1:24

1:31
really never know what the the 182
1:32
stands for or what it's supposed to
1:34

and then
1:37

2:10
it's good though
2:11
not really i'm inviting you to join me
2:17
and alex
2:17
cheers
2:18
what'd you get
2:20
cold brew
2:23
piping on caffeinated beverage
2:25
shalia
2:34
this is the cerrito
2:34
theater here in el cerrito
2:37
which stands for little hill i didn't
2:39
know that you told me that
2:45
there's also a cerritos in california or
2:45
southern california
2:48
but this is el sarita
2:50
so cerita would just be hill not little
2:52
hill
2:53
no it would be it would be a little hill
2:54
so i guess this would be the little the
2:57
little okay yeah the little hill
3:03
cerritos just little ones
3:03
cerrito means little hill
3:06
so as the story goes
3:08
metallica met
3:10
cliff burton
3:12
i think my voice just cracked right
3:13
there did you hear that going through
3:15
puberty he's like
3:20
in hollywood
3:21
because they were in la band
3:23
also it's right next to this philip 76
3:25
next to the blue house here
3:27
is a small green house
3:29
and
3:30
they ended up moving up here
3:33
with burton
3:34
and worked on and wrote ride the
3:36
lightning
3:37
and what was the other one around ride
3:39
the lightning time master of puppets
3:40
master puppets
3:42
yes
3:43
she said it's called the carlson mansion
3:46
why is it called the carlson mansion
3:48
the big house
3:49
for uh you know
3:51
a thrash punk band living there at the
3:52
time yeah
3:58
so where were they practiced
3:58
like in that back garage around there
4:01
maybe because there's a two-car garage
4:03
it is pretty big for
4:05
yeah
4:06
compared to the other houses
4:09
on the street here
4:11
i could see how you'd refer to this as a
4:13
mansion
4:15
yeah i would imagine if i was living
4:17
here and i had a band i'd probably
4:19
practicing in that back space back there
4:22
yeah just wondering how old that
4:24
that building even is back there you're
4:26
thinking the one in the back might be
4:27
newer maybe because this would have been
4:29
mid 80s yeah
4:31
that was like 85 86 ish
4:34
36 86 everything so this is like
4:36
probably 83 83 okay maybe i don't know
4:39
maybe even history zone but
4:41
mid 80s yeah early mid 80s yeah
4:45
so you just picture all the fellas in
4:46
here rocking out
4:48
having some some wild hoot nannies
4:50
there's definitely a picture of all them
4:51
hanging out in the couch in the living
4:52
room you can see like oh there's a phone
4:54
we should find that photo so there's a
4:55
photo of them all sitting on the couch
4:56
in the living room and you kind of see
4:57
like the trees like out there right now
5:00
all right i'm gonna look that photo up
5:01
in a moment
5:09
no placard at all here no plaque no info
5:09
no historical documentation
5:12
place there is this laundry hamper
5:15
that's here and there's this cactus
5:24
what if a puppet just jumped out of here
5:24
i'd be terrified like a master of like
5:26
you could be the you could be the master
5:29
of puppets
5:35
this is pretty dang cool this is some
5:35
serious music history i am not the
5:37
biggest
5:38
metallica guy
5:41
i do like their stuff but it's not
5:43
definitely not one of my favorite bands
5:45
but i can appreciate the history
5:47
same
5:48
okay i'm noticing in the photo them all
5:50
sitting on the couch basically in the
5:51
living room you could see this in the
5:54
back
5:54
ground behind out the window
6:00
it would be the window right there
6:01
behind those shrubs
6:03
behind the foliage they would have been
6:05
sitting and looking out
6:06
back across so going across this out
6:08
here
6:09
and you can see out the window right
6:11
over there there's two photos
6:14
of them sitting on the couch in that
6:15
window it's a pretty sweet photo right
6:17
there
6:19
got the maiden poster there on the wall
6:23
got the misfit shirt kicking
6:25
look at lars said he's not even sitting
6:27
properly he's like a rebel he's sitting
6:28
up on the top of the top portion of the
6:30
couch blocking the window call him james
6:32
ian that monkey one
6:34
but if you look up out here
6:36
in the back that's that stairwell
6:38
off in the distance that's pretty dang
6:40
cool
6:41
and just one block away from the
6:43
metallica mansion
6:46
is this very unique liquor store
6:50
called the pick and pack
