| Mane Attraction was undoubtedly their most mature effort (although I am still a bit partial to Big Game) and their least successful. Go figure. Grunge worked in mysterious ways (note the year, 1991).

| Every comment here is wrong! We know White Lion was one of the greatest hard rock bands, but of course it's not one of the best 90's records and it's not even the best White Lion album (the best is whit no doubt 'Pride'). This album is not an A+ from start to finish; it has wonderful songs like Broken Heart, Love Don't Come Easy, You're All I Need, Till Death Do Us Part... but it has bad songs like Leave Me Alone, Warsong and She's Got Everything.

| Poser Spirit, I don't if your 'first prize' comment is meant to be insulting or not, but the fact is Nirvana's Nevermind came out in 1991. I wish it were a Sleaze Glam year, but it wasn't. 1991 was the beginning of the end for a lot of our favorite bands. Like it or not, it's true.
|
| From: Poser Spirit |
Date: September 5, 2001 at 22:35 |
| 1991 was a year of Guns n' Roses, Skid Row and Extreme (and soon was coming Hardline); I see that like a sleaze glam year (only sleaze glam bands). Nirvana and grunge were more popular than hard rock a little bit after that... TRM, what did you want to say when you said: 'Grunge worked in mysterious ways'?
|
| From: TRM |
Date: September 14, 2001 at 6:24 |
| Poser Spirit, the implication is that grunge fucked up the hard rock market, and it was difficult to understand how and why. 1991 was a year of distressing transition, and Mane Attraction was affected by it. The album should have been more soccessful. That's all. One other fact I think you might find interesting: I went to see Extreme in the Fall of 1990 on their Pornograffitti Tour. Guess who opened? ......Alice In Chains. Mind boggling, isn't it?

| From: Poser Spirit |

| Best White Lion cd by far. At the time this came out though it didn't stand a chance. The grumblings were beginning for hair-metal and these guys were bound to be one of the firast victims of that. That's too bad because this album is solid beginning to end.

| From: Desslar |
Date: April 17, 2002 at 1:34 |
| Some of their best ballads are here, but it's missing the fun party songs and power metal tunes they used to do. The heavy songs try too hard to sound trendy, and tunes like 'Leave Me Alone' just don't have that White Lion sense of melody to them. 'Love Don't Come Easy' is great.
|
| From: TIM |
Date: May 15, 2002 at 2:23 |
| Love Don't Come Easy is indeed great. I think I favor pride a little bit over this one, but I still like it. As far as the grunge thing, it didn't really take off until mid to late '92. When Nirvana first started, I remember people talking about how weird Smells Like Teen Spirit was when it came out. It took a little bit for people to go nuts over it. What killed the '80s were the big bands breaking up, key members leaving, too many drugs, jealousy, griping about other bands,

| members fighting over who they thought made the band a success, partying too much then throwing an album together at the last minute, firing the people that made them, not showing up to concerts or not being able to play once they got there, stupid DJ's acting like all the big bands had only 3 songs for people to listen to, lack of consistant new bands, etc.. When Nirvana finally got hot, STP and Pearl Jam joined in to take over the airwaves. Then Collective Soul, Bush, and Live jumped aboard.

| Sorry for the lecture folks, but I remember being really pissed at a lot of my favorite bands at the time for laying down and letting grunge take over because they were letting such petty things bring down the music. They fought their own friends and fans, not their real enemy-grunge. Even though G'N'R' and Quiet Riot are among my fav's- their inability to keep their egos and mouths in check helped contribute to the illness in my opinion.
|
| From: TIM |
Date: May 15, 2002 at 2:56 |
| One last thing. I honestly don't think the makeup and clothes had anything to do with the sickness. It's normal for the crowd to make fun of the previous fad. I was making fun of how the grunge groups looked when they were at their peak- disheveled hair, unshaven, flannel, etc.. Gee, looking like a hobo is so cool. The glam bands were tame compared to Manson anyways. Guess what, people will be making fun of him later along with Godsmack, Wimp Bizkit, Kid Rock, ad nauseum.

| In my opinion White Lion have made only one master piece(Pride). Mane Attraction has about five or six good songs( Warsong,Out with the boys and Broken heart are my favs). The others are boring or fillers. Why did grunge take over hard rock? Mtv and the Majors of the record industry decided that It was time for a new trend. Great Dickheads. This fact still makes me angry like a wolf.
|
| From: TIM |
Date: May 15, 2002 at 11:12 |
| Good points Prophet, MTV and the Majors did have a lot to do with it as well. There are probably numerous reasons all of us could name, but we all know the '8os musicians were way better skillwise. People just follow the crowd and never stop to question why. I also agree with your comments about Pride, I like Mane Attraction but not as well.

