CBGB The Final Night

Hangin' out in front before,then inside catching some of Patti Smith's set, lots of pix, a little hanging out outside after it's all over.

The neighborhood was dangerous. The bar was filthy. The men's bathroom was the worst ever. The place was dangerous. You went in a group. ...and yet the bands who played there are legend...

ever since i was 15 i wanted to go their and now that dream is gone.i would have given my last red cent to back in time to when the ramones and all the cool bands were playing their even if just for one night

the spirit of CBGB's lives somewhere behind the barcodes of the Varvatos shop. Once a month the clothes are hidden and the stage emerges. Went to NYC for the first time recently searching for many things. Walked into Varvatos and found slivers of CBGB's. Got invited to return in the PM for the monthly show and free PBR. A NY band, the Dead Sparrows, were killing it. Then I took a cab to Brooklyn to see Ultramagnetic MC's at Southpaw. Dope shows. I got drunk.

I spent my formative years hanging out there - I'm so glad I did! The Dead Boys (Smoked a "j" with J. Zero~ heart throb....), Suicide, The Shirts, Patti Smith, The Ramones, Blondie. Got mugged going home one night. Passed out on the street one night - someone laced a joint with angel dust, fell in love for 5 minutes one night. Ah, sweet, wasted youth~

MTV killed any passion people had for music. Passion is everything. Sad, really sad.

"This was the end... my OMFUG, The EnD... " : / I'll never have the chance to know this worlwide well-known place... So sad...

[@TashWigley]

I never go to go :'( I just bought a "Save CBGB" shirt on Grindstore's website, maybe everyone here could do the same. Probably won't get us anywhere, but it's worth a try.

[@Neomalysys]

The guy who owned the building decided he wanted money. He jacked the rent and claimed he did it years ago. Now the place is just some stupid fashion store for rich a**'s.
