Praise for Nothin' But A Good Time:
"A backstage pass to the wildest and loudest party in rock history―you'll feel like you were right there with us!" ―Bret Michaels of Poison
"Beginning with the early days of Quiet Riot and Van Halen, the book takes the reader through glam’s ascent from L.A. clubs to arenas everywhere, spending equal time on Crüe-style debauchery and the behind-the-scenes business that made these bands superstars, through the arrival of Nirvana, which turned the hair metal craze into poison overnight." ―Booklist
"Lively, comprehensive... An engrossing deep dive into a lurid, free-wheeling monument in pop music." ―Kirkus
"Revolver cofounder Beaujour and former Guitar World editor Bienstock give heavy metal a flamboyant retrospective in this raucous oral history...Metalheads and those with a fondness for the over-the-top antics that marked the genre and era are in for a treat." ―Publishers Weekly
"Tom and Rich ― the two music journalists most likely to be called as expert witnesses in a court case about hair metal ― have compiled a fun, funny, and frightening chronicle of the so-called 'Decade of Decadence' with interviews from every major player in the scene." ―Kory Grow, Rolling Stone
“Sure, there’s plenty of sex, drugs and rock & roll but, like the best rock books, Nöthin' But a Good Time is really about people and their stories. Those stories attest to the power of hard work, ambition, friendship and community. And that's what makes this hilarious, sordid and deeply researched book so inspiring.” ―Michael Azerrad, author of Our Band Could Be Your Life: Scenes from the American Indie Underground 1981-1991 and Come As You Are: The Story of Nirvana
"No stone is left unturned in this deep dive into the bands you love, and the bands you love to hate. This book goes to 11." ―Katherine Turman, co-author, Louder Than Hell: The Definitive Oral History of Metal
