The 90s was a great decade to grow up in! I was born in 83, I remember going to see Hocus Pocus in theatre in 93 for my best friends 10th birthday. Music movies, such a fun time!😊

[@chris-wt7ol]

Jurassic park or last action hero

[@SuperStrik9]

Agreed. I was born in 81 and it was an amazing time.

[@Zilla23]

R.I.P. Shelly Duvall . You had a great interview with her

[@DrQuagmire1]

I actually watched part of that interview, and yeah, sad that she passed away

[@DalainaRenee]

They are a great band I miss the 90s ❤❤🎉

[@JohnPiperBoots]

Shelley Duvall July 7 1949 - July 11 2024 ... The Shining Overlook Hotel Ball - July 4 1921 Amazing all in JULY. RIP Shelley we love and miss you! ❤👻

[@kateealer7]

"You think they'll watch it?" Probably. You two are so sweet!

[@sci-fyguy7767]

I’m so glad you guys got a chance to interview Shelly Duvall before her passing-such a legend.

[@websurfer5772]

Yeah, that was awesome timing.

[@aprilheuft6682]

My kids, me, and my husband, Alan, all love the smashing pumpkins! Thank you both very much!

[@LinkMassing]

Wow, this episode means so much. I still have this CD. There are no words to describe the impact this album had. Every song was flawless!

[@websurfer5772]

They are flawless. From what I've heard Billy is a perfectionist and we get to benefit from it. 🙂

[@thehollowseance]

Holy cow. This is so cool smashing pumpkins was one of my favorite bands in high school

[@user-cj7gm8vp5d]

Awesomeness!! Makes a person homesick for a time and place that doesn't exist anymore😢😊

[@desertsessions]

This is incredible. I'm 13 again. Thank you both!

[@grimmlifecollective]

Right??? Takes you way back.

[@Zombie.rainbows]

Oh baby ghoul to be 11 yrs old in 1993...I was having my third child lol😂. Such great music. Brings back a lot of memories ❤

[@grimmlifecollective]

Right? This is one of those songs that hits the nostalgic button

[@seandodd6388]

Yeah, I was 13 and remember it well. Heard their other main hit off of Siamese Dream - 'Cherub Rock' on the radio that summer of '93 fresh out of its' release. My, were the '90s unforgettable times for many of us who actually lived them.

[@seandodd6388]

Oh yeah, and Beavis and Butthead took the summer of '93 off by storm, with their debut 'Frog Baseball' episode and among others that followed.

[@xSmokahontas83]

You were having your 3rd child when you were 11?😮

[@xSmokahontas83]

I really hope I'm reading that wrong!😂

[@jonnydubz8895]

“The end is the beginning is the end” is my favourite song ❤

[@latinoclint]

Thier absolute worse song literally lol

[@conniewymer9127]

Good ass song.

[@teresawallace747]

Dear Grimm Life I just got the News about Shelley Duvall and I also seen the video of y'all and her. She seemed so on top of the world again in y'all's video and I think y'all should do a beautiful dedication video to her now 4 her, y'all and her fans she had. FLY HIGH ALWAYS SHELLEY DUVALL ❤❤❤

[@mesmore896]

Was 25 in 93, I was so fortunate to have been listening to the awesome alternative music from the era..nothing today compares

[@matro75]

I was 18 in ‘93. That is so scary!.. Siamese Dream was my favourite album whilst at art college. Lovely warm fuzzy days back in the 90’s. Thank you both for this video❤😊

[@SaintMartins]

I was 22 in 1993. That same year i saw the Smashing Pumpkins live with opening act Screaming Trees at a 1,200 seat theater.

[@thefinerthingsinlife4557]

RIP Shelley Duvall.

[@lugiakane470]

Shelley Duvall, the beloved star who played Jack Nicholson’s wife in The Shining, has died, aged 75, News of her death was announced by Dan Giloy, her partner since 1989. Gilroy told The Hollywood Reporter that she died in her sleep of complications from diabetes. “My dear, sweet, wonderful life partner and friend left us. Too much suffering lately, now she’s free. Fly away, beautiful Shelley,” Gilroy said.

