Your landlord can suck it.

I'll hope for the best, but I have many memories of my youth in the original CBGB's building since 1976.

I will miss the original location greatly, but I will support your decision to open in any location you choose.

Best Wishes, Kitty Hawke

Not that my band has ever had the chance to play 'THE CLUB', I would just like to say that it sure would've been nice.

Obviously,you're landlord is an IDIOT,who knows nothing of the history through which the club has lived.

To wit,there are few if any bars in the U.S.,nay the world,that has seen the likes of stars that that stage has played host to.

Many childrens' dreams have been to play that space,many dreams will now be lost.

But then again,we could all say a big fuck you to the landlords...........................

My request....on the last night.........BURN THAT FUCKER DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 It's truly,the only way for it to go. A Pyre........Ever Higher.

Long Live the Dream. For Joey,Johnny,DeeDee,etc..............CBGBs 4 EVER!

ps : If I could have a slot before the end....I'd make it worth the wait.   Crudbal.

2000 Kudo's!!!!!!!

....And the Cradle will Rock!!!!!!!

And the Cradle, Cradle will Rock!!!!!!!

And I say ROCK ON!!!!!!!!!

ROCK ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS MUZZY IS A SCUMBAG!!!!! ETERNAL!!!!! Let's stuff him into one of the Toilets down stairs!!!!!

this sounds foolish, I know, but I'm not going to believe it's going to close until the day it shuts it's doors

until then, there's always room for as you say "a miracle", and me and my friends will be waiting for it, even if it means handcuffing ourselves to the building

cbgb's can't close, that's just ridiculus

it is the epitome of new york city.

Yes I think you should use the name and go for it not only in Vegas but all over the country. There are CBGB supporters. Saint Louis, MO would also be a great place. You might even be able to buy land in the Midwest besides rent. I know it sucks to be evicted for a bunch of crap. We as punks need to start buying land so this kind of crap does not happen.

If  we own the land we have the power; then we can rent to people and do the evicting instead of the other way around.

This is very bad news.  But not as terrible as it could conceivably be.  I hope that things go amazingly well in the new digs.. and I am positive that the legacy will live on in the new location.

Your current "landlord" is going to get his....  don't you worry.  The cosmos has a way of balancing everything out... and that guy's in for it, one of these times, I say.

since i first heard the news of CB's closing being "official"...i haven't known what to even say...think...anything. i just know that it makes my entire body feel weak - like it's missing something that it needs to live. my love, my passion, my raw unbridalled emotion for music...as well as that of many, many others...lives in...bleeds through...those walls. 

from hardcore shows, to punk shows, to rock shows, and every other show that i've had the privilage of seeing on that historical stage...everything i experienced after stepping through those doors...and a good amount while standing outside them...will live on in memory forever.

when the "all mighty dollar" becomes more important than the heart and soul of music...and the heart and soul of NY as far as i'm concerned...it's a somber, dark day in age.

while i'm still holding out for that miracle...i'm also wishing the best for you all and looking forward to new memories in the new location.

i know the new CB's will live up to the name...but at this point...it's just hard to let go of 315...it's a landmark and should have been treated as such.

my heart's saddened...but hoping for a bright future.

Why nogotiate with landlord for a lease and just buy the location is possible. Instead of Save CBGB change it to Buy CBGB's. Have musician and Fans all over the world either donate or become an investor for the purchase of that property. You can also try finding another property similar to that location. Buy it contingent that the owner would swap locations with you. Just a thought.

Thanks

We would, if we could.

It's not for sale... no matter how much money is offered.

Yeah, Buy another location that BRC is willing to swap CBGB location for. That's the ticket. Win / Win

Without going in to details, they tried.  There were some private talks behind closed doors involving many different celebrities and rock stars who tried to help.

Bottom line... the landlord turned them all down.

TELL YOUR LANDLORD TO READ THIS!!!!!!!

ARE YOU F-ING HEARTLESS ,THIS IS CBGB'S WE'RE TALKING ABOUT,... HISTORY!!
THER IS NO NEW LOCATION THAT WILL DO THE SOUL OF THIS ONE PLACE AND ESTABLISHMENT JUSTICE, 'CAUSE THEY HAVE DONE MORE FOR THE **LIFE** OF MUSIC THAN MABY ANY OTHER VENUE IN THE U.S.A..

I AM TRULY SORRY YOU GUYS DONT OWN THIS BUILDING.
AND i AM EVEN MORE SORRY THAT WHO OWNS THIS BUILDING,DOESN'T GIVE A SHIT THAT I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO GO AND SEE A SHOW AT CBGB'S LIKE MY FATHER DID

F- ANY ONE WHO VALUES $ OVER HISTORY
(AND WHAT SINGLE, RETAIL OR OTHERWISE,  ESTABLISHMENT COULD EVER HAVE THE  IMPACT ON YOUR CHILDRENS LIVES LIKE CBGB'S HAS ON ALL OF US?)

we should so do that

riot

kill ur landlord   duhhh!!!!

NOOOOOO!!!!
