About this listen

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 learn.

What's included in this band guide:

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

This book 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 scroll up and click the buy button. See you inside!

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

This audiobook feels like flipping through a quirky diary filled with strong opinions, humor, and honest moments. The A to Z format makes it easy to jump in and out, and the topics range from funny to surprisingly heartfelt. The narrator brings energy and personality, which fits the bold tone of the writing. Some parts felt a bit scattered or too fast, and would benefit from better transitions, but the overall vibe is confident and real. It’s a fun listen if you enjoy humor mixed with a little sass and reflection.

I was hooked from the first track—this guide delivers crisp, bite‑sized snapshots of bands I’d completely forgotten. The PDF’s vintage band photos felt like digging through my old record collection, and the brisk bios had me dusting off mixtapes for a retro rewind. Learning that some one‑hit wonders are still touring today genuinely blew my mind. It rekindled my love for blasting those riffs on a long drive and swapping trivia with fellow headbangers.
