This was the shit!!!! Started listening to them in 92,93 !!! I fell in love!!! Great in concert!! I was 6 months pregnant and my baby was jumping all over!!! The Crue, Dio, Iron Maiden my favorite bands back then!!! I’m still listening today!!!!
I hate to break the news to every body but being young in the 80's was the absolute best, no facebook or instagram or tik tok, just real friends hanging around having fun and rocking out.
I Agree man, born in 72 and being a teen in the 80s was undoubtedly the best time ever for a teen. The shows and music, no social media, arcades, no computer bs and Headbangers Ball on Mtv. What more could a teen want.
I think Aerosmith and Motley both could be considered the Bad Boys of Rock N Roll hehe. They ran into each other a lot in the 80s I think when Aerosmith came back
Yea absolutely! Motley Crue had their own sound and just wild as hell and it has consequences as we all know if you’ve been there. They are amazing live and no wearing eyeliner and lipstick doesn’t mean I won’t whip your ass!!
I wouldn’t necessarily say that. They’ve had their songs about partying for sure but they’re so much more than that. And this song is a brilliant example
One of the biggest reasons Motley were so successful is that they lived it man, every part of it and took to task being the loudest, rudest and dirtiest band on and of the stage. It was real what they were l, they made no apologies, it was all part of the gig of being a rockstar and it resinated and came thru to the fanS, The industry just didn't get it, they still don't, which is why they won't even Nominate them for Induction to the RnR Hall of Fame....that's just garbage. CRUE FOREVER.
I dunno how people can't like Too Fast or Shout. Those 2 albums are really good, heavy and fun. Theatre sucks big time then they got hit or miss with Girls and Dr.
I think most metalheads like the early Motley crue, they just don't admit it. I like extreme metal and once in awhile I still go to the old albums, including this one, specially because of this song.
"We are the YOUTH Gone Wild". Very strong vocal presence yet only a sample from the era. Im not putting down your comment...im old enough that i was there and im thinkin right now...
Motley in their prime. Nothing could touch them they were on fire back then. They set the standard in 83 with the release of the shout at the devil album and then everyone and their grandmothers tried to jump on the bandwagon
*Bought the album when it came out on a Friday. On Saturday went to a friend's place where we had some beer while listening to this new band. The record opened up into a gatefold so you could see all four members in their Shout At The Devil gear. To this day I don't know why but I showed my bud the inside photos and asked Steve if he could date any of these chicks which one would he pick. After a moment he pointed at Vince. Nothing better than being a teenager, listening to great music, and cracking jokes at each other's expense.*
I was in the 7th ID and I used to travel down to LA to see the bands on the Sunset Strip. The Crue was the craziest MFer's out there. They rocked out our barracks too. TY for your service.
I am/was a bartender at Bill Graham Auditorium in ‘Frisco. When Crue played last time a few years ago, they were AN HOUR LATE opening the doors. But that was because it took so long for them to assemble Tommy’s drum setup. And Tommy picked some hot chick out of the crowd, strapped her into the passenger seat on his drum set. and took her on a 360 degree roller-coaster ride drum solo. 🤘 Everybody gets old and loses it one day. Not everybody puts a damn crease in the musical brain of a generation while they’re young and insane and can still survive that shit.
Other Mötley Crüe bangers: 1: Kickstart my heart 2. Shout at the devil 3. Piece of your action 4. Dr Feelgood 5. Live Wire 6. Too young to fall in love Ok so there’s a lot
These guys rocked and partied so hard that Guns n Roses would not tour with them. Have seen them 4 different times, Girls Girls Girls, Generation Swine, and Dr. Feelgood tours. All were amazing!
GNR opened for them on the Girls, Girls, Girls when Whitesnake left the tour because their album got big. Motley Crue was probably my favorite band until I listened to Appetite for Destruction for the first time. This was a good Album but Shout at the Devil is still my favorite Crue album.
Crue in the day... pure gold! Say what you want about the genre as a whole... there really was a lot of great musicianship and showmanship to be had! Cinderella, Ratt, Winger, Dokken, Def Lep.... the list of great acts is large!!
November 87", saw that tour with the original opening act about two weeks after they released a little album called "Appetite For Destruction". G&R Opening for Motley Crue.....Ahhhhhh the good old days....
I saw Motley Crue years ago when they were at their prime. They were just phenomenal. Tommy Lee is one of the best drummers ever, and their stage show is still killer.
I wish, never got to see them till one of their "final" tours and vince was awful. Didn't know half the lyrics, and was so out of shape he was out of breath from rolling around on stage.
I remember being at this concert at Market Square Arena in Indianapolis when they filmed this video. They played the song twice and Tommy's solo was a lot longer. This was the last show I saw before going to boot camp.
