American Hair Metal

Everyone knows "it takes a real man to wear makeup” according to Bret Michaels of Poison in homage to a time when pomp and spandex dominated. This extravagantly visual tribute to the 1980s glam rock phenomenon features hundreds of striking photographs surrounded by hedonistic ephemera from bands like Poison, Cinderella, Mötley Crüe, Skid Row, and Stryper, and wild interview quotes from major players such as David Lee Roth, Jon Bon Jovi, Sebastian Bach, Tommy Lee, Nikki Sixx, Bret Michaels, Don Dokken, and a good number of unsung but not unhung heroes.
