What's Inside Volume 2 of 90 The Original Subscription Box
📚 Signed Copy of Lollapalooza: The Uncensored Story of Alternative Rock’s Wildest Festival
By Richard Bienstock & Tom Beaujour – Foreword by Kim Thayil (Soundgarden)
What it is:
A signed, no-holds-barred oral history tracing Lollapalooza’s rise from a farewell tour in July 1991 to the defining alt‑rock cultural phenomenon of the ’90s—and its evolution into a massive modern festival.With over 200 firsthand interviews (bands, roadies, promoters, sideshows!), this book uncovers backstage drama, epic heat waves, and insider antics like Trent Reznor walking offstage in a 120°F Arizona desert meltdown
Why it matters:
It’s been called “a firecracker of a book” by The Washington Post and “a humdinger of an oral history” by Kirkus, cementing it as essential reading for any ’90s rock fan or nostalgia hunter. One reviewer summed it up perfectly:
“The Lollapalooza tour defined 'alternative culture' in the nineties … the book collects the musicians’ unbelievable-yet-true stories into an indispensable page turner” — Rolling Stone
Why you’ll love it:
- Signed & collectible – personal touch from the authors
- Behind-the-scenes exclusives: raw photos + untold stories
- Foreword by Kim Thayil, elevating it from history to legend
- Mixes rock nostalgia, grit, humor, and cultural critique
🔱 Replica of Chris Cornell’s Iconic Fork Necklace
What it is:
A handcrafted replica of the legendary fork necklace worn by Chris Cornell of Soundgarden—designed to capture the original tool-turned-amulet that became a defining piece of his early ‘90s image.
Backstory:
- The fork pendant was originally fashioned by Shannon Hoon, frontman of Blind Melon, using a stainless-steel fork he picked up at a Denny’s during the bands’ early tour together
- It was then given as a gift to Chris—symbolizing their friendship and tour camaraderie .
- Chris wore it frequently (including in the “Black Hole Sun” video) until Shannon’s tragic death, after which Chris respectfully stopped wearing it.
Craftsmanship Notes:
- Carefully bent to match Shannon’s original Denny’s-forged shape
- Finished with a vintage patina to reflect years of real wear
- Suspended on a robust black leather or chain cord (just like the one Chris wore)
Back from the ashes — and now legendary.
🧢 90 The Original Trucker Hat
What it is:
The iconic 90 The Original black trucker hat — redesigned and re-released only for subscribers. A simple statement piece that now holds a whole lot of history.
The backstory:
We had this hat in our inventory for a while… until we lost everything in the Palisades fire. The very last one left? I had it on my head while leaving the house.
That same hat went with me to the Pearl Jam show in Nashville — and at just the right moment, I passed it to Eddie Vedder from the crowd. He looked at it, smiled, and put it on immediately.
After that night, the messages poured in. Everyone wanted the hat. But I knew it had to stay special. That’s why you’re holding this now.
