Jeff Tremaine Talks Hair Metal, And Directing The Documentary Series Nothin’ But A Good Time
Jeff Tremaine Is A Legend And Cult Hero It's Terrie Carr and as you know I interview A LOT of people. Mostly rockstars, but when I mentioned to a few folks that Jeff Tremaine was coming on, I could not believe the response! "THE JEFF TREMAINE?" Jeff is a Director of TV and Film, Producer and Screenwriter. But his resume runs deep. Jeff came on to discuss the amazing new documentary series - "Nothin' But A Good Time- The Uncensored History Of 80's Hair Metal" streaming now on Paramount Plus - (based on the book by Tom Beaujour and Richard Bienstock) https://www.paramountplus.com/home/ which Jeff Directed and Executive Produced, but Jeff's work has been the voice of a generation. Jeff created "Jackass", (and Directed and Produced the movie franchise) , gave us "Rob and Big", "Ridiculousness", "Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory" , Motley Crue's "The Dirt" and countless other TV and film projects and made names like Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O and Bam Margera household names. He created a new genre of "Extreme Reality TV" and continues to expand his portfolio with his company "Gorilla Flicks"- And now- He brings us back to the glory days of 80's Hair Metal! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymR2F7OXqPU I Love The 80's- I Was A Total Hair Metal Maniac!

TC and Mike Tramp of White Lion (and our hair) [/caption] I loved the 80's Hair Bands and still do, so when I heard that there was a book chronicling the 80's called "Nothin' But A Good Time, The Uncensored History Of 80's Hair Metal" I ordered it, and read it in two days. It's amazing. Then what happens? They decide to turn it into a 3 part documentary series and Jeff and his company Gorilla Flicks stepped in to get it done. And get it done they did! [caption id="attachment_793304" align="alignnone" width="225"] A Must Read For 80's Hair Metal Lovers [/caption] The series is broken down into three parts- The Sunset Strip The Second Wave The Final Chapter And chronicles the rise, fall and rise again of the 80's Hair Metal scene and why we love it. The excess, the movement, and a time in the rock community we will never see again. The interviews with artists, managers, producers and the architects of the 80's sound are insightful, hilarious, touching, shocking and entertaining. The stories and cartoon vignettes are vintage Jeff Tremaine! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBXimZy7VL0 Check Out The "Nothin' But A Good Time" Series Trailer Check out more of my 80's related content in the links below!
