The Breadfan opener was great & unexpected(we didn't have the internet then to tell us prior setlists)
But we did have other human beings who went to those shows and told others about it via other forms of communication.
There was a very active tape trading circuit that existed at the time as well, so it wasn't a huge shock 2 months into the tour (I was at the same show).

Hair metal was pretty much dying up until 1991, GNR was considered a hair metal band at points but never really were.
I mentioned this in another thread, but most of the Billboard magazines from the late 80s and early 90s are free to read on google, and you can research trends on all of this on a week by week basis
Grunge is like a made up term someone probably at Geffen came up with for marketing.. if you look at the big 4.. Nevermind is a Pixies record, Ten is a pretty straight forward alternative record of the time, Soundgarden was basically tinged on the edge of heavy metal before Superunknown, and AIC was just a great rock band with a great lead.. the Melvins were probably the closest thing to grunge of any band, and that's not sell cds and flannel shirts
