By 93, GNR had become too grandiose. People thought the estranged video was too over the top. The dolphins? Lol….no one really cared for the spaghetti incident. Ain’t it fun (which I love, had some air play) was the only popular song. Grunge was dominating the radios….Dave Matthews started to dominate college dorms and GNR was easily forgotten. Who knows what really went down but by all accounts back then, Axl was the bad guy. He was seen as a diva with a huge ego.
