I had a slight doubt that the self titled album cover wall looked like it could be a tad off . After reading some comments it appears I wasn’t alone . It’s tough to match up 40 year old walls but seems like I was on opposite side of the little garden from where it was . Anyone in the area should go confirm and document it . Clearly the opinions online are incorrect

Im a lifelong New Yorker. I once was walking by the club just as Hilly was opening the doors at about noon. I asked him if I could hang out and have a few beers, and I wouldn't bother him. We walked in and I drank some beers as he did paperwork and made phone calls. I was quiet and didn't bother him. I had the whole place to myself and walked around. Great memory.

My friend lost a shoe at a Ramones show.  We waited after the show for the crowd to clear, the floor was littered with shoes but we couldn't find hers.

The band i was in opened for the Ramones at The Edge show, April of 94...insane how nice and down to earth they really were!  Adam, I was the guy that said hi to  you at the Dawn Of The Dead showing in Orlando at Regal, October 2023..i was wearing the Samhain tshirt. 😂

Hi Adam, the weather couldn’t be more perfect for all your filming and documenting. These NYC videos are so good. I hope you keep going back to visit this incredible city. Thanks for all your hard work👍

Agnostic Front live at the CBGB is an awesome live album

The Ramones were the soundtrack of my adolescence - the Ramones opened my eyes to a whole new world of music, a world that wasn't just all pop top 40 bubble gum stuff - punk was so different, so rebellious, I was instantly smitten

One big regret is never getting to see  a Ramones show.  Beautiful historical  review today!  I really enjoyed it! 😀

My most memorable CBGB moment actually occurred outside of those four walls, in 1996. My friend and I had arrived at the club late one summer night, only to find that it was closed for a private event. The young band that had arrived to discover that they had been incorrectly booked due to a scheduling error set up their gear on the roof of their van, the club ran cables across the Bowery sidewalk (that was the old NYC -  nobody would risk the liability today), and the band put on a ferocious performance for everyone in traffic along Bowery & Bleecker. The band was The Beth Hart Band.

I saw The Ramones on November 7,1995 when they opened for Pearl Jam at the San Diego Sports Arena. Pearl Jam always had (still does) the highest respect for the Godfathers of Punk.

Hi Adam, it’s Larry from the tribute band Sedated. Saw you at the Chili Cook Off. CBGB’s was where the Dead Boys played and had a residency in the 70s. You said you never heard of them. They were the feature band in the movie CBGB from 2013. Highly recommended you watch that. Haha I had to go to 53rd and 3rd also! Was able to go inside CB’s in 2005 and shortly after they closed.

I once went to the old CBGB. The employees allowed me to take pictures but I put the camera in the trunk of my car and it was February and the cold damaged the film. I had a picture of the old bathroom and of one of the Gabba Gabba Hey signs. When I was outside, a woman offered to show me where the picture from the first album was taken. It was 9 pm and a stranger was taking me through the area in the dark to show me the location. You are pretty accurate with that brick wall. I had to look through the fence to see it. Thank you Adam. Great video!

The first band I ever seen live was the Ramones when they opened for White Zombie on November 29, 1995 in Lewiston, Maine

I just finished Debbie Harry's autobiography, and I'm now reading Chris Stein's.  I loved their memories about the early Ramones.

You have definitely been getting your steps in during your stay in NYC

I went to rehab in 1988 with Joey.  We shared a shrink Dr Jaeger.  Holliswood Hospital.  Is that a good thing? I don’t know about Joey but I’m clean 34 years and a few months.  Moved out of nyc to SC 7 years ago.   Don’t miss it one bit.  I remember those places you’re showing.  Littered with needles and vomit etc.  So glad God helped me through it and I’m still alive 🤩😘

These are the style vlogs I miss and love when you do them. NY is an amazing place so full of amazing history and food. There is always something to do. You would love living there at least part time, winters up north can def suck sometimes.

This Vlog gave me chills!!!! You just accomplished some of my bucket list today. I can believe you were standing at the former CBGBs!!!!😍 Well done Adam the Woo 🙌💯

Having been to CBGB's music venue countless times and spent my late teens/20s in the Queens neighborhood when several of the Ramones lived there, I really appreciate this tour of the East Village. For old-timers like me, the birthplace/soul of punk is Tompkins Square Park, several blocks east of where you were. Thanks for the great vlog!

Thanks cool vid man , I've only got to NY once mid 90s & CBGB was 1 of my most Stop & see places . I'm greatful the new owner has kept some the history in thier shop awesome . I do agree with chat about garden has your walk through where guy was sitting  that's it opposite wall . I think & believes that NY should make CBGB's a Historic site , because of All who played there ; ) Rock on Cat's , MorWil still a GenXser gutter punk & Rocker !o! Later's
