Concept album, partly autobiographical for Blackie Lawless. The story revolves around a disaffected youth who becomes a rock star but gets tangled in the machinations of the music business.
Blackie Lawless attributes the initial inspiration for the album to The Who's Pete Townshend (himself a veteran of the semi-autobiographical concept album), who encouraged him to "go for it".
Music videos were made for "The Idol" and "Hold on to my Heart".
Bob Kulick has stated that Doug Aldrich played an undetermined number of the guitar solos on the album, although he was not credited in the album notes.
The album was originally intended to be accompanied by a movie, with several hundred hours of film that were shot to create approximately 50 minutes of movie footage. The movie was not released at the time, but some 25 years later, with ReIdolized (The Soundtrack to the Crimson Idol).
Recording information:
Recorded and mixed at Fort Apache Recording Studio, Hollywood, CA.
