Rocking on tour with America’s heavy metal superstars-Kiss,\nPoison, Iron Maiden, Slaughter, Ted Nugent, Dokken, and\nCinderella-photographer David Yellen tailgated among the\nheadbangers, metalheads, burnouts, and self-styled fanatics waiting\nfor the show or hanging around backstage hoping to meet their\nidols. The results are a captivating record of Yellen’s trip to\nmetal’s Shangri-la. In 2000, Yellen drove more than 30,000 miles\nacross America in his red Nissan 300 ZX-from Michigan to Miami,\nfrom Pennsylvania to Omaha-to relive a treasured part of his past,\na time of innocence and rebellion when women had big hair and rock\nstars stood on stage as if they were Greek gods: he traveled back\nto the glory days of the “Hair Bands.” InToo Fast for Love, Yellen\ncaptured a moment frozen in hairspray chock-full of mullets,\nbleached perms, spandex cat suits, denim cutoffs, more pleather\nthan you can imagine, leopard, tiger, and snake prints, ripped\nfishnets, bare breasts and hairy chests, studded belts and\nbracelets, G-strings and platforms, pierced nipples and tongues,\nraccoon eyes, press-on nails, and hyper lip liner. Bang your head\nto this!
