Being such a classic rock/metal fan, you do not know how bad I've wanted to see the Whiskey A Go Go. Thanks, so much. I always wanted to go to the sunset strip. 🌇 I especially love the 80s.

I had the pleasure of visiting the Whiskey on a Sunday night this summer. Some great live bands were playing, for no cover! Had a few drinks, sucked up the atmosphere, thought of all the history of the location, bought some merch and then headed over to the Rainbow where Whiskey staff had continued to party. Can't say enough good things about the staff. The door man had his ink done by the same artist who did Danzig and Rollins' ink, who has now unfortunately passed away. Motley Crue's old apartment just up the block, the absolute nostoligia of the entire area.... that whole block on Sunset is amazing.

I can't believe that the Alta Vista is still there. That was where Jim Morrison kept a room for 2 years. I read recently that it's up for lease. It looks like they have tried to keep it looking the way it did back then, repainting it the same minty green.. I hope they don't tear it down. The Doors' old studio is now a restaurant. The office building where Pam had her upscale hippie boutique "Themis" is a Persian rug business. At least it was in 2015. The apartment that Ray and Dorothy lived in with Jim on Venice Beach was torn down and a modern house built on the lot. I grew up in South Pasadena and our family used to go to Venice Beach all the time on weekends. When my daughter and I were there, I was amazed to see what appeared to be the original rings and monkey bars that Jim and Ray used to exercise on. Back then we called it "Muscle Beach" because all the weight lifters used to go there to work out. 😄

I love the stories about the Crue when they would play the Whisky in the earlier days and afterwards would yell "afterparty at our place", and the whole crowd would just follow them up the road to their house to party till dawn.

Wow what an iconic Rock and Roll spot, it is so nice to see the inside and back stage areas. Thanks for what you do Scott!

Never been to California, this place is a dream destination to me! I would give anything to travel time back to 1966-67 to see Love and The Doors!

Another great video scott, this one was really cool really in depth, all the iconic bands that have played there, keep up the excellent work

Thank you so much for sharing this!! As a full rock n roll fan, I felt inside living history while watching this video. So amazing!! I want so bad to visit all of these places one day. Keep on with this man, you give us great feelings of nostalgia and a lot of happiness

Amazing video Scott.Ive always wondered what it looked like in such a legendary place.Thank you,I love your channel as always keep it up🤘😁

Ive been there many times and got to work the sound system for a few gigs with local bands, went backstage.. the History vibe is everywhere and Awesome!

Just finished watching Bruce Dickinson performing at the Whiskey from a month or so ago, such an iconinc location

Great to see. Legendary and awesome club. Was one of the must do's when i first visited LA, and all should visit when there. Especially on a Monday, almost every Monday night is Fast Times a great 80s cover band.

In the 80s I went into the WHISKEYS BATHROOM ,and I was like oh my gosh I'M STANDING ON HOLY GROUND EDDIE V.H. ,DAVID LEE ROTH WERE IN HERE ,I REMEMBER ALL THE AUTOGRAPHS LEFT ON THE WALLS ,. IT WAS A MAGICAL PLACE IN THE 80S ,

Great coverage dude!! Loved it!!!

As a big sparks fan, it's great to see where they played in the late 60s and early 70s as the house band.

Oh man so Jealous!That was awesome to be able to film inside like that!

I have always wanted to see inside the Whiskey... thank you Scott!!

Awesome been waiting for you to do something on this place 🤘

Thank you for posting this tour Scott! Great episode buddy.

Its been 25 years since I was there. I was fortunate enough to headline this place on the weekend every once in a while as a local rock band. They definitely cleaned up the backstage rooms and unfortunately painted over walls of ancient signatures from big name artists. Great to see this and take a trip back in time when some of my best memories were happening. Thanks man!

They’ve definitely cleaned the place up since I was there last in 1988.

One of my favorite videos you've done, by FAR. Thank you Scott again.

My parents met when they when they were Freshman at UCLA in 1965, and they were at the various clubs on the Sunset Strip, and other venues around L.A. checking out the music scene. They both loved going the Whiskey, and it was not only a great place to see popular bands, it was a great place to check out bands that had yet to make it. They saw Love at almost every show they played at the Whiskey, as well as seeing The Doors before they had a record deal. Both my parents were there the night in August of 1966 when The Doors got fired after playing “The End”. They would often smoke weed or take acid before hitting the town, which was common back then. One thing that was really cool about the Whiskey is that famous musicians and actors would freely mingle with the public, especially on the dance floor. Of course, the Manson family murder spree pretty much changed Hollywood and L.A. overnight from being free and easy to everyone locking their doors and getting security systems and bodyguards.

