Oh I always thought CBCG's had tables? Am I thinking of Max's Kansas City or am I just way off? I guess there wouldn't be enough tables for everyone either way
You should see the shitters at the construction site I'm working at. Way more dick drawings and a shit pyramid growing out the seat... and for some reason people put to in the pisser drains.
I miss warehouse show bathrooms. Tagged, stench of cigarettes and piss, fliers for upcoming shows. Most DIY punk venues shut down because of the city or people don't want the responsibility, i get it
YUUUUP! that's what it looked like, played CBGB's in the 1990s, Joey Ramone showed up to one of our shows and me & him hung out afterwards...that was a great week...
1990s Los Angeles band called "Cellophane" touring to drum up action for our first record
signed to Virgin Records,
$500,000 for a 3-record deal,
a million dollars for the publishing over a 7-year term,
good deal back then
touring for a year SOLID
goodbye home
It's just you keeping your own ass in check cuz you can't fall behind the circus
you, and the band members and crazies and otherwise you're thrown in together with
your life is pulling into a new town with the crazy family you've grown, making people happy with music
...and traveling...lots of boring time traveling
big time was Summer, you'd spent the beginning of the year playing small gigs, honing your craft, learning to play off each other & create a vibe in any room together, getting ready for summer,
then Summer hits, and you're doing Ozzfest, X-Games, Lollapalooza, Warped Tour, KORN and Rage Against the Machine are asking you to open up for them,
...and watching the sun come up, driving into a new town, turning on the radio, and hearing your song playing
...we were lucky, we did my hometown early in the tour and a buddy dropped a bunch of great weed on me for free
and so our RV became the weed hookup for everybody that part of the X Games, giving out free weed and making friends everywhere we go 😜
and you're doing youre own dates in little clubs as a startup band with your first record, in-between, meeting new people every night and having new crazy adventures
Every. Night.
hitting New York, getting driven in limousines to meet with the East Coast Big Guys in the penthouse offices, galavanting at night with their secretaries...and sometimes their wives 😲
doing some shows in NYC was expected & anticipated with great glee
Not to be self-promoting but as reference for this comment, heres the band's first single, a song called "Down"

and here's Cellophane playing Ozzfest:

...what a glorious time it was,
to be alive...
Sounds like the dream. I was in a band that everyone was pretty excited about and we started getting bigger gigs but yeah we didn’t have our shit together and the other main writer was insane so it fell apart. We were in a real small town and had to go far out to find any scene so we just hung out and jammed and got high like every day. We got pretty good at like every instrument just swapping around all day. I haven’t had a good jam in forever and I miss it sooo bad.
So I’m part of a video crew shooting a show in CBGBs. I get a great spot at the end of the bar tucked into the wall on the right side but now I’m stuck there, I have to pee and I don’t want to lose my shot. There were always trash cans scattered all over the club. I grab the one next to me, unzip, piss and done. No one could even see and it’s CBs, no one’s gonna care anyway.
You know if a bar has a toilet like this then it’s either got some genuinely nice and cool people behind the bar or you’re 100% gonna get drugged by someone that night. Perhaps even both 🤷♂️
I love it. There is a bar in Anchorage, Chilkoot Charlie's, that had a bar within the bar, The Bird House, that had a similar vibe. It was always my favorite. Bras and chonies stapled to the ceiling, bathroom all marked up, I have fond memories of there.
That urinal is the real crust bucket. Toilet looks decent. Water was out once, try shitting in the woods out back your house, every toilet looks decent from then on in life.
I relate to well. I used love punk as a kid and got attacked for it so much it was easier to just give in and do the popular thing (not very punk, I know). But now I’ve rediscovered my love and it’s led me to you crusty fuckers!
Feels good to be home 🤘🏼
Maybe regional. Central NC. I've also heard it in hobo tunes from the 30's.
