Brown & blond-haired duos from the 80s & 90s

Growing up in the 1980's and 1990's, we always noticed a common theme in many of the movies and tv shows we watched back then: That the one main dude would have brown hair, and the other main dude would have blond hair. Well, we're gonna get right to it so if you don't believe us then you best take a look below!!!

Gilbert Lowell / Lewis Skolnick

Lewis & Gilbert

"Revenge of the Nerds" (1984)

Bill S. Preston, Esq. / Ted Logan

Bill & Ted

"Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" (1989)

Wayne Campbell / Garth Algar

Butt-Head / Beavis

We know that there are a bunch more brown and blond-headed dudez from the 80's and 90's but can't think of any more right now. So everyone out there...be sure to let us know which ones we forgot so we can add them to the list!!

90210 girls flashing their boobies! (It's a 2RadicalDudez Exclusive!!)

Here is a video clip from the TV show "Beverly Hills, 90210" that we re-edited for your viewing pleasure. It shows three girls flashing their boobs! Need we say more???


Ok, we need to say more. This episode originally aired on May 25, 1994 and it was part of a two-part season finale.

The boobs featured here belong to:

Brenda Walsh (aka Shannen Doherty)
Donna Martin (aka Tori Spelling)
Celeste Lundy (aka Jennifer Grant)

Red, white and blue! Who knew "Beverly Hills, 90210" would be so patriotic!


(PS: As you can see, red flashes with the most attitude. Red also has the most bounce.)

Dave Grohl's 1st public appearance after Kurt Cobain's death

June 4, 1994 was Dave Grohl's first public appearance & performance since the death of fellow Nirvana band member Kurt Cobain. It was at MTV's 1994 Movie Awards and he played drums for the band "Backbeat" which performed the songs on the soundtrack for the 1994 British-German Beatles film "Backbeat".

I still remember sitting next to my VCR and waiting for "Backbeat" to come on and perform and being really excited about Dave Grohl's return. I'm glad that we recorded this and we hope you're glad too!!

The band consisted of some of our favorite performers of that era which included:

Dave Pirner (Soul Asylum): vocals
Greg Dulli (The Afghan Whigs): vocals
Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth): guitar
Don Fleming (Gumball): guitar
Mike Mills (R.E.M.): bass guitar
Dave Grohl (Nirvana): drums
Henry Rollins (Rollins Band): vocals on "Love Me Tender" (not in this video)

The songs they played were "Money (That's What I Want)" and "Long Tall Sally" (both are not Beatles songs).

This shit is fucking rare and it's very cool to see some of the "main players of the 90's" get together and play live. It's nice to see them just fucking rock! Once in a lifetime performance pretty much. This won't happen again.....

April 5, 1994: The day the music died (and no one knew it)

 

17 years ago today Kurt Cobain ended his life after putting a shotgun bullet through his head at his Seattle home. Just think about how no one would realize, until 3 days later, that one of the most influential musicians had left us.

It has been raining all day here. The gods must be crying...

Kurt Cobain's suicide: One year later "MTV News: The Week in Rock"

We recorded this on April 8, 1995 from "MTV News: The Week in Rock". They did a segment on how people were feeling one year after Nirvana's frontman Kurt Cobain killed himself.

They interviewed people such as David Fricke (Music Editor of Rolling Stone), Matthew Sweet, Sean "Puffy" Combs, Joe Sib from Wax, and some Nirvana fans in Seattle, New York, and Memphis.

This segment also includes clips from the vigil held on April 10, 1994 in Seattle and how "In Utero", "Nevermind", and "Unplugged in New York" were all currently on Billboard's Top 200 Albums chart.

Kurt Loder talks about Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl's "new" band The Foo Fighters and how, in the next few days, they'll be launching a debut tour in Tempe, AZ and opening up for Mike Watt. Loder also adds how Nirvana bassist Christ Novoselic still plays music but has yet to join a new band. It closes out with live footage of Nirvana playing "Lithium".

Luckily, we recorded more videos during the hours and days of this tragic event which we'll be posting soon.......

RIP Kurt

Kurt Cobain's suicide: One year later "Extra"

Wow. How the hell has it been 17 years. Well, anyway.....


We recorded this gossip TV show "Extra" on April 8, 1995 since it had a segment on how Nirvana fans were feeling one year after Kurt Cobain committed suicide by shooting himself in the head.

