can not believe they knocked down the palladium. nothing was sacred in NYC

Didn't they turn it into apartments? Shocking...

i think it was knocked down and turned into dorms for NYU. I used to live in that area of the City when I was at School.

this is what they did to penn station after knocking it down

That's crapola! That was beautiful architecture turned into run of the mill shit that you see everywhere... Imagine Greenwich & Soho gone? That would be destroying some of the funkiest parts of NY, real character in those places.. Heritage needs to be left in tact...

I was at a party the other day & could hear these people talking about the Apple iPhone & how great technology is. I said to them, 'You know what was great, as a kid, I'd get A2 milk at school for free. The bread, milk, newspaper, fruit, soft drinks & ice cream would be delivered to your home at not extra cost. And the big one, Doctors would visit you at home...Now that was technology. The people just looked & me & all nodded. No come backs.
As things stand, the world has lost it way. Stop this heap of spinning shit, I want to get off.

Technology is good for fun but that's about it.
Can someone really fill me in on what the 4S does that the 4 can't? Other than being packaged with software not available to the 4that it could probably do anyway? I dual core in a phone???? WHat the hell for?
I'd be happy if i still had my black/white nokia from 10 yrs ago. It worked....probably better than my shit nokia now.
Breakthroughs in medicine are always welcome but other than that, i would be happy trotting around on horse back

I'm with you Dannii, technology has accelerated everything and the world is in 5th gear at all times now... Customer Service is dead & buried & your lucky to get Good service in some retail outlets. Development is also still moving quickly and all of our cities will eventually look like Hong Kong & Tokyo as real estate space values rise and the supply will eventually diminish & demand will continue to increase... The only solution is to build more Skyscrapers... More & more old buildings are being torn down in my City of Brisbane to make way for them...the Central Business District is now expanding into the surrounding suburb of the Valley as space is so scarce in the CBD of Brisbane...The Festival Hall which was a very famous live music venue in the heart of the city and an institution amongst our people was sold to developers and turned into Apartments. The Beatles performed at this venue in 1964...we are destroying our History.

It's all moving & changing so quickly & if you keep your eyes closed for too long then you'll get left behind wondering where you are...

***Apple is over rated

I can only shake my head and feel sad.

You guys are awesome. I love your hearts. SLURP

Did I title this topic? I must be crazy as I have no memory.

Yeah D this is yours

I have never done drugs and I'm not accusing Dino of it either. I would however like to extract some of your DNA and shoot it directly into my eyeballs so I can see the world as you do MY BROTHER !!!

I am sure I posted it under an Eric Carr thread , not a ny buildings.

Yes, it was such a departure it was simple to move the building talk to it's own thread. I just split the posts.

Sometimes when the thread wanders from topic it's a bit messy to clean it up with talk cross threading but when it's easy enough I move it to a more appropriate place and give it it's own thread. Standard mod stuff.

Haha sorry Dino, I thought you started this thread

He did. In another thread!!

vic, thank god - I was going to go to the doctors tomorrow.

it started in the eric carr hawk costume thread and i was thinking of his first gig at the palladium in NYC which is why I posted the picture as it was knocked down a little later after being turned into a very 80s style night club like something max headroom would hang out in
[youtube][/youtube]

That's sounds cool, The Palladium nightclub in NY in the 80's, wouldn't been loads of fun

this is how it looked as a club

Look at those Hantarex's . Best Tv's ever!

Man, that's wild! Very futuristic appearance!

Thanks for posting D

Shame I won't ever get to see the buildings of olde... although I'm losing my NYC virginity this Sunday! I've also just found out that my hotel, according to google maps, is a 2 minute walk to 48th St (Rudy's Music) - I'm on the lookout for a US Strat (unless a nice Charvel/Jackson can tempt me).

I remember Poserdude shared a link about a kiss fan who did a "Kiss NY tour"...would be great to replicate that, but doubt my girlfriend would share the same enthusiasm! Hopefully those buildings will last long enough for me to check out in the future

Enjoy the trip to NY Nick, you'll love it!

Thanks love! I'll sink a beer in your honour (And assume it's safe, don't really want to be worshipping the poreclain gods all week!)