6:57
wow i like the architecture of this
6:57
and this is where the band would come
6:59
down and get some brewskis and some
7:02
other
7:03
fun beverages
7:05
you want to tell your story about the
7:06
pick and packing puke
7:09
oh i have a bar regular who i used to
7:10
work here when he was a kid and uh not
7:12
kid i guess like young men
7:14
and they would come in here and just buy
7:15
like you know liquor and beer from him
7:17
and i guess apparently in one of the
7:18
albums they
7:20
thank the pick and pack by calling it
7:21
the pick and pack and puke so in the
7:23
liner notes of one of the albums they
7:25
think the pick and pack and puke the
7:27
pick and packing few
7:30
pick and pack and puke
7:36
that's what i'm ever well i mean how
7:36
often do i pass by this place but if i
7:38
ever pass by this place that's what i'm
7:40
gonna start calling it because metallica
7:41
called it that there's a couple
7:42
locations too oh there's more than one
7:45
there's one right by gilman too
7:47
there's a there's more than one pick in
7:48
pack and puke right by 924 gilman street
7:50
as well now when i think of this area i
7:52
think of gilman street being the
7:53
legendary venue hey if i played their
7:56
operation have you played their rants
7:57
and played there i don't think metallica
7:59
ever played gilman
8:01
i don't know maybe
8:03
i'm gonna say metallica never played
8:04
yoga
8:06
you're looking it up
8:10
i would imagine metallica
8:13
probably would have wanted to play
8:14
gilman or maybe not
8:19
that'll strike me as a gilman kind of
8:19
band
8:37
just picture head filled walking in
8:54
oh that's true yeah clip would have been
8:54
his neighborhood
8:55
they moved up here for him
9:00
crazy
9:00
looks as if heisenberg is over here
9:02
waiting for the next show
9:04
to happen at gilman street now i looked
9:05
up to see if they were going to have a
9:06
show while i was oh there's another
9:08
another heisenberg down at the end down
9:11
but there were
9:12
a few heisenberg a few heisenbergs
9:15
but right across the street here's this
9:16
canning shop
9:17
now we were here
9:18
three or three or four years ago when i
9:20
was in town we stopped by here but this
9:21
is a win in rome moment you have when
9:23
you're in berkeley
9:24
you have to go by gilman street i've
9:26
always wanted to go to a show here this
9:27
is the cbgb's of the west coast without
9:31
the alcohol
9:32
there's no alcohol no
9:34
that's why everybody goes down to the
9:35
picket pack and puke pick them back and
9:37
kick again
9:39
all right let's walk over there check
9:40
out some of the stickers that are on the
9:42
on the windows though and i guess i also
9:44
should mention that cbgb's is closed so
9:46
that you can't really compare the two
9:47
because this is still open oh there's
9:49
one the airport
9:50
there's the cbgb's in the airport i
9:52
think in newark right
9:54
wait there's a venue in the airport i
9:56
don't know it's just you know
9:58
it's like you're a hard rock cafe like a
10:00
hard rock cafe and then where cbgb's is
10:03
in new york it's now a clothing store or
10:04
something weird like that
10:06
they still have some of the old stickers
10:08
and stuff over there though the 924
10:09
gilman has not been converted into a
10:11
merchandise store it still has the punk
10:15
rock shows
10:18
i had to go back in time and see
10:20
operation ivy here rancid here
10:22
afi here
10:24
some of the other bands that all played
10:26
behind these walls
10:32
you know for a while the there's a afi
10:32
video that they that they recorded in
10:34
berkeley and i always thought that they
10:35
did the live performance part of it in
10:39
but it was another place that closed
10:40
down
10:41
i'll go over there
10:43
go over there in a little bit
10:44
trying to think of the theme of the
10:45
music video it was the one modeled after
10:48
reservoir dogs where davey was in the
10:49
trunk
10:54
it's off answer that and stay
10:54
fashionable
11:02
i don't want to look it up i want to i
11:02
don't want to look it up
11:03
i might have to you got to get 90s about
11:05
it just think
11:06
from memory
11:07
think from memory i'm gonna i'm not
11:08
gonna i'm not gonna
11:10
i'm not gonna stop this this edit until
11:12
i figure out what it is look at some of
11:13
