You can’t fault Jetboy on concept. The 80s were littered with bands that tried to merge snotty punk rock with glam metal, and it was usually a snooze (TSOL) or an outright disaster (Discharge), but Jetboy really looked like they were gonna nail it. Outta the gate, they seemed a lot more with-it than most of the tatterdemalions haunting the Strip in the late 80’s.
For one thing, they named themselves after a New York Dolls song. Pick up an old Creem sometime; most of the glam metal bands in operation never even mentioned the Dolls, despite their crucial influence on literally every aspect of that scene. So they had that going for them.
