How cool is this? Takes me back to when I haunted that place (and played there a few times). A terrific place to see new bands or just hang out.

These pictures are after my time, though (the bathroom wasn't so nice, LOL), and sadly, "CB's" is no more...

Wow, what a dump.

I suppose Studio 54 wasn't particularly glamorous either.

Cool. Looks like a good place to get over any fear you might have of performing live. You know, a nice calm and pleasent atmosphere! Nothing intimidating about it at all.

Not with the work lights on at about 8 AM, I'm sure!  I used to work in a similar, er, establishment, and the Morning After was something to behold. 

CBGB was really just a very egalitarian, unpretentious, neighborhood-bar kind of place, even when it was world-famous. I feel right at home in a place like that. But yes, they didn't spend much money on repairs or decor... it was the rent that finally did them in.
