Not a memoir for the faint of heart.

This is rock and roll stripped to the bone. Sex, drugs, chaos, and survival behind the Sunset Strip’s most notorious stages.

For more than a decade, Jason “JD” DeCosta lived inside the madness of Hollywood’s music scene. Not as an observer, but as the guy holding it together when everything went sideways.

A signed major-label musician turned production manager, and eventually general manager, JD worked on both sides of the stage at legendary venues like The Roxy Theatre, Whisky a Go Go, and The Viper Room. No PR spin. No cleaned-up legends. Just what actually happened backstage.

From unforgettable nights with Amy Winehouse, Adele, Marilyn Manson, Courtney Love and Paris Hilton, Ozzy Osbourne, Prince, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Scott Weiland, Chris Cornell, Chester Bennington, Mike Tyson, Snoop Dogg, and dozens more, Backstage Pass rips open the truth behind Hollywood’s wildest years.

Inside, you will step into the madness:

Live-venue riots, neo-Nazi punks, and nights where survival mattered more than music

Illegal raves and secret after-hours parties that quietly funded the scene

The porn actresses JD knew when they were young and rising, and the tragic paths many of them later took

Mental collapse, near-miss record deals, broken bands, and the long road back

Prince’s Cloud Guitar, the Nicholson Room at On the Rox, and the elite partying above The Roxy

JD did not just work backstage.

He lived there. And eventually, he ran it.

But Backstage Pass is not just about the stars.

It is about survival.

Raw, darkly funny, and brutally honest, Backstage Pass exposes the real cost of chasing fame and living fast. It is Hunter S. Thompson meets Scar Tissue. A confessional, no-filter ride through Hollywood’s unglamorous underbelly.

If you have ever wondered what really happens when the doors close and the lights go down, this is your all-access pass.

Buckle up.
