The 80's and 90's were FULL of them. Not that they always
were successful, but that they
wanted to be successful for those stated reasons. Of course, I live in a place where classic rock cover bands, hair metal bands, and 'modern country' bands have always been extremely popular.
It may be that there are fewer bands full of superficial, posturing mega-Aholes than there were back in those days. I hope so. It certainly is much harder to get a recording contract and I don't think that model of manufacturing a band, then giving them a bunch of coke in the hopes that they will destroy themselves is as lucrative as it used to be. Then again, I am an old fart and I'm not as hep to the local music scene as I used to be.
