The DLR Cast - Episode 29: Author Tom Beaujour ("Nothin' But A Good Time")

This week's interview is with Tom Beaujour, co-author -- along with Richard Bienstock -- of the awesome new book, "Nothin' But A Good Time: The Uncensored History of the 80's Hard Rock Explosion." Its the definitive, no-holds-barred oral history of 1980s hard rock and hair metal, told by the musicians and industry insiders who lived it. Darren and Tom get into the influence Van Halen and David Lee Roth had on this scene, the scene itself in Southern California, and much more.

At the top, Steve and Darren discuss the ridiculousness of the Grammys and their lame "tribute" to Eddie Van Halen and Wolgang's response. Also, was Michael Anthony going to join Dave onstage at a show last year?  And, Paul Stanley's Soul Station and how Diamond Dave should/could have done something similar, years before.

"Nothin' But A Good Time: The Uncensored History of the 80's Hard Rock Explosion" is available online and at your favorite independent bookstore.
