- A special edition of MTV's 120 Minutes dedicated to the 10th anniversary of the show that is featuring some of the most memorable live performances of the first decade of this legendary show.
Not to mention that this video was uploaded on the 30th anniversary of the first episode of 120 Minutes which aired on March 10th, 1986
I don't own anything related to this video.
This taping of the show belongs to one kind person who recorded it and shared it on the Internet. - Hudba
Most people don’t realize ‘120 Minutes’ is still on the air in 2022. It’s on another network (VH1 Classic), there are no VJs or guest hosts (or guests for that matter), and it’s been reformatted as a greatest alternative/college radio hits of 1980s-2000s.
This show was the incidental soundtrack for millions of teenagers who knew they were different. Now we’re adults, and if you’re here, reading this, hello. we’re comrades-in-nostalgia.
Yeah I catch that occasionally. But I really wish they would just show old episodes. But I realize copyright law prevents this. So I have to source my nostalgia elsewhere
I'm 25 so I missed this era by quite a bit, but there's plenty of us "not normal" kids in the next generation, we're all comrades waving the black flag.
Just as the generation before us got to see Zeppelin, Sabbath, and Queen grow into world changing superstars, we got to go see bad brains, Soundgarden, the Melvins, Fugazi, Jane’s Addiction, and even White Zombie the same way, on their way up, the heydays, and while I’ll never get to see Sabbath in America in 1970 ever again, you younger gen missed Chris Cornell achieving Godlike statues, but here we are getting older, and the joys we had embracing Zeppelin and Sabbath a decade or more after their apex, can be embraced by you with Nothing’s Shocking, Siamese Dream, and Psalm 69, just like we worshipped Houses of the Holy and Vol. 4.
Lint is that as time elapses, none of us really has a gain or loss or truly missed something not offset with another thing our elders missed out on more recently. Gearhead who died by 2000 and lived and breathed Hemi Chargers and Cobra Jet Mustangs, with roughly 400hp, would have sent us straight to the looney bin if we told them in their last days that we would be able to buy a factory warranties, brand new, 800hp American full sized, 120” wheelbase sedan that could eclipse 200mph, and it would cost less than $100,000, PLUS, we’d have portable phones the size of our hands that could help us find out the answers to almost any question you could dream of, besides of course, who killed JR Ewing, why do rockstars commit suicide, and why did Republic as become the opposite of what they seemed to have stood for, while Democrats aimlessly played damage control full time, while simultaneously committing similar offenses as the party which they so often condemned. But we now know that the horse
Es carriage did indeed replace the horse when the naysayers against the automobile at the time dwarfed the naysayers against EV cars today. The more things change, the more things stay somewhat similar but slightly different. Those that don’t learn from history, are darned if they do, darned if they don’t.
SALUD!
1 - It doesn't have Matt Pinfield? Not 120 Minutes
2 - "It's been reformatted"... Most people don't realize it's still on the air because it clearly isn't. I could name my bear "120 Minutes" and that doesn't mean "120 Minutes" shits in the woods. I was driving through Texas, so I thought I'd stop off at Paris but I couldn't find no Louvre Museum. What a rip off.
It's hard to explain the feeling you would get when this show would come on. It was just a special time in history which will never be replicated
…and then they made Henry announce Oasis.
@@mm9773Henry is a corporate shill
I remember when we got cable and I could not wait for Sunday night so I could watch 120. Apart from Headbangers Ball, it was the only show worth watching. I miss it terribly as it was a part of my youth. I don’t even remember the last time I watched mtv, it sucks so bad.
I lived in a small southern town. This was the inky way I hear about new music. I discovered so many new bands because I heard them on 120 Minutes

henry rolins.....back in the 90s when you seen a dude with no shoes on and a bunch of tattoos you knew he was fkn crazy
I'm a native Korean. I always listened to these music on U.S. military television and radio Eagle FM while enjoying PC games in the 90s. I was just a boy and had fantasies about these music. It's same through my earphones when I was walking or riding a bicycle on the street. But none of them will have ever visited Korea for a performance. so It's amazing to hear the same song here in Korea far from the U.S. and feel similar to you. Thanks for Vids! 90's Forever! and my memories Forever!
I'm a 40 year old man, I can smell the 90s
Me too i just turned 40. These were some good times.
im 48 and i still can smell the 90s as well ... except maybe when i smell burt toast for no reason ... ;)
So i think you remember nothing?!?..... Ok maybe a little taste after fresh puke.... Could i permit, i think.... Skoal girls and boys
I’m 39 i miss watching rap and metal videos and rock some jazz
Movies at 3 am hbo
Do you remember dog eat dog, no fronts?

