I'm from LA and grew up in the 80s and spent many long nights in the Sunset Strip.Even roadied for a band called Invaders. For me the best bands were Motley, Ratt,Armored Saint, Keel,WASP and Leatherwolf. The documentary can never show how truly amazing the scene was! Would be cool to get a proper doc on the East Coast scene too.
This is great and I can guarantee with this era so special and impacting and influential, this won't be the last documentary on this era and your content is becoming more and more known and I'm anxious now to buy your book. I bet there's another phone call or knock on that desert door regarding a licensing deal incredible content just like a diary👍
I wouldn't worry too much about the term "hair metal". All it was was a disparaging word about ANY band from the 80's/late 90's that wore spandex/leather, had long hair and songs had heavy guitars that the next, younger 'grunge' generation applied to the Sunset Strip scene to differentiate and distance themselves.
I love the shooting-from-the-hip honesty in these videos. I have no idea where the term Hair metal came from but I think it was first used as a way of insulting 80s pop rock bands. No band wants to be associated with Hair metal. I haven't watched the documentary. They always focus on the "strip" and get the same D-list interviews. Nobody ever cared about Faster Pussy Cat.
You bring back so many memories. W.A.S.P I haven’t thought about in so long. Hanoi Rocks, I loved. Back to Lamour in Brooklyn. You are right. It feels empty and missing a lot.
Saw soundgarden open for GnR . Guns was really late to get onstage. Most of us had to go to work the next day. Drove from the concert to the jobsite pretty pissed off. They had gone from a hard working mentality to elite and clearly didn't give a shit about their fans. Soundgarden made huge inroads
Just happened across your channel and agree with everything you said 100%. I was in a NYC band called The Fleshooks from about 87-94. Played and hung out in that whole NY scene until we relocated to San Francisco in ‘90. New York gets almost zero love when it comes to that whole metal/ hard rock scene of the 80s.
Love your honesty.sometimes u just need to hear a different perspective. I agree with you say here.hope u keep up the videos .i grew up in the 80s on the east coast and dam it was a killer time.lots of great parties and really good rock bands.thanks again and keep it up.
Happy to have a video from you! As soon as they said Quiet Riot helped open up all the later “hair” music (which I agree with) I said what about Twisted Sister? They were at the same time doing the same thing! I was in high school at the time and everyone loved both of them! How lucky you got to see Hanoi live! I was lucky enough to see Michael solo in Cleveland in a small club with no more than 200 people! It was amazing!
Could you do a video about Jack Russell and Great White? Really hit me hard regarding his passing. Glad to see the newest video! Wondering what happened to you.
Great White became that name after Shark Island hoisted oneof the Jaws Sharks that Universal Studios tossed out, on the roof of Gazzarri 's for a show. Mark Kendall looked up and said Great White that's it. Michael Guy from Shark island has tbe stories about them. He won't write a book and isn't on IG sadly
On a random note I looked up Faster pussycat and they did have a gold record it was their second album. Also cool to hear your take on this. Have a great rest of your week man!
Love your content here and in instagram boss, keep up the great work! I’m 24, so none of my peers grew up in the 80s and very few of them even know acts from that great era. Music is always evolving and people always argue what is metal and what’s not. Saying I like hair metal is pretty much the only way I can tell people I like 80s rock and metal.
As a 50 year old, I now find myself listening to the Faster Pussycat and Hanoi Rocks a lot more than the really popular bands of that era. I thought your take was good. Too bad the "Hair Metal" title likely kept certain acts from participating in the doc.
I object to it being called a "hair metal" documentary to begin with. No one called it "hair metal" back then. That was a term coined in the 90s to make fun of any 80s rock and metal band
We called it "Glam Rock or metal" or "Bubble Gum " depending on how light the music was! I started my Musical career as a Glam Rock/metal guitarist back in 87' and started growing my hair then by the time it was really full and long Nirvana hit and it wasn't cool anymore lol I still didn't cut it till 98" by then it was reminisce of Jake E. Lee Badlands hair I wouldn't have traded it all for the world!!! Greatest time of my life!