the stickers up what i'm trying to think
11:14
what it would have been is off answer
11:15
that and say fashionable afi
11:18
he who last laughed he who lasts
11:21
he who laughs last that's it
11:24
i didn't want to edit it because then i
11:26
knew that i would end up looking it up i
11:28
don't know you got to figure this out
11:34
you know this has the out only on it and
11:34
this is the loading door yeah this is
11:36
the load in and outdoor the stage is
11:38
right there the sages right here yeah
11:40
right there
11:41
this is like deja vu because we were
11:43
you know half a decade ago talking about
11:45
this did they open the door for us all
11:46
summer no i've never i've never been in
11:50
one day if anyone went from giving to
11:52
194 gilman
11:54
one day one day you know a few years
11:55
from now when i come back through
11:58
we'll be in the same spot it'll be like
11:59
a deja vu moment again i can get in
12:01
there and this is also where billy joe
12:04
armstrong
12:05
got snuck in by lint armstrong tim
12:08
armstrong from op ivy
12:11
and that is why green day always covers
12:14
knowledge
12:15
because he had he always remembered that
12:17
moment he didn't have the money to go in
12:18
and pay through the front and tim
12:21
snuck him in back here
12:23
that's why that's why green bay always
12:24
plays knowledge from mob homies in too
12:27
that's it man
12:28
look at this old flyer right here taped
12:30
to the side
12:31
let's paste it to the side it looks
12:33
tasty it's like wheat pasted remember
12:35
the wheat beef or wheat wheat pasting oh
12:38
people hated us for that yeah we pasting
12:40
uh it was
12:49
what if jesse pinkman's on there
12:50
all right made it over to berkeley
12:51
square should i say what berkeley square
12:55
or where berkeley square used to be
12:57
the only thing that remains to this day
12:59
is the signage
13:00
here at 1333
13:08
where quite a plethora of punk shows
13:08
took place
13:09
you know pretty much everyone that
13:10
played over at gilman also played here
13:12
at berkeley square you know a lot of the
13:13
same bands off ivy rancid and as
13:16
mentioned afi did the music video that i
13:18
talked about i did get the album i got
13:20
the song title right but i did look up
13:22
the album it was also very proud of the
13:23
album
13:24
which was the first release they had on
13:26
nitro records which was owned at the
13:28
time
13:29
does nitro even still a label
13:31
i'm not even sure
13:32
owned by dexter holland from the
13:34
offspring and fun fact
13:36
the first large well they think they had
13:38
one or two before it when they were on
13:40
the other labels but the first big tour
13:42
they ever did was with gutter mouth the
13:44
band that i joined later and that's
13:47
where i met davey havoc
13:48
on that tour a couple times on that
13:50
first tour
13:51
he wouldn't remember me now if he was
13:52
walking down the road and i said hi
13:54
he'd probably just be like hey what's up
13:56
man sam i am alex is always looking up
13:58
looking up stuff on his phone you look
14:00
at some of of the bands that played here
14:01
i'm a millennium man
14:03
you're a millennial i think so
14:06
the replacements played here uk subs
14:07
operation eddie guar
14:09
war played in there
14:11
the minutemen
14:13
that's crazy so i really the whole
14:15
intention was me to talk about how
14:17
the music video that was on remember the
14:20
vhs cinema beer goggles cinema beard
14:23
nuts oh yeah they had all these bands on
14:25
that's the first time i ever heard saw a
14:26
music video from gutter mouth
14:29
which the band we were in after that
14:31
band ended i joined guttermouth for a
14:32
little bit the end on nine music video
14:34
was on there but also that afi video
14:36
this is the old venue here the berkeley
14:38
square
14:39
venue
14:41
now i never went to a show here so i
14:42
don't know if this is the original
14:44
awning
14:45
and whatnot but it could be
14:48
yeah cinema beer goggles vhs and cinema
14:50
beer nuts vhs the nuts one is the one
14:53
that the afi video was on me and my
14:55
roommate will watch that those things
14:56
religiously about those music videos
14:58
before you just go on the internet and
15:00
search for music videos
15:03
i'm glad the sign's still here
15:04
do you ever
15:06
you ever go to any shows here
