And if some of the bands that moved to the city circa 80 or ’81 felt unwelcome at first, it was nothing compared to the arrivals of ’87 and onward, in search of fame, fun and fortune, the music itself playing second fiddle.

Locals such as (transplanted from Washington) Ann Boleyn of Hellion and Bitch’s Betsy Bitch reaped an array of rewards, feeling empowered on stage, earning the respect of fans and male co-combatants, collecting the horror stories of unpaid door takings and unscrupulous management that were common to all. The Rainbow and Gazzarri’s were ground zero, both inside and on the sidewalks out front. Dudes handing out flyers to gaggles of girls tottering on sky-high pumps was at once a conversation-starting mating dance and a sales-pitch mass ritual, lubricated by beer, bravado and blind ambition. Bound for Hell: On the Sunset Strip” is a masterpiece on that era and not just for hardcore fans. It is so well done that it could easily be considered an art project as it is a musical one. Just the old fliers and ads for clubs are fun to look through and was where I saw “the one thing” I really wish I hadn’t missed: Seeing Slayer open for Bitch at the Roxy for SEVEN DOLLARS. DAMN! And as for the music, what can I say. I mean Armored Saint is in it, what more do you want?
