My sister and I visited the Viper room shortly after River Phoenix's death. My sister was a big fan of his. So much so she named her son River. I still remember all the flowers left for him and all the writing on the walls of condolence for him. We went there several times on that trip. The last time before we left Los Angeles my sister wanted to leave flowers for River. The one and only time I did not go with her. The door to the Viper room was open that afternoon and as my sister walked by Johnny Depp was in the door way just inside the room. She looked in and smiled at him and he waved at her and smiled. It is too bad that the city is going to tear that building down. Thanks for the video and bringing back memories.

Why do they tear down everything historical? 😫

I thought how wonderfully touching it was thar Joaquin named his son after River and dedicated his performance and his Oscar to River. A very close family who supported each other. Kind of like the Scott on Tape family we love and support each other! Love you Scott and God bless you for doing these videos for us! 😍😍😍😍

I think for many of us, we remember the exact moment we heard that River Phoenix passed. It’s just so tragic. I appreciate you filming this location for posterity since as you mentioned, it will be torn down soon. This is a nice tribute to River along with your Florida video. Appreciate your kind heart in covering these events that had such a big impact. Take care.

Matinee Idol by Rufus Wainwright is also dedicated to River Phoenix. As a child of a drug addict, an amazing book into Rivers life is ‘A Night at the Viper Room’ by Gavin Edwards. It’s also an audiobook on audible, and very well narrated. My favourite movie with River was Running On Empty and I really enjoyed his comedy role in ‘I Love you to Death’. *A Great Actor.*

You’re preserving history by documenting it im so grateful you do this thank you Scott

My favourite River movies were Stand By Me, A Night In The Life Of Jimmy Reardon and My Own Private Idaho. He was one of a kind and so gentle. Whilst Joaquin is a talented actor, River was extraordinarily talented, so I agree he most definitely would be an Oscar winner for sure. Such a tragic loss and heartbreaking end of a brilliant young man. I had the pleasure of visiting LA in 2012 & 2013 and got to see the Viper Room in person. I'm thankful i have those memories, especially now they're tearing a piece of history down. Thank you for documenting this and being respectful and honouring the people you talk about. RIP River 🩶

He was the best. Only 23…I was 18 when he transitioned. I don’t like saying died because we as souls/spirits .. never die just our physical bodies do. Energy can’t die it can only change forms. Even though I was a MAJOR fan and that started around age 13 … it still was a “love” I never realized until I got older that even though I never met him he still was my first love. Thanks so so much for this. Take care❤❤

Running on Empty is my favorite movie with River, great movie

I became a fan of the River Phoenix at the age of twelve after watching “Stand by me.” I was twenty-one years old when he passed away. I took his death hard as he was my favorite actor. He was so special that the world lost someone so dear that he had made the world a better place. Now I am fifty years old and I miss the hell out of him still. Thanks for honoring River. He may be gone but he’s not forgotten.

I was a teenager in the 90's. River was so amazing. I remember breaking down in tears when my mom sat me down and told me he had died. I still think about him all the time. That's how much of an impact he had on me.

Thank you for this beautiful and respectful tribute to River. He was one of my first crushes after seeing Indiana Jones. I was 8 years old when he died and it stunned me to my core. I’ll never forget that feeling of finding out. He did some great work in his short life and will always be one of my favorite actors.

I’ve seen many stories on River, but when you tell it, it’s like hearing it for the first time. And by-the-way Scott, you know what your doing.

I was 15 when River died. He was so relatable and seemed very down to earth . You are 100% correct, when he died it was like losing a friend. When I see people walking past locations in your videos, like it's just an ordinary day, a lot of times I find myself saying "do they know where they are?

It was always a haunt with dark negative energy.

When I lived in Vancouver I went to LA a fair bit.First place I went to was outside the Viper Room to put a candle down..River was/is such a huge inspiration to me. I always felt so connected/felt I could relate to him in so many ways.I remember where I was when it happen I think I was 16. I was watching MTV when the news suddenly came up and I was in chock. It was 12 at night I think, late. I woke my mum up who was really upset too...

We all miss River. He was so talented! I remember hearing about him passing away very well. Drugs suck. Period. Imagine what he could have done in his career... Hollywood doesn't care about nostalgia very much huh??? Ironic. Thanks so much Scott 💜

Also, I agree about not calling River Phoenix another dead junky. When I heard of his death, I cried. Stand By Me is my favorite movie. He was a beautiful soul and an amazing actor. Truly one of a kind.

Young and dumb... been there, done that. Fortunately, I made it through that phase of my life. Unfortunately, many don't. RIP River Phoenix.

