WHILE THE GO GO'S WEREN'T THE FIRST ALL GIRL GROUP, THEY WERE THE FIRST TO REALLY HAVE COMMERCIAL SUCCESS. THEY WERE A FUN BAND EVEN WHEN THEY WERE A MESS PLAYING THE BASEMENT MASQUE CLUB, AND IT WAS EXCITING WHEN THEY PLAYED THE WHISKEY A GO GO. I KNEW THEY WERE GOING TO MAKE IT. AND THEY DID. THEY MADE IT SO BIG THEY BECAME A "BEHIND THE MUSIC" BAND. NOTORIOUS FOR MAKING THE GUYS BLUSH. HERE'S IN EXCERPTS IS THE DEMISE OF THE GO GO'S.

"I HAD SEX AT THE MASQUE, EVERYBODY HAD SEX AT THE MASQUE. YOU JUST DID. IT WAS GREAT! EVERYBODY WAS MAKING OUT WITH EACH OTHER IN THE BATHROOMS. LOTS OF GIRLS WITH GIRLS. EVERYBODY WAS ON ACID"

"I DID END UP BEING LIKE THE TOTAL BLACKSHEEP IN MY FAMILY BUT IT'S REALLY THRU NO FAULT OF MY PARENTS"

"WE WERE LIVING ON 2.5 POUNDS A DAY. STEALING PEOPLES MILK OFF PEOPLES PORCHES. DRINKING COUGH SYRUP CAUSE WE COULD'NT AFFORD BEER" GINA SCHOCK (ON THE GO GO'S FIRST TOUR AS OPENING ACT IN ENGLAND)

"WE ALWAYS SAID IF IT WASN'T FUN WE WOULDN'T DO IT, AND IT STARTED BECOMING REALLY NOT FUN AND WE END UP BREAKING UP"
CHARLOTTE CAFFEY

TO GET FAMOUS AND THE UNBEARABLE PRESSURE OF BEING RICH AND FAMOUS IS JUST TOO MUCH. I MEAN IT JUST SOUNDS SO STUPID. I JUST WANT TO SMACK MYSELF FOR EVEN SAYING IT... BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW ELES TO SAY IT. THATS WHAT HAPPENED AND WE STARTED FREAKING OUT"
JANE WIEDLIN

"I REMEMBER TRYING TO HIDE I WAS HIGH ON HEROIN BY BALANCING IT OUT. LIKE I WOULD TAKE SOME, MY PUPILS WOULD CONSTRICT AND THEN I WOULD TAKE SOMETHING ELSE LIKE COCAINE TO MAKE THEM LARGER"
CHARLOTTE CAFFEY

"WE STARTED OUT THIS GROUP, US AGAINST THE WORLD. COMPLETELEY UNITED, SOLID, YEAH! YOU KNOW SISTA'S. AND THEN WE GET FAMOUS AND WE TOTALLY LOOSE THAT US AGAINST THE WORLD"
JANE

"I MEAN WE WERE LIKE TWISTED, CRAZY, DRUG ADDICT, SEX FIENDS. BUT WE WERE CUTE AND BUBBLY TOO AND THATS WHAT PEOPLE RESPONDED TOO"
JANE

"THIS IS HOW BAD THINGS GOT BY 1984. CHARLOTTE GOT
THROWN OUT OF OZZY OSBOURNE'S DRESSING ROOM. THAT PRETTY MUCH SUMS UP THE HEIGHT OF OUR DRUG INTAKE"
GINA SCHOCK

"THE IDEA OF BEING WHAT WE REALLY WERE, WHICH WAS
GUZZLING, FOUL MOUTHED, ANYTHING FOR A GOOD TIME GIRLS. I DON'T THINK PEOPLE WANTED THAT FROM US" KATHY VALENTINE

"THERE WERE FIGHTS. BIG FIGHTS... PHYSICAL, VERBAL"
CHARLOTTE CAFFEY

"IT'S SO SAD TO THINK THAT HOW GREAT THE BEGINNING
YEARS WERE AND HOW UGLY IT ENDED UP GETTING."
JANE WIEDLIN

"I REMEMBER THE MOMENT I TRIED HEROIN, AND I THOUGHT
THIS IS THE WAY I WANT TO FEEL FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE."
CHARLOTTE CAFFEY

"I THINK THE LYRICS TO HEAD OVER HEELS SAYS IT ALL
ACTUALLY FOR THAT WHOLE PERIOD. AND JUST ALOT OF
CONFUSION, AND EVERYBODY KNOWNIG IT WAS PROBLEY THE BEGINNING OF THE END."
BELINDA CARLISLE

"YEAH! LOVE IT!! EVERYTHINGS GREAT! WE'RE BETTER THAN EVER! THIS ALBUMS THE BEST ALBUM WE EVER MADE. YOU KNOW THE BULLSHIT THAT YOU JUST SAY. WHAT ELES YOU GONNA SAY. IT'S HARD TO GET OUT THERE EVERY NIGHT AND PRETEND I WAS LIKE A HAPPY GO GO WHEN I HATING IT, HATING THEM, HATING MYSELF, FEELING GUILTY, FEELING LIKE I GOTTA GET OUTTA HERE!"
JANE WIEDLIN

"IT WAS TERRIBLE. ALOT OF SCREAMIN' AND HOLLERIN'"