John Norris (who was with MTV when Kurt originally killed himself) was working as a correspondent with "Extra" and he takes us to a (yes you guessed it...to a Seattle coffeehouse) to see how people were coping one year after Kurt Cobain's death.

He spoke to 16-year-olds who seemed jaded. Weren't we all jaded in 1995?

John Norris also showed the park bench near Kurt Cobain's home which fans have turned into a memorial site. Have you been there yet?

At the end of the segment, Cobain's wife, Courtney Love is mentioned since she "put together the soundtrack" of 'Tank Girl' and was making her acting debut in 'Feeling Minnesota' (which is untrue since she was in 'Sid and Nancy' back in 1986).

"Extra" also mentioned how "Life after Kurt has been successful for his widow Courtney Love." Is that true???

More Kurt Cobain suicide era videos will be coming soon......

RIP Kurt

Where's Kurt Cobain?

There are only 2 more days till the anniversary of when Kurt Cobain blew his brains out back in April 1994. It happened 17 years ago!!!!

Some people don't believe Kurt killed himself. Meet Tom Grant. He is a private investigator and former detective with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. According to Grant, he was hired by Courtney Love on April 3, 1994 to find Kurt after he left a drug rehab center in Marnina Del Rey, California.

Where did Kurt go??? What did he do??? Some pretty interesting stuff happened according to Tom Grant!

Here is an excerpt from his website:

"On April 3, 1994, I was hired by Courtney Love, (who was in Los Angeles at the time), to locate her husband after he left a drug rehab center in Marina Del Rey, California. Ms. Love stayed in Los Angeles while I flew to Seattle to search for Cobain with his best friend Dylan Carlson. In fact, Carlson and I had been in the Cobain residence the night before Kurt's body was discovered in the room above the garage."

"The police immediately concluded "suicide." I wasn't so sure. Neither was Rosemary Carroll, Courtney Love's own entertainment attorney. Ms. Carroll was also a close friend to both Courtney and Kurt."

"We both knew something was wrong here--terribly wrong."

Was it an inside job?? Just kidding. We think Kurt killed himself but you be the judge! Visit Tom Grant's site for more info: http://www.cobaincase.com/

"Death of an Icon" ABC's take on Kurt Cobain's suicide

We recorded this on April 18, 1994. It's from an old ABC news show called "Day One" and it was reporting on Kurt Cobain's suicide which happened 10 days earlier. Cobain, of course, was the frontman of Nirvana who ended his life with a self-inflicted shotgun wound to the head. His body was found on April 8, 1994.

They named the segment "Death of an Icon" and they actually did a pretty decent job on covering Kurt Cobain's life, death, and the days that followed. They interviewed a bunch of fans, critics, writers, and musicians during those sad days. And they kind of summed up who that generation was and how they were coping. Damn, I miss those days....

Luckily, we recorded more videos during the hours and days of this tragic event which we'll be posting soon.......

RIP Kurt

(April 8, 1994) MTV News early coverage of Kurt Cobain's suicide

We recorded this on April 8, 1994 just hours after the news broke that Nirvana's lead singer Kurt Cobain was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.

This news report is pretty interesting since a lot of the details of his death were still unconfirmed. Also, this was before the contents of Kurt's suicide note was released publicly. (Two days later, a pre-recorded message from Courtney Love reading Kurt Cobain's final words were broadcast at the Seattle Center.)

Yeah, so this is very soon after his body was first discovered. People were still in shock. I know we were.

It was a very sad day indeed. We're so happy that we recorded more videos during the hours and days of this tragic event which we'll be posting soon.......

RIP Kurt

MIDNIGHT MAYHEM: Run, Forrest! Run!!

You can do anything, Forrest

Flash your friends with Nickelodeon's Flash Screen!

Here is a Nickelodeon Flash Screen commercial from 1994. This toy looks so awesome and it's perfect for sleepovers! You basically have to stand in front of the screen which can attach to any door. Then you or your friend must hold the "zapper" and let it flash. It will leave a shadow of whatever is in front of the screen. And it gets even cooler since at the end of the zapper is a glowing pen which you can use to alter the shadow however you like! Also, it's a nice touch how the light is green - just like Nickelodeon's famous slime!

Now that's rad!!

What isn't rad is that this toy was discontinued due to the fact that it was possibly causing kids to have seizures. These toys are worth a lot of money now so go check your attics for one!!