Really great song even nowadays....
00:50 Oasis - "Supersonic"
05:29 Rollins Band - "Liar"
13:21 Green Day - "Chump"
15:58 Live - "Selling The Drama" (Acoustic Version)
20:49 Bush - "Comedown"
26:20 Concrete Blonde - "Everybody Knows" (Acoustic Version)
32:40 Nirvana - "Drain You"
36:19 Violent Femmes - "Blister In the Sun"
40:06 Alanis Morissette - "Hand In My Pocket"
What a blast from the past.. Back when MTV was good! I miss the 90's.
Me too. So so much.
Sure as hell beats the hell on earth this planet is quickly turning into nowadays. 🤷🏻♂️
It was even better in the 80s, when it was shockingly new, and bands could get famous for crap songs 'cuz they had a great video.
I can't believe somebody trusted Henry to do this live and contain his contempt for some of these bands, haha. He did pretty good, outside of the DRIPPING sarcasm when talking about Live and Bush. It was cool to see him shout out Concrete Blonde, they were a great band.
Rollins was more entertaining than most of these performances, but that should be expected from me since Sabbath is my number 1 band and Rollins Band (both lineups) my number 2.
I love and respect Henry, but he can play the game with the very best of them.
Proof that the best way to play the game is to seem that you ain't playing the game.
The crux of punk.
god damn this is 90's
its almost like a weird but logical extension of the 60s and 70s, and then taking the worst parts of the 80s and giving them polish
This is when MTV was good.
Kento Of Hard Rock when mtv was.
It was even better before this... as much as I hate to say it, Gen X... our cynicism killed MTV.
@@CaalamusTube What you talking about? Gen X was out of youth culture by 2005 when MTV took its plummet.
Reading comprehension... get some!
The cause & effect is pretty simple. Gen X grew up on MTv... then we became the execs that turned it into empty v!
Also, 2005? I'm at the tale end of Gen X & I was well & thoroughly disenchanted with it by 1999!!
Fuck what it became! A sham/e!
Except for Rollins Band, Violent Femmes, and maybe Concrete Blonde these were all pretty mainstream bands. 120 Minutes really did push some raw stuff but this video doesn't really show that.
watching henry's slow descent into madness is the best part abt this video
Sure, if you find people with personality disorders funny. I mean, if you're a sociopath, that makes perfect sense.
@@le_th_ huh
Having to listen to green day, oasis and bush will do that to a man…
@@FirstnameLastname-mb2ek 3 great bands
@@alfiegaishauser5326 I agree for the most part, but they're also three bands that seem hand-picked to enrage Henry Rollins
Headbangers ball, 120 mins, Alternative Nation and Beavis and Butthead were the best things to come from Mtv.
I liked Aeon Flux too.
You forgot Liquid Television.
what about The State? lots of alums from that sketch comedy show are still around...and please do not forget Liam Lynch's "Sifl & Olly" puppet sketch comedy show, I know my then gf & wife of 23 yrs haven't...so dang funny
Can't forget liquid television. it was where we introduced to Aeon Flux. She died in every episode if my memory serves me correctly. Here in the Denver PBS we had something similar to 120 Minutes called Teltunes. Also bring me tons of Ren and Stimpy.
Also AMP
I love how it looks like someone has a word with Rollins during the first ad break telling him to be more enthusiastic
They had to have no knowledge of Henry Rollins at all to not know that would just make him be sarcastically enthusiastic.
I still remember the first time I heard Liar. Wow, that was a lifetime ago, & I played the hell out of that tape.
This was when MTV was called Music Television
I genuinely feel bad for kids these days who will never know how amazing it was to have something as foundational as MTV
MTV is one the very causes of this failed generation, when they left music behind and started investing in stupidity
MTV in its full form only lasted less than 20 years. That means that plentiful of youth grew up without MTV and they turned out fine.
I would say it's the other way around.
Gladly my experience with MTV can accumulate to few years with plenty of years pause in between. Plenty of idiotic shows before and after my childhood so collectively each generation had some garbage to look at enough to bad influence or simply toxic content something you turn away from anyway if have common sense.
I mean watching or better say listening to this video alone is proof that even this contains some things that are garbage. Some of it is good. Yelling into a microphone or mumbling words is not singing ... playing three notes in a loop is not music ... these people should be DJs or something instead of having those instruments only to play 3 chords and 3 notes in repeat ... with that said I can say that you are blinded by nostalgia or whatever you suffer from.
