Messed Up Things That Happened At The Viper Room

Ойын-сауық

The Viper Room, one of the most notorious nightclubs in Hollywood, is located at the heart of the celebrity-filled region of Los Angeles known as the Sunset Strip. Opened in 1993 by Johnny Depp and his business partner, this popular hang-out spot redefined what debauchery meant in Hollywood. Timeless bands like Pearl Jam, Kiss, and Oasis have all played the venue, and the audiences were arguably even more famous.
The list of crazy, almost unbelievable, things that have occurred at the club is too long to go over completely, but there are a few moments that truly stand out. Here are the messed-up things that happened at the Viper Room.

    I was in recovery in the 90's in L.A . and someone at my sober living home put me on the list to go past the velvet rope at the Viper Room a few times. The partying people were doing didn't phase me at all. I went on Monday's for 80's night bands and wet shower ladies on stage! I also met Scott Ian from Anthrax and Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top was there one night and the D.J. played Tush. Those were some fun times! I'm sober today, too!

You talk to her for 5 minutes and you know she's the real thing just sharing her experiences not trying to impress anyone. I haven't talked her in many years but this conversation made me Google her name Lori Nelson, unfortunately she died in August, 2020. Another documentary thats an absolutely amazing story is Scotty the secrets of Hollywood. I can relate to it because I came to Hollywood from a small town and somehow doors opened for me into a world of wealth and opulence I still have a hard time wrapping my head around. Despite the situations I found myself in I always remained grounded and never compromised my principles or moral integrity. In the short run that may have seemed like a mistake but in the long run it certainly paid off on many levels.

    There are weirder clubs in Los Angeles that are opened after hours when all the clubs and bars close for the evening. Places where you can buy cocaine and ecstasy from from the bartenders as well as alcohol that famous people would go to after hours. I remember going to a place underneath the 10 freeway that was a nondescript large abandoned white building but you look in the parking lot there are Testarossa, Ferraris, Maseratis, Porsches, and Rolls Royce. It had a few open rooms and you can see people, people from the entertainment business like producers and script writers passing a glass pipe around smoking crack cocaine. These are places that people go to after the Viper Room closes for the night.

    A buddy of mine ran an after hours spot on Alvarado St near Sunset Blvd…. Called The Alvarado House. He also ran one in China Town. It’s exactly like you said. Always a non descript looking building, but as soon as you walk through the front door and security checkpoint, it opens up into a legit club with a full bar and several djs and rooms. People openly doing drugs. The party usually ends around 7-8 in the morning.

They knew that he died at the Viper Room, but they didn’t know the whole story, so I told them what I knew at the time. The Viper Room was slow that night, so we went to the Rainbow, which was packed. It was a pretty crazy night because one could hardly speak English and the other couldn’t really speak it at all. I couldn’t speak French, but luckily, I could speak Spanish and so could the guy who couldn’t speak any English. We were speaking three different languages and everywhere we went, people thought we were weird. Nope, just stoned! Lol

Weeks later he lay dead on the sidewalk from putting poison in his body. Go figure.

    I was and am still huge River Phoenix fan. I have was in all his fan clubs as a kid and into my teens. I loved him and had planned as a child to marry him one day lol But after my graduation from high school I was driving and heard the news he passed away and was so upset I pulled over and cried for an hour. I have never been a super fan for anyone else since. There was something special about River. He was an amazing, unique human being who had been through a lot during his short life. I still feel as much love for him as I did when he was alive. I know Johnny was devastated when this happened. I think it began the beginning of the end of him wanting to keep the Viper Room. Johnny and River are alot alike in many ways. I would say if there is a celebrity I love as much as River it would be Johnny Depp.

There’s a lot of silly shit that happens here, like an underground alternative economy. Drugs, trafficking, things like that. It makes me not want to be involved in the music industry at all.

I did however dance with one of the girls from the show “Head of the Class”, so I have that going for me.

    I'm not sure about the official story, I'd like for people to watch the film Stretch, which has some scenes that denote the mentality of the L.A. elite. There is a great deal going on behind the scenes with these people, and I am not sure that River died in the way put forward. Corey Feldman, has been very vocal about the things that go on in Hollywood, could our lost brother have been so disgusted with the behaviour of this circle of friends that he was a target of being silenced by them? I'd ask you to look into the mindset of some of those around him, to find out why the Chilli Peppers, Henry Rollins and the Dixie Chicks were so involved in a murder case involving two young adults accurately convicted of sacrificial murder(true story). In the aforementioned film, you will see the level of craziness that these weirdos get up to, the potential of child sex rings and the 'in-crowd' practice of total hedonistic induction of their respective brains... Qanon is bullshit, but even a broken clock tells the right time twice a day. Take care of each other and feed the sparrows, you'll thank me later.

    I think that was what I mentioned, forgot there was three. That was a satanic ritual? Personally I'm not surprised about it. This is my own experience with the 1990's mainstream counter culture, it's betrayal and superficial will for change. The first Lollapalooza tour was associated with the 'Rock the Vote' campaign, which to itself in hindsight was very dodgy because of the message. Everybody was motivated to vote, yet they didn't need to mention which candidate, so they didn't. I have a story about Bill Clinton who was attending the W.E.F. in Davos, my girlfriend who was a hostess there told me that he stepped on her foot and proceeded to grind his heel in a circular fashion into it. So the sexual deviant accusations about this man are probably totally correct. Btw, she was NOT at all politically minded, had no reason to lie....she was just a party animal. Clinton also, once elected cut social programs across the board and built more prisons and started the ball rolling to privatise them, creating the mess that's here today. Perry Ferrell's intention may have been good, but I was shocked to hear him talk recently about meeting Bill and being so happy with the opportunity...🤮

He was clean before this but John offered him the drink (it was heroin and coke in liquid form) and he thought “f### it”. It was the last decision he ever made.

But… JD has been linked to missing people and murdered people like RIVER since the 90s… He’s always made horrible decisions and had people clean up after him. And all you naïve people thinking he’s so sweet, well all I can tell you is that he’s got you fooled big time!! He is not innocent and never has been… He’s had the most shadiest past of any actor I’ve ever known and like I said this is way before Amber heard ever came along.

    Amber Heard was in no way responsible for her friends death in an auto accident. She was 16 yrs old at the time and was no where near the accident when it occurred. That is a viscious lie Depp tried to use against her. But there is strong circumstantial evidence linking Depp to the disappearance of his business partner, Anthony Fox, who accused the Depp of fraud and hiding millions of dollars from him through “shady accounting.” In 2001, Fox was meant to testify in court in front of Depp but went missing before the court date on December 19, 2001. Also Johnny Depp made the drink John Fruciente gave to River Phoenix that killed him. Depp couldn't stand River. He was jealous that River was about to do a movie with Wynona Ryder. .