Nick, check out the USA and Japanese San Dimas Charvel line, better than a US Strat!!!! Fantastic necks.

Enjoy your NY trip, I'm jealous!!

You'll be cool with the water over there, no porcelain bus action hopefully!

I'm jealous too!

Thanks for the heads up, I'll be sure to check them out - although from what I've seen they all have humbuckers? I'm feeling the lurve for a bit of single coil stratty action at the moment, but I'll try a few and see how I get on

Good to know, I remember going to Thailand for a few months... took a while to 'train' my stomach

Nick

They do pretty much have humbuckers, yes. Check 'em out anyhow, you're going to be at the homeland of Charvel.

I never drink tap water. I've got a 5 stage reverse osmosis system. That's the only water I drink from. Or Noble's Pureau®. My theory is, would you wash your car with a dirty rag, then why drink dirty water. Yer, I'm up myself.

Hey this is quite an interesting discussion to speak on with regards to the Apartments in the city of Manhattan and specially the connectivity with the Vinnie Vincent community..

Hi, welcome. Are you here in regard to NYC apartments or Vinnie Vincent? Pretty funny if you for here through an apartment search. Welcome either way.

Go to 10 E. 23rd Street. Where it all began. There is a park across the street where you can sit, marinate , and enjoy.
The corner of 23rd and 8th is where the Dressed To Kill photo shoot took place.

Have a great time. Get some Ray's Famous Pizza for me !!!


If your there on a Monday. I believe the Les Paul Trio still plays at the Iridium. R.I.P. & GOD Bless Les Paul

8th and 23rd is chelsea. I lived on 21st between 8th and 7th for for a while (gay center). I did not know that was where dressed to kill was shot. I know a lot of Peter Criss landmarks from Brooklyn but I never thought about Dressed to kill. Sorry but Rays Pizza is gross. all i can think about is seeing old pie sitting out waiting to be re-heated and always got one with broccoli on it. Marios on Arthur Ave in the Bronx's Little Italy and Lombardi's in manhattans little italy along with John's on Bleeker are my favourites.
I always figured dressed to kill was somewhere in the village near to electric lady studios.

that means the dressed to kill cover was just a block from the village peoples McBurney YMCA. haha

Thanks for the tips! I'm there for 3 nights only, but the Les Paul Trio sounds good (as does the pizza).

I'm always up for marinating in a park too

Bedford ave in Brooklyn is the band hang out, worth a visit. Catch the l train on 14th street. Two stops down to graham av you can see peter criss's old house.

Fortunato bros at graham av stop is an Italian bakery and cafe that peter used to hang out at. Still in the same place.

Hey thanks for accepting me as one of the partners of the members of your community, well I'm not so much in concerned with the NYC apartments but just have a great thought of being contributing about some views about it..

My wife and I went to NYC back in June. A friend of hers was working there that week so she let us stay at the hotel for free. Needless to say I hit some KISS landmarks... below is me in the hallway where KISS took their first promo shot in the 10 E. 23rd St. loft back in '73 and the second pic is the corner of 23rd and 8th for the DTK shoot. I actually went to the loft back in 2005 but didn't get any pics. The opposite side of the loft is now a comic book store. And yes, we did sit across the street and marinate in the park...



Notice the same pipes in the background and stair rails... those stairs felt like they were ready to fall at any moment:





lightpole hasn't changed much:

Cool pics man. I would love to go to NYC one day. Somebody sponsor me?

Safeway bag in nyc? You had to bring that with you?.

Vic , i have an empty house you can stay in.

Nice, thanks Dino. Now just for some flights and spending money!!

doublev2 wrote:Safeway bag in nyc? You had to bring that with you?.

There was one in Chinatown... I remember cause I had to use the bathroom BAD.

I'm more concerned about the pink frilly thing in the Safeway bag!!!!!!!

Uber cool pics PW!

PW---- Nice !!!!

Vinnie ain't the only one who likes pink lace... I mean it does match my shoes...

It's just amazing that those Kiss landmarks look pretty much the same as they did in the 1970's.
