These women inspired and slept with the most famous men in the rock business. Whether they were away from their wives or girlfriends or steadfastly single, groupies were as much part of the rock and roll scene as the music itself, and it was there to stay.įrom gorgeous and celebrated groupie Bebe Buell, mother of Liv Tyler, to famed groupie Pamela Des Barres, they've seen it all and toured and slept with the best of them.

Lodging at fancy hotels, free alcohol, drugs, attending concerts, going on the road, meals, it was all part of the rock and roll scene and came as second nature to the bands that were constantly touring and enduring life on the road, always going to the next gig to play the show. When many groupies were brought along for the ride, they enjoyed all the perks of the lavish, free wheeling lifestyle that musicians led.
They gained notoriety for their devotion both to the music and the artists that created it. Truly in love with the music and willing to do anything to meet and connect to the band, groupies were an important part of the movement and became known simply for being around those who were famous. Legendary acts such as Cream, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, David Bowie, and more all experienced the phenomenon of the groupie movement.
