At the height of the hair-metal craze, when the airwaves
were dominated by ear-shredding guitar solos played by men
clad in lace gloves, cowboy boots, and tight denim, when
Aqua Net was more precious than gold, when MTV actually
played music videos and not just shows like Pimp My Locker,
a band named Onyxxx (one X wasn’t nearly enough) came close
to making it big. What stopped Onyxxx from taking its place
beside legendary bands like Poison, Guns N’ Roses, and M?
tley CrŸe? Sex, drugs, groupies, . . . and geometry homework. Craig Williams, Onyxxx’s red-haired, head-banging
guitarist, tells his tale of near rock stardom in Mom, Have
You Seen My Leather Pants? With a manager who was a dead
ringer for Loni Anderson, club owners willing to offer
sexual favors and limo rides, and scads of California girls
lifting their shirts and screaming their names, Craig knew
what it was to be a starÑuntil he realized that Onyxxx
wasn’t the second coming of Warrant. They just weren’t that
good. And Craig wasn’t having fun anymore. A music memoir for any child of the 1980s and ’90s, a
nostalgic trip down Sunset Strip, and a hilarious tribute
to a musical era we can only hope will never have a
resurgence, Mom, Have You Seen My Leather Pants? will give
you an appetite for destruction.
