**Did you know that other than playing the guitar and singing, Zakk Wylde (Ozzy & Black Label Society) plays the piano as well? Check out "The Last Goodbye". It's amazing. ​**
**Jeff Scott Soto  singer for Yngwie Malmsteen, Talisman, SOTO & Sons of Apollo, recorded the soundtrack for the early 90's cartoon "Biker Mice from Mars"?**
**Def Leppard's album 'Hysteria' (1987) is one of only a few albums in rock history that created not one, not two, not three, but SEVEN hit singles?? "Animal", "Rocket", "Pour Some Sugar on Me", "Women", "Hysteria", "Armageddon It" & "Love Bites"...no wonder this album is their best selling album to date. It has sold more than 20 MILLION copies worldwide. This album also remained on the album charts for three years!! That is beyond impressive!!**
** Black Sabbath's song "Paranoid" was written in 20 minutes? When they were finished recording the album of the same name, they had 3 minutes left to fill. Tony Iommi busted out a guitar lick and the song was born . Lucky for them, this song is regarded as one of the greatest rock/heavy metal songs of all time!**
** Sebastian Bach wrote the song "Wasted Time" about former Gn'R drummer, Steven Adler? Adler had been addicted to heroin along with other drugs such as marijuana, ecstasy and cocaine. He was fired from Gn'R in 1990 because of poor performances. In the song, the lyrics "You said you'd never let me down, but the horse stampedes and rages in the name of desperation", was to signify just how out of control Adler really was.**
**The cover artist, Derek Riggs, of Iron Maiden's album, "Powerslave" inserted secret messages into his artwork such as Mickey Mouse and the phrases "Bollocks" & "Indiana Jones was here"?**

**Did you know that Dizzy Dean Davidson's (Britny Fox) 2nd band, Blackeyed Susan had an unreleased album of only demos? "Just a Taste" was the name of the album and was finished in 1992.**

The has never been a time when pretty boys were as popular as the 80s. Whether your favorite was blonde or brunette these guys wore more makeup than we did and they were still the sexiest men we'd ever seen.

Nowhere else has been such a part of a music genre than the infamous Sunset Strip. I like to call these glam bands that made the strip the place to be Sunset Strip Sleaze. Beginning in the late 70s and early 80s the Strip was home to many bands, some made it, some didn't. Quiet Riot emerged as a signed band in the eraly 80s, then the scened explodied with Motley Crue, then Guns N Roses, then Poison and all the bands in between that handed out flyers, and worked the strip in the quest for a recording contract!

​This section of the site is dedicated to the glam scene; the pretty, the sleazy, the gritty and the outrageous.
​When the look was as important as the music, we remember. we want to bring that feeling back to all of you. 

These "Cover Girl" wearing "Aqua Net" addicts were rockin' out on stage in leather and spandex, crooning soulful ballads and giving us all a taste of raunchy, sleazy, sex, drugs, and rock'n roll each and every day. 

Whether we were going to concerts striving for backstage passes, buying Metal Edge magazines and decorating our rooms, staying up late to watch Headbangers Ball ,or cruising the mall with walkmans in hand to buy the latest cassette from our favorite bands the teenage population in the 80s were a driving force in the music world. 

Now we're the moms and dads striving to introduce our spawn to the best musci ever made. It's been a thrill for me to introduce my sons to my music and even more exciting when one of them hears a song playing on our station  asks who is that and what's the song so I can get it. They can name some  bands and songs with just a few lines. or a guitar riff. This love of the music we gtew up on  and the pleasure of introducing others to it and to bands they may not know about is why we have this station and website. 

Each of the 3 of us have slightly different tastes in hair metal which means you'll get a taste of the harder stuff, sthe sleazier stuff, the popular tunes and the unknown bands on The Manamal!