So great to hear from you. Timing couldn’t be better w the new Documentary I thought RATT got undersold episode 1. While they were def a fashion forward female friendly brand, they were every bit as Heavy as Crue or any other band within the “Genre”. Way more than just “Round & Round” Also thought the piece about Randy/Ozzy didnt really fit w the rest of the episode & felt awkward
Thank you! I agree. Ratt was way bigger than motley on the radio and were very influential and yes, they could PLAY. Much better band . They got the shaft a bit. And I agree, ozzy was not really a fit, but I understood the need to have Randy in there as he influenced all that came after him. Thank you for watching! 🙏
Hi, from Buenos Aires Argentina. Great channel, L.A.Guns fan. You have to do the equivalent to reckless road of GNR with L.A.Guns. Can you send those records in the back..? Regards!!
Btw, Sweet Pain is mentioned in the new book, "Sorry We Missed Your Call: Glam Rock." Basically a list of lesser known albums and bands that were still great but never got the recognition.
Hey Mike, was Max's Kansas City still open whilst you were active in the NYC club scene? I have a friend from Brooklyn that once saw Kiss; Aerosmith and Iggy and The Stooges in a single weekend in clubs in NYC in the 70s. Wow what a time that mustve been. Im 51 so i was a bit late to that party ......lol
Max’s was still around but it was on its last legs. We didn’t go there. That scene had moved on. But yes the late 70’s in NYC was an amazing time for music, bands and clubs. We usually went to a club called Great Gildersleeves to see bands like The Brats, Hotshot and T Roth and Another Pretty Face. Thanks for watching! 🙏
The term Hair Metal is mainly for marketing the book/series, and if you don't get caught up in the term and focus on the scene itself, then all the bands belonged. I'd argue that Motley DID have a strong female audience from the start. And yes, Faster Pussycat did go gold. Hanoi Rocks influenced the Strip far beyond GnR, as Riki Rachtman was there and said their albums were hot imports among the musicians there. Very true that Twisted Sister was criminally omitted. Imagine 1984 without them? They also failed to mention the leadership change at MTV at the same time grunge happened; leadership that despised the Sunset Strip scene and vowed never to play those bands. So no, it wasn't grunge that killed the scene. The "hair metal" bands were still getting requests from the fans, MTV just didn't care at that point and already decided who they were going to push. The grunge and hard rock audience didn't overlap as much. Grunge drew a new audience, and the rock fans either gave up and grew up or moved to country later when that whole scene blew up. Bottom line, I could watch these documentaries forever because I loved and followed the scene closely, but I've yet to see one that tells the true story accurately. Only saw the first episode so far, but where were Whitesnake and Def Leppard? Their influence and impact blew away Dokken and Great White, both of whom were heavily featured.
Hey Mike. Another kickass vid. I dont really get into the subgenres of Rock'N'Roll, other than "punkrock", or maybe glam metal. "Hair metal" to me is almost a put-down, like the music wasnt as important. Ive only seen pt1. Its like the same stories over and over again. Like you, i was around for alot of it. Im not "over it", but i wish theyd talk about the most obscure bands, faster pussycat included. But from what ive heard, they didnt. Cheers Mike. Im looking forward to reading your book one day. STAY RAD!! 🤘🦇♠️🎶🔥 -J.s.
I haven't seen the documentary, but I read, and enjoyed, the book. The whole hair-metal label is a touchy subject for a lot of these bands, and a lot of fans. I get it. I've been that guy wailing on some message board somewhere that such-and-such band isn't really a hair-metal band. But in the end, when you say "hair-metal," people know what you mean. Basically any hard rock from about 1983-1992 that was heavier than AOR but not thrash, that dressed up in metal clothes or made other gestures toward metal. I was fooling around online one time and found an interview with the guy from Lillian Axe where he denies that they were a "hair band" - and this was from 1993! I wonder when that term originated, if somebody from a third-tier band was already distancing himself from it in '93!
