CBGBs made the NYHC scene real made great bands like Agnostic Front The Cromags Bad brains Sick of it all!!!R.I.P.Hilly and thanx! For suporting all those punk bands!❤
really glad to see this doc..of CBGB..It was great to have been part of this unique place in my high school years in the late 70's and to have seen some amazing performers so up close and personal.. ill never forget it...PEACE
Yeah, Hilly!!, best club EVER, more LIVE music than we ever saw in one place - the dogshit (and worst bathroom in NY State) was a genius touch - we'll all miss you, dude. Godfather of an era. RIP. GBGB 4 Ever!
Never could afford to fly over from the UK back then to see it for myself so had to make do with reading about it in the British music press and to see and hear the acts when they came over to play the venues (Blondie, Iggy Pop , Talking Heads , Ramones ) I did get to visit the building when it became an clothes shop though. Thanks for making the doc I enjoyed watching it.
Found out that ppl living the van life can set up a physical address through one of three states with special laws in place that will forward mail to you on the road more easily. Those states are Florida, Texas and South Dakota. Some how they will create a physical address via the post office without you having to have an actual home, per se.
You'd have to walk on the corners of your shoes to go to the bathroom, otherwise the piss and toilet water on the floor would penetrate tour Chuck Taylors. Combat boots became popular and useful there. Plus Hilly's dog really did poop on the floor. But the soundman would make an amazing live tape of you band for a few cold Budweiser's. I loved the place! The money wasn't an issue if you didn't expect any!
CBGBs opened in December 1973 and Closed two months before it's 33 anniversary in October 2006. The owner and creator of CBGBs died 10 months after it closed due to lung cancer.
Patti Smith / Richard Hell -voidoids? played at the CBGB theatre on 2 ave. the fire dept shut the place down after 1 or 2 shows We didnt get paid ,and Patti threw up. Hilly lost on that 1 but the bowery kept goin.
I saw Patti Smith at the cbgb theater on 2nd Ave, it was New Years eve and to be honest, the show was so boring we left after a few songs. Driving home that night 4 of us saw a USO, which was a UFO that came out of the Raritan River. None of us were drunk or high, the roads were empty because it was around midnight, that damn USO followed us into Sayreville where we parked by a small lake, got out of our car and looked up at it, none of us remember anything else until we all woke up the next morning in our respective beds. Strange night 😳
The art of making fun of people without them realizing it, who knew I was TROLLING! Join me for look back in time and a humorous sociological exploration of NYC. My VIEDOS from NYC in the 90’s taped for my local cable access show are timeless and still very funny. Watch as I interact with the public as THE most unique MAN ON THE STREET. Investigate pop and trash culture with me as I explore the urban landscape. See the real “New Yawk” and some of the most sarcastic people ever! .
my dad used to hang out there every weekend almost in the 70's and he said all they cooked was some nasty ass chili and he got fucked up one night and actually ate it nasty junky ridden chili
Why groups produced at CBCG didn't help to pay the 90'000 $usd? Is not too expensive to pay wiht all participation. why? don't understand this not punk attitude...buerkk
I'm a huge Ramones fan and i don't think The Ramones were a punk band at all. They are just a great American rock n roll band. The "punk" label belongs to those British bands that came after them.

"Some people with no talent" goes straight to the Ramones. Oh dear.

I always thought that CBGB was some kind of chord progression, lol
I wouldn't really know. I remember when we first started making this was when Joey Ramone past away
@msnikish11 thank you for your response!

Patty Smith pretty
next rocker to go there... JOHNNY NAPALM
NYC of today just sucks. All the grit is gone. Now just as bunch of trust fund hipsters and yentas with baby strollers.
this is where motley crue got their start.
An LA glam band got their start at a NYC club? Hahahaha it must be been an ordeal to travel coast to coast to play your first gig 😂
Bowery today sure as hell isn't what it was before...
the only true punk artist was Jayne(who used to be Wayne) County, the first to play CBGB in Dec. 1973; visit The Jayne County Fan Page on FaceBook..
;( CBGBs is gone
Huh? What the hell are you talking about?
@defleppardfan69 patti smith
A woman I know saw X-Ray Spex there in '78,lucky twat.

So wrong.
The Ramones were not punk it was pure American rock-n-roll and if you don’t concur your mom was born and raised in Babylon…..👍🏻🙃 😁
Caitlin rodriguez is god