15:07
yeah this close wait before i move here
15:10
a four-year tie all right on this road
15:12
up this incline
15:15
here on campus this i guess we could
15:17
call this sorority row
15:19
where a lot of the fraternities are is
15:21
where afi
15:23
lived
15:24
for many years in fact three albums were
15:27
written the early years i love the early
15:29
years of afi
15:31
black sails
15:33
and a couple others right up here
15:40
got the trash cans out they must have
15:40
some some partying going on
15:41
yeah i mean af i don't live here anymore
15:43
but this
15:44
the fraternities and whatnot
15:46
also sing the sorrow
15:48
art of drowning
15:51
quite a few other people not just afi
15:52
but also singer of tiger army lived up
15:56
as well there's one photograph floating
15:58
around online
16:04
it was this one right here this is the
16:04
house
16:09
two seven two one no longer has the
16:09
address on it but if you search it this
16:10
is the one
16:12
oh it has it on there okay it's on the
16:13
side in the photo it's not on the the
16:16
banister though it's on the
16:17
it's kind of above the door right now
16:19
there it is two seven two one there's
16:21
davey on the bottom step right there
16:24
and everyone else there's a that's a
16:26
quite the
16:27
quite the cavalcade of
16:34
all-star lineup and they all practice if
16:34
i practice in the basement
16:41
so down in these in this very
16:41
basement of this our frat house
16:44
is where afi not technically began but
16:47
pretty much began they i think they were
16:48
a little bit north of here then they
16:50
moved down
16:51
onto the campus
16:52
maybe went to school
16:56
the band continued and kind of kind of
16:58
blew up from this
17:00
from this house i think there's even a
17:02
photo here
17:03
if you look at that little crack right
17:05
there in the pavement
17:06
that's where like davey's foot was yeah
17:11
and i kind of searched online to really
17:12
i don't know if
17:13
too many people have even really know
17:15
about this no i mean
17:18
but the other photo is the one right
17:21
which i'll show that photo too
17:23
i think there's a maintenance guy
17:24
working on the door
17:26
or maybe just someone peeking out to
17:28
wonder what's going on
17:34
i'll pull up that photo if it's not here
17:34
it might have been over at the neighbor
17:35
supposedly some of the other guys at
17:37
other bands lived in the one either next
17:39
door either this one
17:40
or in this one
17:43
every time i think of a frat house i
17:45
think of knight of the creeps
17:56
so this would be the zeta beta
17:56
what would the t stand for zeta beta
17:58
would be the two greek what's the t
18:00
are you up on your greek
18:02
no not at all
18:04
um
18:05
tomorrow i used to know the greek
18:07
alphabet but i'm gonna it's been a long
18:09
time since i quoted it alpha beta gamma
18:12
delta epsilon zeta eta theta iota kappa
18:14
lambda
18:16
mu nu
18:18
s psi
18:21
omega
18:22
i think i missed a few
18:24
i'm a little rusty alex i mean that was
18:26
that was really impressive yeah oh my
18:28
gosh
18:33
okay we tried matching this one up you
18:33
know of course there's obviously
18:35
they're big into halloween and pumpkins
18:36
they got the pumpkin there but this is a
18:38
promo thing for nitro it's not it's not
18:40
on this tree i thought it was the same
18:41
house but it's not this house from this
18:43
one the other photo with a whole group
18:45
standing there is but this one still a
18:47
mystery
18:48
it's up for debate
18:50
but who would have thought
18:51
i mean think i had people walk past here
18:53
a day
18:59
i have probably no clue
19:00
that this is the afi house right here
19:03
for you for years not just like not just
19:06
like a short stint but for years
19:09
it kind of loses my mind so the basement
19:11
obviously underneath here
19:14
probably probably a good sound concealer
19:16
though so when they were practicing you
19:18
might not even be able to hear someone
19:20
should be practicing down there right
19:21
now another up-and-coming punk band
19:24
probably having to say no
19:26
it might be some house music at this
19:27
point that's true because this is a
19:29
house it is a house
19:47
east bay hardcore
19:47
but i think them screw 32 kind of
19:49
started that whole thing
19:50
remember screw 32.
