 yrs later
nothing wrong with flippn burger
Nope!!! I’m the singer Tanzal and I own a tequila company, a healthcare company, a solar company, a stem cell rejuvenation company and live in a 7,000 sqft beach house! But I do flip burgers by my pool! Thanks for your concern though!
Poor guys don’t realize it’s been over for 2 years.
nope it was NOT!! strip was still booming!!
I grew up on seeing 90s and 80s movies and music iam in love with this vibe if could this time stoped
Woow! I Was In West Hollywood 1986 Living At My Friend Gary's Place And Going To The Rainbow Three Nights A Week Two Months And 1987/1988 6 Months.
🙂
1991 Two Months But It Wasn't Same Anymore Because Of The Grunge. 🙁
Soo Happy! 🤗
Crazy Times!
girls back then used to get really dolled up. now, not so much.
@Darby i aint looking at them.....'yes sweety, daddy use to be a girl'!!! Ha!
Goggle products. These were the days! I’m in love with the sunset strip Glam scene! I respect it more then these depressing times! Hey if it was cool back then to wear leather lipstick and massive teased hair. I obviously dress like this in the year 2020 when I’m in A party mood. I don’t care What people think and say! Oooooh yeah! 🎸💋
@Jonathan Cameron but they aint rocker chicks.....do they exist anymore.....anywhere?
Says a sockpuppet fake account...
@@VictitiousStudios says the troll.....having a bad day?
By 1992 they were playing stratocasters and wearing Stevie Ray Vaughan hats.
How can I get in touch with the person who shot this?
I was on the equivalent Hair Metal scene at this time in England. The clubs were full of the sounds of the main players etc, Crue, GNR, Faster Pussycat, RATT, LA Guns, Poison, the list goes on. Saw all the ones live who made it across the pond. We had a few of our own, Tigertailz, The Quireboys, Dogs Damour. To find this footage was awesome, as mentioned, you don’t really get to see how it was, just clips and stories. This band has so many cool videos from that time, they were inadvertently capturing an important time and scene in music. I made it to LA eventually 2011 to pay homage to the places but wish I could have been there 89/90.
Guns N' fuckin' Roses put these lot in a coma in 88, Nirvana - a few years later turned off life support...it WAS fun for 5 minutes though, AND it bought the laydeez along to RNR shows 💘
WHO??? I've heard of 99% of LA Hair/Sleaze Metal bands through the years, but never Circus. I guess you guys were about 40 years late?
Is that Dana Strum from Slaughter talking to those girls at 58:16??? Lol
Is it dana.
He hooked ozzy up with Randy Rhoads. Randy saved ozzy's career.
As the Singer of a band that played at the Roxy 12 days after this video was shot (October 11, 1990) this bring back some serious memories. We were known as the biggest, and youngest band to headline the Strip. We too were labeled the Next Big Thing. 15 years later a book was written about our experience trying to make it during those days. Can you name our band?
Janes Adderall
Got to love this 🤘
I love this so much but I wish it wasn’t cropped to widescreen.
These girls probably had nothing shorter than a landing strip in those days on sunset strip. Lol
This is GOLD.. Great time capsule.
Everyone was cool with each other back then.
Notice: All White People
Always the guy with the horrible hair and the loudest mouth trying so hard ha ha.
Saw this video on tv tonight. Nothin but a good time movie"
Girls were much cooler back then.
At about 17:30 or so, was that Tommy Thayer? Probably was still with Black N' Blue at that point.
RJC 72 nah black n blue broke up In 89’ and this takes place in 91’ plus that guy looks too young to be Thayer at that time
Society really was a better more amenable
Society really was a better more amenable
59:46 Lmao
is that slash wearing a top hat in the background at around 1:10:18 ? sure looks like him???
yes
yes as in it's him? or yes it looks like him lol
i'm quite curious myself if its really him
Gotta be him.
That is definitely not slash. Hes way too skinny and way too pale lol plus that dude had straight hair, slash has frizzy curly hair (hes half black). Guns n roses was one of the biggest bands in the world at this point in time as well so slash wouldnt be strolling down the sidewalk with nobody around him like that. Plus i think they were touring at this time too.
I was done with makeup 1990? "White lace"84 87 shredded these guys. . The scene here is a year after Pretty boy floyd who was much bigger perfecting the glam image , but the album failed. 1989 grunge taking over.. pretty boy Floyd lacked song writing..the album looks Detroit Rock city from KISS. The album was on a billboard above Roxy on sunset strip. I heard Pretty boy Floyd was a drug deal gone bad.
No clue who this band is
Awesome!!! This is so amazing to see
Silly posers
25:25 Debbie Gibson?
Cant help but wonder, where are they now?
I’m Tanzal and want to do another record and tour!!! Hey Jeff & Jimmy… you know my number so hit me up! I sing better now than then! Been doing the Geoff Tate training!
u were a good singer then. I saw u guys several times and loved the shows, the hype and of course the Balloons !!! u guys Rocked!!!
Nirvana
