And thankfully, with it the era of hair metal. But the principle remains the same to this day. I'd rather listen to something simple but interesting than something complex but boring. To me, Neil Young is a more exciting guitarist than Yngwie Malmsteen, but Yngwie is obviously technically more gifted. It's not because Young is less technical that I like his work more, but because Yngwie's work is too perfect, too clinical, to really affect me. My favourite solo of all time is David Gilmour's in "Comfortably Numb" - not too simple, not too complex, but not a note out of place and a perfect melding of the solo to the song.
I'm also neither American nor able to remember the likes of VH and the Crue the first time around, so I neither have any real feeling for whatever impact that scene might have had at the time, nor have I been impacted by any nostalgic feeling towards the era. And my opinions might be tainted greatly by "Jump", which is very dated and lame, and lumped in commonly with the likes of "The Final Countdown".
