Hair Metal Didn’t Die – It Got Sold Out: Bret’s Delayed Dirt, KISS M&M’s, and Mike Tramp’s Denmark Gas Station Tour (2009)
Hair Metal Didn’t Die – It Got Sold Out: Bret’s Delayed Dirt, KISS M&M’s, and Mike Tramp’s Denmark Gas Station Tour (2009)
The 80s hairband scene didn’t die because the music got bad; it died because it became a soulless corporate product, and the “news” we see today is just a continuation of that fraud. We took a deep dive into the latest “updates” from the hair metal world, and it’s a total bloodbath of substance vs. filler.
From Bret Michaels pushing back his autobiography—likely to squeeze in more “nutty stories” from reality TV—to KISS turning Walmart into a “KISS Corner” filled with M&Ms and Potato Heads, the legacy of this genre is being sold off piece by piece to the highest bidder. It’s a joke. We even see the remnants of White Lion being rebranded as “Mike Tramp’s White Lion” for a tour of Denmark—a country you can cross in half a day. Is this about the music? Never. It’s about the brand.
