re: What Metal band did Nirvana/Grunge kill in 1991 that was going to hit next?

Skid Row's problem was their issues with Sebastian. They could have been a second rate GnR. Much like GnR, their lack of success in the 90s was due more to internal band issues than Nirvana or the public's changing taste in music

This. I think that Sebastian was pretty immature with the success of the debut album & Slave to the Grind. Heavy drinking and drugs eventually led to the animosity in the band (including clashing egos). The group fired him thinking that their success will continue without Sebastian. They were wrong. A similar situation happened with Warrant and Jani Lane.

To me, those 2 bands were very talented and had great songs but they peaked way too late during the hair band era (1989-90 I think). And to me, those 2 bands were the last successful bands of heavy metal or hard rock.
