We've always said it takes a real man to wear makeup."-Bret Michaels, Poison (1988) </p> <p> <br>There was a time-not so long ago-when pomp and spandex dominated MTV and pop radio playlists. <em>American Hair Metal</em> visually celebrates this orgy of flamboyance, androgyny, and animal magnetism, of big-haired alpha males and the beautiful women who surrounded them. </p> <p> <br>Hundreds of striking photographs are surrounded by hedonistic ephemera from bands like Poison, Cinderella, Motley Crue, Skid Row, and Stryper, and wild inter-view 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 heroes. </p> <p> <br>Interest in hair metal is currently exploding-witness the barrage of VH1 specials, arena-level revival tours, and reissue compilations that are even today best-selling CDs.</p> 88098 1 10 2006 American Hair Metal total:20|5:1|4:1|3:0|2:0|1:0| 20 83 29 9 5 0 false false Fri Oct 23 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 25 11:29:50 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 25 11:42:57 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Wed Jul 11 17:40:14 -0700 2007 Wed Jul 11 17:59:46 -0700 2007 The outfits; the swollen bits of spandex; the hair -it's all so...