19:54
great band
19:56
yeah how's that you have a screw 32
19:57
story
19:58
oh i just remember uh seeing a fat
20:01
record screw 32. i'm right seeing an ad
20:03
for them and my old practice space
20:06
saying they were looking for a room in
20:07
the oakland music complex years ago they
20:10
probably hung out here too with the afi
20:11
guys oh i don't doubt they were all
20:13
buddies
20:14
took about a mile and a half commute
20:16
there's a bunch of broken cell phones
20:19
says please
20:20
destroy cell phones before entering i'm
20:22
not entering in there but right up here
20:24
so thankfully i get to hang onto my cell
20:26
phone i'm gonna continue walking
20:30
a little green day history
20:32
pretty much the reason i would say 99
20:36
of anyone knows the band
20:40
is because of what happened right here
20:41
in this very building
20:43
this
20:45
launched their career into the
20:46
stratosphere
20:48
the music video for long view
20:50
was filmed behind these very walls right
20:53
here and at the time the band lived in
20:56
the basement
20:57
obviously a series of apartments and did
21:00
not live up top they lived in the
21:01
basement similar to how afi
21:03
was over at the
21:05
house on the campus
21:06
but if you watch the long view video
21:09
the bathroom that they use the tray cool
21:11
sits on the toilet that was inside this
21:13
home when they're all kind of crammed in
21:15
that small bathroom also where they
21:17
would practice
21:18
is where they recorded where they were
21:20
on stage rock it out in that long view
21:22
video and when billy joe destroys the
21:24
couch and he's watching tv that was all
21:27
right inside here
21:29
just talked to one of the residents here
21:31
and he didn't even realize
21:33
like the deep history of it as well he's
21:35
wearing he's wearing a municipal waist
21:37
shirt oh yeah so i told him about the
21:38
afi here i knew about the afi but he
21:40
wasn't not familiar with the long view
21:42
you knew it was the green day house we
21:43
didn't know the long view was in there
21:44
but i'm looking at this and obviously it
21:46
was filmed with a fisheye lens as you
21:48
were just saying alex but if you look
21:49
over here
21:50
the way the angle of the wind the the
21:52
way the angle of the walls are
21:55
very easily
21:57
could have been the living room
21:59
that he was like destroying the couch
22:01
and all could have been right there had
22:02
that window covered up
22:04
because the key off point is this little
22:07
the way this kind of arches around
22:10
that's similar to how it is in the video
22:12
so probably the bathrooms it could be
22:13
the same bathroom probably yeah
22:16
obviously we can't get inside fun fact i
22:18
saw
22:19
i saw green day on the dookie tour twice
22:21
i saw them at the station in fern park
22:23
about 300 people
22:25
small small venue and
22:27
billy even said at that show hey we just
22:29
got done filming a music video for mtv
22:32
there was a lot of middle fingers a lot
22:34
of fus you're a sell out things like
22:36
that you know just in in that scene
22:38
everyone just kind of gives you you know
22:40
little jabs here and there
22:42
all in good fun no one realized that on
22:44
that same tour towards the end of the
22:46
dookie tour or maybe they extended it
22:49
5 000 people sold out at the edge
22:51
concert field so i saw the dookie tour
22:54
twice one with 300 people
22:56
you know no security stage diving stage
22:58
singing whole
23:00
you know all the whole experience and
23:02
then
23:03
different experience
23:05
on the 5000 people and now 5000 people
23:08
playing outside
23:09
they'd probably consider that a failure
23:10
because they're selling out arenas
23:13
right and left it's amazing to think
23:14
about right oh it's kind of
23:16
mind-boggling you love green day oh yeah
23:19
i love green day in fact look at this
23:22
kerplunk right here right there
23:26
i think kerplunk's probably i'd say it's
23:28
probably my favorite album songwriting
23:30
wise not recording wise duke has
23:32
definitely got more impact recording
23:34
wise i think has a lot to do with their
23:36
success and progressing and all that but
23:37
if you look at listen to songs
23:40
kerplunk 1039 smooth which
23:42
we are going to try to find something
23:43
from 1039 smooth out slappy hours
23:46
are we gonna find it today alex i think
23:48
we're going to find it you think we are
23:50
you want to give a hint on what it might
23:51
be
23:52
no
23:53
give a hint
23:55
there's something right here that could
23:56
be a hint alex
23:58
some trees there's yes
24:00
maybe it's a black and white sort of
24:02
thing album cover oh i can't give that
24:04
much an album cover from i'm just going
24:07
to say this is the album coming from
24:08
1039.50 floppy hours originally released
24:10
is 39 squeeze that's a lot to say and
24:13
then they added the two together two a
24:14
seven inch and another seven inch yeah
24:16
combined it it was on lookout records
24:20
lookout records went under and they
24:21
re-released it on reprise that's right
24:23
this is a lot getting thrown out there
24:25
that's a lot of a lot of numbers a lot
24:27
of birds a lot of numbers it's a lot of
24:28
words
24:30
and i would love to be able to go inside
24:33
and recreate
24:35
traequil sitting on the commode
24:39
i think going from living in this
24:40
basement
24:42
to being on mtv and
24:45
you know nirvana never mind
24:47
paved the way for green day dookie
24:50
so those are the two you know 91 and 94.
