Answer 2

skid row's "Slave to the Grind"

"Skid Row's sophomore effort, Slave to the Grind (1991), was the first metal album to debut at Number 1 in the American charts, despite, or perhaps because of, the bad publicity generated by Bach. Slave to the Grind became a big success"

Answer 3

Correct toughy!!

Skid Row's "Slave to the Grind" became the first heavy metal album to debut at number one on the Billboard charts, but it really was one of the best -- and heaviest -- examples of mainstream hard rock/heavy metal in the genre's MTV heyday. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide
