Summary: Long Live Glam!!!!!!!
Review: Great Pictures of some of the great forgotten bands of the 80s. This book is a must for people who lived or was in a band through the era and for people who would love to know more on those underground Glam Sleaze Bands. Well worth it.

Summary: Stellar Book
Review: I knew this book would be cool, but after opening it I really felt like I was living on The Sunset Strip all over again... I had to get my husband to go in my storage and bust out my Guns and Roses T-Shirt and my studded belt....

Summary: Glam For Life!!!
Review: This book is well worth the price for just the flyers alone. It is thick and large and in full exploding rock and roll color!! Many good Los Angeles bands are featured (Janes Addiction), and a few that never broke big but are still around (Rebel Rebel), and that is what makes this book the bomb. A Box Set CD and DVD companion will be out in 2005, featuring all the bands in the book. This book lets everyone in on the lifestyle that was the Sunset Strip during that time the 80's to 1990. I'm sorry I hadn't thought of the Idea first!!!

Review: This is the Ultimate Guide To The 1980's Hollywood, California, Rock-N-Roll Scene! Over 1,000 images were compiled to produce this visual shrine of hair, make up and rock n' roll attitude! This is the best book ever about the Hollywood scene in the 80s. A killer look at the inside of the sleaze underground of Glam Metal Rock n' Roll and it's heart. If you have any roots in Glam Metal, or love Guns, Motley, W.A.S.P, Stryper, Dokken, Warrant, Ratt, The Zeros, Poison, L.A. Guns, Van Halen or countless others then you'll absolutely love this book. The book is 9.5 x 11.75 inches and is a coffee table style book. if you were on the strip back in the day or just a fan of those bands, then this is your yearbook! The book itself is hardbound in black with a silver silkscreen of the cover image and title on it, is very nice. It's full color and has over 200 pages with many pages containing multiple photos, flyers, ticket stubs, advertisements, bios, interviews, and more.
