4.9/5 (10679 ratings)

Description:Behind the curtain. Beyond the myth.For decades, Jason “JD” DeCosta lived the madness of Hollywood’s Sunset Strip on both sides of the stage. A signed major-label musician turned stage and production manager, JD ran the chaos behind the curtain at the Strip’s most iconic venues: The Roxy, Whisky a Go Go, and The Viper Room.No PR spin. No nostalgia. Just the raw truth of what really went down backstage. Sex, drugs, ambition, collapse, and survival inside rock & roll’s most notorious rooms. This is not a memoir for the faint of heart. It’s rock & roll stripped to the bone, told with a dark sense of humor and zero filters.From unforgettable nights with Amy Winehouse, Adele, Marilyn Manson, Ozzy, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Prince, Scott Weiland, Chris Cornell, Chester Bennington, Mike Tyson, Snoop Dogg, Adam Levine, Courtney Love, Paris Hilton, and dozens more, Backstage Pass rips open the truth behind Hollywood’s wildest decades.For more than ten years, JD ran production at The Roxy Theatre, Whisky a Go Go, and other legendary Sunset Strip venues, the beating heart of rock & roll excess. He didn’t just work backstage. He lived there. What went on behind those doors wasn’t nostalgia. It was resurrection.Inside, you’ll step into neo-Nazi punk scenes and live-venue riots, the porn world and the women JD knew from their first shoots to their tragic ends, and the days he spent locked inside a mental institution trying to claw his way back to health. You’ll follow him through illegal raves and secret after-hours parties that funded his musical life, to the moment he tore through Eruption on Prince’s legendary Cloud Guitar, and into the fabled Nicholson Room at On the Rox, where Hollywood’s elite partied above The Roxy until dawn.But Backstage Pass isn’t just about the stars. It’s about survival. JD lived a double life as a signed musician on stage and a production manager behind the scenes. From near-miss record deals and broken bands to watching friends and idols spiral into tragedy, this is the story of a man caught between the spotlight and the shadows.Raw, darkly funny, and brutally honest, Backstage Pass exposes the real cost of chasing fame and living fast. It’s Hunter S. Thompson meets Scar Tissue, a confessional, no-filter ride through Hollywood’s unglamorous and unforgettable underbelly.If you’ve ever wondered what really happens when the doors close and the lights go down, this is your all-access pass.Buckle up.
