“We’re not ashamed of a little hairspray and makeup. We’ve always said it takes a real man to wear makeup.”—Bret Michaels, Poison There was a time—not so long ago—when pomp and spandex dominated MTV and pop radio playlists. Nearly 20 years after the first edition, people can't get enough hair metal!  The new expanded edition of American Hair Metal  visually celebrates this orgy of flamboyance, androgyny, and animal magnetism, of big-haired alpha males and the beautiful women who surrounded them. Interest in hair metal is currently exploding—witness arena-level revival tours, reissue compilations, and documentaries and docudramas that revisit the excesses of the eighties and nineties. Hundreds of striking photographs are complimented by hedonistic ephemera from bands like Poison, Cinderella, Mötley Crüe, Skid Row, and Stryper. Wild quotes from major players such as David Lee Roth, Jon Bon Jovi, Sebastian Bach, Tommy Lee, Nikki Sixx, Bret Michaels, Don Dokken, and many unsung heroes. The expanded edition includes more photos, more quotes, and a new introduction by Chip Z’Nuff (Enuff Z’Nuff) and an interview with Rik Fox (WASP, Steeler).
Autorenporträt
STEVEN BLUSH has written seven books about rock music and pop culture. His journalism has appeared in over 50 publications, such as Spin, Details, Interview, Village Voice, and The Times Of London, and for years was a contributing editor to Paper Magazine. Blush got his start in the early 80s promoting punk rock shows in Washington, DC, and then moved to NYC in 1986, where he published 52 issues of Seconds Magazine through 2000. He worked as a nightclub DJ/promoter, noted for his sound designs for fashion designer Stephen Sprouse, and “Röck Cändy” parties at Don Hill’s (1999-2006). He wrote and produced the theatrically released Sundance Film Festival-premiered documentary American Hardcore (Sony Pictures Classics, 2006). In 2010, Feral House published an expanded Second Edition of the American Hardcore book, now available in four languages. His follow-up film with director Paul Rachman, Lost Rockers, about great forgotten musicians, came out in 2017.
