I was at the Whisky in 1989 and it was filthy inside. Hopefully that has changed. It looks much better on the outside too... except for the Nickleback poster on the side, haha.
I wonder if it is still "pay to play" there?

The "pay to play" thing is sort of deceptive. Having been involved in this in the past we never really lost any money. The bands in LA really hustle the promotion thing and most of the better ones can get 100 people or so on a Sunday night.

Last I heard it was 100 tickets at $8, mind you that was, uh,,,, a few months ago.... yeah a few months....

Really though, the inside is shitty but it was sort of like CBGB's, it was part of the whole.

It is cleaner inside with the son running the place now....

My Dad and Uncle were involved in the sound for Johhny Rivers at the Whiskey in 1967...

There are some other places to play in the area that are not pay to play but most of the bigger names are....

So when you look around here it could be worse....

PS the hookers are on Hollywood just one city block north of the strip...
Much seedier area. That's where I took my kids and wife....

Take the strip west about 7-8 miles and you are at the Pacific Coast. Water temp about 67.....

Also Motley Crue, Poison, GNR, Ratt, Janes Addiciton all did the Showcase thing...

Dude you got nothing to be jealous of! You rock!

It is just a different way to play...

Back to Madden 2010, I put Vick in as a wide out...