But the worst was when they aired "reality shows" and completely cut music content. Which I have no clue what year that would be but gotta be mid 00's least.
I know by that time my cable provider didn't had ANY MTV at all and I am glad for it. And never had it ever since, which is probably more then 20 years by now.
That's ok...they were spared of having to witness MTV become the "Ridiculousness" Network...😊😊😊😊😊😊
So youre saying that you don't think pregnant teen mothers are great entertainment?
I was a big Concrete Blonde fan in the 90's and this performance was powerful enough to hook me.
Certainly one of the most underappreciated bands of the era, still love listening to Johnette belt it out.
I was 17 in 1996 and even though I was less experienced, more naive, and I guess more stupid, I wish I could relive those days.
I was 28 through most of '96 and I was inexperienced, naive, and stupid
The musicians on the video were pretty much just like you. That's why they were making music.
I was 16/17 in 1996. All I cared about was keeping my car clean and having the loudest radio.
I was also 17 in April 96. I would gladly take it all back, except for the going back to high school part!
@@engident do you remember that Ben folds 5 song everyone loved? 😆
2023. First time I listen to Rollins Band. Born in '77. Wow....
who knew you could fit the best 120 minutes into just 44 minutes
The secret is that they compressed the 120 minutes.
Hearing Rollins say the word "dookie" was life changing
I went down a rabbit hole of old MTV and Kennedy and awesome videos and I had to stop I started legit getting depressed!!!!! Nothing like growing up in the 90’s and early 2000.anybody has a time machine I’ll pay!!!!!!!!
Rollins, Concrete Blonde and Nirvana. Wooooooowwwww. I remember missing Nirvana play in my city and thinking “I’ll catch them next time.” 6 months later Kurt was gone. :(
thats rough!
Yes, you are among many who thought, I can't make it this time, but he's always going to come to (insert name of city...NYC, in my case) to play....and then *dead*. Ah, to be that young, naive, and short-sighted about life again.
That’s what happened to me too, I was going to see them in 1995 as the previous summer when they came to town I was just a wee bit too young to join my cousins but they said they’re only getting better and I can go next year. And then Kurt died. Shucks.
same they played in Salem Oregon right before he died and i skipped it. I was was way more in to punk
Same here. I was so excited to finally see them live at Lollapalooza 1994... :(
Never was a fan of Oasis back in the 90s but, holy cow, they freaking nailed it there.
They sure did, when their guitarist bonehead comes in at 1:15 .. his guitar sound was always so heavy
noLuckyStrike09 bonehead... hahahaha, exactly. I never remembered them having such a heavy sound. Also, watching 120 now I am reminded how much crap music was out there. We tend to conveniently and selectively forget about that.
Agree agree agree!!! Oasis
The "next" Beatles
Their first album is a great, great rock'n'roll record..!
I love how Henry sarcastically introduces performances done by bands he did not like at the time.
BUSH!! WHAT A BAND!! .. lol just a hint of sarcasm I think 😂
morons lol czcams.com/video/2_NR1l6QrCc/video.html
The 90’s could have done away with the Rollins Band- No TALENT AT ALL!!! Man those 90’s record companies really thought anyone that can form a band and wear flannels could sell records!!!
@NotSnarl He isn't Black flags best singer if you ask me but Poser?!?! haha ok.
davidmreyes77 this is the 90s , the decade of irony. After a while no one really knew when or if somebody was serious or no. You barely knew yourself what you actually liked or meant
As a kid I just thought of "Liar" as another metal song but it's a really deep representation of a part of reality.
Rollins ghosts an awesome radio show these days, playing records, tapes and CDs from his own collection. Just imagine how awesome his collection of demos must be!
Anywhere to hear it on the internet?
This was the golden era, not to forget to mention the headbangers ball!
Henry's sarcasm is wonderful.
😂😂😂 He knows he kinda sold out by being there lamoo he says how humiliating it is before the last commercial.
@@Positive_Tea Yeah it's certainly funny to watch.
This was my decade! Best times.
Shout out to the legendary Taylor Hawkins playing drums for Alanis. RIP king.
Cool to see that!
I was just asking myself, "Is that Taylor Hawkins?"
I had no idea he was the Drummer for Alanis Morissette. And I even have that album in my CD collection. Lol.
Sad that he'd still be playing if he didn't get the jab.
@@pureblood3388safe and effective
@@davidoverstreet6900 ha, you're young
The Violent Femmes was one of the best live shows I’ve ever seen. Great performers.
