Who features in Nöthin’ But A Good Time and what will it be about?

The three-part docuseries - which is based on the book of the same name by Tom Beaujour and Richard Bienstock - promises to tell the "uncensored story of '80s hair metal". It will feature some of the era's biggest players, including Poison, Def Leppard, Guns N' Roses, Skid Row, Quiet Riot, and W.A.S.P.

Though the start of the trailer makes the sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll look mighty fun, it also will no doubt look at the pitfalls and tragedies that came along with it.

The show will feature contributions and interviews from the likes of Poison's Bret Michaels, Skid Row's Dave 'Snake' Sabo, Ratt's Stephen Pearcy, W.A.S.P drummer Steve Riley, L.A Guns' Tracii Guns, Extreme’s Nuno Bettencourt Slipknot's Corey Taylor, Jackass' Steve-O and more.

The series is also helmed by Jeff Tremaine, the director of the 2019 Mötley Crüe biopic The Dirt.