[@howardb.6205]

I'd sometimes share your videos with my sister. She has passed and it's wild the things that remine me of her. I would have sent this one to her for sure. Mad Love, all of you

[@basic_CeceRae]

So nostalgic! Enjoying ice cream 🍦 at that location was the perfect choice 👌🏼

[@martinpeck2743]

Went to see the Smashing Pumpkins in Manchester UK recently they still sound amazing.I'm 59 . great video ❤

Melancholy and the infinite sadness is their best masterpiece thank you Grimm happy Halloween 🎃

[@morqavisstudios2937]

It's amazing how I just watched this music video yesterday for the first time in at least 15+ years, and today you have a video on the locations. Too cool. Too cool! What a coincidence forreal

[@DarkLady13]

Michael and Jessica - just saw on a newscast in Maryland about death of Shelly Duval and they showed her sitting in a truck with a Grimm Life Collective shirt on! ❤

You 2 are so adorable, just sitting there eating your ice cream after a hot day at work. Thanx for another entertaining video ! I was 22 in 1993. That same year i saw the Smashing Pumpkins live with opening act Screaming Trees at a 1,200 seat theater.

[@ShaunUnderwoodx]

just what I need today ..Thanks Grimm's.. you always making me smile when the day starts bad.. what happens when you work from home .. Mr and Mrs Grimm.. Thank you always x

[@grimmlifecollective]

Happy to bring something fun for you TODAY. Thank you for watching and enjoy.

[@ampersann]

Really loved this video, as I was a huge Smashing Pumpkins fan when i was a teenager. Regarding the song/music video, the song was actually about Billy Corgan overcoming a serious case of writer’s block so “Today is the greatest day …..” line was him expressing joy at the fact he no longer had writer’s block. The video, as most music videos in the 90s probably made no sense/didn’t align with the “meaning” of the song, but its vivid colors and the carefree driving around seems reminiscent of that moment of joy. Thanks again for another great Grimm adventure!

[@joserenteriasvoiceoverworl6409]

Marry me ! 😊

[@louiecmancuzo2903]

BC had writers block, but he was suicidal. It's such a Billy Corgan song. The song gives you a feeling of hope musically, but the lyrics are about suicide, and really sad. If that is Billy Corgans' sense of humor. A song about feeling suicidal combined with the vibrant colors/visuals of the video. He's one of a kind.

[@curtvona4891]

Really cool! Love the Pumpkins. Thanks guys.

[@MegaCatlady66]

did you hear shelly duval passed away today so sad i loved the interview you did with her its lucky you got to see her b4 she left us sadly she will be missed rest well shelly

[@louiecmancuzo2903]

Awesome. SP are my all-time favorites. I love it that you're showing them some love! S🖤P

[@davidpate758]

Great video and y'all are awesome! Please do more music video filming locations. 🤘

[@user-vr6sd3cr9p]

I remember smashing pumpkins. Back in the 90's. Like Michael and Jessica do. Like seeing the place. Where they filmed a music video. See how things haven't changed since the 90's. Yes the heat is a lot hotter. Then it use to be. A good friend of mine use to drive me mad. Playing the song. With the lyrics the world is a vampire. The good old days. Keep looking for what you want to find. You can do it. Michael and Jessica know how to find places.

[@madmaryberry]

Btw - the answer is yes - we will watch you eat Ice Cream for 20 minutes. Hahaha.

[@grimmlifecollective]

Noted. Next time for sure. Lol

[@michaelross749]

​@grimmlifecollective it would be great if you could do something on 1 of my favourite rock bands of all time motor head or acdc maybe I think they would both be great episodes to research & watch would be so much fun 😊❤ keep up the great work loving how you manage to find the locations are match them up perfectly to scenes from the videos etc massive fan of what you do over in the usa 🇺🇸 & the uk 🇬🇧 I hope I manage to meet you both 1 day when your in the uk or if I ever come to America 🇺🇸 keep up the great videos & as always happy Halloween 🎉😊❤

[@davidleslie1963]

That was an awesome video...I love simply lining up the shots! Great work! I want ice cream now. LOVE!

[@adreli]

Great video! Love the location, what a flashback! 🎃🧡💚🖤

[@wr1121]

Small world. I just met Grimmlife at the Days of the Dead convention about two weeks ago and today they drop being in Taft, CA. I grew up there in the late 1970s. Specifically, Fellows just outside of Taft but I saw movies at the Fox theater there on Center St (The most immediate that I remember, is seeing a double feature… Convoy and Buck Rogers in the 25th Century). We were always running around Taft and doing things.

