George Irish was the first HA I met when I moved from Rochester NY to the bay area. My first job was at this hole in the wall bar in Hayward. He was like a big brother to me. Always looked out for me since he knew I didn't know anybody. His murder devastated me. And his funeral was the first funeral I ever attended in my life. I cried my eyes out and other members kept turning and looking at me but I didn't care. No man had ever looked out for me without any strings attached. I loved him like a brother.
Hi George, Back in the early 1980's my father was a building inspector in NYC. He was doing his inspections near 3rd Street and saw a biker was hit by a car. My dad ran over to see what happened and he hailed a cab for the biker and told the driver to take the biker to the hospital. Vinnie asked my dad why he helped him. My dad replied because my son rides a Harley and would want someone to help him out if he got hurt. Before Vinnie got in the cab he handed my dad his card and said if you are ever down here and you need some help doing inspections knock on the clubhouse door and hold up my card. In those days the area near the clubhouse was not considered a "good" neighborhood. So whenever my father was in the neighborhood he would knock on the clubhouse door. Vinnie would come out and wave all of the bums and low-lifes away and my father would perform his inspections under Vinnie's protection.
Man I love this one. Hells Angels Forever I truly believe embodied what the Angels and their no give a Fu*K attitudes were all about. Hard partying true outlaw lifestyle. I remember first seeing Hells Angels Forever on VHS in the early 90's. Even though I came from Chicago and all the crap going on during that period Big Vinny, Sandy and the 3rd street crew in that documentary showed everyone else what the outlaw life was all about. Thanks George for doing this one.
you should look up phill cross. his book "from gypsy joker to hells angel" is one of the lesser known 81 books and i think he is still a member and is getting up there in years.
Loved your book so much i had to read it twice! Truly how i imagined what being a angel was in the 70s. One guy i would have loved to met was old man john really was bigger than life with lots of character. Much respect to you and your family!
Wow…thank You Sir for the next episode …I can hear the dinner is getting ready…shame… I could listen to those story’s all day long…Thank You again for sharing them with us…
Thanks George, your stories are always fascinating. I grew up very close to the SFV clubhouse in Chatsworth. Would run into Tiny and a lot of the guys at the little store nearby and also at the Cowboy Palace, sure you know what I’m referring to. Always thought those guys were the salt of the earth and imagined someday becoming one but met my wife very young became a union sheet metal worker and went a slightly different direction. I’ve always had a lot of admiration and respect for the club. I appreciate you and your ability to retell great stories, thank you sir. 👊🏻🇺🇸
As a biker of the younger generations man u guys are fuckin legends much much respect to all of you for what you guys created and upheld....it's a privilege to be able to actually still hear somenof these stories right from you guys 💯
I wish you did a video on I think the most interesting 81 Member. Blind Alvin of the Richmond Charter. I'm had the pleasure of getting to hang out at his house and watch him work on bikes. Irish was a customer where I worked. A true badass, but a gentleman. RIP to the both of them. Thanks George for sharing.
I worked in a club in Vancouver in the 90's the HA hung out there. I would see support shirts that read " when in doubt knock'em out." Now I know where that came from.
I saw Big Vinnie in Buffalo about 25/30 years ago. He was standing on the sidewalk in front of Tudor's Lounge with some other bikers.... but he was the only HA.
Looking at it from a different point of view away from any internal drama, which as a club member I know too well. What a brother Sandy Alexander was. Thought his close brother got rat packed and got on a plane and went all the way to the West Coast to throw down on behalf of his brother. Wow!
Love your "Gorilla", style George. This one was great for me, very familiar with NJ/NY Aliens MC, way back when. And, yeah, gotta watch those "implied" insults!! Love,,,Dubs
i grew up and rode with some members of the Aliens. they were a regional club , bronx, brooklyn, NJ and the nomads in manhattan.just like clubs back then like the Breed, warlocks. worst thing that ever happened to them jmo was they got patched over. not all went to 81 some went with the pagans. that was the end of old school clubs.
