I have a friend that is doing a 1 day free download promo for her 2nd album. It's pretty damn good. You have 43 minutes left to take advantage of this:
I love that Estranged video. So much weird symbolism with it, that unless you remember the times it really has to look utterly crazy. And Axl Rose is just that utterly crazy. I think that was the end of the huge rock band era. ( minute song, 9 minute video and it was played both on the radio and MTV. That video serves as a postcard of another era.
I don't think there has been a band since that has the requisite meglamania needed to be the biggest band in the world. In the end GNR couldn't keep it together, but they captured the imagination for a couple of years. That was pretty much the end of these huge bands that could sell out stadiums and more importantly wanted to sell out these stadiums. The grunge bands could but their heart wasn't in it and since then there hasn't been any new band that could capture the imagination. Its why the NFL has to trot out 60 year olds to play haltime shows.

I guess Kid Rock might be an exception. He does sell a lot of records, sells out stadiums and wants to be big. Most of his act and songwriting is a nod to that era.
