Graceland is definetly a bucket list for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that he is buried there as last I heard Presley works in my local Tescos packing shelves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PirateRadio Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Get a tattoo at one of the spots that the band used. You’ll remember that one forever! Cool you’re doing this. Fantastic idea 💡 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a motel in Hollywood, just off of Sunset , called the Alta Cinega motel where Morrison used to crash. You can actually rent the room where he used to stay. It's amazing that it's still an operating motel after 50 years. But judging from what I've seen online, it's a real flea bag place. Even more so now than when Morrison was there.

Same thing in Seattle, there's this cheap motel (Marco Polo Motel), in a bad part of town, where Kurt Cobain always disappeared to in the last months of his life when he wanted to get away from everything. He had this huge house in Seattle and he'd go rent a room in this seedy part of town in a disgusting motel, always renting the same room, just to get fucked up and god knows what else he did in there on his own. Some fans go there to rent the same room Cobain always used, but I don't get it... that's so depressing.

There is Graffiti all over the wall in the Morrison room, the owners used to paint over it but it was a losing battle so they just let it go. I guess they figure it adds to the allure of the room. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I've come to note with classical music is that you sort of have to listen to it really loud to get everything, the low bits go really low. Yes, that's why I only listen to classical music when I'm at home and not in the car or on the train Listen to Mahlers 1st symphony, the 3rd movement is so quiet, especially the end , you really have to turn up the volume and then the 4th movement starts with a hit on the crash cymbal and your hearing is gone immediately Edited July 12, 2019 by SAU3R 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueJean Baby Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 The studio scenes were shot here: Record Plant The Plant Address 1032 N Sycamore Ave, Los Angeles, California 90038 It is still there but was bought out in 2016 by songwriter/producer Philip Lawrence.

BlueJean Baby Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Welcome to the Jungle video info: The video, which opens with Axl Rose playing his Midwestern roots to the hilt, chewing some wheat as he disembarks from a bus at the corner of 6th Street and South La Brea Avenue, in LA, was largely focused on a performance of ‘Jungle’ filmed at the iconic 80s hard rock club Scream, then held at the Park Plaza Hotel. https://www.udiscovermusic.com/stories/welcome-jungle-video-guns-n-roses/amp/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
