I was in a hair band for 3 years back in 91-94, we got crushed when Nirvana & Pearl Jam came out.
I was the guitarist, and I had so much fun!
I don't know which was better, playing the music or the chicks lol.
Of course, living in LA, I have seen all of the bands in their various incarnations over the years, and it is great to finally see the majority of them back with the original members instead of the "1 original member" like it has been.
We were always saying "it's gonna come back, man"
Unfortunately, it took 15 years and now we all have real jobs.
Only good thing about that is that now I can afford to buy the equipment that I dreamed about back then.
I still play almost every day, and I still only play that style of music.
It's the only way to keep your chops up; anything that came out after hair metal a 2 year old could play on the guitar.
