So you were out driving in your car the other day listening to the radio when a song from one of your favorite 1980s bands came on. You started singing along, and you found yourself wondering what happened to them. I loved that band. Well, look no further!

Did you know there were probably close to 170 hair/glam/heavy metal bands in the 1980s and early 1990s? A few of these bands even became super groups, but many just faded into obscurity, or so you thought.

In this small guide, you'll find information about many of your favorite bands. Such things as how they started. Where are they now? Are they still playing, or even recording? You may be surprised by what you hear.

What's included in this band guide:

• Band Images
• Band History
• Band Members
• Band Albums
• Band Music Bonus

This audiobook is not meant to be a band biography; it's a condensed guide of fun facts and information. If you are curious about what happened to that band you heard on the radio the other day, then download this audiobook!

All you need to know about hair metal!

This book is basically the first half of an 80s metal encyclopedia, featuring bands that start with the letters A-M. You can learn about any of the bands you missed, complete with a music sample, or skip to the chapters on your favorites for details and a refresher. I opted to listen to them all. Most of the bands I'd never heard of. The narrator's up-tempo, nerdy delivery is perfect for the book, bringing a lively energy that keeps the reader engaged. The chapters are short and packed with album and song facts as well as chart performance data. The end of each chapter provides the complete roster for the band's entire career.
