'American Hair Metal' Visual Tribute To '80s Glam Rock Glory Out Now

November 11, 2006

Feral House has just published "American Hair Metal", described by the publisher as author Steven Blush's "extravagantly visual tribute to the spandex, rouge and eyeliner days of '80s glam rock glory." According to the Feral House web site, the book celebrates this orgy of flamboyance, androgyny and animal magnetism, of big-haired alpha males and the beautiful women who surrounded them." It features "rare photographs of the biggest bands and unsung heroes surround revealing quotes about the sex, drugs and rock & roll style of '80s American hair metal." The pix (by the likes of hair-metal-lensing specialists William Haines, Frank White, and Eddie Malluk) "tell as much, if not more, of the subgenre's story as the actual music," according to Amazon.
