Hey guys! I was watching the Tv show "That Metal Show" and they had a member of Warrant, other from Pussycat dolls and another one from Strypper. One of the questions was done to the guys from Pussycat Dolls was Why didn't you get as big as Guns and Roses, you where at the same place, at the same time, you had radio hits, etc... and the guy said "I had no idea".
Why do you think this GN'R become bigger, and why some do you think some bands become more popular than other ones that play the same style in the same city and sometimes that even sound better... (I don't believe it's the case here) This post has been edited by Gabriel Leopardi: Dec 18 2012, 03:21 PM -------------------- My lessons

Right time and place.
Hair metal was becoming a joke, it was tired and played out, it was pandering to the mainstream. GnR's image was more edgy, gritty, less hairspray, no spandex, a punkier bluesy edge, they shook up the rock scene. They weren't as big a change as grunge so it wasn't so different, there was still something familiar rock fans could hold on to, but different enough to standout from the reset and be a breath of fresh air. That's my view on them. Another band that stood out for me but never quite got really big (probably due to the fact that they were a Faces rip off, were The Quireboys) -------------------- My SoundCloud
