Welcome to the Hair Metal special! This is also known as Jim's Day Off and Matt's Dream Episode. Originally intended to be a derogatory reference, "Hair Metal" has been a label embraced by loyal fans for over 3 decades. On this episode, Matt and Jim dive into the history and influences of hair metal. They discuss when they think it peaked and what else besides the rise of grunge led to its demise. Matt has a name-dropping marathon as he reconnects to the music that helped define the core of his musical journey. Oh, but sorry Sandy, he forgot to mention Europe.
