Fuzzy – ‘Flashlight’ Music Video

July 19, 2020 By the90sruled Leave a Comment

Fuzzy Flashlight Music Video

In the ’90s, there were so many bands that seemed to only have one single. That one song would quickly receive airplay on the radio for a brief period, and if they were lucky, MTV would add their video to the mix for a while. Then, as quickly as they appeared, they would vanish never to be heard from again unless you were a diehard fan who went to their concerts or continued to buy their CD’s.

One of those bands was Boston’s Fuzzy, who came out of nowhere and released a damn good song called ‘Flashlight’, and if it weren’t for the music video being featured on MTV’s 120 Minutes, you probably would have never heard of them. And, to solidify how good this song was RollingStone released its list of the 50 Best Songs of the Nineties, and ‘Flashlight’ from Fuzzy was number 50 on their list. Check out this little piece of ’90s indie rock gold from Fuzzy with ‘Flashlight’!

July 19, 2020 By the90sruled Leave a Comment

Lauryn Hill’s debut solo single ‘Doo Wop (That Thing)’ was released in 1998. The song was a huge hit worldwide, and became her first and only number one song on the Hot 100 charts. It also hit number two on the R&B charts, and was a top five hit in the UK as well.

The song won two Grammy Awards in 1999 for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance and Best R&B Song. The music video below was filmed in Manhattan’s Washington Heights in New York City, and it features two Hills singing side by side at a block party. One Hill is set in 1967 dressed in retro-styled attire, and the other Hill is present-day Hill in 1998. It was a really cool idea and made for a very entertaining music video. Enjoy!

Rage Against The Machine – ‘Guerrilla Radio’ Music Video

July 19, 2020 By the90sruled Leave a Comment

Rage Against the Machine Guerrilla Radio

Rage Against the Machine released six albums during the ’90s. The last album they released in the ’90s was The Battle of Los Angeles, which was released in 1999. The first single released was Guerrilla Radio, and it became their only song to chart on the Hot 100, peaking at #69, and it was their first top ten song on the Alt Rock charts, peaking at number six. Rage also won a Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock performance for the song.

The promo video touches upon the exploitation of garment workers, and parodies the popular late ’90s Gap commercials. These ads featured attractive young people singing songs while against a white backdrop, wearing Gap clothing. The phrase “everybody in denial” was a play on “everybody in khaki” which was a Gap TV ad campaign at the time.

Dave Grohl Calls Out Axl Rose During Nirvana’s 1992 VMA Award Performance

March 30, 2020 By the90sruled Leave a Comment

I remember watching this live when it happened in 1992. As Nirvana was finishing up their performance of Lithium during the MTV Video Music Awards, the band basically went nuts and started destroying their instruments, the speakers, and the finale was drummer Dave Grohl going up to the mic and saying, “Hi Axl, hi Axl, hi Axl, Where’s Axl?”

So, what was going on between Nirvana and Guns N’ Roses? iHeartRadio explains:

Despite Rose’s admiration for Nirvana (Rose wore a Nirvana hat in the video for “Don’t Cry”), he famously feuded with Kurt Cobain after the Nirvana front man repeatedly bashed GNR in the press. Cobain often referred to GNR as the antithesis of Nirvana, once saying “Rebellion is standing up to people like Guns N’ Roses.”

In 1992, Cobain refused an offer to open for GNR’s famous co-headlining tour with Metallica. Later in ’92, Rose got personal in return, referring to Cobain and Courtney Love as “f***in junkies,” suggesting that their daughter, Frances Bean, might be born with birth defects because of Love’s drug use. At the ’92 VMAs, members of GNR and Nirvana exchanged insults back stage.

After Nirvana performed “Lithium” that night, Dave Grohl mocked Rose by repeatedly saying “Hi, Axl” into a microphone. In any case, that was a long time ago. Any bad blood between Grohl and Rose is just history. Of course Grohl famously lent his Rock Throne to Rose when the GNR front man broke his foot during a tour.

5 Celebrities From The 90’s Who Died Too Soon

April 28, 2019 By the90sruled Leave a Comment

From drug overdoses to mysterious circumstances, here’s a look at five celebrities from the 90’s who died way too soon!

Chris Farley

Chris Farley was one of our favorite actors from the 90’s. From Saturday Night Live to movies like Tommy Boy, Farley was a comic genius! Tragically, he died on December 18, 1997 at the young age of 33 from an overdose of cocaine and morphine, with advanced atherosclerosis cited as a contributing factor to his death.

Here’s a look back at some of Farley’s funniest moments on camera:

Aaliyah

Born January 16, 1979 in New York City, Aaliyah Dana Haughton was a beautiful and talented singer, model and actress who signed a record deal with Jive Records at 12 years old. Sadly, her career was cut short at the young age of 22 on August 25, 2001 when a private plane crashed in the Bahamas killing Aaliyah and eight others. During the 90’s and early 2000’s, she scored 12 top 40 songs on the Hot 100 charts including a number one in 2000 for Try Again.

Tupac (2Pac) Shakur

Tupac Amaru Shakur was born in New York City on June 16, 1971. Many consider him to be one of the greatest rappers of all time. He’s certainly one of the greatest, if not the greatest rapper of the 90’s. Sadly, Tupac’s career was violently cut short when he was shot four times on September 7, 1996 by an unknown assailant in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas. He died six days later on September 13, 1996.

