    <![CDATA[<p> 				<br/>&quot;We're not ashamed of a little hairspray and makeup. We've always said it takes a real man to wear makeup.&quot;-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>]]>
