Subject: when did heavy metal reach its commercial peak?
Written By: fgbn on 05/23/19 at 11:35 am
i have read that heavy metal was at its commercial (not necessarily creative for all of you subjectivists out there who thinks that pop-culture goes hand in hand with what you personally find tasteful) from 1986-1991, is this true? and also does your opinion on this matter encompass all of the west or is it only exclusive to the US?

It peaked in 1987-1988 with Bon Jovi's Living on a Prayer, and Guns and Rose's Welcome to the Jungle and Sweet Child O' Mine.

It really blew up with Metallica in 91. That was weird.

The Moscow concert. Before that Metallica was a niche band.