[@KmvS86]

Sick. Smashing🎃’s got me through high school 2000-2004

[@dannyslots3087]

I was 13 when this song came out. My brother played it everyday on the way to school

[@whatsleftbehind6539]

No joke, I was just thinking about this video the other day and thought to myself, “I wonder where they filmed that video.” Very serendipitous of you to make this video. And to think it was filmed just south of me.

[@craiglewis6821]

Great video Grimms! I loved it when you had the drone following the car! Happy Halloween from Arizona!!

[@Joolz520]

You should win awards for your photography and the shots you plan in your videos. Amazing!

[@user-je3cr1wr4k]

LOVE that Tesla - beautiful and stunning in all its technologies.

[@user-pi6ls9nk9o]

Been jonesing on you guys, glad to see you two. Top shelf clip…it was worth the wait. Take care.

I got an email that confuses me, something about taking this talk off this media. Please explain. And just to be clear, I love you two !

[@Okki76]

I went thrifting today and guess what kind of vintage T-shirt I bought..Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness...wow too cool...thanks for all the kick-ass stuff y'all do.

[@HumanOptimization]

This is so cool! I was a toddler when it released but have a lot of nostalgia from the smashing pumpkins for sure. They used to come play at the theatre around the corner from where i grew up in Upper Darby, PA.

[@smashapumpkin]

This channel just gets better and better!! 🤘🤘

I've been looking forward to this video and have had this song in my head since you mentioned it during our Ghost Hangout! I love the detail you put into all of your videos. Thank you, as always, for taking us with you on your awesome explorations!

[@kyleechristina1231]

Omg how did I miss the notification for this!!! I’m so mad at myself! Ahhhh watching now!!! Oh annnnd in 1993, I wasn’t born yet lol I was born 1995, but sometimes I swear I have an old soul, because my music taste varies immensely to where I’ve been listening to bands and artists that have been singing way before I was born but I grew up on it none the less! Diving in on this adventure now! So sorry I’m late! 💚🦇👻

[@eldsflamma8286]

So cute😊Just sitting there, eating icecream, just being happy together💚🖤

[@naybur74]

my favorite Smashing Pumpkins song is "TONIGHT,TONIGHT", has a special place in my heart and memory, involves my car getting painted, walking across town trying to make it to my grandparents house, but not getting there, calling for them to come and get me. my late Grandad came to get me, and took me back to their place for a night and pick my car up the next day. but the clincher to all this is while walking that day for a while on my walk man they were playing Tonight tonight on the radio, and i loved that song already as a new song from them, playing on heavy rotation, and later that afternoon while settling in with Mtv in my guest room what is the first thing i see and hear..is Tonight tonight, and just blew me away with the timing and all, from that point i'd knew i'd remember that day and my now late grandparents help from them when u needed it the most.

[@sarahb4405]

I love this as usual. You both make me happy with every Grimm adventure you take us on. It's pretty cool to see how things change over the years. If you had eaten the ice cream for 20 minutes I think we all would have kept watching 😂

[@ItzelDelaney60]

To be fair this is one of the few songs I like from smashing pumpkin as well as 1979 I wonder what other music video locations you guys might do because there are so so many filming locations that music videos were filmed here in California but none the less another awesome video 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

[@DruGunnersGamingEntertainment]

You guys have made some amazing locations videos, but my favourite was The Goonies. Thanks for the brilliant content you both have brought us 💀 🤘🏻 💀

[@joenickell6323]

Goonies was my favorite also

[@gagadreams]

My 3 favorite music videos from the 90's: #1 Weezer - Buddy Holly #2 Tool - Sober #3 SP - Today What a great time it was to grow up and I kind of feel bad for kids growing up these days because they could never understand what those videos meant back then! This was so awesome to see, great job! Would be so cool if you could visit the Happy Days Diner! If it's still even there?? 😊

We're finally able to watch it (we were filming ourselves yesterday hehe). But love how you guys found these exact spots and it also shows how things cease to exist in time. All the shops they filmed are closed, the drums being out of service since July 2013. Time goes by way too fast. The way you filmed with the drone is so well done, it feels like being in a film. Another amazing video =D.
