Phanatic posted:A lot of the people making it had a background that was very different than what was described. Dr. Dre went to a suburban high school. Ice Cube went to college in Arizona and studied architectural drafting. Chuck D was studying graphic design (which he has a B.F.A. in) at Adelphi when he met Flav. Kurtis Blow was a communications student at Nyack. Common went to a private high school and then Florida A&M to study business administration. Tupac studied jazz and ballet at a magnet school in Baltimore. The guys in De La Soul went to high school in Amityville, which is about as suburban as you can get. Another great 90's classic movie, CB4, was basically a parody of some of these 'hard' 90's rappers.

I forgot that Frank Black released some good stuff in the 90s solo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJ2qi9KfEZ8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2zb_iZC6nI Which I cannot post without posting Breeders https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxvkI9MTQw4 Though at the time I had no idea who the Pixies were so, I was in for a surprise.

I don't know what reminded me of these, but the TV specials in the 90s moved from just celebs your parents knew talking about each other to AMAZING SECRETS REVEALED!, which the first is obviously Alien Autopsy. But there was this one Breaking the Magician's Code https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPj2hFc9XQw And of course Exposed - Pro Wrestlings Greatest Secrets https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znhP2tsrx-s I liked how after the second aired, the next Raw, Mick Foley said "now that Pro Wrestlings Greatest Secrets have been exposed, I am unbeatable!!!"

I forgot how much I adore this video. It's also 90s as gently caress. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-MroGCKDcM Some 90s stuff I spied: super damaged platinum blonde hair, pigtail buns, the cars on the street at the beginning, neon colored interiors for fast food places with matching uniforms, the yellow smiley face watch, old ladies wearing visors and fanny packs

Cacator posted:I remember when he took it off and revealed his identity at the end, everybody went "who?" Yeah I remember that being a really interesting show about how magic tricks are done. Then having exactly that reaction. I'd never heard of him even a single time before that and I was the type that if a magic show came on TV you'd bet your rear end I was watching it. Though I also remember them making a huge deal out of OH NOES!!! REVEALING SECRETS!!! DON'T WATCH THIS IF YOU LIKE MAGIC BECAUSE IT WILL RUIN IT!!!!!! as if it was some edgy thing they were doing. Because apparently you couldn't just like buy a book on magic tricks and either get a description of them or just figure them out on your own.

I used to spend hours practicing the AiC unplugged on my guitar I love that album to this day Between that, the Crow, and Fantastic Planet by Failure there were more than a few albums I could set to play and just zone out listening which just isn't a thing that happens anymore (because I'm old and set in my ways I'm sure)

Alice in Chains Unplugged starts off really strong and is pretty amazing throughout but it's noticeable by the half way point that Layne was really not... well. He takes off his sunglasses and he looks half dead.

It's an impressive performance when you realize he was basically ready to tip over and the rest of the band wasn't even sure he'd be there. It's also probably the last thing he ever really did of significance with the band. He recorded two songs for a box set type thing afterwards, but to give you an idea of how bad things got for him, when the band went on Rockline (which used to a fairly popular syndicated show that hipped me to a lot of stuff and probably deserves it's own post from someone more knowledgeable) to promote it, he ended up calling into the show and it clearly surprised the rest of the band and the host. I guess it could have been planned but given how incredibly hosed up his life got it's totally plausible. Apparently when they found him, it was "Rookie officer in the corner puking his guts out" bad, guy's injection arm had gone gangrenous. He had a hell of a singing voice and was apparently really kind according to a lot of Seattle peers, his story was really sad. His mom had plenty to say about the ghouls who hung around Layne once he got famous in the excellent book Grunge is Dead by Greg Prato. Kurt Cobain had a similar issue. I know Mark Arm (Mudhoney, and a friend of Kurt's) says he wishes that when Kurt asked Mark how he got clean, he wished he'd have said "You have to take a break from all of this, and you have to ditch your junkie wife, too." Maybe unfair to Courtney, but I kinda get it. El Gallinero Gros has a new favorite as of 04:14 on Jun 19, 2018 |

I don't think The Crow was as popular as expected when it released in theaters and around where I lived it took about a year or so for it start growing a larger cult popularity, and by the late 90s it was that entire South Park joke of, "I'm dressing as The Crow for Halloween" brought to life. I do want to say that The Crow HAS been largely forgotten, I think, by a lot of modern audiences because the Heath Ledger Joker has supplanted it in the minds of a lot of audiences. Granted, not the same characters, but there are some shared elements between the characters and even the actors that played them.

Its been forgotten, probably because lovely country is pretty much forgotten, but its amazing how Garth Brooks ruled the 90s if you were living in a boring suburban life. They even broadcast a concert on NBC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-f5_AKfy9U of the 10 best selling albums of the 90s, 3 of them are Garth Brooks albums. Shania Twain had more crossover success, and honestly, when someone says that they hate country, they're thinking of stuff like this. The New Country that popped up in the mid 90s. It's been discussed earlier, that after Grunge took over and drowned hair metal and most other rock in a shallow puddle, the producers and song writers that were so important in making those bands that ruled in the late 80s and early 90s moved to Nashville and helped develop a new crop of country singers that had a pop sensibility for crossover success. I dislike country because that which makes it country i do not find enjoyable to listen to, so before someone starts going "oh you just have to listen to REAL country", they can save their breath.

I'm actually not sure if I solidly remember any Garth Brooks songs from the 90s, despite my main radio station being 105.1 Orlando (the hits station that did weekly 80s days). I've been a little obsessed with this Deli Creeps song. The album is from 2001, but I believe it's made up of content that they'd been playing for years by that point. It was Buckethead's old band before he became an almost exclusive solo artist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4F-vR_Y0lA

I've mentioned the song, "Gone Country" before. It's a song that I'm still surprised is from 1994 because I would have assumed, not really paying attention to country in the 90s, that it was a song written about 2000-2010 after a long time of the industry starting to sound a lot more like other genres..

One thing I think that was positive in the 90s that it became okay to listen to different genres of music during the decade. I certianly remember it being weird if you liked metal and rap, or techno and grunge, you could easily be alienated from sociali groups if you didn't listen to the right stuff, but as the decade wore on, it became less important about what you listened to, became more important who you listened to. Maybe my high school was more cliqueish?

Speaking of Buckethead, it's easy to forget just how long he's been playing guitar. This is still one of his concert staples and the album came out in 1994. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GFtkPJU1WE The album has vocals from Iggy Pop and Bill Moseley (who is quite a nice guy to work with according to an acquaintance who did a film with him).

Babylon Astronaut posted:Their manager was watching from backstage, bawling his eyes out because he couldn't believe Lane could do it. What isn't obvious about that performance was that it took over 3 hours to record. The DVD has if not an uncut version a lot more of it; I haven't watched it in a long time and don't know where mine is but I know there was more stuff that isn't on the CD in between songs I can literally remember where I was when I found out he died; I was in a book store in college and someone offhandedly mentioned they'd heard about it before they came over
