120 Minutes
 

2 interesting things:
-watching an old MTV 120 Minutes from around the release of BF...
Karl and Rick were guests... being interviewed...
yet, Rick was recording the interview on a MiniDisc. nice.

-they mentioned how fans would get to see the Van Halen, Van Halen, Rock Guitar Band piece... it was shown where? how is it?

I have only 1 minute or so of Van Halen...., it was part of a broadcast of the 1999 Tilburg concert + tour around Tomato. Also in there a few seconds of karl and the other boys at a catwalk showing clothes and playing music. Plus some of the tomato ads.

wow, 120 minutes... that's old school! i don't even know how young I was at that time...

Re: 120 Minutes
 

No kidding. I used to tape it every weekend and watch the tape the next day, along with The State. I wonder if I taped that episode and then FFW'ed through the interviews since I'd never heard of UW and was totally into rock at the time.... :o

Re: 120 Minutes
 

hehe, totally. I also used to tape AMP all the time, and re-watch all the videos by Chemical brothers and the like. ah, nostalgia.

Re: 120 Minutes
 

the original RTSR website - when there was like, the official page then the 'unofficial' fan page - had a real audio stream of at least a long section of the Van Halen deal

I absolutely loved having it... unfortunately, I never recorded a hard copy, and it seems that no one else had one

From what I remember - this is what was on the real audio file:
• Karl talking about Toots & the Maytals "Pressure Drop" with the "the girl" audio soundtracking (title taken from its more recent appearance on dirty radio)
• stuff about going on a road trip, and having a flat tire in the middle of the desert and an interview with URB magazine
• a story about a guy who came up to karl and offered a picture of a beautiful girl reclining on a car, but there was a dead rat on the photo

...it's funny that I remember that much from something I only heard a handful of times like... six years ago!

although I never saw any video of it

I just wish I had that audio again... it really blew my mind back then

Re: 120 Minutes
 

I have the audio on a disc that negative1 sent to me a few years ago. I won't be able to dig it up for a few weeks. Maybe you could ask him in the meantime.

Re: 120 Minutes
 

that's how I got into electronic music, including Underworld. my old college flatmate emailed me recently asking if I still had the tapes, and I do somewhere. he suggested we make DVDs out of them. good times.

...and I've periodically asked for this recording (even just audio) for years:(


(probably ever since it went off the old rtsr site)

(edit)
wait... you had it on video tape at one point? ...video? damn. but oh well I guess, I just hope that something will turn up eventually
