The New York Times BestsellerThe Explosive National Bestseller"A backstage pass to the wildest and loudest party in rock history—you'll feel like you were right there with us!" —Bret Michaels of PoisonNothin' But a Good Time is the definitive, no-holds-barred oral history of 1980s hard rock and hair metal, told by the musicians and industry insiders who lived it. Hard rock in the 1980s was a hedonistic and often intensely creative wellspring of escapism that perfectly encapsulated—and maybe even helped to define—a spectacularly over-the-top decade. Indeed, fist-pumping hits like Twisted Sister’s “We’re Not Gonna Take It,” Mötley Crüe’s “Girls, Girls, Girls,” and Guns N’ Roses’ “Welcome to the Jungle” are as inextricably linked to the era as Reaganomics, Pac-Man, and E.T.From the do-or-die early days of self-financed recordings and D.I.Y. concert productions that were as flashy as they were foolhardy, to the multi-Platinum, MTV-powered glory years of stadium-shaking anthems and chart-topping power ballads, to the ultimate crash when grunge bands like Nirvana forever altered the entire climate of the business, Tom Beaujour and Richard Bienstock's Nothin' But a Good Time captures the energy and excess of the hair metal years in the words of the musicians, managers, producers, engineers, label executives, publicists, stylists, costume designers, photographers, journalists, magazine publishers, video directors, club bookers, roadies, groupies, and hangers-on who lived it. Featuring an impassioned foreword by Slipknot and Stone Sour vocalist and avowed glam metal fanatic Corey Taylor, and drawn from over 200 new interviews with members of Van Halen, Mötley Crüe, Poison, Guns N’ Roses, Skid Row, Bon Jovi, Ratt, Twisted Sister, Winger, Warrant, Cinderella, Quiet Riot and others, as well as Ozzy Osbourne, Lita Ford and many more, this is the ultimate, uncensored, and often unhinged chronicle of a time where excess and success walked hand in hand, told by the men and women who created a sound and style that came to define a musical era—one in which the bands and their fans went looking for nothin’ but a good time…and found it.

This is well done compilation of anecdotes from that era.A "Please Kill Me" for another genre and scene.If you liked that book, you'll enjoy this.A wealth of knowledge and insider stories from the people who actually lived them, all first hand.Most of them funny, some sad, but all entertaining.A must read for any fan of the genre and times.Even for non-specific fans but people who enjoy music in general.That's the positive side but there is a gaping, glaring flaw.Arguably, the two biggest artists who defined that era are relegated to essentially asides and footnotes.Bon Jovi personified that era and without question, was the biggest success.Slippery When Wet was the 80s equivalent of Carole King's Tapestry.Not only that, but they were able to escape the stigma and actually became more successful post 80s.Not much on the band except within the context of Skid Row, who fill more pages than they should.Also missing is Def Leppard and the gigantic influence of both Pyromania and Hysteria.Pyromania opened the door, there is no question about that, and Slippery When Wet blew the door off the hinges.Hysteria became a sonic and songwriting standard never to be topped.So little on these two bands that it makes you wonder if the issue was they declined to contribute or be interviewed.That's the only possible excuse for such a glaring omission.It's like leaving Tom Brady out of a book about the Patriots.Some of the acts in the book fall into the "No one cared then and no one cares now" category.Still fun reads but a shoulder shrug at best.And where is Richard Black and Shark Island?Anyone from that time, especially those on the Strip, are acutely aware Axl stole everything from Richard, and even admits it.The pluses outweigh the minuses.A good read nonetheless.