Don’t forget thee 1st HA chapter outside of California was in Lowell Mass 1966!! What a nutty place that was at the time and then what the HAs did over the next 30yrs was mind boggling.
@shadowplay-y5g I was reading sum comments, and read your,s that you rode with the Aliens my cousin who is dead JJ. Flash. He rode with the Aliens before joining the Hells Angeles, you might have known em. He got married on the boat, in the movie Hells Angeles Forever.
@@erichb4021 hi i knew who he was. i wasnt in the club. i was young 17 i hung around in the Bronx. at 18 got a bike road with my buddy and friend we went to a few party's and stuff. growing up around them great guys. my buddy had a bsa, they broke his balls called him beeza boy. best time in my life. got drafted before they patched over.
Irish was a bad mother. All of the Oakland chapter were bad asses back then literally, the oldtimers set the pace on what should be done and how to function they didn’t mess around period. Look at the rep they achieved. I use to hear stories about them when I was growing up in East Oakland.
Vinnie kicked his ass and they beat him with bats to stop him. Georgie boy is telling bullshit. HA going to kick his ass when they see him after kicking him out. All these dry snitches talking now!
Irish , used to slip out to a bar out in Richmond called the Esquire club . Him and another member Mike Lessard called there secret fishin hole . There was always a poker party after the bars closed , and Irish loved to play poker . Irish was a good natured guy and an easy guy to get to like .
Look at the way bikers talked, looked and dressed back then… and look now. Totally different. Now it looks like a bunch of super clean guys trying to have a fashion show. Old school bikers acted more free and that is what a biker is in my opinion a man that acts free and doesn’t submit to authority.
Irish doesnt look very tall in the pictures, but look at the size of his jaw, neck and forearms and hands, he's built like a brick shit house, not an average sized man.
In the 70s I remember motorcycle clubs showing up every summer at the Kanawha Valley River behind my mawmaws house and I'd sneak down and watch em having a ball while I's hiding in the weeds. It looked so fun and I wanted to be a part of that cause women were everywhere and the only vehicle's that showed up other than Harley Davidson motorcycle choppers was VW Buses or VW bugs lol..I remember my mawmaw used to call em Hell Angels..I was always correcting her but she really didn't know...I don't think there's any Hells Angels motorcycle clubs in Wva but I don't know. I do know that there's like Helping Hands on Wheels and Avengers and several other's but in the 70s it was Devils Desiples or something like that..I wanted to be in a club from 11yrs old upto the mid 90s but it never happened cause I hardly ever kept a Harley and I'd stumble into a couple clubs at blue grass festivals and rainbow gatherings in the late 70s and they were all cool and never had problems but I was beamed in on the hippie type chick's and that's how I usually spent my time just bull shitn with them cause I learned at a very young age that you just don't stumble upon several motorcycle clubs and make yourself at home nomatter where the event's were at. It's not a hard thing to do cause it's mostly called respect and it's not a hard thing to do when you're out partying trying to help yourself to other people's stuff. Not cool and I don't think it ever happened cause people actually respected one another back then..
Thankyou George. In the 60`s,I was 11 12 years old,across the alley in Venice, California were 2 H A's Venice Chapter ,would stand at the garage and watch them work on Bikes.they were friendly and talked to us kids like we mattered. What do You know about Venice Hells Angels?
Hey George, thank you for the videos, I really enjoy them, would you do a little video on the evel knievel incident, I believe it was at cow palace, ,in the video it look like the crowd was beating up a couple of angels, just wondering if you knew anything about that., thank you George!,
i want to see an interview with phill cross about the san jose gypsy joker war, san jose in the 60s, steve tausan and the slept on history of famous people from pre silicon valley san jo. phill cross has one of the coolest hells angels books because it deals with part of early history not even sonny or george whethern talks about. im kind of surprised you never mention phill cross. he was in terminal island around the same time as george and michael fransise. he started as an enemy of the angels and ended up becoming a member. talks about chateau liberte where alot of the psychadelic bands you think of sf summer of love got their start at a road house in santa cruz mountains that got burned down by local cops and pushed the hippie scene up into sf from santa cruz. he talks about the old san jose hoodlum hang outs the city tore dowm and the transition between the surf rock to british invasion and hippie music. he was in the scene 20 years before george. "from gypsy joker to hells angel" is the name of the book.