Losing River was so heartbreaking!!! This kid had that magic!!✨️✨️✨️💫💫💫💫💫🕊🕊🕊🕊

Thanks for the great presentation Scott, it was well done and such a very sad story about someone who gave so much of himself and now his is gone. It seems that's the way it always goes, here today and gone tomorrow, it makes you stop and think. So don't ever take anything or anybody for granted, life's too short and precious, a lot of our most cherished and most loved don't realize this, that's why the world is in such a mess....REST IN PEACE-RIVER PHOENIX, and my condolences to his family, friends and his fans. Thank you Scott On Tape for sharing your time and effort with us, God bless...Greg the Egg.

River Phoenix made an impression on me when I was 13. He had been gone 10 years already, and he’s stuck with me since. One of the actors I’ve never been able to let go of… I was able to go to LA in August for work and a coworker made sure I made it to Sunset Blvd to see The Viper Room and pay my respects bc it was so very important to me. I can’t believe they’re tearing it down.

Thanks for doing this video Scott. He was my 1st crush growing up. Stand By Me was my favorite movie. He was like our 90s generation James Dean Sad we lost him, one of the greats. Sure he's super proud of his brother Joaquin Phonix. Miss you River , never to be forgotten. 😭💔😥

Yep, I am lucky to be alive! Definitely was a little more carefree in my younger days. RIP to River! Great video, Scott!

I remember that devastating time of River's death. It was tragic that he died so young. RIP River you will never be forgotten.

I was so sad when River died. I too did my share of stuff way back when but through it all I'm happy I survived. I can't fault River...he paid the ultimate price. 😔

He seemed to put a lot of himself into his roles. He was a bright star among stars certainly. Just listen how everyone only speaks highly of him.

THANKS SCOTT, RIVER WAS AWESOME, GONE TOO SOON, BUT HE WILL FOREVER BE LOVED. PEACE OUT, LOVE YA !!!!

Great video!!! I was in tears seeing Joaquin accept his Oscar for "The Joker"....so heartfelt and really brought me to tears. My favorite movie will forever be "Stand by Me" I also have special addition dvds of both "My Own Private Idaho" and "A Night In The Life Of Jimmie Reardon". I also remember seeing him on an episode of "Family Ties" back in the day. Phenomenal actor as is his brother💞💕 Thank you for making this video.

This still breaks my heart, I don't know how his friends and family managed to survive this tragedy. Absolutely devastating! River Phoenix has always made me think of a modern-day James Dean. They were both incredibly deep people, hugely intelligent and of unequalled talent. ❤️

I remember when he died, I was was still in high school. I was so shocked and sad. You're right, many of us have done stupid things. It's only by chance that survived.

River's star was still on the way up. He did incredible work for someone so young. He is missed. Thank you for doing his story.

Heart-filled Scott. River had that inner magic and light. Tragic. We all have done something that could have ended ours.

Hi Scott, you are such a sweet soul, I love your content and just wanted to say thank you, it does make a difference for those of us who can't be there in person to see all these places. I was absolutely devastated when River passed away. Then my Paul Walker also. Such a huge loss. So thank you 😊 Love from Sydney 🐨 🇦🇺

I had the biggest crush on River I've watched Stand by Me a million times!! RIP River

Well you knocked it out of the park again, Scott! Fabulous video and filled with your usual gracious heart and sympathy! Loved your Florida video as well. River is/would be the same age as me. I remember hearing the news and knowing both the hurt of his passing and the hurt of what could have been. Not only a fabulous actor, but a fabulous human being as well. I know this had to have affected all those "celebrities" at the Viper that night. Haunting - in a way, I suppose. And it does seem ironic that this iconic club and the strip of buildings around it are soon to be knocked down. Such a damned shame. Anyway, like you, I could go on and on. Being from that era, it's hard not to compare what was good then to what is good now. Different zones and times, I suppose. But - thanx for the video. And please, Take Care, my friend.

If I remember correctly, Flea was also with him that night and actually rode in the ambulance with him to the hospital

I loved hearing him sing. I loved The Thing Called Love. I mourn every Halloween Still. I have his Teen Beat in plastic.😥😥😥 Thank you my Handsome Scott. This one Got me.

My first true celebrity crush. River plastered my life until that Halloween when he left us. I pray they save the awning. It’s iconic. As are the 90’s. No other decade will top it. River was iconic and had so much more to do in this world

One of the acting community's biggest what ifs. He was truly a gem such a shame that heleft us so soon. May he be at peace.

He was the only actor I noticed when I watched Stand By Me as a kid, he was just a lost child in this world just like we all have been at times.

He was amazing in “My Own Private Idaho.”

Ive loved River for bout 35 yrs now. He was a great actor and great person who also loved fighting for better things for the environment and for animals. His actual love was his music but acted more to pay for his brothers and sisters to go college. He wouldve been a huge star had he lived. I was devastated wen he passed away. Go way too soon. R.I.P River. Thanks Scott for doing this video x

*90210 For Life. Forever Remembered. I'm going to watch the entire series all over again. Amazing job, Scott.*

I love all the work Joaquin does for animals. I loved River he was beyond talented he was such a old soul. Thank you, I live in Australia and can't afford to go to L.A but have always wanted to visit and would of loved to be there in the 80's & 90's. It is upsetting that all the greats die young.

