![<p>Photographer Steve Eichner explains: “I never knew what to expect when I walked into a club on any given night in the 1990s. Creativity ran rampant in all the clubs, and art installations were a big part of keeping things fresh and exciting. The Tunnel was especially notorious for creating outrageous and ever-changing stage sets inside its enormous, former railway tunnel-building. On this night in 1993, the club transformed into an insane asylum, with people wearing straight jackets in cages and club kids dressed as doctors and nurses roaming around handing out prescriptions. It indeed made for a crazy party.”</p>

![<p>“The VIP balcony at Club USA was known as an anything-goes zone. I was up there one night in 1993 when a publicist for the club introduced me to Scott Weiland, lead singer for Stone Temple Pilots, one of the hottest bands of that time. I was blown away because I loved their music! I had my camera, of course, and I asked him to get a shot or two. He lit up a cigarette (yes, you could smoke in clubs back then), flashed me the rock & roll devil fingers, and then totally unexpectedly grabbed the drummer Eric Kretz and — at first — they both stuck their tongues out and touched them together in like an air French kiss or some sort of tongue sword fight. Then Scott put his arm around Eric and shoved his tongue deep into Eric’s mouth, and they sucked face (made out) for like five minutes. Great visual for sure.”</p>

![<p>“In those years, I was on call 24/7 to get the shot. My beeper went off early in the morning, around 8 a.m. I called the number knowing that the Club USA’s publicist would answer. ‘I need you to get here ASAP, there’s a hip-hop group shooting a music video here, and we need photos for the newspapers.’ I grabbed my camera, got in a taxi, and when I arrived, three gorgeous ladies were on stage in skin-tight denim short shorts. It was Salt-N-Pepa shooting the video for their smash hit ‘Shoop.’ It was a hot, sexy scene, and then I heard the song’s lyrics, ‘Girls, what’s my weakness? (Men!)’ Between takes, I asked Sandra Denton, Cheryl James, and DJ Spinderella for a group photo. They were happy to pose, and that’s how I got this photograph.”</p>
