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 \u003ci\u003eE.T\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom 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 \u003ci\u003eNothin' But a Good Time\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFeaturing an impassioned foreword by Slipknot and Stone Sour vocalist and avowed glam metal fanatic Corey Taylor, and drawn from over two hundred author 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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTOM BEAUJOUR is a journalist and co-founder and former editor-in-chief of \u003ci\u003eRevolver\u003c\/i\u003e, America's premier hard rock and heavy metal monthly.
