Room 1015
Stop and look at the past. A shiny black limousine with tinted windows pulls up to 8104 Sunset Blvd. It's time to rewind the old tape with a pencil to the days when the Continental Hyatt Hotel, also known as the Riot House, was the place of legends and everyone's dream to stay there. The 70's was a decade of complete wandering for most rock bands, and Los Angeles was an inevitable stop. Flying furniture, spraying fire extinguishers, breaking beds, cracking walls. There is an uncontrollable desire to destroy everything, to turn it upside down. The Riot House shook more than once, but never collapsed. in 1972 a television set flew out of room 1015 and landed 10 stories below in the parking lot. Keith Richards and Bobby Keys - then the Stones' saxophonist - didn't think it was impressive enough. Adventure was sure to be found in every hotel room from San Francisco to Las Vegas, from Hollywood to Venice Beach. But room 1015 clearly surpassed them all.