I remember back in the early Newgrounds Portal days, Brian Beaton of Slitfinger Productions loved them and put Blister in the Sun in his "Scrotum the Puppy" video. He raved about the band so I checked 'em out. He was right.
What a golden age the 90s were
Honestly it was!
So glad to have grew up in that era
Johnette was the total package. What a voice.
Gorgeous in every way. Dated my fair share of artsy, troubled brunettes back in the 90s, but never managed to re-create anything like THIS.
She is the other World.
I wish I had a chance to live through the 90s again.
The best show MTV ever had.
I remember this. I used to record all of this kind of stuff onto a tape back then. I wish I could find those tapes..
Concrete Blonde performance 🎭 was on another level. My god can she sing. Didn’t see that coming. The rest were great.
Johnette Napolitano. Incredible. I saw it coming.
@@charliedillon1400 everybody knows....
I was still in high school. The good old days. Everything was great back then. Honestly, Id make like a circus seal to go back to that time and start over.
Yea me too. Me too.
This is the true Meaning of MTV... I’ve watched the Show since Day 1...!!
90's will be the best decade when it comes to music, that's it.
The 1990's spiritual revolution occurred right about this time...... late 1994 to early 1995. The BEST OF times, in so many ways, in the history of the world!! Do you still remember the mysterious, inexplicable thrill and sense of excitement In the air, and the myriad of ways that this amplified spirituality was expressed on so many levels?
I could not afford cable TV back then, so these videos are priceless for me these days. It means even more now than they would have then, anyway! Lol.
Violent Femmes - "Blister In the Sun" was ahead of its time because that song was already 10 years old when they performed it at 36:19
They were such a wimpy act
@@GuyOnTheInternet53, I don't even know what this means. If you're judging them by one unplugged MTV performance, you don't know The Femmes at all.
@@bwhee it means wimpy
So you get the point.
Concrete Blond's rendition of "Everybody Knows" is awsome, such a powerful voice and just required a great acoustic guitarist.
man some serious 90's nostalgia there. Miss those days.
I used to love watching these when I was just 8 to 11 years old. Big reason why I bought Dookie and Sixteen Stone as a couple of the first CDs in my collection. I remember thinking "What the fuck is this guy's problem? Every time I see this Rollins guy he always looks like he's irritated and wants to leave" back before I knew Black Flag and about the infamous Henry Rollins. This is a nostalgia trip.
nobody talks about Live anymore. . very influential band in my life. Granted their first 2 albums were their greatest
possibly one of the most underrated bands ever...
I loved them. Funny, but I haven't thought about them in years. Concrete Blonde hasn't crossed my mind either. We need to get those reaction channels to start reacting to them.
Apparently the singer was a bit of a nut, but still great music
@@jeremyc9593 nah, I met him a few times..was always a nice stand up guy. But of course I don't know him really well.
Concrete Blonde is a criminally underrated band, especially Johnette Napolitano. That woman just oozes talent.
It oozed cringe to me then and it still does now tbh
Johnette was the fucking bomb...
120 minutes, headbanger's ball, & beavis & butthead were my go to weekend shows as a teen in the 90s. I miss it.
Johnette Napolitano tearing it up as always... That voice is unmistakable and so powerful 👏👏👏 it's such a shame to see and say she is unappreciated or underrated...but it's so true.
I remember when this aired and saw some of the original shows these performances came from. This show was like this feast with all the bands I liked from what was then called College Rock and later became known as Alternative. The day this show aired my family was in the process of moving to a new house. I’m glad there are still young bands who are finding inspiration from this era, which would be late 80s to the mid 90s underground music, which to me I liken to the seminal bands of the 60s.
Everybody from year 0 to the end of the time will found that this era is great and amongst the best in musical.
oh man, I'm 19 y/o again, bring back the 90s!!
Rollins Band - Liar - anthem of my teenage years.
The good ol’ days. You just don’t know how good you got it until it’s gone unfortunately 😢
Someone should write a song about that !
It's funny to see Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins in the same show as drummers under different band
I like how Rollins stands like a good boy, top heavy, little legs
Henry Rollins and their Liar. I had no cable tv, so I had to rely on VHS tape with the video. Amazing!
I remember most of these but was shocked at Concrete Blonde absolutely killing it. Not my normal cuppa but decades on and I can still get a kick..very cool.
maybe i'm biased since I was a teenager in the 90's but man what an awesome time!
Ah Christ, this just made me miss MTV so badly.
This video makes me feel both old and youth all at once.
The memories. What a great time, the last great decade.
@Fernando Cunha Nah, it sucked. It all started to go downhill in '98.
That exact moment when you are officially old.
