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.

[@gyrofoam1]

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!

[@WayneB27]

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.

[@Lydiahunt188]

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

[@GZA673]

Thanks for sharing this is a great little documentary. I learned a lot of cool things from this and theres some really great footage!

[@paularcaria]

I wonder what would happen if GG ever played there

[@dellee6723]

CBGB WAS BADASS SPOT I HAS AWSOME TIMES IN THE 80 & 90 ..

[@mc1993]

Wonderful.

[@lafranzlafranzweewee5090]

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.

[@jhonnyargent]

I always thought that CBGB was some kind of chord progression, lol

[@jduff59]

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!

[@daveassanowicz]

I wouldn't really know. I remember when we first started making this was when Joey Ramone past away

[@gerardoalmaraz1407]

Hilly Cristall el Brian Epstein del punk un gran visionario para su época QPD

[@Pukklepop]

cool !!

[@trichometrist1]

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.

[@Suzismymom]

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 😳

[@MsAmberLondon]

Will do :)

[@daveassanowicz]

@defleppardfan69 Who do you mean, Lenny Kaye or PAtti Smith?

[@swissuiza]

@msnikish11 thank you for your response!

[@swissuiza]

Why groups produced at CBCG didn't help to pay the 90'000 $usd? Is not too expensy, why? don't understand .

[@MrJerryRio]

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! .

[@SuperPunkemon]

there's a cbgb's in my town its pretty cool

[@SKreapergaming]

how expensive was it to go to that place in its later years?

[@EddieC3336]

[@KingLouieOfficial]

[@lester5192]

this is where motley crue got their start.

[@jrporter50]

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 😂

[@stankwho]

NYC of today just sucks. All the grit is gone. Now just as bunch of trust fund hipsters and yentas with baby strollers.

[@jam22982]

next rocker to go there... JOHNNY NAPALM

[@ericotellez433]

Patty Smith pretty

[@manuelestevez1316]

CBGB !!!!!!!

[@GatesOfGehenna76]

Bowery today sure as hell isn't what it was before...

[@lalumia]

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..

[@m_recordz]

Huh? What the hell are you talking about?

[@exeuroweenie]

A woman I know saw X-Ray Spex there in '78,lucky twat.

[@swissuiza]

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

[@SamanthaCarterFan01]

;( CBGBs is gone

[@victordls]

@defleppardfan69 patti smith

[@moester75]

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.

[@AngelLuluBlu]

So wrong.

[@moester75]

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…..👍🏻🙃 😁

[@ChristopherMastronardi-u9w]

Caitlin rodriguez is god
