Anyone Remember Sliders?

OK, so you've probably seen the Stone Temple Pilots guy doing this:

Ugh. Of course you know that the Stone Temple Pilots fashioned all of their music after other early-90's artists such as Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains, simply combining lyrical and rythmic styles rather than actually coming up with anything that was really new. Well...

Anyone who remembers the TV show Sliders may remember the episode where they ended up in a world where government restrictions on the private use of technology left the world appearing as it did in the 1950's.

In that episode, the first place they went to was a record store.

One of the first albums the picked up was Kurt Cobain's Christmas. The theory behind that line was that an artist forced into different circumstances will still be an artist.

Well, it looks like Scott Weiland has outed himself once again as well. Maybe he actually thinks this is an "inside joke" since "nobody remembers Sliders".

Anyone into infotainment should feel free to track down the clip from the TV show and out Mr Weiland as the fraud he is by posting links in the Youtube responses.

Other than the plastic face, the three tons of makeup, and he suffers to carry the tune, crash, if you can aim us towards that episode, itd be appreciated.
And, as if musicians would bother to continue to be musicians with such constraints, and not just wearing leather jackets, and of course the assumptions theyd still be alive, is a "jump" in reality

I likes the sliders series ... Sineplex was an excellent studio back then.

The problem is that I'm really bad at finding things on the 'net. But then again, how many episodes could there be where the U.S. was stuck in the late 1950's?

 

[JAYDEEJOHN]

Not sure, but easy slider may be the episode

 

[Crashman]

I dunno Crash, I really dug Stone Temple Pilots. Was it similar to the other grunge coming out of seattle at the time? sure, but it still rocked out. (Plush, Wicked Garden)

However, that youtube video you linked was...............disturbing.

Disturbing...even to a Juggalo?

Anyone who remembers the TV show Sliders

I remember Sliders, I thought it was bad Sci-Fi, some episodes were good but mostly I found it painful to watch. It came off as a bad Quantum Leap.

But really though, I'm still reeling from the fact that Jerry O'Connell landed Rebecca Romijn. Go Jerry!!!!

I can never find anything on the net. Things I've lost "forever"

1.) Proof of old TV shows (lol)
2.) The news around 2000 (give or take a few months) that Intel blamed AMD for declining PC sales due to market flooding, and AMD's response.
3.) Proof that "needle nose" pliers are thinner than "long nose" pliers, which most people mistakenly call needle-nose.

Well your memory on graphics cards, PSU's and CPU's is still pretty stellar crash ... especially PSU's.

Searching Toms for stuff is hard but I have learned a few tricks.

I can find number 2. for you if you want.

Haha, but I can't find the news sources. In fact I started having trouble tracking down the news on Intel blaming AMD for the sales slowdown way back when those posts were written! It's almost like someone was trying to erase history.

Not that anyone would do that, right? I mean, the tech bubble bursts wasn't one even, but several events that happened during 1999-2000 while Clinton was still in office. And somehow we blame today's poor economy on the housing mess...

Had the housing bubble not happened, perhaps a few people would have seen that we're still in the doldrums of the tech bubble burst, that this building trade deficit was simply hidden buy a mountain of cash being traded in housing.

Woah steady on there big guy ... I'll find it for you.

/wades through the icky stuff.
