A love letter to the hard-rocking, but often snubbed, music of the era of excess: the 1980s

There may be no more joyous iteration in all of music than 1980s hard rock. It was an era where the musical and cultural ideals of rebellion and freedom of the great rock 'n' roll of the '50s, '60s, and '70s were taken to dizzying heights of neon excess. Attention to songcraft, showmanship, and musical virtuosity (especially in the realm of the electric guitar) were at an all-time high, and radio and MTV were delivering the goods en masse to the corn-fed children of America and beyond.

Time hasn't always been kind to artists of that gold and platinum era, but Don't Call It Hair Metal analyzes the sonic evolution, musical diversity, and artistic intention of '80s commercial hard rock through interviews with members of such hard rock luminaries as Twisted Sister, Def Leppard, Poison, Whitesnake, Ratt, Skid Row, Quiet Riot, Guns N' Roses, Dokken, Mr. Big, and others.

An interesting book but targeted at those in the know. I was hoping this would lead the uninitiated into the whole scene but most of the time it assumes the reader already knows most of the bands, musicians and other players. This is even my time period, or at least the later part of it is, only I wasn’t all that into this type of music so much of the references didn’t hit with me.
Still it was interesting and the real value is in all the interviews and direct quotes, with fun anecdotes and tidbits.

Hair Metal!

Loved the behind the scenes information and how the industry worked back then. I was a teen into early adult during this time and knew alot of the stories. I appreciated the behind the scenes info with the bands and some of how they actually felt about the time period and transition to grunge.
I’ve listed to several of these books about the time period and the author here has done a great job of capturing our mutual love of the genre. His delivery and cadence were very easy to listen to, very enable!

Very interesting material, super performance

I love hearing how bands were formed and how people living the times actually felt about them. Not the sex and drugs- just the rock and roll. Must read for all 80s rock fans.

I really enjoyed this book. I’ve always been a huge fan of the 80s rock scene. The author, being a musician himself, dove deep into the history of 80s rock and pulled out some great behind the scenes stories, commentary on playing styles (notably the guitar), and included cool interview segments from notables of that era.

A Blast if you Love 80s Rock

very technical with a lot of industry terms and jargon, almost a text book he would make a good teacher ,but I'm not a student

do not listen while driving

for starters I don't think calling music hair metal makes any sense every band had long hair at least most of the members of the Bands had long hair. and we can argue if all of these bands are actually metal bands or hard rock bands and which ones were Glam and which ones weren't. that being said I think the author should have put a disclaimer if you're not a musician you may not understand a lot of this book when he gets into more technical talk being around musicians for years I understand it I can't play it and no I'm not a drummer LOL. it is a very intelligent read on a subject you don't think of being intelligent most of these bands wrote material about kind of moronic things women drugs alcohol partying Etc. but yes there is another side to it and some of these Tunes did stand the test of time and still get radio play today because they are part of classic rock. even if their hair didn't stand the test at time I know how that feels. it's a decent book but as a Canadian you wouldn't mention the band killer dwarfs just once they weren't Glam but they definitely had an impact in the metal scene in the mid 80s. and I get to see them for the first time at the end of August. so I definitely recommend it you may have to use a search engine to look up some of the technical terms in music but it's better than the title infers

isn't it all hair metal?

Shows a great passion for the genre and ups and downs. Highly recommended for anyone who loves music!

Great Book which is well researched and Delivered

The writer won't win any converts here. but if you listened to hard rock in the 70s 80s and 90s then this book is a relatable recap. Sometimes he focuses more on his friends, but the stories are ok and there's enough here about big acts to hold interest, as long as you know the bands being discussed.

Solid history

Fantastic book with great stories and insights. He really did his homework and allows the reader to truly appreciate the industry. I grew up with all of this and was wonderful to experience through real eyes. Highly recommend!!!!!

Must read for any musician or music lover
