About our Bacon Score methodologyYouTube Video Description↓
In April of 2026, we tried a cruise we'd known about for years but just never seemed to make: The Monsters of Rock Cruise. Their line up was in our wheelhouse of "hair metal" bands from the 1980s in some respects, but it turned out to be much more.
