During glam metal's glitter-dusted heyday, Sunset Strip clubs like The Whisky A Go Go, The Cathouse and The Roxy seemed like the centre of the musical universe, locations for a non-stop party where careers were made and broken in-between pool parties and wet t-shirt contests.
It was incestuous, with band members jumping from one group of hopefuls to the next before settling where they were most suited. Slash from Guns N' Roses almost ended up in Poison. LA Guns guitarist Tracii Guns played with Axl Rose and Izzy Stradlin in Hollywood Rose, and with Nikki Sixx in Brides Of Destruction.
