Proof Grunge Didn't Kill Hair Metal.
Or hair metal... the truth has to be told. After decades of hearing that Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains etc. Destroyed so called hair and glam metal. The truth should be told... a lot of those bands just sucked. And stopped writing decent enough pop tunes to keep others interested.
Poison, Warrant, Cinderella, Bango Tango, Dangerous Toys, Trixter, Slaughter, Hanoi Rocks, Stryper etc. Have cried for years that grunge killed their careers. Yet there were plenty of glam/hair metal bands ont he charts in 91 and 92.
Mr. Big had a number 1 hit with ''To Be With You'' in 1991. They also had a top 40 hit in 1992. And a hit in 1993 with a cover of Cat Steven's ''Wild World''
Firehouse had a top ten hit with ''Love Of A Lifetime'' in 1991. And another top 40 hit ''Don't Treat Me Bad''
And a top 10 hit in 1992 with ''When I Look Into Your Eyes''
Motley Crue had a top ten album in 1994. Even with then new lead singer John Corabi.
Def Leppard (they were a hair metal band. Lets me real here y'all) Were scoring hits untilt he mid 90's.
Cinderella was on the famous Wayne's World soundtrack in 92.
So there was still hair/glam metal in the charts during the early 90's. But they still act like grunge murdered it all on arrival. Why did these bands all have big hits then? :lol:
