Paramount+ has released a trailer for the upcoming documentary series ‘Nöthin' But A Good Time: The Uncensored Story Of '80s Hair Metal’ – and it looks like it’s going to be pretty wild.

The series is based on Richard Bienstock and Tom Beaujour's 2021 book of the same name and is directed by Jeff Tremaine, best-known for ‘Jackass’ and Mötley Crüe biopic ‘The Dirt’.

It’s an interview and action-packed oral history of the 80s glam-metal explosion, featuring contributions from the likes of Poison, Def Leppard, Guns N' Roses, Quiet Riot, Skid Row, W.A.S.P., Great White and many more.

"In the '80s, it was an exciting time in music — it was amazing," Poison’s Bret Michaels says in the trailer. "We bet on ourselves, and when it paid off, it was awesome."

L.A. Guns guitarist Tracii Guns adds: "I feel like I'm gonna die, so I probably shouldn't be doing this band."

The official description reads: “Go inside the ‘80s hair metal phenomenon that enthralled generations of music lovers and still influences culture today. Directed by Jeff Tremaine (jackass, The Dirt), the three-part series showcases the notoriously wild ’80s hard rock phenomenon and features interviews with those who lived it, including Bret Michaels, Stephen Pearcy, Nuno Bettencourt, Dave "Snake" Sabo and Riki Rachtman, along with Corey Taylor and Steve-O, among many others.”

‘Nöthin' But a Good Time: The Uncensored Story of ‘80s Hair Metal’ premieres 17th September on Paramount+.