24:53
those are the two years that punk broke
24:55
in
24:56
the 90s yeah
24:58
that was the 90s era of punk breaking
25:01
all right as we're walking away i think
25:02
i found a better angle and i found i
25:04
think i found exactly the window
25:10
that billy was like sitting on the couch
25:10
on the other side because this window
25:12
looks more like it but look at the angle
25:14
of the
25:15
the wall over here and then the size of
25:18
this window is smaller than the one
25:20
around front and this is also
25:22
technically
25:23
in the basement
25:25
so as i pan up
25:27
look at this
25:28
i think it's that window right there
25:34
he's destroying the couch right on the
25:34
other side of that window
25:36
right there i'm gonna i'm gonna go out
25:38
100 percent i i'm guarantee
25:40
it's right there because the front
25:41
window on the other side does not it's
25:43
not as small as that
25:45
that's the window
25:55
two apartments there so you might be
25:55
right alex
25:56
that could be that that could be the the
25:58
four three and a half
26:00
we've got three levels so maybe there's
26:01
two apartments yeah we were standing
26:03
over there same building you know same
26:05
green day house green day long view
26:07
but this is it right here
26:11
dang that's cool
26:15
if i was a betting man i would say that
26:16
that that's the that's it right there
26:20
i'm putting it out in the universe i
26:21
think i i think you're right also the
26:23
closest cross streets to that house
26:27
is on
26:28
deacon
26:29
and ashby ave
26:34
just a few feet away from these cross
26:34
streets we made it another mile or two
26:36
away to
26:38
3264
26:39
adeline street
26:41
which if you ever purchased any
26:44
cassette tapes back in the day and then
26:45
cds later look a lot of the cassette
26:47
tapes i had for anything on lookout
26:49
records lots of bands
26:51
we're on that record label that i
26:52
listened to
26:54
adeline not adeline records adeline
26:55
records was also on on this road named
26:58
after this road which billy joe and his
27:00
wife started since gone defunct
27:03
but lookout records
27:05
stood right here where this pizza place
27:07
now is at 3264
27:09
the front facade has been changed and to
27:12
think of how many cassette tapes i
27:13

27:15
building
27:19
squirt gun screeching weasel queers
27:19
avail a veil oh the first avail yeah

27:33
very bizarre that this these well not
27:36
not not this bizarre but this used to be
27:40
the one and only look out records here
27:42
in berkeley and from what i can tell
27:43
adeline records never was on
27:46
you know the road called adeline he just
27:48
used it as the inspiration because he's
27:49
from this area
27:50
they even have the street sign it says
27:52
it looks like the adeline records
27:54
adeline street sign but it's adeline
27:56
records since defunct
27:58
there's some good bands on that label
27:59
mike dern had an uh his side project was
28:01

i love pinhead gunpowder
28:25
they need to get back together and do a
28:28
all right walking down telegraph avenue
28:30
now
28:31
reminds me of the ransom song they have
28:33
a song called telegraph avenue
28:35
also the newest album i believe
28:38
amoeba this is the first aviva but it
28:40
appears as if amoeba is closed today
28:42
they have the however bars being on
28:45
these windows
28:46
they must be closed on tuesdays there's
28:48
an amoeba in hollywood i used to live
28:50
really close to when i lived in
28:51
hollywood boulevard there's also one in
28:53
san francisco
28:54
and then there's also the first one here
29:01

29:32
daily city as well
29:54

29:56
you gotta find stewart because i think

30:03
i think that's how that is so we gotta
30:04
go find corn we got i want to stand on
30:06
the corner of stewart in the avenue and
30:08
also looks like
30:09
rasputin music is also closed

30:14
pretty neat little display over here
30:16
dedicated to gilman street