Nobody could touch early GNR. I only seen the 1st part of the documentary...mehhh. i agree with about everything you said. Was some cool old Motley footage but nothing new info wise. Same old shit. Hate to admit it, but in the late 80s, me and my punk buddies called a lot of the "Hair " Metal stuff Cock Rock. Lol. Some of those later bands were silly. Pretty boy Floyd or Nitro. Lol. I liked the dirty shit. Junkyard, Circus of Power, Dogsdamour and all that. I loved your book bro. Great stuff. Cheers
Tried reading the book this special was based on, got bored after sixty pages and abandoned it. I find it remarkable a book on this era didn’t include Def Leppard and Bon Jovi. If the special didn’t include Twisted Sister that’s ridiculous
I believe Hanoi Rocks influenced fashion and image a little more than music. As far back as 1984 when Motley was still pushing Shout, some of the clothing worn in interviews was very Hanoi-esque. Faster Pussycat’s first record (1987) could have said, “Hanoi Rocks” and few would know the difference based on the front cover photo and much of the music inside. GNR definitely had the Hanoi-look and sound going with the EP. Maybe some of the hair metal also-rans picked up on the Hanoi-type headband scarves, hats and jackets via GNR, but I believe many of those bands started digging on HR after the tragic accident (Razzle’s death) shined a brighter light on the band. Just my opinion, but what do I know?
I'm a HUGE Hanoi ROCKS fan and have been since the early 80s. Hanoi were in turn influenced by The Stones. The NY Dolls, Iggy, The Ramones Johnny Thunders and The Heartbreakes; etc. In fact, they wanted to call themselves Chinese Rocks but didn't wanna bite too hard off of The Heartbreakers.
tuff was the great example of hair metal formula: dime a dozen in la 1989.... the scene ate its self........ the same thing is starting to happen with country music now
Ironically there were a scant few bands that were both organically "hair" and "metal". I was a teenager in the 80s (18 in 1988) and metal was Priest,Saxon and Maiden. Hard rock was Poison,Ratt,Dokken etc. Bon Jovi really was only metallic in the guitar solos until Slippery then they became kinda middle of the road rock. 80s documentaries really never dig deep anyway.
He might not care, I don’t know. But some bands do not want to be called hair metal. I’m sure Dee doesn’t care. But twisted sister should have been included. Thanks for watching🙏
You mention you don't know any slipknot songs. Ironically one of them n most famous is called " before i forget" thought that was funny because of your channel name
Your to technical about things, a lot the bands your talking about are hair bands or hard rock, heavy metal or glam rock and other sub genres and all these bands toured together and had a lot the same fans.
Very true. But the documentary is called Nothin But a Good Time, the uncensored story of 80’s HAIR METAL. Most of those bands are not hair metal. That was the point of my video. Thanks for watching 🙏
Corey Taylor annoyed the hell out of me every time he came onscreen. That dude has to inject himself into every type of music to ever exist. Wish they left him out of it he added nothing.

The term Hair Metal was coined by journalists after Nirvana became famous to put down bands like ours in articles.
Thank you. I thought it was definitely coined in the early 90’s. Thanks for watching 🙏

So many great lesser known (and often superior) "glam, hair, sleaze, shock, etc." metal bands such as- Odin, Seduce, London, The Ultras, Creature, Glamour Punks, Willow Wisp, Wikked Gypsy, Fatal Attraction, Salems Lott, Geisha, Halloween, Diamond Rexx, Hawk, Tuff Luck, Dogs D'amour, Wrathchild (UK), Peppermint Creeps, The Zeros, Celebrity Skin, Kery Doll, Texas Vamps, Demolition Gore Galore, Lizzy Borden, Haunted Garage, etc.
