Episode #21: Tales From the Bargain Bin #2 - Pretty Boy Floyd's Leather Boyz with Electric Toyz
Hair metal was perhaps the defining musical genre of the 80s. Flashy fashion, arena ready anthems, and of course, YUGE hair. We all remember the Crues, the Jovis, the Poisons, but there were many other groups of spandex and makeup adorned young men who got onto record store shelves but never headlined arenas, collected platinum discs, or had so many groupies they needed to create a database. In this episode, Roger looks at one such band and the album they released in the waning days of the genre, when the Headbanger's Ball was closing in on midnight. Who were these Leather Boyz? What were their Electric Toyz? Were they at all influenced by Motley Crue? And how could a major label career that began on the soundtrack of the third Karate Kid movie not lead to superstardom? Find out in the Old Man's second thrilling Tale From the Bargain Bin.