I saw this tour with Whitesnake as the opening act in Providence, RI. It was basically everything that an 80's metal show was supposed to be. Big, Insane, sleazy and loud. Awesome.
80s Hair Metal was a product of many different social and musical trends. On the musical side you had the success of 70s AOR, the influence of Van Halen and their guitar-centric style and good-time party mentality, and finally you had Quiet Riot's chart success that showed record companies that "metal" could sell. Socially you had no major wars, a booming economy and the ascendance of cocaine as the drug of choice. Plus you had an influx of digital technology that lead to the distinctive sounds of 80s production. It was the decade of decadence and excess, and the music reflected that.
I actually saw these guys live back around this time, and saw the infamous drum kit. Tommy Lee and his drumset would lift off the ground, and start spinning around and going upside down and shit while he was playing. It was crazy. Went with a couple of girls in their car without a ticket to the concert, just to hang with them on the trip. They went inside the concert and some guy came up and gave me a ticket while I was sitting on the stairs to the venue in Miami, no lie!
I think anyone that went to a crue show in the 80's has some decent stories... I have quite a few. Speaking of cars... I drove over those one-way tire shredders to get a parking space on purpose. Parked the car, didn't give a crap... found a ride with some people I knew... ended up at the after-party in Philly in the four seasons... Dealt with the car 5 days later.
These guys partied harder than any band in rock in the 80's. hung out and partied with Mexican mafia. They may have "looked pretty" but they were hardcore.
Born in 1970...I look back and smile, I was a kid in the 70’s, a teen in the 80’s, in my 20’s in the 90’s....what a great time to be alive, anything before 9/11 was great, then the PC ass hats FK’d up all the fun...my motto then was work hard, play hard, and FK hard...lol now I’m 49 with a family, a business, now a respectable person in my area if they could only have seen me in my prime..lol
Motley Crue were the epitome of 80's rock lifestyle excess...Kickstart My Heart is a song about the guitarist Nikki Sixx being revived after a heroin overdose...these guys partied HARD...
As one of your older viewers who was a teenager in the 80's and a huge metal head, Hair metal was about fun. There wasn't an agenda, political ideology or trying to make a statement. We had a great time, enjoyed life and didn't give a shit. It was a great time for music
@@Kreigmstr Oh yeah, there was no shortage of hair metal groupies. I am uglier than shit but had great long blonde hair, a leather trench and a van. Yeah buddy, good times haha
As for the Girls, Girls, Girls album, I'd say it's pretty solid, but not as good as either Shout at the Devil (which is rawer) or Dr. Feelgood (which is more polished).
Shout at the Devil was their best album hands down imo. However, I absolutely love Mick’s bluesy riffs on the Girls album, and Feelgood was just a masterpiece in terms of production.
The way you guys are reacting is exactly how we felt in the 80s. Im so blessed to have been raised and grow up tp this music. Im so grateful to my besties for introducing me to this music in middle school and bringing me to do many metal concerts
Tommy’s drums really drive the sound of this band. They were unique because all 4 members brought a unique sound together. Each band member had something awesome to contribute. This was right around their prime. This and Feelgood. Lots of other good stuff, but this was prime. I saw them live so many times back then. So so glad I did. They were so much better back then. Night and day .
Hair/Glam/80's music doesn't get enough credit. Everyone is focused on looks and some of the cheeseiness but there's a lot of good, solid music from that era.
@@elijahloveell8809those bands had the best guitarists! And btw many bands from the 80s(from different music genres) were ridiculous as about the image, but this doesn't mean that we can't enjoy the music!
"Girls, Girls, Girls" went all the way to Number-2 in the charts; on its way to the Number-1 slot, Whitney Houston debuted at the Top Spot in 1987. Girls was recorded under extreme addictions; Nikki Sixx actually died at the conclusion of the Japanese leg of the tour; that event forced the band into sobriety and the result was "Dr. Feelgood" the band's first number-1 album. Sixx, to this day, will tell the world that he is still in recovery. If you have time and want to learn more about Motley Crue in 1987, please read (or listen to audiobook) "The Heroin Diaries" by Nikki Sixx and be prepared...
If you plan on doing some more Crüe, I'd recommend: "Too Young To Fall In Love", "Red Hot", "Merry Go Round", "Live Wire", "On With The Show", Just to name a few. Their early stuff is the best! Those first two albums were untouchable compared to their later records.
I saw this tour at age 16 and I was hooked! This is my favorite Crüe song to this day. I will go see the reunion tour, unfortunately Vince has not been the greatest singer/performer in years. Hopefully, he will have gotten some of his mojo back for this tour. No matter what, I will forever be a fan. Great reaction guys.