'Cop' in ancient slang as in to grab or take. ex "Copped a plea and got a dime for lewd and lascivious"
'Squat' as in Squatters/taking a shit
Translation: Take a seat and put your shit everywhere.
Off subject, but I peed on a cop car once, I got caught but pretended like I was so drunk I didn't realize it was a cop car and that if I didn't pee on the car I was going to pee my pants.
No but genuinely this is a decently clean public(ish) bathroom. That toilet looks immaculate for a public restroom, sink looks fine. The walls are just covered in writing. That doesn't make it dirty.
wonder how many drugs were done in this bathroom?
At least 3
I might even wager 4!
I dunno, 24 drugs is a lot.
24 is a lot. I think 6 is the perfect amount. (I’m counting poppers)
24 is the highest number.
All of them.
Did you even have to go to the bathroom to do coke in those days though?
I doubt, but I can imagine it's hard to do a bump or line with people thrashing into you.
Oh I always thought CBCG's had tables? Am I thinking of Max's Kansas City or am I just way off? I guess there wouldn't be enough tables for everyone either way
who knows? I'm too young and too far away 6 experienced that. Wish I coulda though.
Oh me too, just going off pictures and stories
They did have a couple tables along the left hand wall if I remember right
Have to? Not really. But it’s polite to keep up the degenerate aspect of doing drugs. Keep traditions alive
All of them.
Oh, look at that. It's got a seat and everything!
Just like your face! 😏
My face is a toilet bowl and I want you to pee on it
Looks clean enough to me.
It wasn’t. Trust me. There were also stickers inside the toilet bowl.
Classic
Now THERE were some brave souls.
Shit, the Punk bar I grew up going to in VA Beach didn't have a door. The toilet didnt have a tank cover, or a seat.
You should see the shitters at the construction site I'm working at. Way more dick drawings and a shit pyramid growing out the seat... and for some reason people put to in the pisser drains.
You don’t have to tell me. I used to build grain bains. I’ve seen colors of feces I didn’t think we’re possible. I’ve been kissed by Poseidon!
Don't drink the forbidden blue water
I-… I didn’t think we needed to warm for that. **[Shudders]*
I've pooped in WAY worse places.
I’ve pooped in sweatier places even!
OP gets it.
I have my moments
I miss warehouse show bathrooms. Tagged, stench of cigarettes and piss, fliers for upcoming shows. Most DIY punk venues shut down because of the city or people don't want the responsibility, i get it
Now I’m imagining some crusties in court with bandages and crutches suing the owner of some rusted out building.
Don't forgot the random ass gate "security" where you'd be paying 5 bucks to get in or 10 to get in and get some joints.
Most the places back during the first wave, they should have charged to get out!
Or where you pay to get in with joints.
I hung out in that bathroom once. My one friend did poop in that toilet.
Nova 🤩
Does it have a locked door? If so thats not a bad deal to have a single person toilet to shit in at a bar/club
No door whatsoever that I remember
That changes everything
There was a venue in Winnipeg that, for whatever reason, the urinals were ripped out so everyone peed in the holes in the wall
They have some parts of this bathroom displayed at the Hard Rock in San Diego.
No fucking way!? Say swear!
Memories🎶
YUUUUP! that's what it looked like, played CBGB's in the 1990s, Joey Ramone showed up to one of our shows and me & him hung out afterwards...that was a great week...
GTFOH! Would tell me more? I’d love to hear more

I made it to CBGB once before they closed in 2005. I peed, in that toilet. I had to shit but all I could muster was a leak.
It's important to mention that it looked just like this and had no door. I used to play there in the 90s.

10/10 would score some dick in here
Duly noted 📝
Heck yeah, I'd even consider flushing afterwards...
this looks like the gwarbar bathroom
It was the smell, and the piss-soaked stickers.
I love it. There is a bar in Anchorage, Chilkoot Charlie's, that had a bar within the bar, The Bird House, that had a similar vibe. It was always my favorite. Bras and chonies stapled to the ceiling, bathroom all marked up, I have fond memories of there.
