While I also agree that GnR and its ilk, like Poison and Warrant, were getting called 'metal' in the mainstream, Metallica had also finally burst through the underground to score a major hit with One around the same time as well. Anyone with half a clue was already familiar with the two big Ms back then, Slayer and Anthrax weren't that far behind either.
I think we can all agree on FNM being one of the first 'real' alternative rock bands before that term became the catchall for anything released in the 90s.
