...same reason why many Hindus took offense to the cover of Aerosmith's Nine Lives, released in 1997. According to the on-line magazine India Pulse, "in place of Lord Krishna's face Sony and Columbia artists inserted the head of a cat. They also altered the male chest of Lord Krishna to that of a female with breasts, wearing a woman's blouse."

...older bands did manage to outlive the alternative craze. Aerosmith's "Crazy," "Cryin''' and "Amazing" (1993) may be more remembered for featuring Alicia Silverstone in their videos, but these hits also kept the power ballad alive in the '90s.
