Barely 30 seconds in and Pamela Des Barres has not so much name-dropped as chucked her diary on the table. I compliment the author of I’m With the Band – one of the all-time classic rock’n’roll memoirs – on her ornate necklace, and she says it used to belong to Psycho actor Janet Leigh. When I ask if she still has the jewellery gifted to her by Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page, she replies, bereft: “No, it was stolen, by a kleptomaniac married to one of the Beach Boys.”
Then, as we scan the menu in the rapidly busying Friday night dining room of an in-crowd Hollywood hotel, I idly enquire as to her dietary habits. “I haven’t eaten red meat for 45 years. I went with Don Johnson, one of my dudes,” she says of the then-future star of Miami Vice, “to the first vegetarian restaurant in LA. And I saw on the back of the menu how we get the red meat. And I was so appalled that I stopped that day.”
I’m With the Band, the classic confessional of Des Barres’s sexual and romantic escapades with a cacophony of rock stars, is republished in a 30th anniversary edition this month. In bracing detail, the woman born Pamela Miller in Reseda, California, details her high jinks on the Sunset Strip of late-60s and early-70s Los Angeles.
Today’s distribution landscape for concert films, rock-docs, and music-themed movies isn’t what it was just five years ago. But most distributors and sales agents act like millennials still buy DVDs. Contact us if you’re interested in getting your music movies off the shelf, and in front of new audiences.
Ok, I’m pushing 70 and I’m doing pretty well. I was thinking earlier today, when I couldn’t sleep – look at this stuff I’m still doing! It’s pretty amazing, when I remember what I tried to imagine myself as at 70, it certainly wasn’t this. I’m very single and I’d like to meet someone who can deal with me. It takes a strong guy, really, someone pretty fearless.
The things that happen in I’m With The Band aren’t ‘now’, and people don’t quite understand that. I wanted to be there. And so people have got quite bored with my answers when they ask about consent and #MeToo, because they’re looking for some kind of new scandal. And it wasn’t like that for me. Someone the other day pointed out about Noel Redding leaving me downstairs – well, these things happen! He forgot, he was so stoned he forgot I was even down there. But, of course because I was young I took it very personally. I didn’t hold back in the book, I don’t hide disappointment. Everybody in this world has relationships that fall apart.

You have a lot on your plate—and most labels and managers don’t specialize in every single aspect of the music business, anyway. Not to mention that a fair amount of today’s artists (emerging and established) no longer have traditional label relationships anymore. LocoDistro provides an unique, strategically based service that supplements what you have with what you need. Contact us if you want to grow your music business. We can help.
MICK Jagger has got “big stones” in his pants. A former groupie has lifted the lid on her sex romps with him.
“We made love for hours. I was dizzy. Mick personifies sex.”
Pamela, 69, who has also had flings with Jimmy Page, Don Johnson and Woody Allen as well as the late Keith Moon and Jim Morrison, has revealed all in a memoir called I’m With The Band.
It is now set to be turned into a movie.
She also told how girls still write to her asking how to meet idols.
Pamela said: “I get e-mails from young girls who are like ‘How can I get near Jimmy Page?’
“They are 17. And he is 60 years older but it does not matter to them.”
