We are down at the Sunset Strip today in Hollywood California. We are going to be checking out some hot spot clubs today, a lot of places that I have played. A lot of history down here, the Door started down here.
We are walking towards the Key Club up here. Once a week at the Key club there is a band called metal school, they are 80s tribute band. My band open for metal school fairly recently and the audience was a killer, they were awesome.
A lot of different looking people out there looking at them, from my point of view as a drummer I could totally look out there and see people and it were awesome. It was like looking at a poison video or something. It was pretty cool.
We started out as Guzzoris it was like the place in the 80s it was the spot, poison, Cinderella, faster pussycat all of those came from here. This is the spot where they partied at.
You could see a band here and then six months from then the band is blowing up. So, anything can happen. The Cat club is founded by Slim Jim Phantom drummer of the Mustray Cats awesome drummer. Stood up when he play drums was just completely cool.
On Thursday nights…and they have a lot of people come here and do jams. Slash comes here a lot. The doors here at the Cat club are made of Marshall Cabinets which are the font of guitar cabinets. Cat club rules!

This is the Whiskey; this is the most famous club on the Strip. The doors with the housebound here, they got noticed discovered in Hollywood; they got discovered from this club.
We play at the whiskey and at the end of our show, we actually had a song called cat party and at the end of the song we invite the whole crowd to our apartment. The owner of the Viper room was Johnny Depp for a long time. River phoenix unfortunately passed away here.
The viper room is known for a lot of really good things. So, behind my drums and we are playing the show and the viper room is so small that I can see my friends in the audience or fans and record executive’s right there.
