Vincent Vega Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Besides Metallica and GN'R, what are some other notable hard rock or heavy metal bands that opted to try a "Grunge" or "Industrial" sound in the 90s? Like bands noted for their hard rock or heavy sound that suddenly went Alternative or went in an electronic direction in the 90s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JKKDARK Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 WarrantThose guys had the talent to make the worst Hair Metal records and then the worst Alterntive records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The.mad.hatter.99 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Motley Crue's self-titled album in 94 definitely went for a grungier/alternative kind of sound compared to their other records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 KISS technically did. Before the reunion tour, the follow-up album to Revenge (Carnival of Souls) was supposed to be released. The reunion tour delayed things and the album got shelved. It was finally released in 1997 because of the amount of bootleg versions going around. Now it's kind of a weird, forgotten about album because it came out at a point where the original line-up was back in the spotlight.There's some okay songs:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNYzfdi_BQY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatFreddysCat Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Shotgun Messiah (Hard Rock To Industrial)Funny thing is, Shotgun Messiah's "industrial" album (Violent New Breed) turned out to be their best record. That thing slams!!Just thought of another one -- W.A.S.P. gave the Marilyn Manson techno-terror style a shot on their K.F.D. album ... it stunk.
