twistedmentat posted: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.

chitoryu12 posted:He was dead for two weeks when he was found. He was a decomposing 85-pound skeleton. The only reason anyone went to see if he was okay was because his accountant noticed that he hadn't withdrawn any money to buy drugs for a couple of weeks, so he called Staley's former manager, and she called his mother, who called the police. The dude was already hosed up by the time of the MTV Unplugged show, but then when his girlfriend died a few months after that he just got worse.

JediTalentAgent posted: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 agree. I think The Crow was really just popular among edgy teens who were too young to actually buy their own tickets, plus it had a pretty iconic for the 90's soundtrack. fast cars loose anus posted:What the gently caress is up with how some people's youtube links embed the video and some others' don't; do I have a wrong setting somewhere?

Late response re: 90’s action flicks but I like to think Face-Off, Con-Air, and The Rock are in the same universe and if you watch them in the order I listed it all works. If you just take The Rock as being “some time in the future” and Connery is an older Cage it really works. dialhforhero has a new favorite as of 13:23 on Jun 19, 2018 |

El Gallinero Gros posted: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. I still remember the day Layne Staley died like it was yesterday. Me and my friend Paul were making fun of the spanish kids with velcro shoes in 7th grade shop

Apparently quite a few of the songs took several takes to do and its kind of obvious in that the session doesnt really flow well.. and well Layne is just so zonked out. Despite being a colossal Alice in Chains fan, I just cant listen to the unplugged session, it just kind of hurts to hear Layne barely hold it together. Doesn't help that in contrast, Nirvana unplugged is one of the greatest live recordings ever done (all one take as well) and really is Nirvana's best "album" by an honest long shot. I can listen through that show on a road trip without any hassle, its just that good.

I graduated HS in 2006, and AIM was still the hotness. Myspace was on its way out and Facebook still required a .edu email address. Youtube was just becoming a thing. Most of our plans were made on awkward phone keyboards or through AIM. High school ruled for me. I got to see all my friends everyday. My parents gave me a rinky-dink Suzuki Samurai to roll around in. I had to pay for my own gas, beer, and weed. I managed a pool and basically just cruised through school earning B's.

Iron Crowned posted:Anyway here's a contribution: Here's some fuckin' 90s. The school I graduated from would have an annual big music concert, it was always hyped up and eagerly awaited. First year, the lineup was Dropkick Murphys, The Amazing Royal Crowns (back when they could still legally call themselves that), Bim Skala Bim, and Mighty Mighty Bosstones. So that places it square in like, what, 1998? Right around the time of the swing revival and the peak of third-wave ska. Show was amazing. The following year? Better Than Ezra. So few tickets were sold that they had to cancel the show. Busta Rhymes was the replacement act. Show was amazing. Way better than Better Than Ezra.

I don't know, if it wasn't for their recent popularity as a kids' show I would say the most 90's ska band was The Aquabats. Reel Big Fish comes in close second though.
