Question
Hi Crystal,

This is a great site. I have been a 90210 fan since the time the first episode aired in 1990. Unfortunately, the DVD's don't do the original series justice due to the music changes, but I have managed to record the first four seasons, which are my favorite, off of Soapnet.  

Anyway, I need help in identifying the names and artist(s) of two songs from the original season three episode "Wild Horses" What is the name and real artist of the song Nikki's ex-boyfriend Diesel Stone and Waste Management are performing? Also, what is the name of the song playing in the background when Brandon and Diesel are having words and diesel calls David a Vanilla Ice rip off.  The song gets louder and clearer before going to a commercial.  Both songs are rock songs. I think one may be called "Different Eyes" by Treason, but I don't know what the other one is called, and are these songs available for purchase anywhere because I can't find anything by the group Treason?  Thanks for your help. Nicole

Answer
Hello Nicole,

The song that Diesel Stone & Waste Management perform is called "Different Eyes" and it's by Treason. However, the only way I know that is the information is actually listed in the end credits of the episode. I couldn't turn up anything when searching the internet for more info beyond that.

I found 2 albums by a group named Treason (don't know if it's the right one though) on the website tower.com: "Spinning" from 2001 and "Word On The Street" from 2005. Beyond being released way too late to be the song you're looking, none of the song titles listed matched either.

About the other song, I do not recognize the song or artist. In some ways, the singer's voice sounds familiar, maybe I have heard another song by the same artist. Then again, maybe I listened to the song so many times trying to pick up lyrics to search with that I now think I've heard the artist before.

I do not know if the lyrics I picked up are correct. Here's my best guess though and not in any particular order:

I must be dreaming
time is right
turn up the music
turn out the lights
to get it right
I need it tonight
deceiving
all night
don't wait
don't run
No way ___
love is forever

There's a good chance this is a commercially available song because it was removed on the DVD release and replaced with another song.

I posted a question about both songs on a BH90210 message board I visit regularly, maybe I'll be able to follow up with you that one of the other members was able to provide the info you asked about.

My apologies that I wasn't able to help you more.

Take care,
Crystal
