Never thought about it until today but I've played CBGBs more than any other venue.

RIP Hilly. Thanks.

Anybody else find it sickening that this was on MTV.com ?

defstarsteve - 8-29-2007 at 01:48 PM

sorry
I saw it on another board
but their link was to some shit site, (not like mtv isn't shit)
but had to find a somewhat legit source for myself and it was the first to come up...

That wasn't a shot at you, I'm just thinking back to the days MTV shunned punk like the plague, now they're somehow the progenitors of it?

RIP.

MTV has some whole fuckin slideshow on their site documenting the dismantling of CBGB.

R.I.P. Hilly

I wonder if they'll still go through with the plans to open a club called cbgb's in Las Vegas ?
I really hope not
let the past be the past

The thing I read said that his daughter is going to open more clubs.

RiP Hilly
only saw 2 shows at CBs
The last sheer terror show and a joe coffee gig that i brang the shirts to
me and my girl flapped about this for a minute and shit, the amount of history that this dude is at least partially responsible for is imense.
ramones
dead boys
blondie
and a whole lotta crap.
im drunk on rum right now
but im glad cbs died on the bowery and not in some stupid spot in vegas or somethin

Rest In Peace, Hilly. You made a huge impact on my life and I never even got to see your place in person.
