The Explosive New York Times Bestseller A backstage pass to the
wildest and loudest party in rock history--you'll feel like you
were right there with us! --Bret Michaels of Poison Nothin' But a
Good Time is the definitive, no-holds-barred oral history of 1980s
hard rock and hair metal, told by the musicians and industry
insiders who lived it. Hard rock in the 1980s was a hedonistic and
often intensely creative wellspring of escapism that perfectly
encapsulated--and maybe even helped to define--a spectacularly
over-the-top decade. Indeed, fist-pumping hits like Twisted
Sister's "We're Not Gonna Take It," Moetley Crue's "Girls, Girls,
Girls," and Guns N' Roses' "Welcome to the Jungle" are as
inextricably linked to the era as Reaganomics, PAC-MAN, and E.T.
From the do-or-die early days of self-financed recordings and
D.I.Y. concert productions that were as flashy as they were
foolhardy, to the multi-Platinum, MTV-powered glory years of
stadium-shaking anthems and chart-topping power ballads, to the
ultimate crash when grunge bands like Nirvana forever altered the
entire climate of the business, Tom Beaujour and Richard
Bienstock's Nothin' But a Good Time captures the energy and excess
of the hair metal years in the words of the musicians, managers,
producers, engineers, label executives, publicists, stylists,
costume designers, photographers, journalists, magazine publishers,
video directors, club bookers, roadies, groupies, and hangers-on
who lived it. Featuring an impassioned foreword by Slipknot and
Stone Sour vocalist and avowed glam metal fanatic Corey Taylor, and
drawn from over two hundred author interviews with members of Van
Halen, Moetley Crue, Poison, Guns N' Roses, Skid Row, Bon Jovi,
Ratt, Twisted Sister, Winger, Warrant, Cinderella, Quiet Riot and
others, as well as Ozzy Osbourne, Lita Ford, and many more, this is
the ultimate, uncensored, and often unhinged, chronicle of a time
where excess and success walked hand in hand, told by the men and
women who created a sound and style that came to define a musical
era--one in which the bands and their fans went looking for nothin'
but a good time...and found it.
