Hair metal fans know that some of the best music wasn't released under a band's biggest name. In this episode, the panel shares our favorite solo albums and side projects from members of classic hair metal bands!

We discuss:
🎸 Blackeyed Susan – Electric Rattlebone
🎸 Shaw Blades – Hallucination
🎸 James Christian – Rude Awakening
🎸 Pete Lesperance – Down In It

Did we pick your favorite? Which solo album or side project deserves more recognition? Let us know in the comments!
