    I love the fact that in 93 people were using the internet for its intended purpose already... bitching about stuff. He did stuck, though.

    To be fair, ask their albums are forgettable and totally stuck.

    I am going to start a flame war, and argue about bottom posting.
    Every person is at a university, with a .edu address, not studying, but complaining about MTV.

    Did you show up on this thread because YouTube recommended 120 Minutes Best of 1993 and wondered who the hell is Lewis Largent and whatever happened to him?

    Yes, I remembered 120 minutes, I was exhausted every monday morning in high school. I remembered Kevin Seal, but not this guy so much.
    Then I remembered USENET, and remembered pre-2000 internet. and how
    everyone wrote in complete sentences, and huge paragraphs and had
    flame wars and were all bitter and snarky. Almost all .EDU addesses.
    Then I saw this.
    Then I felt old. I'm 46.

    I’m 36 now but watching this brought me back. I was more of a Pinfield fan though. I agree with the first poster, Largent sucks!

    Not like anyone gives a shit, but I meant to say I learned guitar and bass from a vhs recording of all these live performances and a shitty butt-rocker instructional vid. Ok I can sleep now.

    Holy shit. Yes. 100%. I’m 43 now and showing my kids what I was into back in the day. The best of 93 popped up and I rabbit-holed it HARD. I taught myself to play guitar and bass with one instructional video from some butt-rocker named Billy Sheehan (
    he was a genius though...still hate his actual music).

    120 min went through so many changes and I remembered the end of Dave Kendall. I don’t think there was an ep of 120 where he didn’t say “Depeche Mode”...

    I used to think a lot of these guys were douches back in my music snobbery days, but now I’m just getting all the feels.

    I think bagging on any TV “personality” for not being genuine is laughable however. So take that 1993 commenter. Flame you from the future!

    Am I the only one who despises the overgrown sycophantic grungemonkey
    of a VJ that is Lewis Largent? Now that he's taken over 120, I've noticed a shift to more american bands who I don't like rather thanBritish bands. What happened to Dave Kendall? I gather he wasn't popular among some fans, but he at least had some class. Lewis Largent calls every US band legendary, at least those around before 1988. I mean come on, enough.

    Yeah fuck that guy

    Matty Pinfield for life! Nobody else compared as far a music knowledge and connectedness with whomever he interviewed. Wish I could watch every single one of his 120's.

    He has since passed away after what's being reported as a "long illness" I was just just thinking about him not too long ago and ran into this 30 year old thread.