Awesome, thanks for taking us on the tour of The Whisky A Go Go Scott, So much Rock N Roll history in that place. This will probably the only way I ever get to see inside this place and I enjoyed every minute of this video.

At the age of 16 - 18 years old, in the early 90s I was a roadie for a band who played there from time to time. I thought I was so cool at the time. This video brings back memories.

Great video as always Scott. I played Axl Rose in a GNR tribute band that landed me a role on Parks and Recreations playing him. I now have a production company ironically with GNR photography Robert John.

Wow, excellent tour, Scott! I have never seen the inside before. Tell everyone there thanks for showing us around! Rock on!

Wow, hear all the stories about this iconic place. Was totally surprised on how tiny it is! Man if only the walls could talk... Great stuff, love it and looking forward to the rest of sunset Blvd tour...

A piece of Rock and Roll history.

My signature is there 🤘🤘🤘🔥 its an honor to play in that historic venue! Im playing there again in march 2023 opening for Quiet Riot!

Thats an absolute gem of a place, bet its wild in there. Looks such a cool & intimate venue. All my fave 80s bands have played there. This is def on my bucket list to visit. Thanks for another frickin awesome vid Scott. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Thanks man! What a beautiful trip it’s been! Johnny Rivers live at the Whiskey was my first introduction (my uncle bought all kinds of records back then) and it’s been a non-stop musical ride ever since! Keep rockin’ baby!

Thank you also for getting up on stage and showing us that view!

My older sister saw The Doors play there when they were the house band at The Whiskey. They are still my favorite band of all time. Ray Manzarek and Jim Morrison were well educated intellectuals. Their sound was unique. They practically invented psychedelic Rock, but also incoporated blues and classical elements in their music. Robbie Krieger was/is an accomplished flamenco guitarist and regarded as one of the top 100 rock guitarists. The late Ray Manzarek is listed as one of the greatest keyboard artists of all time. John Densmore was/is a wonderful drummer and admitted it was a challenge sometimes playing with Jim because he was often drunk and would go off script and create chaos. Morrison was a brilliant writer and poet with a rich and powerful voice, but also a severe alcoholic. "Self-destruction" was his middle name. The Doors paved the way and no one could ever duplicate their one-of-a-kind sound.then or now. Their music sounds just as good today as it did nearly 60 years ago. And I told Jim exactly that when my daughter and I visited his grave on October 9, 2013. It was a very foggy and rainy day in Paris and no one was standing at his grave except for the (obvious) plain clothes guard leaning against a tree smoking a cigarette. There was only a low barrier gate in front of his grave at the time. Since it had started raining heavily and no other people were there at that time, the guard motioned for us to go over the gate if we wished. We thanked him and I told him that I grew up near West Hollywood and my sister had seen The Doors perform at The Whiskey A Go-Go. He told me one of their guards had witnessed Jim's burial. He said it was very sad, that "the girlfriend" had bought their cheapest casket and there were no prayers or any kind of ceremony. As soon as Jim's casket was lowered into the ground, they all took off. He said the older guard told him it was "disgraceful". The French have great respect for the Dead ( I am American but 70% French). The Parisians didn't like the way Jim's burial was handled. Pam et al pretty much just threw him in the ground and took off. The guard was so nice to us. I was limping from a stone bruise and it was raining heavily. I think he took pity on us. 😉 He let my daughter and I sit on the edge of Jim's grave. We sat there clutching our umbrellas lost in our own thoughts. I couldn't believe that I was sitting on Jim Morrison's grave in Paris in the rain. Sensory overload! 😢. We wore raincoats but still got soaked. We didn't care. We quickly gathered handfuls of chestnuts that had fallen on Jim's grave as mementos. We just stuck them in our raincoat pockets. By the time we left, we were both shivering from the cold. As we left, we gave the guard our profuse thanks and he said, "You know...we see Jim's spirit here all the time." I smiled and said "I don't doubt that." Pere Lachaise is a VERY beautiful, atmospheric and mystical place. When we returned home to the States, I counted the chestnuts before I rinsed and dried them. There were exactly 27. 😱 I put them in a beautiful Waterford Crystal bowl which sits on my coffee table. They look exactly the same as they did 9 years ago.

Love your videos Scott keep them coming.👋🏻🗽

My wife and I were there a few years ago during the day, when it was closed. Asked the guy setting up the billboard if I could look around and he said, "Sure, help yourself. Make sure you go upstairs and check out the dressing rooms." Pretty much had the place to myself. Did the same thing at the Rainbow, and the bouncer said, "Absolutely." Just gotta ask, people.

Awesome !!! Thank you dude. Keep em Rolling