30:18
you know the inside of 94 gilman and all
30:20
the bands that have played there and
30:22
the whole reason they exist and all the
30:24
old flyers alex is pointing this out
30:26
when we walked from where we parked over

there was an outside video oh it's the
30:45
outside of it that's it
30:46
barrington hall these have a lot of
30:48
shows there bearings i never knew about
30:49
barrington hall originally located
30:52
nearby dwight and elsewhere now it's a
30:54
private student housing
30:56
okay this is like a whole history and
30:58
there's another one ruthie's in that's
30:59
another one okay
31:02
ruthie's in so like yeah just like a lot
31:04

31:10
agent orange there oh there it is

31:18
ivy
31:20
members of opa ivy went on to be rancid
31:22
all right walked well got back in the
31:23
car drove about a mile
31:26
found
31:27
stuart street
31:28
and the avenue
31:33
right up here
31:34
green day song off of insomniac
31:36
which came out after dookie and much
31:38
heavier and faster and the band pretty
31:40
much wrote that because a lot of the
31:42
reviews of dookie
31:43
they wanted to put something out that
31:44
was more aggressive and fast
31:47
and i love that album
31:48
insomniac
31:50
and it's hard to pick a favorite a song
31:53
off of that album
31:55
but i would put the opening bass line
31:57
that mike dern does from stuart the
32:00
avenue
32:01
i learned how to play it years ago i
32:03
just thought it was like so cool how it
32:05
just kicks right in
32:06
at the start of the song but this is
32:08
stuart stewart street right here
32:12
telegraph avenue
32:15
so freaking cool i am now standing
32:18
on the corner
32:19
of stuart
32:27
so now what happens
32:27
you feel better
32:29
i'm standing on the cornrow stewart in
32:30
the avenue but
32:37
what do i do now
32:37
i feel like i'm gonna climb sandwich
32:42
i've always wanted to stand here now i
32:42
have
32:44
now walking on those fence line
32:46
there's flowers here
32:50
this property here is
32:58
pixar the one and only pixar
32:58
not going in there going across the
33:00
street
33:01
to the rudy rudy's can't fail cafe
33:05
evidently there used to be two of these
33:07
this is the only one that's left
33:10
this is emeryville correct
33:12
in fact the emeryville
33:13
civic center is right here look at the
33:15
town hall
33:17
i'm excited we're going to maybe get a
33:18
little bite to eat over there i'm not
33:20
even sure what kind of menu they have in
33:22
here let me just
33:24
sandwiches and whatnot yeah it's like
33:26
your typical american
33:28
american food
33:30
i don't know if i've ever sat at a table
33:32
that has like you know gi joe figures
33:33
all kind of scattered across through the
33:35
front there little action figures like
33:37
it almost looks like they're underneath
33:39
underwater and here's the menu here
33:42
this has an affiliation with green day
33:43
as well didn't didn't some of the guys
33:45
in green bay help open this place or own
33:47
it for a while all right here's the
33:48
photo here of three of them standing in
33:50
front of the
33:51
rudy's campfire cafe sign out front now
33:54
we ended up ordering this appetizer of
33:55
nachos and it all showed up the same
33:57
time as the food but we got a lot of
34:00
food i did not realize that the portions
34:02
were going to be decided this is a lot
34:04
of food
34:06
all right my belly is full
34:09
place is pretty good
34:11
and i got some free stickers
34:13
and talked to the co-owner
34:15
and said the guys from green day
34:17
own the coffee oakland coffee but mike
34:20
the bass player is the only one that
34:22
co-owns
34:24
rudy's
34:28
and he said mike came in a couple weeks
34:28
ago
34:29
we've been if we were chowing down on a
34:31
meal in there here next to pixar
34:34
and mike would have walked in i think
34:35
part one of the reasons i picked up a
34:37
bass guitar
34:38
back in the day because of mike dern
34:40
