As discussed last week on NSTS, 1991 was the year that grunge exploded. However, the scene was still very much in its infancy – hard rock and heavy metal were still the most dominant version of rock.

So this week, in addition to talking about U2, Garth Brooks, and Lollapalooza, we look at the two most powerful heavy rock bands of 1991 – Guns N’ Roses and Metallica. Axl Rose made history doing something no artist had ever done before with the Illusion records, and the recording of Metallica’s Black Album was so intense that three of the four band members would get divorced before it was completed. Don’t miss this.
