The docuseries 'Nöthin’ But a Good Time: The Uncensored Story of ’80s Hair Metal', directed by Jeff Tremaine, premieres on Paramount+ on September 17, 2024. Based on the book by Tom Beaujour and Richard Bienstock, the three-part series chronicles the rise and fall of hair metal bands like Mötley Crüe and Quiet Riot through interviews with key figures from the era, including Bret Michaels and Stephen Pearcy. While the series captures the wild excess and notorious lifestyles of the genre, critics note it lacks depth compared to previous documentaries on the same subject, focusing more on nostalgia than critical insight. Anecdotes shared by artists highlight the debauchery that defined the scene, yet the overall presentation is described as somewhat formulaic. Tremaine aims to evoke the spirit of the 1980s music culture, though some reviews suggest it may not resonate with viewers seeking a more analytical take on the genre's impact. Despite mixed reviews, the series is positioned as a celebration of a pivotal era in rock history, appealing to fans of hair metal.