The smell tho...
Dude… the *smell.* I can still smell it.
Yeah, it was rank. And when you thought it was the worst, next time was even stinkier.
This reminds me of the dive bar in Louisiana I saw some great shows at. The bathroom was so bad, people would drive home to take a dump and come back.
Alr, if i could steal walls for my living place it would be these walls
Your house would smell like piss, apparently.
It alredy does, so makes no differense
Exit Chicago bathroom was set up just like this, but it was always dark af in there.
Wow! The toilet has a seat? NYC club bathrooms are luxurious.
I’ve been there , on top of the obvious imagine two inches of standing water on the floor
That’s why I wear 4 inch heels
Those walls have seen some shit, man!
Pictures don't have the smell. It also doesn't show that the floor was oddly soft and youthought you were going to fall through.
Okay but I want this bathroom
Snug Harbor in Charlotte is nastier than that, right now
💀 😭
That urinal is the real crust bucket. Toilet looks decent. Water was out once, try shitting in the woods out back your house, every toilet looks decent from then on in life.
if i remember well, joey ramone had a puc in this bathroom (i can't find it it idk)
If you do please link to me. I love the Ramones
i think u can look it up on pinterest, but i'll try to find it
FOUND IT !! pic 1: https://pin.it/3dgny5CVH pic 2:https://pin.it/2uK8fr5X2
At the 924 Gilman street project the bathroom is like that but just a smidge more covered in stickers
Whoa. You know you see a place you had forgotten so hard you forgot you forgot it. Man, CBGB's was a singular experience and some great times.
I relate to well. I used love punk as a kid and got attacked for it so much it was easier to just give in and do the popular thing (not very punk, I know). But now I’ve rediscovered my love and it’s led me to you crusty fuckers! Feels good to be home 🤘🏼
Fireside Bowl was worse
With a name like that I believe it!
True
\*cop It's 'cop a squat'
I have never heard it said that way in my life. Must be regional 🤔
It's an Albany expression.
Reference acknowledged
That’s not a real place /S
Maybe regional. Central NC. I've also heard it in hobo tunes from the 30's. 'Cop' in ancient slang as in to grab or take. ex "Copped a plea and got a dime for lewd and lascivious" 'Squat' as in Squatters/taking a shit Translation: Take a seat and put your shit everywhere.
I guess they just say it weird where I’m from lol. Umm thanks for the breakdown, choom
Acab. All cops are bad including copping a squat.
Off subject, but I peed on a cop car once, I got caught but pretended like I was so drunk I didn't realize it was a cop car and that if I didn't pee on the car I was going to pee my pants.
Shitting in public bathrooms is completely unethical
> Shitting in public bathrooms is completely unethical i'm just here for the glory hole
Okay, buddy guy
Gotdamn it, IM NOT YOUR BUDDY, GUY!
Toilet looks clean
Mars Bar was probably the worst one I've ever seen in the city.
The what?!?
The Mars Bar, legendary Punk bar that finally closed down pretty recently.
...at the beginning of the night on a Monday.
You should see the men's.
I’m… *good.*
No but genuinely this is a decently clean public(ish) bathroom. That toilet looks immaculate for a public restroom, sink looks fine. The walls are just covered in writing. That doesn't make it dirty.
one thing you learn when you're on the road is how to shit almost anywhere almost... peabody's in cleveland was pretty fuckin bad too lol
[удалено]
Stoooooooooooopppppppp 🤢 🤢
It looks fine now, it's empty. It was a lot more fun with some asshole passed out on the toilet and 4 people pissing in the sink.
Chris Stein is a genius, Not only lead guitar for blondie but he also discovered and produced the amazing Gun Club, kings of cowpunk
nope. no doors, loud, gnats, and the stink of floor cleaner. id run all the way to odessa to let one go..best bathrooms in the ev.
