James Gunn has discussed the shocking twist from the latest episode of his hit superhero TV series Peacemaker and why he chose a track from a cult Swedish heavy metal band to soundtrack it. But in terms of actual metal bands, they're one of my favourites. "It’s taking hair metal, basically, or sleaze metal, or glam metal, and giving it a spotlight," Gunn told the Peacemaker podcast in 2022. There’s a lot of European sleaze metal bands today that are actually really good. They’re actually overall much better than the hair metal bands that I grew up with.
