Paramount+ has announced it has ordered a new three-part docuseries, Nöthin’ But A Good Time: The Uncensored Story Of ‘80s Hair Metal, directed by Jeff Tremaine, co-creator of Jackass.
Named after Poison's 1988 hit "Nothin' But a Good Time," the series will be based on Tom Beaujour and Richard Bienstock's 2021 oral history book, Nöthin' But a Good Time: The Uncensored History of the '80s Hard Rock Explosion.
The series will go deep into the golden age of '80s hair metal, interviewing major players from the scene including Bret Michaels (Poison), Stephen Pearcy (Ratt), Nuno Bettencourt (Extreme), Dave “Snake'' Sabo (Skid Row), and Riki Rachtman (MTV's Headbangers Ball), along with insight from Corey Taylor (Slipknot) and Steve-O (Jackass).
The press release states that “the series delivers a fresh and shockingly candid behind-the-scenes look at one of music’s most iconic eras. Each episode showcases the insanity and blazing ambition that has enthralled generations of music lovers and continues to influence culture to this day.”
In a statement Tremaine describes the docuseries "is a celebration of the most outrageous decade in rock n’ roll. It’s my love letter to the ‘80s."
Of course, Tremaine is no stranger to this period of rock history, having directed the film adaptation of Mötley Crüe's biopic, The Dirt.
