Today, Whisky a Go Go mainly attracts up and coming bands. “It has been recognized as one of the most influential and important musical venues in the world.” The auctioneer said prior to the sale: “Performing on its infamous stage is one of the true rites of passage in the world of rock ‘n’ roll and it is credited with having launched the careers of countless bands including The Doors, Frank Zappa, Buffalo Springfield, Van Halen, Motley Crue, and Guns N' Roses. Many leading punk outfits passed through in the 70s, and the top heavy metal groups of the 80s were also often to be seen there.
