Description
A love letter to the hard-rocking music of the 1980s, Don't Call It Hair Metal delves into the sonic evolution, musical diversity, and artistic intention of commercial hard rock during that era. Through interviews with key figures from the era, including Twisted Sister, Def Leppard, Poison, and many others, the book analyzes the musical and cultural ideals of rebellion and freedom that defined the genre. The 1980s were a time of great excess and creativity in rock music, with artists pushing the boundaries of songcraft, showmanship, and musical virtuosity. This book explores the highs and lows of that era, shedding light on the artistic intentions and musical diversity of the time. With its unique blend of historical context and behind-the-scenes insights, Don't Call It Hair Metal offers a fresh perspective on the music that defined a generation.