I'm going to keep requesting these, I think they're pretty heavy for hair metal (a genre I'm not a fan of) : Whitesnake, Still of the Night Dokken, It's not Love Tesla, Modern Day Cowboy Motley Crue, Looks That Kill
I've been so lucky to not only see them live 4x but worked for them 2x and this was the first tour I got to work for them on a local level as a runner. Got to hang out with them, watch how they behaved backstage and what you see is what you get. Also, many people who are blown away by the spinning drum cage today, think of how we felt back in the 80's when this was revolutionary stuff.
I’ve seen the Crue many times over the past 30+ years. This video and your reaction sent chills down my arms and up my neck again - the same chills happened at every one of their concerts as you realized for that night, they were a little bit more than human and you got to be there with them.
This is the first video that they ever did during a live performance. The trac on tha album did not have the crowd. These guys came up with the flamboyant stage show even in the clubs. Whiskey A Go Go was a big club for these guys.
Motley knows hooks and melody and Mick needs more credit for truckload of badass riffs! Peeps who slam hair metal haven't heard Ratt, Dokken, Cinderella, Skid Row, Faster Pussycat, Kix....or don't know HOW to hear em"!
That is what I constantly argue when defending Crue. Yes they're "glam" but they're not THAT version of glam. They inspired it but their music puts their lightyears ahead.
His voice has always been shot. He's always sucked live unfortunately, just like David Lee Roth. When you have an unlimited amount of tries in the studio, ANYONE can make some badass vocal tracks, but live is another animal.
@@michaelbaldwin8484 Yeah it's a shame. I saw them in 2013 and Vince barely sang at all. He basically held the mic as a prop while the audience sang all the songs. If that's the vibe you want, that's what you're going to get, but if you want to see that band perform the songs and do what they did back in the day, don't hold your breath.
The song "Shout at the Devil" would be another great choice when doing another Motley Crue song....about Def Leppard...you have to do a rock song by them to give them a fair shake. Try "Let it Go" its raw and I know you guys would enjoy it.
The video was shot in Indianapolis. They actually played the song twice in a row to get all of the footage. I know because I was there! It's the studio cut with the crowd noise added in.
Dokken is pronounced Dock-en. Definitely do a Ratt song. "Wanted Man,"" Lack of Communication," or a really good one is "You're in Love." Twisted Sister is good. Poison - "Nothing But A Good Time" is a good one. Ozzy had a hair metal phase too, check out "The Ultimate Sin." You guys are great, keep it up! 🤘🏻
Crue was the epitome of the 80's "hair metal" era. One of the first & rawest @ the beginning they lived the very life you think they did. Alwayz amazing showmen they were able to plug into tht vibe we loved as punk-ass teenagers. Simple yet driving & female fan friendly, they shaped the genre & opened the flood gates to hundreds of others on the same fix. Born between punk rock & thrash, it was a raunchy dirty good fkn time. A lot of great music came out of tht era as well as lot of silly shit.. but tht was My era & thnk god therell nvr be another like it! We ruled!
From what I’ve read, because the Netflix movie was based on a book written with stories directly from Motley Crue themselves, the Netflix movie was very tame compared to a lot of the true stories in the book. They took the stories they could get away with in a movie, but there’s a lot in the book that there was no way to put it to film because it would never be approved.
Partly, music does go in cycles. And the 80s were also all about being bigger than life (Top Gun, Star Wars, The A Team, etc.). However it was also largely driven by MTV's desire for theatrical videos and big sound.
I was there and lived the entire musical scene...yet never once was it mentioned where it all came from other than an interview from any hair band artist at the time cited "led zep, hendrix, stones, even beatles, etc etc etc" as their influences and inspiration. I mean i left out about 50 more bands and groups and artists...
Seen them in concert 6 times and witnessed Tommy get stuck upside down 2 of those times. One of those times he had to be removed, he was stuck upside down for so long
Partly because people just wanted to party and have fun instead of being down about life and what's going on in the world. And, the booming economy also helped with that. At least in America.
Faster Pussycat opened for Motley Crue in Johnson City Tennessee in 1989. Tommy Lee had a drum kit hanging in the rafters. All he had on was leather undies and suspenders. He climbed into this upside down drum kit and played 2 songs. Most awesome show ever.
You need to read “The Heroin Diaries” by Nikki. He actually wrote the entire Girls album and was so high all the time he doesn’t actually remember doing it
BalouSFN no that’s based of the book titled “The Dirt”. The Heroin Diaries was more of Nikkis personal stories opposed to the whole band if I remover correctly.
IDK about anyone else but I find myself smiling when y'all review stuff you've never heard before. Does my heart good to know folks are still in love with the Hard Rockin' 80's&90's 🤘 rock on! P.S. Ratt was a band like no other too, one of the best shows I've ever seen 💯 You're in love, Lay it down, Round and round Gawd sooo many good ones👍 Go, go and search the archives my young music loving friends, find your wildsides! 🤘
They are "Glam" Rock Gods. The absolute definition of ROCK-STAR. These guys were bad ass and owned every stage they took. 17:33 spot on dude, 100% accurate.
