Nirvana played an important role in this but ...KTF was the result of an explosion of sounds coming from U2's Actung Baby, passing through Metallica's Black Album and some epic songs from the Use For Illusions of Guns N Roses ... and a pinch of Bryan Adams Waking Up The Neighbors. But I guess Bon Jovi was the easy target to get hit.
Ironically, These Days is an album influenced by the grunge and rock n roll of the 70s.