Ya. Cool shit. I'd like to hear him talk about why the HAMC 'ceded' Oregon to the GJMC. And more about the evolution of their relationship with the Dead, the Merry Pranksters and why Gut Turk split.
@@joseywailer7624 i think back then oregon was mostly logging towns and the way we think of it now came with a big hippie exodus from the bay area during vietnam.
It's crazy that nobody talks about Phil cross🎉 he did have a stroke just before they were going to do a documentary with him.. and then you just never heard about him again.. my guess is they all really like Phil a lot and that's why nobody talks about him
Hi George! My grandma used to know an Angel down in the Martinez Ca.area in the early 60s by the handle Jughead.Did u know or hear of him by any chance?
I had the pleasure of meeting Vinny when he was visiting in Cleveland. This was about 1970 or 71. He asked me what I ride... I told him a 47 Knucklehead. I asked him what he rode. He says, a Shovel stroker... 88, shake, skate, and vibrate!
The only time I got rat packed! Was when I was too drunk to ride my bike! They gave me 3 chance! I haven't drank since. That was almost 6 yrs ago! I'm too old for this shit Gus...
Vinny what a unbelievable Character ,31 yrs old to pass away , Geraldo was right 35 yr old life expectancy ,Big Vinny had flown in from NY surrounded by Oakland Members on there turf ,I am sure had the fight been on the Streets of NYC Vinny whould have had that extra adrenaline, was Vinny drunk who really knows , he was probably doing something,
Vinny died days/weeks after the fight from untreated internal injuries/bleeding from the fight ? … that’s the most common story I’ve read. I believe Irish met his end when he stepped outside a bar to fight a guy and that guy pulled a gun and shot him.
Vinnie kicked the Oakland chapters asses and was beat with baseball bats and died from internal injuries after flying back to NYC. Read Three Men Can Keep a Secret If Two of Them are Dead. It tells the story.
It's in the book 3 men can keep a secret if two are dead Hells Angels. It tells Vinnies story on page 122 he throws Irish Jerry around and the rest of the chapter beat him with baseball bats. If it's a lie Yves Lavigne told it.
George did you know Alex from Cave Creek when he moved from Oakland for Sonny real nice man I finally met Sonny in the shop buy a T-shirt for my friend. He signed my friends card, and he said son you’re not from around here with my Georgia accent I said, no sir I’m not a few lady with no club. I don’t have a bike they couldn’t have been nicer. He took me outside, draped his patch over my back, he turned to the camera and I turned away and then vice versa so cool not the sunny that everybody makes him out of me. The whole club was nice to me Alex, especially Alec had a sister in Atlanta and told me I can’t visit her we can’t go to Georgia all I could think about was well. Those bikers that left Georgia that time in the 70s going to be a member never came back I’m just kidding Sonny was building a house between Stevie Nicks and Waylon at the time, Alex said you can stay here as long as you want but the reason we can’t tell you when he’s coming. We don’t know if the FBI is coming or somebody’s coming to assassinating true story
Rip Sonny and George thanks for the true stories they love you in Sweden we’re slowing down the back of wars they were throwing grenades, etc. and you and George stopped it for your meetings. My mom is from Sweden. I’ve been there many times Guttenburg was a war.
Sunny was a great guy and Alex too. I know you are too George I was there when Sonny was building his house between Stevie Nicks and Waylon I mean I’m just saying he was still doing autographs in Greenville South Carolina and Myrtle Beach and they couldn’t tell me when he was coming back I need some more things signed and Alex said they didn’t know if they was coming to kill him or the FBI was gonna show up it wasn’t really funny but it was, nobody ever fuck with Sonny
Hey George, first of all huge fan, hey any good stories of "Animal"? I know from watching your O.C. that he wore that crazy hat and he was a stuntman who had fists like catcher mits and ge knocked out dude from JA. Anything else
George so you mean that if 2 HAs got into a fight at that one clubhouse, the guy from the outside chapter would have to fight 4 or 5 guys ? That seems pretty Fed up being as there all brothers even though different chapters
BAM BAM BIGELOW is he only BEAST from the EAST that ever was , is and will be...Nothing against anybody but even the Hells Angels did not want any piece of the Beast from Asbury Park New Jersey...
