Young And Wild - A Decade Of American Glam Metal 1982-1992

For millions of kids around the world, American glam rock (maybe it was called hair metal where you lived) brought a much-needed splash of color and excitement to the 1980s. With L.A. and Hollywood at its core, the scene saw increasingly wild bands from across the USA reach a global audience, taking with them wardrobes full of leather, Lycra, stiletto heels, bandanas, and make-up.

As much bubblegum theatre as it was rock ‘n roll, many of these bands nevertheless lived the lifestyle to its limits, somehow remaining able to play and tour the world. Scoring global hit after global hit with million-selling iconic albums and chart-busting singles, the likes of Poison, Kiss, David Lee Roth, Twisted Sister, and Skid Row fused anti-social punk attitude, androgynous sex appeal, expert musicianship, and hook-laden pop-rock, drawing in everybody from the serious rock and metal crowd to teenyboppers and their parents.

Inescapably the sound of America and beyond throughout that era, many of these bands endure today, their ongoing appeal proof of the solid records at the heart of it all. Youth Gone Wild takes us on a chronological journey through that time and place, taking in smash hits and lesser-known tracks, household names and underground cult favorites.

A must-hear time capsule for those that were there, and a vital entry point for younger listeners drawn to the bright lights and stadium appeal of these now legendary bands.
