From 1983 until 1991, Glam Metal was the sound of American culture. This was the world stalked by bands like Bon Jovi, Kiss, W.A.S.P., Skid Row, Dokken, Motley Crue, Cinderella, Ratt and many more. Big hair, massive amplifiers, drugs, alcohol, piles of money and life-threatening pyrotechnics. Armed with hairspray, spandex and strangely shaped guitars, they marked the last great era of supersize bands.
Where did Glam Metal come from? How did it spread? What killed it off? And why does nobody admit to having been a Glam Metaller anymore? Justin Quirk seeks to answer all those questions in “Nothin’ But A Good Time”.
Justin Quirk is an award-winning writer, editor and broadcaster from London. He first wrote for the Guardian’s music pages when he was nineteen and began contributing to Kerrang! shortly afterwards as a reviewer. Since then he has written for everyone from Arena and Esquire to The Times, Sunday Times and the Independent about art, music and culture, regularly appears on the BBC World Service and Soho Radio, and DJs at places such as Spiritland and Merchant’s Tavern in London.
