Seems to be a new trend seeing as we had the three part I Wanna Rock: The 80s Metal Dream a month or two ago.

While I love these kind of documentaries, I hate the fact that the facts are not always right and they jump all over the place with how things happened.

For instance in the third episode they are talking about 1989 and how things were changing due to the rise of Metallica and metal was moving into a more pop orientated musical style with ballads, like ballads had not been a staple of the hair metal genre for most of the decade. And then examples they give are Cinderella heartbreak station, which came out in 1991 and Bon Jovi bed or roses (1992) almost as if songs like Every rose, Home sweet home, Wanted, Is this love, Honestly, The price and Sweet child did not exist.
