Did anyone here actually shave, or have shaved, a word in the back of their head in the 90s?

RATM managed to sound pretty different on each album despite having a very clearly defined "sound" which is pretty impressive. Though obviously only having 3 real albums helped with that. Self-titled had a couple of moments that "don't sound like" RATM, like the pretty straightforward metal riffs on "Know Your Enemy" and the Maynard cameo as well. It sounds closer to a regular "live band" rock sound. Then Evil Empire had this weird gritty low-fi thing going on. And then BOLA was a little cleaner sounding again, but still leaning harder into the weird guitar noises and farther away from "rock" even though it's not like they were using synths or anything. It's hard to pick a favorite because they all have their strengths.

I was certain an old video game magazine had a reader-submitted photo of someone with Sonic the Hedgehog shaved and dyed into the back of his head, but I couldn't find it. What I did find, though, is this: It felt like ads like this - with the forced perspective, huge detailed heads being all IN YOUR FACE and whatnot - were everywhere for a while and I just hated them. Anyone else remember this stupid trend?

There was someone in my year at school who got his hair styled like Keith Flint in the video for "Firestarter" after that single came out (1996).

My Twitter Account posted:When their first album came out and they started doing national tours, they had a clause in their contract that promoters/venues were never allowed to mention that. That’s funny. Because I thought everyone (in 2020) already knew that because the media wouldn’t shut up about it.

I only knew because of Celebrity Deathmatch, which is its own bit of 'most 90s thing you can find'. Matches for the first episode, per Wikipedia: 1. Monica Lewinsky vs. Hillary Clinton 2. Mariah Carey vs. Jim Carrey (with Drew Carey making an appearance) 3. Tim Allen vs. Jerry Seinfeld Scanning the rest of the episodes there are a few matches here and there between people who are still relevant (like Adam Sander vs. Chris Rock, surprisingly), but mostly its 90s as gently caress (David Hasselhoff vs. John Tesh?!).

The Cameo posted:Milo from Descendents has a doctorate in molecular biology and pretty much all the albums and tours the band did from the mid-80s on up until 2016 when Milo finally went full-time with the band were done in breaks during his college, post-grad, and scientific career. Wait, so Milo goes to College was autobiographical?

Macdeo Lurjtux posted:Wait, so Milo goes to College was autobiographical? Yep! I mean, all the Descendents albums are pretty autobiographical, but that’s 100% the reference being made, as Milo had told the band just prior to recording it that, hey, he had gotten into UC San Diego and was... going to college. It was looked at as a goodbye album for him, the back of the LP reveals the whole thing is dedicated to Milo, signed by the rest of the band. But Milo liked performing with the guys too much, since it was his high school buddies/idols, so every break, he came back home and did some shows, and in a way, the band just... never stopped, only paused for years at a time.

We've kinda sorta talked about this before, but in your city/ neighborhood, who was Marilyn Manson? Where I come from he was "the kid" (never specified which one) from Mr Belvedere. I think a couple other people on here mentioned that where they were from, he was either Eddie Haskell of Leave It To Beaver fame, or Paul from The Wonder Years.

Brian Warner  I live in South Florida, so people who were old enough either saw him when he was first starting out or even saw him around Broward College. Later on those rumors, namely the Wonder Years one, came up, but rarely got traction cause him starting in the area made him pretty well known.

I want to say "the weird Italian-American kid from Doogie Howser, M.D., that wanted to be a filmmaker" because that would have been hilarious, but no, Paul from The Wonder Years. e: oh wow he was on an episode of The Cosby Mysteries

I recall Bob Dylan dunking on his son's band in interviews, right before the wallflowers evaporated from the radio. Like flat out saying they're poo poo, with no artistic value.

Six-Of-Hearts posted:I recall Bob Dylan dunking on his son's band in interviews, right before the wallflowers evaporated from the radio. Like flat out saying they're poo poo, with no artistic value. To Edna Gundersen, USA Today: GUNDERSEN: Your son Jakob has been very much in the spotlight this year. Do you worry about him? DYLAN: I'm proud of his accomplishments. He's still young, and he's come a long way in a short time. I worried about him when he started out. I just didn't want to see him get roughed up. This business can really throw you into deep water. He's had his ups and downs. What he does with the future remains to be seen, but he and his band have done rather well. In the contemporary music scene, they have got a voice to be heard. To David Gates, Newsweek: [Bob Dylan is] newly famous as the father of the Wallflowers' Jakob Dylan. "I know they've sold a ton of records,'' says Dylan, who's "superstitious" about discussing family members. "I keep hearing that they're playing arenas or whatever with the Counting the Crows group.'' Did he try to interest Jakob in old blues and hillbilly music? "Yeah, he's heard the records. He has different likes because he was born at a different time--but sure, if he wants to hear good old-timey records, they're easily available to him.'' Do we take it he'd rather not comment on the Wallflowers' music? He laughs, either at your discomfiture or his, and--honest to Pete--the phone rings. (He can't help it if he's lucky.) To Robert Hilburn, Los Angeles Times: HILBURN: Speaking of joy, what about Jakob's success with the Wallflowers? DYLAN: It's sensational what has happened to the Wallflowers. It's like one in a million or something. HILBURN: When you heard he was going to start a band, did you worry about that? Did you advise him at all? DYLAN: It was inconsequential what I thought. HILBURN: As a a father, though, were you worried about all he would have to go through, like the pain of being dropped by his label after the first album? DYLAN: I was concerned after the label dropped him and they were still involved in trying to get another record deal, but he made it on his own. If anything, his name would have held him back. I think that held him back on his first record, to tell you the truth. I think that first record would have been accepted if he wasn't who he was. They're from when they were popular, but sure he might've changed his tune after a few years.

KozmoNaut posted:Road Rash took that style to the X-treme. I loved all the Genesis games but had never seen the Sega CD version. They made some graphics choices there, yes they did. Yet the gameplay had the exact same look as the Genesis games, particularly Road Rash 3. Must have spent all their time instead on the full-motion video sequences.

I'll have you know that certain regions of the USA with certain subsets of peoples, still very much live the big shirt life. Also, you can thank everything old being new again because GEN Z caught wind of 90s fashions and have brought back a few things. Big shirts baggy pants ect ect ect
