|
Date: March 26th, 2018 9:28 AM Author: Snowy public bath scourge upon the earth lolno. GnR and Metallica were HUGE at the same time as Nirvana and Pearl Jam were popular. Kids into rock music listened to all kinds of rock music and didn't ghetto themselves into "metal" or "alternative" or "grunge". The reason GnR and Metallica aren't the biggest bands of the 90s is 1) Their classic stuff was released in the 80s 2) Their popularity peaked around 1992 then quickly faded because they released nothing/shit after that.

Date: March 26th, 2018 1:18 PM Author: adventurous pit Their popularity did not "quickly fade." Nirvana has a half dozen tracks that still get steady rotation. People still freak out over anything Kurt Cobain-related.
Metallica is an odd duck. Yes their best music was from the 80s, but they didn't become a rock institution until the 90s. I'm sure most people who have bought Master of puppets over the years bought it after the black album was released. |

Date: March 26th, 2018 9:38 AM Author: Irate Bawdyhouse Nibblets Btw, what do we mean here by "biggest"?
Some poasters seem to think it has to include the band's most influential work, whereas others think it's just a band selling out stadiums and selling lots of records and being really famous.
With Metallica for instance, their more highly regarded work was certainly in the 80s, but they were undoubtedly a bigger, more popular band in the 90s. |

Also whoever said above they only had one popular album is a retard, In Utero and Unplugged both sold like 20 million copies. |
|
Date: March 26th, 2018 10:50 AM Author: Snowy public bath scourge upon the earth In Utero and Unplugged both sold only 5 million each, hoss, and that was largely based on hype from Nevermind and Kurdt suicide.
Nirvana had "cultural impact" but not so much musical impact. People into music didn't care about the Kurdt Kobain death cult. |
