Is it true that 90 percent of metal bands were dropped from there labels because!
Question: I highly doubt it. First of all, because Nirvana wasn't metal, it was grunge. Second, people loved Nirvana even after Cobaine did himself in and people still do (I don't know why, but whatever). But the grunge movement was over, and Nirvana epitomized that movement, so the companies might've seen that and dropped SOME bands, but probably not many. Plus, in that time period, metal wasn't all that popular like it was in the 80's with AC/DC and Metallica and all that kind of thing. Definitely not 90% of the bands lost their labels. Maybe like 5 or 10% tops.

Nope.
I don't know how to be any clearer. :)
The thing is Labels are money making machines with really almost no idea what is or is not going to make them money.
Instead, they rely on market research and their Label representatives to find bands which are pulling in the audiences and cash.
If you want to blame anyone look at Britney Spears and the mindless fans who listen to canned music.
No, it is not true.
No. A lot of bands were dropped from their label because in the 90s metal wasn't as "cool" as it used to be in the 80s, and also now record labels can invest in talent-less pop stars and own them, rather than have to pay off someone who actually cares about music.
Brown Sounds - that was possibly the worst answer I've ever read on YA.... Seriously... You sound like you're retarded.
The answer to the poster's question, no - many bands were dropped after their contracts expired, but no label just cut ties with bands in contractual relationships because one band got popular. It just led them to seek out more grunge bands.
