Based on Tom Beaujour and Richard Bienstock’s book N?thin’ But a Good Time: The Uncensored History of the ’80s Hard Rock Explosion, the three-part series is directed by Jeff Tremaine, who directed Jackass and Motley Crue movie The Dirt.

It tells the story of the notoriously wild ’80s hard rock phenomenon, largely coming from LA’s Sunset Strip, and features interviews with rock stars that lived it and survived, including Bret Michaels, Stephen Pearcy, Nuno Bettencourt, Dave “Snake” Sabo and Riki Rachtman, along with Corey Taylor and Steve-O.

The series is produced by Tremaine’s Gorilla Flicks, Wheelhouse’s Spoke Studios and MTV Entertainment Studios. Tremaine, Shanna Newton, Eric Wattenberg, Scott Lonker, Will Nothacker, Erik Olsen, Bruce Gillmer and Michael Maniaci exec produce with Bienstock and Beaujour serving as co-exec producers.

“I’m honored to be part of this docuseries, named after the hit Poison song “Nothin’ But A Good Time”,” said Bret Michaels. “I’m excited for viewers to take a fresh look at the fans and bands, highs and lows, and to celebrate the music and good times of the ’80s and beyond. I hope the audience enjoys it as much as I did, and I can’t wait for them to have insight into some of those notoriously crazy moments.”
