Sunset Strip Hair Metal

Hair metal acts didn't just cut their teeth on Hollywood's Sunset Strip—they smeared their music in its sleazy decadence. GnR capture its cutthroat depravity on “Welcome to the Jungle,” and with guitars revving like choppers, Mötley Crüe's “Girls, Girls, Girls” is a scandalous ode to backstage life. On the party jam “Nothin' But a Good Time,” Poison coat their glam metal in gooey bubblegum pop.