Shakur is one of the best-selling music artists of all time with over 75 million records sold worldwide. Here’s a look at his music video for California Love featuring Dr. Dre and Roger Troutman, his first number one song on the Hot 100 charts in 1996.

River Phoenix

River Phoenix first major role was playing the character Chris Chambers in 1986’s Stand By Me. Later that same year, he won the Young Artist Award for Best Young Male Superstar in Motion Pictures for his role as Charlie Fox in the movie The Mosquito Coast. In 1988 he was nominated for an Oscar and a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor for his role of Danny Pope in Running on Empty.

During the 90’s, he starred in six motion pictures, and received a lot of accolades for his role of Mikey Waters in the independent film My Own Private Idaho. Sadly, drugs cut his life short when he collapsed outside of The Viper Room on the Sunset Strip from a drug overdose. He was only 23 years old.

Brittany Murphy

Brittany Murphy appeared in numerous films and TV shows and music videos during her career. Her first break-through performance was in 1995 when she starred alongside Alicia Silverstone and Stacey Dash in Clueless. She went on to star in numerous other movies throughout the 90’s and the 2000’s. Sadly, Murphy’s life was cut short at the age of 32. Officially, the cause of death was attributed to pneumonia and severe anemia.

9 Things That Changed The World In The 90’s

April 28, 2019 By the90sruled Leave a Comment

For those of us who grew up in the 90’s, it was a decade we’ll never forget, and it was a decade that featured many things that changed the world forever. Here’s a look at 9 things that changed the world in the 90’s:

1. Grunge Rock

In the early 90’s, hair bands that had dominated the airwaves and MTV were dealt a crippling blow when grunge rock bands hit the scene. Almost overnight, Poison and Warrant’s songs and videos disappeared and were replaced with bands like Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden and perhaps the most notable grunge rock band of all time, Nirvana.

2. AOL

In the early to mid 90’s, it was all about AOL and hearing that awesome phrase, “You’ve Got Mail!” Kids today have no idea how cool it was to hear that phrase back then before the proliferation of email spam. When you heard that phrase, you couldn’t wait to see who sent you an email… but, before you could hear the infamous “You’ve Got Mail”, you had to endure what became the most gut-wrenching sound of all time, the AOL sign on dial-up tone! How many of us either yelled this or heard someone yell it at us, “Hey, get off the phone, I need to get online!!!”

3. Titanic

I can still remember watching Titanic in the theatre for the first time in 1997. The movie was one of the biggest hits of all time, and countless movies, TV shows and comedy skits have referenced both the movie and it’s characters in the years since. Not to mention all the couples who have tried to recreate the “I’m flying!” scene featuring Jack and Rose aka Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet! And, for better or worse depending on your taste in music, the soundtrack made Celine Dion a megastar!

4. Boy Bands

In the late 80’s, the New Kids on the Block and New Edition paved the way for boy bands like N’ Sync, the Backstreet Boys, Boyz II Men, Take That and Westlife to experience incredible success in the 90’s! You couldn’t turn on MTV in the 90’s without seeing a music video from one of the many boy bands. Love ’em or hate ’em, there’s no denying the influence 90’s boy bands had on the world in the 90’s!

5. Beavis and Butt-Head

Beavis and Butt-Head aired on MTV from March 8, 1993 to November 28, 1997. (14 years later, the series was revived for season eight with aired from October 27 to December 29, 2011).

Few “cartoons” have had the impact on society like Beavis and Butt-Head. From Beavis’ infatuation with “Fire! Fire!” to both of them chuckling when they hear words or phrases that could vaguely be interpreted as sexual. It was crude, rude, strange and above all pretty darn funny to most 90’s teens!

6. Beanie Babies

If you grew were a kid in the 90’s, then there’s a really good chance you had a Beanie Baby, or two or three or a whole gaggle of them! (Like many of us who either gave them away or sold them at garage sales years ago, I’m sure you’re wishing you had held on to a few of them. Today, certain Beanie Babies are worth a ton of money! Check out the screenshot below of a rare Princess Diana Beanie Baby from 1997 on sale on ebay for $25,000! (But at least shipping is free!)

7. John Madden Football

Few video games have had the impact on popular culture like John Madden Football, and in the 90’s, the game had few rivals. In 1993, Madden NFL ’94 was released, and it was the first game in the series to feature an official NFL team license. And, the next year, the NFL Players Association licensed the game, and that’s when the game really became fun. Now, you could not only choose your favorite team, but you could also choose your favorite player by name!

8. The Macarena

In 1995, Los Del Rio released Macarena (Bayside Boys Mix) as a single, and it quickly became an international hit topping the charts in almost every country in the world. It finished at #2 on Billboards decade-end charts for the 90’s, and #8 on Billboards Hot 100 all-time charts. It was also ranked the #1 greatest one-hit wonder of all time by VH1 in 2002.

But, more than the song, the Macarena dance move has become a staple at dance parties and wedding receptions worldwide ever since. This 90’s song and dance truly changed the world forever!

9. Chris Farley

When we think of 90’s, we think of Chris Farley and all the hilarious characters he played. Two of our all time favorite characters were Matt Foley, Motivational Speaker and of course the lovable idiot Tommy Boy! I’ve watched Farley’s ‘Van Down By The River’ SNL skit a million times, and it still makes me laugh every time. And, I still quote lines from Tommy Boy all the time! Tragically, Farley was found dead in his apartment by his brother John on December 18, 1997. RIP Chris…
