Revolver281 Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 Nice, Crue fans. It's really cool to see all these old school fans who saw Motley in their prime. Theirs diffenetly a mistique about them in the 80's. Everytime someone mentions them as just another hair metal bands, I have to remind them that they were original, genuine, and started the whole movement. Slash mentions in his book that they were the only band Guns ever respected and worked with on a proffesional level. Their music is actually good though, everything except Theatre of Pain and Genration Swine. Girls Girls Girls had its moment, Wildside and You're All I Need are incredible. But by far, better than TFFL and SATD is Dr.Feelgood. No need to explain why, they had finnaly cleaned up and showed they actually were more than Poison, Warrant, etc.Ps. Lithium, Nirvana fan boy, the Crue might not be to your taste, but Dr Feelgood isn't a shit album. Dr Feelgood, KMH, Without You, Don't Go Away Mad, and others might sound cheesy, but if you listen to the music, it's much more fun that slitting your wrists to Cobain screaming 'hello' again and again.lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secondly, please direct me to the part of my post where I described Dr. Feelgood as a "shit album". Read through my post properly and stop throwing childish insults concerning Nirvana towards me, and I might find it worthwhile to actually engage in a serious discussion with you.lol Edited March 12, 2009 by Lithium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunner55 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 it should be mandatory reading in schools if you ask me. It's incredible what kind of shit these guys stired up, there is almost anything you could possibly imagine in there.Haha! While it was indeed a GREAT book, that idea probably wouldn't go over too well. After I read it, I borrow it to my GF (one of the many people I have converted into Crue fans). She started reading the first page like, instantly. She got to the bottom of page one, the part where Tommy (I think it was Tommy...) talking, saying that everyone loved "Bullwinkle" because she could "spray her cum across the room" or something like that. She put the book down and said something like, "I'll continue later."Great band. Cruefest last year kicked ass. Too bad it ain't coming to Canada this year.

LightningBolt Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I'm a pretty big Motley Crue fan. My favorite album of their's is either Theatre of Pain or Too Fast For Love. I've never had intent to go to Crue Fest, though, as all of the bands there besides Motley Crue were Nu Metal, which isn't my style of music to say the least.

LightningBolt Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 i grew up with Motley Crue being my heroes. posters on the wall, collected every magazine (Circus, Hit Parader, Metal Edge, etc). seen 'em live 12 times. my very first concert was a Crue show on Oct. 2nd, 1985, the night they shot the original "Home Sweet Home" video (footage was also shot 2 nights later in Houston).now that i'm 36, i still have a big place in my heart for them. i really like the SOLA album. it's the best album they've done since Dr. Feelgood. over the years my opinion on their music has changed somewhat. i still view Too Fast For Love and Shout At The Devil as 5-Star classics. they are among my very favorite albums of all time. Shout used to be my fave, followed by Too Fast, but over the years Too Fast For Love has become my favorite Crue album.i have soured a little bit on their "pop metal" stuff; the Girls Girls Girls and Dr. Feelgood albums aren't as good to me now as they were then. too produced, too lightweight and now that the truth has come out, not alot of effort went into to any album after the first two, and Dr. Feelgood. i actually like Theatre Of Pain more than GGG or Dr. F now.i really don't like calling Motley Crue "hair metal". kids that weren't around when it was all happening seem to think of Motley as just one of the hundreds of look-alike, sound-alike bands. Motley Crue were the band that everyone in hard rock/metal was trying to copy from 83-88 or so. just because the imitators sucked it shouldn't tarnish Motley Crue's image.But there was a Glam band before them, I think. I can't remember if it was Saxon or someone else... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember if it was Saxon or someone else... there were a few others (very few) trying the glam thing but they weren't very good and as a result, weren't very successful. even Nikki's band London that pre-dated Motley Crue were glam. the glam thing in the 70's died and everything went punk and new wave. Motley were one of a few bands trying to bring it back, but it was a whole new beast. it was a mixture of elements; glam, punk, metal, power-pop (a la Cheap Trick and the Raspberries). pop Too Fast For Love on and tell me that there was ANYTHING remotely close to that at that time.btw, Saxon was a New Wave of British Metal band. very Spinal Tap-ish. latched on to every fad that came down the pike. they started out in the late 70's, but they weren't glammy until the Crue busted out. if you want to credit someone for doing the same thing at the same time as the Crue and doing it well, then give credit to Blackie Lawless.

It's based off Nikki's relationship with his ex-girlfriend Nicole. Nikki suspected her of cheating on him with Jack Wager (even though he cheated constantly on tour) who had a hit song called You're All I Need, and wrote his own version of the song as some form of revenge.
