		Glam metal is a sub-genre of heavy metal music, that arose in the late 1970s in the United States.
		Glam metal performers became infamous for their debauched lifestyles, their long, teased hair, and use of make-up, clothing, and accessories, traits somewhat reminiscent of glam rock.

		During the early '70s, the group was driven by the creative tension between Bryan Ferry and Brian Eno, who each pulled the band in separate directions: Ferry had a fondness for American soul and Beatlesque art-pop, while Eno was intrigued by deconstructing rock with amateurish experimentalism inspired by the Velvet Underground.
		He was also moving from exotic rock star to household name - a guest spot on the Cilla Black TV show, and the emergence of the white tuxedo and bow tie lounge lizard image confirmed his interest in some sort of crossover.
