I love Blake and I love Bruce - so this album for me was a gift from the heavens.

He gets the Miller quote slightly wrong...it's actually: "All growth is a leap in the dark, a spontaneous unpremeditated act without the benefit of experience" But it's Bruce, so we'll let him slide.

ya i agree but looking back on it the grunge image is just as dated and stupid as the hair metal image only grunge didnt have the masterful musicians.
-
Some of the hair metal was quite good, but the image and message were bad. I think Grunge was simply repulsion towards the flamboyancy and nonsense of the hair metal era. The metal bands that survived into the 90s (Maiden, Metallica, GNR) also tried to get away from the image of the 80s; Metallica became an alternative band...or whatever it became. Even Iron Maiden stopped wearing spandex and tried to return to the old days. If you are a metal band, running away from metal results in shit.

that isnt fair, although hair metal's image and message was flawed it produced some outstanding musicians and music. i think it carried out towards all metal bands... look at metallica and GNR or pantera. these bands were some what popular and hair metal was dying but then produced shit albums later on in the 90s. people just werent into metal generally in america in the 90s.
-
I blame hair metal for selling out and becoming mainstream. Once something becomes mainstream, it will inevitably die out when its popular fan base grows up. Unfortunately, this disgust toward hair metal bullshit carried on to all metal bands, including Maiden.
But now it doesn't matter because Maiden is back and better than ever \m/
