We Misjudged Nelson & After The Rain

from The Hair Metal Guru · host Anthony Bryant

When Nelson released After The Rain in 1990, many hard rock and metal fans dismissed them as a manufactured band riding on image and major-label hype. But were we wrong?In this episode of The Hair Metal Guru, we take a fresh look at Nelson's debut album After The Rain and discuss our original impressions when it was released, how the band was perceived by rock fans at the time, and whether those opinions hold up today. We also explore the misconception that Nelson was a label-created act and talk about what we learned about the band's musicianship and songwriting over the years.Was After The Rain unfairly judged? Did Nelson deserve more respect than they received? Join the conversation and let us know your thoughts in the comments.What did you think of Nelson back in 1990, and how do you feel about them today?#Nelson #AfterTheRain #HairMetal #HardRock #RockMusic #90sRock #TheHairMetalGuruPlease Like, Subscribe, & HYPE!!
