Still a great album despite it seemingly see-sawing between critically overrated and underrated every few years. |

Warrant was about to take over the world. Let's all take a moment and remember the greatness of Jani Lane. #RIPJani Pour out a lil Calvert. If he did he'd probably still be around to belt out some Uncle Tom's Cabin at the Brown County fair this month. |

I grew up in the 80's. I love heavy metal, speed metal, hair metal, and all metal in general. Nirvana did not kill hair bands. Shitty hair bands, MTV, and power ballads killed hair bands. MTV put anyone with long hair, and a shitty, slow, sappy song about a chick, death, etc. in heavy rotation. It was so over saturated that it was sickening. G N' R were out there. So were Megageth, Slayer, Anthrax, and Pantera. The hair metal genre was on life support, and someone needed to euthanize it. Thank God! They saved us from long careers from the likes of White Lion, Trixter, and Firehouse! |

Keeping Score has a point. Anything Nirvana did to extinguish hair metal is nullified and then some by giving rise to post-grunge, that cauldron of soupy shit, with hundreds of bands playing the same downtuned chords and everyone singing something that sounds like "wehh, weh wuh weh-wuh wehhh wunga wehhhh." We're still not out of those woods, you know. EDIT: to be fair, I suppose Eddie Vedder is more to blame for "wehhhh" than Cobain was. |

Alice In Chains, Primus, Janes Addiction, NIN, Ministry, etc...all had albums out by 1991. |

Not a fan of hair metal in the least. I shy away from Appetite for Destruction GNR in favor of Illusions GNR- the glam and hair thing probably factors into that. If Smells Like Teen Spirit had a hand in ending that era, fine. In Utero was a better album IMO. doug - evergreen park wrote: Agreed. Hair Metal was already dead and alternative was on the rise. Alice In Chains, Primus, Janes Addiction, NIN, Ministry, etc...all had albums out by 1991. The interesting thing about early '90s music is that a handful of those bands were around in the '80s, and they were doing the hair metal thing. I think Alice in Chains has that in their history- you can hear remnants of it on Facelift. Pearl Jam is debatable on the technicality of Mother Love Bone. The best was Pantera, though. It's hard to reconcile the Metal Magic-era Pantera with The Great Southern Trendkill-era Pantera.

Yeah...that was quite the discovery in the early 90s, realizing that Pantera used to be a step above White Lion. |

Agreed ks. I hated how it changed my party years too. Everyone went from having big hair and fun to dressing like lesbians and looking like they hadn't showered in weeks. Running around in $100 work boots complaining about how horrible their life was and general angst. |

I don't recall the change being that instant and I was 16 at the time. |

I was somehow able to skip most of the grunge. I went from having warrant and poison albums to getting Check Your Head and then on to snoop/dre, the pumpkins, weezer, green day. I was too young for there to be any partying during the transition years. |
