Sensing that Hair Metal was done as a genre, I politely passed, although if that had happened 10 years before or even 5, I'd have been there faster than the Roadrunner.

Unfortunately, that version of the band never ended up happening but Coverdale did put together a killer version of Whitesnake in 2002 featuring Reb Beach from Winger and super awesome guitarist Doug Aldrich.
Sadly, that was the right call.

God I hate what happened to music in the 90s.

Yeah, you and me both. By the time I got to Hollywood, the entire scene was deader than dead.

And to think that most of those early 90's bands that hit the scene barely lasted the decade, if not half a decade, while guys like Weiland, Cornell, Cobain and Layne Staley are dead.

Who could forget Tawny Kitaen slinking around everywhere and sweet Steve Vai guitar solos?

Vai never really fit that band (or any band for that matter, outside of Frank Zappa) which is why Coverdale disbanded Whitesnake after the Slip of the Tongue tour

Yep. Vai, much like his cohort Joe Satriani, just wasn't "band" material. Way too diverse for that really. He tried Alcatraz, he tried DLR (which actually has some good tunes with Vai). He's just so amazing by himself, it's hard to fit him into a "formula".