| Oh Man, You got me started now! You guys hit on some good points about the grunge take over. It's hard to believe that from about '92 'til 1999 there wasn't a song on the radio with a guitar solo in it! Another reason grunge took over is the hair band stile that you like got over saturated. We started off good with G'n'R, Tesla & Cinderella, But then we ended up with shit like Sweet F.A. I mean,.... COME ON!....That reminds me. I need to go to the Sweet F.A. page and vent!

| From: TIM |
Date: May 15, 2002 at 18:33 |
| Hardline, XYZ, Firehouse, and Slaughter put up a good fight that kept the '80s alive as long as it did. But. like jason said there was such an influx of garbage flooding the market. People got sick of the trash and took it out on the few good bands still going. If the record companies has used more scrutiny, things might have been different.

| Tim, you mentioned a few bands that trekked on through the 90's. If you ask me, I think the only band that made any headway at all in the 90's was Jackyl. Others tried, but nun could maintain their popularity like Jackyl did.
|
| From: TIM |
Date: May 15, 2002 at 20:47 |
| Jackyl did make headway as much as the others I mentioned. I don't think they continued in popularity throughout the entire decade. Their cd's were in pawn shops everywhere. I'm not saying you're wrong, but I remember them burning out pretty fast. I'm glad you like them, but I sure didn't notice anyone holding up the Jackyl banners during the grunge era. All I noticed were all the traitors claiming they never liked the '80s in the first place.
|
| From: jason |
Date: May 15, 2002 at 21:19 |
| There is a couple of reasons why I give so much credit to Jackyl. Their fist album came out in 1992 and they went on to make about 4 or 5 albums total. The last one I have came out in 1998 called 'Stayin' Alive'. Also they were at Woodstock '94 and alot of reports say that Jackyl stole the show. In 1994, what other hair bands could have stole the show?
|
| From: TIM |
Date: May 15, 2002 at 22:41 |
| Personally, I think any of the bands I mentioned could have. I really only liked about 2 or 3 songs by Jackyl. I've never seen Jackyl live, so I really don't know.
|
| From: jason |
Date: May 16, 2002 at 16:38 |
| Tim, I have seen Jackyl live three times. I've even been thrown on stage with them (that was cool!). They are one of the top four live acts I have seen. Jackyl was the biggest hit out of hair bands in the mid 90's because they got a late start and people weren't sick of them yet. Geffen's last hoo-raw.

| This album has good music such as 'Broken Heart', 'Love Don't Come Easy' and 'You're All I Need'. OK, this is the best Whit Lion album. But I don't want to exeggrate more. I agree that White Lion never became a 'WOWW! WHAT A SUPER HIT' band. They were more BALANCED. Of course they were super than Pearl Jam. (Sorry, even to compare with that SHIT Jam, is an insult to them, I know!). Whatsoever, take this record to return to melodic days and sigh 'ahh those days!..'.

| White lion,just like cinderella and winger are typical classic rock band,with classic guitar riff and classic vocals.Their music is quite similar to malay rockwhich is what malay people listen to(i know cause i know a lot of them). Ithink because their music is too classic,they fall victim to the grunge invasion! Anyway,sadly for the hard rock/metal fans,this album is the last of white lion's.i will never forget what white lion have done for the hard rock/metal music.

| Probably the best White Lion album, but that's not too much. Somehow on this one, it started to look like the band had lost it's vision. Still they did they best album, so maybe their vision was wrong. I say it again. I don't like Mike's voice, and Vito is a very good but not rock guitarist. If I can remember right. He's now given up playing totally or plays something completely different. Jazz or latino music. Enoughsaid 6,5/10

| This one is actually my favourite White Lion CD.Alongside 'Big game' it is unbelievable. That was such a weak album, and this is a musical force, heavy and melodic - brilliant. Although 'Pride is more consistant I prefer the balls of this one, and the better songs are their best yet - 'Lights and Thunder','Broken Heart','Love Don't Come Easy','You're All I Need','It's Over' Are probably my 5 favourite White Lion songs. I don't really like the rest, but at this point these 5 have done enough.8/10

| Not as immediate or fancy as its predecessors but a far more back to front fullfilling listen. Once upon a time WhiteLion were known for occasionally stepping away from the party, ManeAttraction is heavy on wordly views and in doing so exudes a road weary trodden down but experienced band making good on their crown. Sure there's some compulsory fodder but even those are high calibre. Recorded Broken Heart is magnificent, She's Got Everything silly but head nodding brilliance and for all its lyrical dumbness there's got to be a backstory to the engaging OutWithTheBoys can't but sing along. Too many ballads yes but they too value add, the bottom end groove to It'sOver kicks and LoveDontComeEasy is solid. The mighty Lights&Thunder rages outta the box, Warsong is thundering possibly a prelude to Mike's wonderful transition to FreakOfNature and the finale FarewellToYou a perfect fitting tribute to us fans. With huge production to boot, for 91 ManeAttraction was a juggernaut of a record 8.5
