SOUNDTRACK: Hmmm….
There’s so much to choose from to go with this book. And yet, despite how much I loved metal in high school, I really didn’t like hair metal at all. In fact, when looking at the bands listed at the end of this book, there were very few that I own or intentionally listened to.
The bands that I liked in this book were: Ratt and Whitesnake. I also liked Motley Crue’s first two records, but I gave up on them once their makeup went from Kiss to CoverGirl. Nevertheless, I’m not going to review any of that music here, I’m just going to let you soak in the beauty of this book.

My brother-in-law received this book for Christmas. And he proudly showed it to me when we were visiting this weekend. I was immediately hooked, and rather than just flipping through the photos as I thought I might, I actually read the thing cover to cover.
