Peter Gatien Video Interview On 'Limelight,' Michael Alig, Angel Melendez 

NYC was never the same with out you PG....

I think there needs a movie about him.

@ulnterview @Peter Gatien I pretty much lived in the Limelight, Tunnel, and Palladium. All Petters clubs were great! Peter was always a charming man, at least to myself. I never did drugs, nor did I ever see or hear him ask me to do anything. I remember when not touring, I brought Layne Stanly and many when on downtime to Peters clubs. We all had a great time in Limelight GNR, and down the line, we all loved the place so did Kenue, who played with his band and countless others. I agree they also set Peter up regarding so many things it's sick. I was always dressed well to the nines and still do, sometimes dressed club kid style (miss you, Jimmy Webb; may he rest in peace, good old Trash And Vidvill; then he opened a store a few years before his death from cancer called I NEED MORE!) Thanks to everyone in Rock. He was the godfather of Fashion of Rockers, Club Kids, Punks, etc. From living around the world and touring with certain people sometimes, attending the best festival to date, Sweden Rock. I noticed one country and city that desperately Needs Peter! Hey Peter, the best and most needed place in the world that needs that type of club is "Oslo, Norway." They have been begging me to use my contacts; there are so many hidden talented people, and your scene is most defiant. We miss you dearly in N.Y.C.; lastly, N.Y.C. also ruined Bleecker street music history street gone! We need all our clubs back. That was an insane question to ask regarding Micheal Alig. I saw two sides of him, and it's just a fact of said story, but he did have a certain air about him. He was either pleasant or downright spoiled, and he wanted what he wanted and was going to do or get it any way he could, the sad part of addiction manipulation. Was I shocked to learn about Angles' murderer? Yes and no. Many of us miss you in New York Peter

NYC legend! The absolute man! I had some of the best nights of my life at The Limelight! Clubs in NYC are shit now....absoltue shit...everyone fucked up & tried to blame it on Gatien & the city, state & feds just had a stick up their ass & were obsessed with trying to get him!

I am really beside my self with admiration for the club owners who have the "vision' that they do. Especially, when they are good at what they do and are able to work with the, wild, misunderstood, often hedonistic and debaucherous artists they are forced to work with to create night club magic. Pete was a true visionary, he picked up where Ian Scharager and Paul Rubell left off and saw a spot where young people who were being ushered into the nightlife, were changing and had different, sometimes outlandish needs. And I think adult partying always is searching for a new high in shock value and society is constantly changing in what young people are thrilled by. Bravo. You did a stellar job. And how were you supposed to have the hottest clubs in NYC Manhattan, and have them be drug free? Come on. Every club owner and DJ realizes the importance of drugs in a night club and they play towards it. It is, after all, the audiences party.

Call Me Crazy.... But I had a major crush on Peter Gatien when I was only 14 years old. Yes, I was underage at the LimeLight in 1992....lol, great fucking times. I had high aspirations.... I was goo goo for the mysterious older man with the eye patch!!!! 😚😚😚😚😚 you are still amazing Mr. Gatien!!!

This man was legendary during his time.

NYC misses you bro. You left and so did the fun.

This poor guy got railroaded and abused and prosecuted and kicked out of the country just because he was a successful businessman and some dumb kids did drugs in his clubs. Damn shame, man. Damn shame.

I was arrested in limelight during raid

NYC legend !!!did you think how much money drug dealers made a night while you stood on the that balcony?!!!!

Ya know... Ya know... Ya know... Ya know... Ya know... Ya know... ya know... Ya know... Ya know... Ya know... Ya know...

“Mary Jo Blige” ...lol...

is this the guy with an eyepatch from party monster?

Peter try to kikit to me one night at the limelight( disco 2000) I told him I was trans n he gave me drink tickets 🤪 thnks Peter being trans at the limelight was glitzier than being trans in 2019 gooood figure

I think both of you are shady as hell.

His cooking shows are great, rip

Seems like this guy did a lot of drugs himself

Good honest

yo!

MARY JO BLIGE!

Everyone up and moved to berlin, it's a similar vibe to nyc in the late 80's -90's.

The rhythm and style of his speaking sounds like Micheal Alig.

Seen him at the Tunnel 98

In The Clubscene you have to be so careful and stay on top of your Business. You are not Ten Feet Tall and Bulletproof although you may think you are. Steve Rubell (RIP) and Ian Schrager who previously owned Studio 54 found that out the hard way. Ian came back in Hotels, Steve sadly died of AIDS related illnesses in 1989 and so many patrons over the year have also died, if not of AIDS but natural causes and other circumstances.

I would of loved to have lived in New York when the Club Kids movement was going on I know it all turned into SHIT at the end like they say that good things always come to an end I think me and Michael Alig and James St James and DJ Kioki would have been friends there will never be such a crazy scene like that ever things are just to sensitive these days I hope all parties are doing well at this time HELL AWAITS DARKNESS IS THE LIGHT 🔥🔥🔥

I tried to watch this vid but the number of times this man says "you know" and the way he says it just drove me crazy i had to stop watching...omg....he mumbles and says you know you know you know ....

Genius 🥳🥳🥳🥳💋💋💋💋😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰 : The Messiah of Cosmopolitan Nightlife in the 20th Century 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻🕊🦋🐞

I went there after angle died. It way the highlight of my life. Drugs are not worth doing anymore.

Hebrews 9:27 “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:” King James Version (KJV) Deuteronomy 22:5 KJV "The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God." Genesis 1:27 KJV "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." 2 Timothy 3:1-7 KJV This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, *without natural affection* , trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Acts 3:19 KJV "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;" Luke 13:5 “I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.” King James Version (KJV) 1 John 1:9 KJV "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” King James Version (KJV) John 3:3 “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” King James Version (KJV)

Really shitty what New York did to him.

R.I.P. Michael Alig

what moscow club was that??!?!?!?! gazgolder?????

93 to 2006 door of limelight closed in my face...never heard hardcore hardstyle or thunderdome artists either...

I always felt Peter was really hung out to dry. simply because he was a mature white male. You did good, mate. i hate NY too

War on drugs? Newsflash!! They’re winning.

A dawg we need em bring me the whole nine trey Took the city 🌆 in my own crime raid invading clubs with brazy bloods Tell peter gatien wassup Back to the saga where i got killed Its like one part of life was killled for real - jim jones Song: Thugs cry

What was done to this man was the height of immorality. Karens Gone Wild.

POS New York politicians and Giuliani give Peter such a raw deal! This man is a legend! NYC will never be the same without Peter! Bring this man back!!!

This was 2 years ago. Michael is dead. Is this guy?

They got him when he was vulnerable, he was an easy target

This guy gave a lot of young adults the drugs he speaks of. N He made money off of them to 👍👍

As much as I loved my club days... the responsible, mature side of me appreciates the Guilliani's who thought their way was "holier than thou." Perhaps if Guilliani would've cleaned up house sooner, the Angels, the Christinas & the Gitsies would all be alive today. Fuck a club, LIFE IS MORE PRECIOUS.

lol

Mary JO Blige tho..

I was there at the tunnel definitely was not going to the fruity Limelight that place was disgusting and so was sound Factory

I bartended there one night. Never went back.

I'm sure you had no idea about the drugs in your club. Uh huh ok.

Junior Vasquez was wayyyyy over rated. His productions were horrible.

So you must be the spinner Gatien how did you meet Michael aling how do you know him because I have the documentary or should you or that and. Michael says that both of you looks very similar Anna same but on the service you’re both so different but there is some more similarities of you and him Is it possible that you can respond to this and how did you start working with him

Michael Alig & James ST. James murdered Angel