I felt like that when Paul Walker died. I thought it couldn't get any worse. Five years later my dad died. I am still grieving. Watching your videos helps me to deal with loss.

Did you ever see Ron Howard, Steve Martin comedy/drama, "Parenthood"? May be Keanu Reeves 2nd movie? But is Quaquin Phoenix's very 1st as a kid! Is a fantastic film for parents & non-parents alike! RIP River!🙏 & thanks again, Scott! ✌🌎❤

Oh dude awesome. Love the River Phoenix coverage. What an amazing talent. His death is Prime example of just how fragile our bodies are and lives. Its kind of ashame how corporate entities are starting to take over sunset and the strip around the old viper room. Luckily, there will never be ridiculous condominiums and whatever else they're destroying to build, at the whiskey agogo being as it's a historical landmark that is certified. Not preserving history sucks bad. Imo, its what brings people into businesses. Great coverage and rip RP.

I was stuck in a traffic jam on I-26 just outside of Asheville,NC when it was announced on the radio that River had passed away..I remember how upset I was and how it seemed like a Lifetime before I made to my home in Charleston,SC..RIP River ❤️ My Best friend is from Micanopy Florida,and we spent 2 days trying to casually bump into River in order to snap a picture of him but of course we were not successful. 🙄

Of course we all did reckless things but in River Phoenix case it happened that he had not known what had been in the cup handed to him by John Frusciante and he could not have assumed that it was a liquid speedball because they are not consumed that way, meaning you do not "drink" a speedball. But he gulped the contents of the little cup down without knowing what the cup contained. It contained a brown liquid that consisted of at least two drugs (the ones that are public knowledge) in an amount that would have killed an elephant. And when he had an immediate bad reaction no one called 911 until it was too late. He died after roughly 45 minutes (where nobody had the guts to call 911) right there on the pavement with relatives and "friends" staring at him and not doing anything. It was more than tragic, it was accidental manslaughter and failure to render assistance.

Such respect you have given River , a tragedy , a horrific tragedy what a loss River was on his way to becoming a major star , the work on film he left behind is all we have left of him but he today , 2022 is still remembered , will never be forgotten RIP River, love you❤️thank you Scott great tribute.

I know,, and keanu, is such a beautiful soul, the viper room, should be kept, its a part of history. R.i.p river, too young to be taken x

I remember learning of his death from watching the news, I couldn't believe it, I was in shock, His death really affected me emotionally. River was so talented & just hitting his prime, one of my favorite actors for sure. It really pains me to see so many celebrities Actors & Musicians pass away at a young age due to drugs. A Great tribute to River Phoenix Scott I really appreciate you doing this. RIP River Phoenix🙏🙏🕊🕊

God bless.. this one hit me hard in high school. I was such a fan growing up and still am but, it was like losing another friend. I'd already lost some but, just lost a friend to his best friend accidentally shooting him showing him a gun. Stand By Me is my favorite probably, but, Thing Called Love, Explorers, really everything he did was great. 😇 I remember Ghost Adventures had an EVP of his voice and a guitar sound on their Viper Room episode.

I think the thing about River that still has people missing him is that while was a GREAT actor, he was most importantly a really good person.

I remember when he passed away. I was in college. We had a TV and I saw it on the news. I will never forget it!

You are a class act doing these tribute videos to the gone but not forgotten. Well done my friend. And ya, I grew up on Explorers and Stand by Me. RIP River. *respect*

I always wanted to visit the Viper Room and Hollywood CA. Soo much History, good n bad. Your right Scott we all have done some crazy dumb shit in are younger years. Would love to place a rose or something like that at the spot where River died there at the Viper. Great Video Scott

What a loss, I was really sad. He was so great and he would definitely he one of the greatest and most successful actors around to this day.

I am glad I got to see the Viper Room and am sorry it will no longer be around with the same flavor.

This really got me in my feels. River was my first "celebrity crush" when i was younger and that stayed with me for a long time, still does, and there will always be a part of me that gets emotional when talking about his passing. I feel that the song that P was playing that night was almost foreshadowing, and very ominous. Gives me chills. Listening to you replay the events from that night brought tears to my eyes. Makes me think of my brother who passed away, on October 30th 2010, from heroin. He was 26. The loss of your sibling never goes away, and i know River's siblings each have their own lives and careers, but that pain still stays. Very good video Scott. Very emotional. I do hope i can make it out there before they tear it down.

Thank you for the videos. Much appreciated.

Scott thanks for bringing that up again about how the work/art of famous people moves and inspires us. So it does affect us when they pass on. And we usually share or talk about it on things such as social media. It just upsets me when ignorant minded folks ridicule others for paying respects to those famous people we never knew personally. We are connected in some way forever. Others just need to understand this fully.