he didn't directly get a hold of me and
34:42
say hey you know what adam pick up
34:44
pick up a bass guitar he might hide it
34:45
to you on stage
34:48
he may have murmured it down from a
34:50
green day show i went to or too but just
34:52
subconsciously without him knowing you
34:54
know listening to that band for so long
34:55
and always like the the style the way he
34:57
plays bass so
34:59
just a little fun fact all right we have
35:01
traversed over to another area now this
35:03
property is
35:05
expansive and when i say
35:07
expansive i mean there is a lot of
35:09
ground to cover here and a lot of these
35:11
trees
35:13
look almost exactly the same so it's
35:15
really hard to pinpoint and after doing
35:18
a little research
35:20
cannot find the precise location
35:23
but the closest after kind of driving
35:25
around in here for
35:26
quite a while thinking maybe it's over
35:30
in the distance
35:32
and what i'm referring to
35:34
is this right down here
35:36
the album cover for 1039 smooth out
35:39
slappy hours
35:40
you can see she's standing underneath
35:42
the branches of this tree
35:44
and kind of looking at the
35:46
pillar there
35:47
just trying to match that up
35:50
not a lot of info floating around the
35:52
interwebs about where this is located
36:02
someone just drove past us very quickly
36:02
which just was not expecting that in
36:04
here now this could be
36:06
a lost cause
36:08
but i've always as i first saw that
36:11
album cover
36:12
wanted to know exactly where this was
36:31
this is a pretty majestic tree looks a
36:31
lot like it
36:33
but not the spot
36:35
again
36:36
no confirmation i'm not 100 confident
36:38
we're gonna find this but
36:40
had to at least try at least put it out
36:42
there into the into the world
36:44
if we don't find it
36:45
someone else will
36:47
which would be awesome i just want to
36:48
know where the heck i don't want to know
36:49
where the heck it is and up at the top
36:51
of that hill up there is a place they
36:53
call millionaires row
36:55
where a lot of the
36:57
prominent names around town
37:00
are laid to rest
37:02
and the property just goes way over
37:04
there's just so many areas that look
37:06
exactly the same as where i'm standing
37:07
on right now another thing we're
37:09
noticing
37:10
is there's like some concrete steps
37:12
and notice almost these very unusual
37:15
little pylons here
37:17
and the angle
37:19
of them
37:20
kind of like these there's just enough
37:22
like notches and stuff like this
37:24
and these are not scattered through all
37:26
the property they're only in certain
37:27
areas
37:31
so really the key is going to be to
37:31
match up
37:32
the limbs and this has been
37:34
decades ago
37:36
so we walked from over there up to where
37:38
we're at now
37:40
so there's a tree here that looks
37:41
similar there's other trees over there
37:43
so we'll just
37:44
traverse through this area if we don't
37:46
find it
37:48
we did our best and also afi did a music
37:51
video out here for total immortal
37:59
up there towards the
37:59
millionaires row they were kind of
38:00
walking down the hill
38:11
where are you tree okay i just want to
38:11
point out this angle is really close too
38:13
but it's not it the pillar
38:16
doesn't exactly match up right in the
38:17
middle of the screen the tree the tree
38:18
behind it looks similar
38:20
there is no cherub though so like right
38:22
there in the middle of the screen if you
38:23
match it up to what i showed
38:26
not exact but that is the closest match
38:29
it's not it
38:30
but it's pretty dang close
38:33
but not it but that's got me excited for
38:35
a minute what a view from up here got
38:37
san francisco off on the horizon
38:40
and then over here
38:42
i guess that would be oakland
38:45
yeah over that way across the bay
38:48
yeah all the way at the pinnacle of this
38:50
property
38:59
i'll see you in the next video the vlog
38:59
is over
