Uncle at Nintendo posted:lol if yours didn't have a curse word on it. I remember seeing one girl in gym class before we went to our separate gyms wearing a bootleg Simpsons shirt with Maggie sucking Bart while he explains to Marge that "she lost her pacifier". I'm not sure if anyone caught that. Bootleg shirts are like the epitome of the '90s. It's the biggest thing I remember from that time before we started hearing about stuff like "IP" and even Disney going after day care centers and cake shops sounded so unusual those days. I think now they're limited runs on Etsy or Custom Ink. They even did the cross-franchise merging then, instead it was Simpsons and Homie 'Da Clown from In Living Color and not Dr. Who meets My Little Pony.

These things never worked that great. But static tv is better than no tv when you get grounded all the time!

tater_salad posted:Oh man I forgot about this song.. Henry Rollins is playing Vanilla Ice in that video if you did not know! 3rd Bass were great. Even Pete Nice had a decent solo album. I think the reference to the stolen loop was that Vanilla Ice didn't have permission. 3rd Bass at least cleared the sample, and it wasn't like the entirety of Sledgehammer like Under Pressure was. Young Freud posted:I remember seeing one girl in gym class before we went to our separate gyms wearing a bootleg Simpsons shirt with Maggie sucking Bart while he explains to Marge that "she lost her pacifier". I'm not sure if anyone caught that. Yeah bootleg AND vulgar t shirts were huge around here too. There was a spot that sold them all: Aqueduct Racetrack in Queens, NY. That's all that was there when I was a kid. Rows and rows and rows of black Bart Simpson and Hugo Boss t shirts where you could see the embroidery connecting each letter, not separating the stitching at all. Though I haven't lived in New York for a few years now, my friends back home tell me that race track is beautiful now with a casino. I should prop up a makeshift stand and sell some fake Fila sneakers the next time I'm there. Fake sneakers were actually a thing too, amazingly. It was usually just those shoes that it looks like old people wear to the beach but they'd slap a Fila logo on it.

They were a walking joke but that beat is amazing. Fun fact: they were put out by a guy named Joe Nicolo. A year earlier, House of Pain sent him the demo tape of "Jump Around" and passed on the group. And sure enough, a year later, the Kriss Kross quazi-ripoff comes out. This is why at the end of "Jump Around", Everlast says "this is dedicated to Joe 'The Biter' Nicolo. Get the bozak, punk!"

I likee that nostalgia got Kris Kross back together a few years back. Except one of them suddenly had enough money to buy some heroin and died.

I really do constantly wonder about artists and bands that no one has heard from in decades. Did they just get regular jobs? Isn't that such an awkward job interview? Sadly even artists who went platinum weren't exactly rolling in dough if you can believe it. Forget about gold and lower. It's depressing.

Sadly even artists who went platinum weren't exactly rolling in dough if you can believe it. Forget about gold and lower. It's depressing. I was big in to hair metal just like any other middle class white kid from the suburbs. A few years ago I wondered the same thing and started looking people up in Wikipedia. As you know 95% of those bands just dissolved once the Seattle scene became popular. Some of them own software companies (there are lots of musicians in IT for some reason), or turned to producing and writing music. Kip Winger, for example, composes classical music. Some took their money and just dropped off the face of the Earth. Some turned to teaching at schools like Berklee College of Music. Some however did just end up taking whatever job they could. I seem to remember MTV doing a "Where are they now" for metal bands and tracked down the guitar player for Kix who had a job putting ads up on billboards. Some of the bands kept playing small clubs but may only have 1 or 2 original members left. In cases like Queensryche and Great White, the singers were fired/left the band and toured separately which resulted in many law suites. The nostalgia circuit can also be a good payoff. Remember the early 80s group Foreigner? They have like 1 member left and the rest is made up hair metal guys. http://rocklahoma.com/ does pretty well too.

Sadly even artists who went platinum weren't exactly rolling in dough if you can believe it. Forget about gold and lower. It's depressing. A lot of bands have day jobs, even ones that do go on international tours and have albums with labels. It's really only a livable profession if the record labels decide that you're going to be a "big thing." Also, if you want to see how truly Spinal Tap things can get, everyone should watch "Anvil: The Story of Anvil."

Stories from him, and a few other randos I met here and there before I moved away, basically informed me that Geoff Tate was a huge dick, and everyone hated him.

And he made his wife their manager and put his step daughter in charge or merchandise. That is one of the most Spinal Tap things you can do.

never forget that in the late 90s "skate" apparel was actually considered fashionable to some. JNCO jeans were the epitome of that movement.

No, you see! Vanilla Ice's song had an extra bass beat that wasn't originally in Under Pressure! TOTALLY ORIGINAL SONG DO NOT STEAL OR SUE!!! But let's not get ahead of ourselves here. Pop Goes the Weasel is pretty much the entirety of Sledgehammer with some smaller Who, J.B.'s and Stevie Wonder samples thrown in. Still a good song, though.

KennyLoggins posted:who had one of these bad boys? I had one, and not the bullshit watered down mark 2 version either. A previous poster mentioned hurting a kid with one and I did too. He was running away and I nailed him in the back, causing him to fall forward and break a finger. They redesigned them because poo poo like this was happening all the time. So far as I know the CPS 2000 was the most powerful water gun to ever exist and now they sell on ebay for hundreds. The tank was a full gallon but a fully charged shot put out 1/4 gallon of water in a couple of seconds. These things made you the thermonuclear weapon of the back yard. Of course mom eventually tossed mine and now I'm 30 contemplating dropping $200 on a loving squirt gun. Oh and JNCO jeans were awesome. gently caress you mom, of course I need to fit a full sized skateboard in my back pocket.

Man, we were entertained by some dumb rear end poo poo in the 90s. Skip-It? Moon Shoes? That one thing you'd stick a water balloon into, and then pull apart two ropes to launch it at your opponent and hope the water balloon pops before he can send it back? Pogo Balls? Jesus, gently caress.
