Guitarist / author Sean Kelly (Lee Aaron, Coney Hatch, Helix, Nelly Furtado, Crash Kelly) will be at Steve’s Music in Montreal, Quebec on July 19th for a free, in-store appearance. Call Steve’s at 514-878-2216 for more information (long distance charges may apply). A statement from Sean reads:
“Montreal! Come hang with me and Glen Booth on Saturday, July 19th from 2pm-5pm at Steve’s Music 150 Rue Ste. Catherine E for a FREE Jackson / Charvel guitar clinic! Proud and honoured to be helping this legendary Canadian music retailer celebrate 60 years of serving musicians! We’ll be talking all things ‘80s rock, and I’ll also be signing copies of my ECW Press book, Don’t Call It Hair Metal, and rocking a few riffs! Hope to see you there!”
Don’t Call It Hair Metal: Art In The Excess Of ’80s Rock is a 312-page paperback book published by ECW Press in May 2023. The official description reads:
A love letter to the hard-rocking, but often snubbed, music of the era of excess: the 1980s
There may be no more joyous iteration in all of music than 1980s hard rock. It was an era where the musical and cultural ideals of rebellion and freedom of the great rock ’n’ roll of the ’50s, ’60s, and ’70s were taken to dizzying heights of neon excess. Attention to songcraft, showmanship, and musical virtuosity (especially in the realm of the electric guitar) were at an all-time high, and radio and MTV were delivering the goods en masse to the corn-fed children of America and beyond.
Time hasn’t always been kind to artists of that gold and platinum era, but Don’t Call It Hair Metal analyzes the sonic evolution, musical diversity, and artistic intention of ’80s commercial hard rock through interviews with members of such hard rock luminaries as Twisted Sister, Def Leppard, Poison, Whitesnake, Ratt, Skid Row, Quiet Riot, Guns N’ Roses, Dokken, Mr. Big, and others.
