Their music, their clothes, their hair, their behavior: all over the top of over the top. They were the hard-rockin' heroes of the pre-grunge '80s, when decadence wasn't just allowed but fully expected. As uncensored as it says it as and as deliciously entertaining as you want it to be, this big new book draws on interviews with Ozzy Osbourne, Lita Ford, members of Van Halen, Mötley Crüe, Poison, Guns N' Roses, Twisted Sister, Quiet Riot, Skid Row, Ratt, Warrant and more. You'll also get the perspectives of the band managers, producers, publicists, stylists, photographers, roadies and groupies who were along for the wild ride! (Written by Tom Beaujour and Richard Bienstock.) Hardcover. 560 pages. St. Martin's Press.