Oasis looks like 5 different versions of Mr. Bean in this first video hahahah
hahahahahahahahaha
😭🤣😭🤣😭🤣😭🤣
Crazy fact: in England they are considered handsome
I agree but they lacked the energy totally. I would have rather seen five Mr beans rocking out on their instruments.
Maybe you should get some glasses idiot
Henry looks like a wholesome fellow with his tucked shirt.
Book. Judge. Cover.
Yeah, something like that.
My generation was killing it. So proud 👏🏾👍🏾👌🏾❤️
Henry is a legend, Black Flag Damaged lives on in bands like Idles and many more.
Kurt Cobain decided to become a musician after going to a Black Flag concert.
A legend in his own mind, yes
Just saw the performance of my favorite Oasis song Supersonic. Utterly mind-blowing, sometimes I forget what a breath of fresh air they were.
Such a phenomenal band,
I agree. I forgot how great they were live.
they were lame...but a good song...
@@sonnyds6686 Oasis first two albums are some of the best in the whole 90's period. Nothing lame about that.
@@samuelmorse784 they are lame...it's just their style, I'm not taking away their credits as to having great albums, they're just lame ass boring live, particular in this clip...
I graduated high school in 1997. This brings back some memories.
I feel sorry for those born after the 2000s'. They'll never know what it was like to experience the 90s'.
Tiempos que no volverán . Cuando MTV realmente era bueno.
I recorded this on VHS just for N I R V A N A but loved every minute of it.
I still have it !
That was a great performance.
Ed Kowalczyk is so good on the “Selling the Drama” acoustic version.
When MTV was about the music. R.I.P. MTV
I have hunch that Henry didn't like a few of these artists, and that his compliments to them and to the episode were straight faced sarcasm.
Ya dont say
Lol he had to pretend
Well he did scream quite a few times about how much of a liar he was. 😂
Wow......nostalgia.......I waa in high school or College during this....going to the underground hardcore Punk and metal shows!
When MTV was worth watching. 90’s were the best time period ever! So glad I got to live through it!
Pure gold! Oasis sound is on point and Henry delivering!
When MTV was the real music channel.
Supersonic such a good song
Everything about Henry Rollin's outfit from the waist down is pure 90's here... :-D
He's literally just wearing gym shorts
Dudes rocking it tho
Jesus Christ. I usually am not a fan of the 1990's but this fucking amazing.
I remember when music was a lifestyle. You had to be into going to shows to find new bands, talk to people bout who they are into . No youtube music back then.Mtv, word of mouth and attending concerts is how I found my music
ohhh I remember those days... OMG! So many memories... Taylor used to play with Alanis 😊
I know they aren't remembered quite as fondly or respectfully as many of the other 90s rock legends... but if you weren't rocking those Silverchair and Bush debuts summer of 95 you weren't welcome in me & my friends' 12-13 yo basements.
yes, hello, I'm here for the "born in the early 80s" support group
Dude early Silverchair was so good. It's still good!
^^^exactly. (born in 84) Man, sometimes the nostalgia for the 90s is so strong I could cry. Take me backk!
*Nicole 4 Eva*
The movie _Fear_ completely ruined that song for me (edit: the Bush song); as well as "Wild Horses" (the cover version or not).
I hear these these songs and I bust out laughing.
"Chemicals Between Us" doesn't do that. Marky Mark and Reese Whippersnapper ruin everything I swear
Rollins Band were so tight and HEAVY ...Low Self Opinion was the single that ripped!
Millennial here, I remember being a little kid in the 90s and being so jealous of teens and young adults that got to live the grunge/ alternative rock era at its prime.
Oh man the 90s had such a cool quirky vibe that you don't get this days, artists this days feel more sanitized and generic, I didn't cared much for the 2000s either.
MTV use to be amazing.
Man i missed this show. I would always watch it on Sunday nights
my teen years, I used to wait to watch these. Awesome
"it's green day so don't go anywhere...."
Thanks for this video, so classic. A piece of art.
I've been trying to find The Stone Temple Pilots live show in the 90s. Man he was out there.
MTV was great. TV was always on, never turned it off
Thank you for uploading this.
At the time, I really didn't like Alanis.. but watching her now makes me so nostalgic of that era. Wish I could go back.
She was magnetic live. Unbelievably charismatic person. No wonder Kevin Smith picked her to play God.
Memories of Sunday Nights from 1989 to 1996.
I have this on tape thanks for uploading
Big thanks for uploading this! An amazing time in music and youth
1996 fue el mejor año en música para mi! No se xq! Pero esa fecha significó mucho!
