LiveFrom199X

I was there. 90s tours. Album releases. Moments before they blew up. The stories behind the decade.

@20th_Centurygal Guns N’ Roses. Dust n’ Bones Tour 1993. Brian May opened.

Your first concert… who did you see?

@Quamclips lol. Lil’ Cease cheesin at the end 😂

That time BIGGIE threw a water bottle at his DJ for repeatedly messing up his sound.

DMX - Ruff Ryders’ Anthem / Slippin Woodstock ‘99 - Rome, NY. Over 200,000 people in the field. DMX had just become the first rapper ever to debut two albums at No 1 in the same year. The entire crowd barking “Stop… Drop…” One of the most electric moments of Woodstock ’99, and DMX owned it.

Oakland, CA Henry J. Kaiser Auditorium Primus / Helmet / Porch New Year’s Eve 1994 → 1995. Primus were coming off Pork Soda. Helmet were touring behind Betty. Two completely different sounds on the same stage. The Bay Area ringing in 1995.

@alIisonchains So. Many. Vibes.

the stage being set up on the beach the sunset and the waves crashing behind them everything about this performance is so beautiful and cinematic

who’s active right now?

@20th_Centurygal Jerry Cantrell

Let’s talk underrated guitarists…🎸 In your opinion, who deserves more credit?

Despite the lineup change, it still debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard 200.

Mötley Crüe — Mötley Crüe (1994) The John Corabi era. Vince Neil was out. The sound got heavier. Produced by Bob Rock (Metallica’s Black Album). The band even discussed changing their name during this time. A darker Crüe for the grunge era. 32 years ago today.

No Doubt — “DJs” (Sublime cover) Live From the Tragic Kingdom No Doubt covering Long Beach legends. Two bands from the same Southern California scene. Bradley Nowell had died almost a year earlier. Orange County meets Long Beach. 90s ska family.

What do you think of when you think of this record?

The black-and-white cover art was illustrated by Layne Staley, based on a photograph of himself and his ex-fiancée, Demri Lara Parrott.

Mad Season — Above (1995) Layne Staley Mike McCready Barrett Martin John Baker Saunders A Seattle supergroup born in the middle of the grunge era. Still one of the darkest, most beautiful records to come out of Seattle. Released 31 years ago today.

@NIN_Archive But doesn’t it make you feel better!!

hi guys look at the fit today

@Manlike_Solz @Nas Facts. And Nas is still doing it.

Real talk: Jay-Z never dropped an album better than Nas. Facts or cap?

@80sBank Best opener in hip hop.

Inspectah Deck had the duty of going first...

@danglingsince97 @OchelliEffect So many underrated bands from the 90s.

Helmet might be the most underrated band of the 90s. Riffs ahead of their time. “Die young is far too boring these days” 2 years before Kurt killed himself.

Orgy — “Stitches” (1998) Family Values Tour New Orleans Jonathan Davis discovered the band and brought them onto the tour. Their cover of “Blue Monday” was all over MTV. "Stitches" was just starting to get rotation. Industrial synths. Nu-metal crowds. Family Values chaos.
