I'm not sure but to me Cherry Pie by Warrant was the last hair band hit.

Shameless promotional plug ...
Like Skid Row, Dangerous Toys is still together. They play short runs abroad and the retro rock/metal themed cruises and festivals throughout the year.
Scott Dalhover (original member, lead guitarist) became a Carondelet artist a few weeks ago and he and I have quickly become good friends. Great guy, and a killer player. Clickie the linkie ...

After a beer and discussion, did Candlebox move ahead and see success? They always reminded me of Tesla and just kept grinding

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.

Skid Row was killed by Nirvana in 1991? Tell me you weren’t alive then without telling me you weren’t alive then.

Maybe, but that type of music was never coming back to the mainstream.. it ran its course and as much as I'd like to say good riddance... its probably better than most of todays mainstream garbage..

Skid Row had blown up way before Nirvana struck it big. Can't remember who was next up in the glam metal pipeline... probably because they never had a chance to break. Whomever was opening for some of the biggest acts of the time, most likely.

Skid Row may have come out of the glam metal scene but they were not glam metal. Slave to the Grind was a heavy album. If they had continued on with that sound, and with Sebastian, they would have been right behind Metallica and Pantera as one of the biggest hard rock acts of the 90s. They may have even surpassed Pantera.

For all the talk of grunge killing metal, it sure didn’t affect Metallica’s career trajectory.
They’ve long ago lapped Nirvana and all the other grunge acts.

Metallica was a force of nature at that time.

The Black Album was the perfect album for them in August 1991.
The production on that album plus song composition blended very well with what was going on. For example "The Unforgiven" played well to those audiences. And they were ahead of the curb on that album, so it didn't feel like they were really trying to copy anyone.
Willing to bet a Metallica & Alice in Chains tour in 1991-1993 would've made a lot of money.

I dont think anyone considers Metallica hair metal... so, they probably dont apply to the conversation..
Hair Metal was just asking to be put out of its misery... Nirvana just ended up being the steamroller... tramp the dirt down!

For what it’s worth, I was a fan of both hair metal and Nirvana, and I listen to far more hair metal today than I do Cobain and company.

I've always heard that Nirvana killed hair metal, not metal in general. And it's never made a bit of sense to me to not include The Black Album when you're talking about killing hair metal. I mean Kill Em All was literally about hair metal.

Not at all, they were west coast thrash inspired by east coast punk and British heavy metal. imo anyways

This is the most accurate answer, so far.

I would strongly disagree
