  There is nothing more out of style than recently out of style. The 90's were brutal for hair bands.

  You gotta appreciate how Ozzy adapted to every genre of rock for decades. He outlasted everyone while making huge changes to the sound.

  A video going through 90s bands trying to survive in the 2000s would be really interesting

  We can't deny that Bon Jovi's "It's my life" became a worldwide hit. My conclusion: They grew in their own pop rock style.

  1991 and 1992 are two of my favorite music years, mostly in part because both metal and grunge could be successful and co-exist, rather than just having to be alternative rock from 1993 onwards.

  i always wondered how that transition happened. i feel like everyone associates that big, long hair with the 80s. and then it just immediately disappeared in the 90s. trends are weird

  I do remember that almost everyone had Skid Row's 'Slave To The Grind' CD despite it being the height of grunge back in high school. It was such a heavy hitter it was totally legit.

  Bon Jovi became more successful outside the US during the 90s, especially in the UK. In terms of top 10 hit singles during the 80s, the band accumulated eight in the US and one UK. But in the 90s, they had two in the US and ten in the UK. As a solo artist, Jon Bon Jovi also got one in the US and three in the UK. This trend would also continue into the 2000s.

  I was never a fan of Poison but really, they tried changing their sound and direction before Grunge broke big. They seemed to be influenced more by the Black Crowes than Nirvana. So much so that I remember seeing an ad in the early 90's for something called "The Southern Rock Festival" and Poison was the headliner. With Lynyrd Skynyrd playing right before them.

  Skid Row broke out of the glam phase with Slave to the Grind - I mean that one was Super Heavy . Much Heavier and more Metallic than their self titled first one
