  • I wish I could go back in time to see this place.

  • I take it you were at the Ill Bill show

  • All alot of people give a damn about is money. RIP CBGB. One day, there will be another.

  • ITS SOOO FUCKING BEAUTIFULLL T___T

  • @HauntedLighthouses why are whatching this if you don't know what CBGBs is

  • it smells like a punk club should smell

  • YOU WILL MISS ME WHEN IM GONE . THE CONTINUED LAMEFICATION OF THE EAST VILLAGE CONTINUES. IN 2 YEARS NYC IS GONNA BE JUST ANOTHER PORTLAND TYPE CITY. I HATE YOU ALL . GO BACK TO MINNESSOTAR .

  • wtf?!? is that john from john and kate plus 8?

  • PLEASE BRING BACK THE CBGB'S! from:everyone.

  • @RecklessPunishment

    "Chink woman"? Joey Ramone's old girlfriend was Asian. You remember Joey, right? The street by CBGB's has his name on the lampost. It's called Joey Ramone Place. So who's the stupid mofu now?

  • who taught you how to use a camera dipshit? Oh, let me guess... you thought that you were being something different, right? Wrong! What a dumbass.

  • @21Hosey

    If you'd like to reshoot the video, please invent a time machine and do it yourself. That is all.

  • @21Hosey y u mad tho?

  • @nowaiii1 Hey man, I don't remember posting that comment. I think one of my super aggro, emo pissed-off- at everything, cousins did that. I've never been to CBGB so I don't really have an opinion. Looks like it was a cool place though. I wish I could've seen the Ramones or Bad Brains there.

  • @21Hosey

    bro have you ever seen a video from the early-mid 80s? That's what I thought.

  • @21Hosey - You are the dipshit if you think that was shot with a camera.

    Youre the one that needs to try "being" something different than a dumbass. RIght!

  • sad. ):

  • Man i always wanted to go see a band play at cbgb's it was one of my life goals :/

  • Sunday hardcore matinee! Fuck! Miss the ole skool! Shoutout The Youth Crew, Alleyway Crew, DMS, Sunset Skins, Sicko Crew etc. The Golden age of New York Hard Core!!!!!

  • @HauntedLighthouses

    In case that's not a joke, look up CBGB on Google. That will tell you all you need to know.

    Hey ho! Let's go!

  • oh shit, that was the men's room?? wow, all those times i thought it was the women's room. Fell down, eww, way too many times in that bathroom. Ahh the good old days.

  • fuck...it's so beautiful.

  • I'm from Southern California, but I took a trip to N.Y. in May of '06 and stopped in to CBGB's. Had a beer and listened to some crappy local band playing. It was pretty empty that night but I'm so glad I got to go inside and just experience it before it went away. So sad. Hopefully we've got some fresh new talent coming down the pike to keep the energy of pure music that CBGB's represented alive and well. I'm sure there is and will be. Goodbye CBGB's. You were awesome and we'll miss you.

  • when i went to New york on my 8th grade field trip, i got to go there and my carving is on the wall about 2 feet above the toilet.....i feel like a part of history now...i can't believe it's some purse store that's there now!!

  • i always wished to be at a concert in the cbgb. i bet that was the best place in the world.

  • If only we had the technoligy to time lapse it's entire life. So Sad :(

  • Why the fuck did you put the whole thing sideways? Retarded...

  • @ucla4eva Because four years later, I knew it would aggravate you.

  • @Waitomo Well maybe we shouldn't waste our time watching your stupid videos then, huh?

  • @pazzensutra Obviously you did.

  • @Waitomo That's actually pretty funny. But it is aggravating. Still cool though. My name was on that wall somewhere. Good vid.

  • @bodhitaichi

    Thanks. To this day, can't figure out why I held the camera that way. I once rotated the video 90 degrees using a program, but you know what, the whole place was always a bit askew, so I left the video this way for posterity. Just have to tilt your heads. Or your laptops. Haven't been there since to see what, if anything, is down there. Anyone?

  • @ucla4eva it makes sense, when you put your laptop sideways.

  • i went there like 3 yrs ago or so

  • these guys are lucky bastards!!

  • why would this not be a historic land mark?

  • so sad it's really gone :-(

  • The world's nastiest bathroom next to the one from Trainspotting.  :P

  • my neck hurts .. but its cool that you got it

  • I'm actually coming to New York in January. I'm thinking an extra big breakfast followed by a couple healthy swigs of ipecac followed by a browse around the store. Let's see how Varvatos' oh so edgy clothes look wearing the well-chewed contents of my stomach.

