From the book "I Want My MTV- The Uncensored History of the Music Video Revolution"
Doc McGhee: See, MTV was a culture for about ten years, before they forgot what lifestyle was. MV would be on in your house 24 hours a day. The culture they started was Bon Jovi, Motley Crue, Scorpions and Skid Row. And Kurt Cobain killed that culture like a light switch. I didn't sign any band in the 90's except for KISS, because I couldn't get Rage Against The Machine or Pearl Jam, and the rest of the stuff stunk. Record companies signed every band that looked slightly like The Ramones. It wasn't about showmanship. It was no fun. And I'm a fun guy.