George one thing,I know I want to know the answer to this and I'm sure alot of people do but what ever happened to Sandy Alexander?! As prominent as he was?
@@maelstrom200018he got thrown out of the club bad because he owned the building in Manhattan and was charging them too much rent something like that.

Let's be clear true brotherhood ,I don't think so, more outlaw bikers are killed by their own club than by a rival club.
Vinny exemplified what a true 1 per center looked like during that Era
I could listen to George Christie talk all day.. love hearing these stories..
Great memories! Thanks for sharing!

Hells Angels Forever is a awesome movie!! I love the front door to the New York club house!! Have a nice day George!!

CJ NORSTROM WAS AWESOME. RODE ALONE, TOUGHER THAN ANY HELLS ANGEL THERES EVER BEEN.
Rough life ❤️🤙
In the background it sounds like you forgot to put the dishes away and Mrs Christie is doing all the work.
cool true stories
Rip big Vinny
George did you know Alex from Cave Creek when he moved from Oakland for Sonny real nice man I finally met Sonny in the shop buy a T-shirt for my friend. He signed my friends card, and he said son you’re not from around here with my Georgia accent I said, no sir I’m not a few lady with no club. I don’t have a bike they couldn’t have been nicer. He took me outside, draped his patch over my back, he turned to the camera and I turned away and then vice versa so cool not the sunny that everybody makes him out of me. The whole club was nice to me Alex, especially Alec had a sister in Atlanta and told me I can’t visit her we can’t go to Georgia all I could think about was well. Those bikers that left Georgia that time in the 70s going to be a member never came back I’m just kidding Sonny was building a house between Stevie Nicks and Waylon at the time, Alex said you can stay here as long as you want but the reason we can’t tell you when he’s coming. We don’t know if the FBI is coming or somebody’s coming to assassinating true story
Rip Sonny and George thanks for the true stories they love you in Sweden we’re slowing down the back of wars they were throwing grenades, etc. and you and George stopped it for your meetings. My mom is from Sweden. I’ve been there many times Guttenburg was a war.
I I know I’m long-winded George but please read this post. Please talk about the old man from Charleston HA Clubhouse.
Sunny was a great guy and Alex too. I know you are too George I was there when Sonny was building his house between Stevie Nicks and Waylon I mean I’m just saying he was still doing autographs in Greenville South Carolina and Myrtle Beach and they couldn’t tell me when he was coming back I need some more things signed and Alex said they didn’t know if they was coming to kill him or the FBI was gonna show up it wasn’t really funny but it was, nobody ever fuck with Sonny
Hey George, first of all huge fan, hey any good stories of "Animal"? I know from watching your O.C. that he wore that crazy hat and he was a stuntman who had fists like catcher mits and ge knocked out dude from JA. Anything else
George so you mean that if 2 HAs got into a fight at that one clubhouse, the guy from the outside chapter would have to fight 4 or 5 guys ? That seems pretty Fed up being as there all brothers even though different chapters
😎💪💪💪
I met Paul Casey few times... any stories on him?
Was Sandy Portuguese?
Cuban
BAM BAM BIGELOW is he only BEAST from the EAST that ever was , is and will be...Nothing against anybody but even the Hells Angels did not want any piece of the Beast from Asbury Park New Jersey...
George one thing,I know I want to know the answer to this and I'm sure alot of people do but what ever happened to Sandy Alexander?! As prominent as he was?
He died
@@diesel1586 heard that he did but as far as what happened in his life before that all those years
@@maelstrom200018he got thrown out of the club bad because he owned the building in Manhattan and was charging them too much rent something like that.
What a cool guy, I had a boss at a tow company that was always saying his name..... Who knew??!
