    Was Jayne Mansfield the inspiration?

    The Ballad of Jayne is a prime example of a late-1980s glam rock ballad. I remember when Guns N' Roses lead singer Axl Rose transitioned from his early-1980s hair metal look to the more polished glam metal style of the late '80s. In this video, the members of L. A. Guns fully embody the end-of-decade rocker aesthetic.

    The song itself is beautiful, and the video is filled with interesting details to spot-like the drummer's name on a sticker and the guitarist playing his guitar upside down, much like Jimi Hendrix. And as for Jayne-whoever she was (I don't believe it was Jayne Mansfield, as commonly assumed)-the lyrics suggest she lived a glamorous life that ultimately ended in tragedy.