  • Taxes and rents get raised because people like John Varvatos insist on claiming every single neighbourhood as their own. But what really pisses me off is he's selling "punk" clothing. The only thing worse than a filthy rich asshole is a filthy rich asshole trying to take on the "punk" persona that he helped destroy. And you think they kept the flyers and graffiti out of some homage or respect to the club? LMFAO, they kept them so they could sell more $800 boots.

  • There's a designer clothing store there now. I hope it gets vandalized. Often

  • @MegaSmacky When go go the states and get to N.Y. I'm so gonna do that. and than get deported back to Canada XD

  • It's not the clothing store's fault that CBGBs closed down. Blame New York City and their taxes. In fact, the clothing store preserved a lot of CBGB's graffiti and flyers for crying out loud.

  • phantastic room......

    you should turn the camera

    thanks

  • I love the vandals and the posts on the walls!!! it is soooooooooooooooooooo "punky"!!!

  • It would have been an honor to take a shit in that toilet. RIP CBGBs!

  • How i wish i could have been there in the 80's , i wasnt born yet , though i am absolutely fascinated by this beautiful place ... and i feel that ive been there in another life !!

  • the way it should be

  • VERY VERY BEUTIFUL

  • i almost teared

  • second 00:15 Gonna Get Got! :P

  • I used the renovated women's bathroom bunch of times and they were somehwat decent (never caught anything from that toilet! lol). But that was recently, I wasn't even born when the bathrooms were filthy and disgusting.

  • why the fuck did they have to close such an awesome place down

  • Because of some greedy fat cats

  • why'd it close down?

  • i loved cbgbs the best place for shows...hands fucking down no other place can replace her and she is slut i will always remember!

  • incroyable, dommage que ce soit fermer, fin d' une époque

  • so fuckin sad that it closed, people who spent at least one night there must call themselves lucky.

    I imagine those bathrooms full of junkies.

  • Robin: Considering it's been closed down for about three years, it would be kinda tough to see a show there or for anyone put it on their bucket list. Sorry to be so shit about it, but at least I know what I'm talking about. You: not so much.

  • Touche, my love. Touche.

  • not really sure, but uhh didnt they make it a clothing store? i though i heard it in an interview

  • Pretty much any band who has/is significant to the movement (not only punk) played there.

    such a shame

  • graffiti meets punk rock....my neck is broken

  • yeah i know. I do graffiti big and its all related - rebellion, being against something, standing for what you believe, getting the word out, graffiti and punk are like distant cousins

  • anarchy signs

    village

    nahahahahaha

  • Anarchy? Really? Grow up, man!

  • ...i wish :(

  • Going to cbgbs was on my bucket list :/

  • mine too

  • Took me nearly 3 years to get around to seeing this one. Nice cameo from Warren Z, even if he is 90 degrees out of phase.

  • I heard the government intentionally made it to expensive for C.B.G.B.'s to Pay for the vacancy

  • Comment removed

  • I wish I could have seen this piece of history. I got the poster of the toilet in my room. I live in CA and I never got to see it. It's a damn shame. That place should have been a historical landmark.

  • haha i can't imagine how bad that mustve stunk...

  • i'll never forget pissing in this bathroom...pissing on history, che sollievo deve avermi dato!!

    i'll miss that

  • I wish I could have gotten to go before it closed.

  • me too man me too

  • No matter how drunk you were, you still had to hold yor breath the whole time you were in there...at the time, it was the pits but now I'd put a cot in there just to go back again...

  • My favorite bathroom in the world!!!

  • u r sick

  • i wanna go to cbgb!

  • its so bad ass, lol.

  • Without a doubt the foulest smelling bathroom i ever experienced...it stunk real bad in the 70's..can only imagine how much worse it got later. I'm surprised the board of health let it go as long as it did.

  • That wasn't even the original bathroom. That bathroom is the renovation. The original bathroom was a real hell-hole. The Board of Health threatened to close the club until it was renovated.

  • i woul'd like to visit CBGB club

  • never thought id miss the thrown...

  • when we played there in '92-'93 w/For Christ Sake, had to look real hard for an empty spot to place grafitti, took alot of "ho baths" in that nasty men's room sink, still, the BEST music venue ever -Jerry

  • Pq a ultima vez tinha q ser com um cinegrafista tão ruim?

  • CB's wasn't like a chain store dude.

  • Well the bathroon doesn't look much better than it did in the 70's. You're only missing overflowing crap and toilet paper. Still though I loved CBGB's and have tons of great memories fron there. Those were the days!!

  • shutting down the cbgbs is a sin against rock and roll people who did it should be impaled on a chilli sauced stick and be forced to listen to a psytrance track on repeat till they die!

  • hahaha

  • @sexnviolence666 did you come forward to pay the 30k a month rent? No? Then STFU!

  • why is the camera tilted
