The other band members should have done more to help Robbin, instead of squabbling like school kids.

I can't stand how people say Kurt Cobain and Grunge 'saved rock'. Saved it from what? Hair Metal? Glam was already on its death-bed when Nevermind came out...it would have died out on its own at the end of 1991 regardless. Secondly, the Grunge movement put alternative rock at the forefront for the next twenty years, and what followed it? Post-grunge, rap rock, and emo. Ugh. I like Nirvana's material, but in the long run Cobain damaged rock n' roll far more than the hair bands did.

@TheDaemonPrince every 20 years or so rock needs another kick in the ass. It happened in '91 and its due once again right about now.

@MrBizzmarky76 actually they were way more into guns n roses and that straight edge-look than glam. Sure pantera were glam ,but they were also more hard edge, and they actually sounded good musically. Ratt is probably the only glam band i can stand because they are heavy and original

[drumdude46]

Stephen Pearcy's attitude toward Robin Crosby and his immenent demise, his addiction and downfall, are despicable. what a cold, mean, harsh thing to smugly talk about like that. no respect at all "Percy". just lame. a guy who was there at the beginning, your lifelong friend, bandmate, and who helped create the success you bathed in, and you off-handedly quip, "guy had it coming". nice. you suck dude.

[MrBizzmarky76]

@jeeriva ironically, Alice In Chains were a foofy Poison - Faster Pussycat type band for years before they dumped the glam image. Same with Pantera, Rivers Cuomo played in Avant Garde (totally gay hairband) even Tori Amos had a hair band (Y Kan't Tori Read)

robbin and nikki sixx hung together in the 80s doing junk read motley crues the dirt they partied the sun set strip properly

[blucu01]

@rattmamma Even if they tried, it likely wouldn't work since Robin, a junkie, would only quit when he decided to.

[chadlawson80]

yea its like grundge was the last resort of rock.. Yea rap needs to be punished capitaly

!!

[jeeriva]

@TheDaemonPrince maybe because it started with all 80s band blamed the grunge bands for killing metal. ever listened to soundgarden or alice in chains? thats metal

[Metamorphosis33]

arguing over the merit of guitar riffs is like arguing over which color is the best...

[cbarrett34]

drugs and alcohol suck
