Keith Richards Throws TV with Bobby Keys Over Hotel Balcony

The Continental Hyatt House — aka Riot House — so nicknamed for the hair-raising antics of out-of-control rockers. This is where Keith Richards threw a TV off his 11th-floor balcony in 1975, Jim Morrison hung from a window by his fingertips and Axl Rose tossed steaks to crowds of adoring fans gathered outside on Sunset Strip. One reason the hotel is unrecognizable since its refurb is that the balconies are gone, replaced by glassed-in den areas, lest a new generation of entertainers gets any rowdy ideas. But, touchingly, Hyatt, which still operates the property, has paid tribute to the hotels hell-raising heritage in the hotels RH (Riot House) restaurant, which still feeds a modern-day rocker or two.