Wildside and Kickstart My Heart are probably my favorite Motley Crue songs. In their heyday, their show couldn't be beat. Flames, explosions, loud music, half naked girls. Selling out 20k seat arenas from coast to coast and all over the world. These days, Vince's voice is shot. The 80's was about living for the moment and having a good time all the time. It was an effing GREAT time to be young.
Motley Crue gig was one of the best experience I’ve had live. You definitely need to go and see them live if they decide to come back and play more shows.
Love this reaction; I envy you guys seeing this for the first time. Crue is one of my favorite bands of all time, and I dig seeing people giving them credit beyond just being another hair metal band, because they put out different styles of rock in their career. Few bands turn me into that teenager playing air guitar again as easily as this band. I got to see them live in 2013, and it was a bitchin show. I've seen a lot of rock and metal concerts, but they just had a certain extra something in their live presence. Nikki spit stage blood on me, Tommy did his rollercoaster bit, and those were some of the best concert moments I've ever had in my life. The pyro, the visuals, every member was having so much fun on stage, it was all great. They're also the loudest band I've seen live and that's really cool. Mick is an incredibly underrated guitarist. Shout is my personal favorite album of theirs because it's got such a strong start, middle, and end. The spoken word beginning just pulls you in and it leads into the riff for the title track, and it just feels like the most badass thing you've ever heard. The lyrics to songs like Knock Em Dead and Bastard have some rad stories behind it which Nikki talks about in the book The Dirt. Nikki doesn't get the credit he deserves for writing and lyricism. Hope you guys dig the show, although I can't speak to how Vince's voice will be.
I have seen Mötley Crüe 5 times. One time no one (including ex-husband) wanted to go with me so I took the money I would have spent on the group and went alone and sat front row. Poison opened and CC made eyes at me and Nikki threw "blood" on me at the close. Still one of the best decisions I've ever made. 🤟
Take it from someone who used to be a huge Motley Crue fan before I became a thrash and death metal guy, you guys should check out Knock Em Dead Kid from the Shout at the Devil album. This song will never get the requests it deserves, but check it out in your own time, I don't think you'll be disappointed because that song is pretty hard
Loved your all's reaction to this song, the best I've seen! You see why so many people love Motley Crue. These guys bring it and they have written some great hard rock classics.
Had the Girls Girls Girls album, it was huge when it came out! Love that album. "Wild Side" was my favorite too. They had lots of hits! You guys cracked me up "banging" your heads ( not nearly as hard as we did in the 80's😉) 80's Hair metal, power ballads are the best! Def Leppard and Van Halen, You may want to try Aerosmith "Permanent Vacation" HUGE album in 87/88. Love your reactions...you guys are fun and interesting!
This is an older video from our Hair/Glam Metal Marathon on Patreon guys fyi. Enjoy!
🥰
Can you guys react to some international music. ua-cam.com/video/M7tsJ8-JdH8/v-deo.html
why old videos? i figured we'd be hearing a lot more from you guys during the pandemic
Reconsider baby by Elvis Presley pleas3!
This was the shit!!!! Started listening to them in 92,93 !!! I fell in love!!! Great in concert!! I was 6 months pregnant and my baby was jumping all over!!! The Crue, Dio, Iron Maiden my favorite bands back then!!! I’m still listening today!!!!
I hate to break the news to every body but being young in the 80's was the absolute best, no facebook or instagram or tik tok, just real friends hanging around having fun and rocking out.

I Agree man, born in 72 and being a teen in the 80s was undoubtedly the best time ever for a teen. The shows and music, no social media, arcades, no computer bs and Headbangers Ball on Mtv. What more could a teen want.
Hell yes 70s and 80 the best times kinda went down hill juste
100%
I alway tell my older friends they’re lucky they got Mötley when they were in school. Lol I got Bieber...
Mick Mars is one of THE MOST criminally underrated Guitarists!
Especially considering he plays in indescribable pain.
Agreed!
The opening riff in wild side is actually pretty damn hard, at least to get as clean as mars does
Well he is top 50 best guitarist for metal according to hall of fame
Say it again for the ones in the back!!!!
"Just cuz we wear lipstick, doesn't mean we can't kick your ass" Motley Crue 1987
Actually, 1983, but hey, whatever, it's the internet.
@@Funz2022 I saw Vince say that on the uncensored video. So I was guesstimating time. 86, 87?
@@richardalbert7506 yeah '86, but they said it originally on the LOOKS THAT KILL video set, 1983.
Just being a Crue nerd
I think Aerosmith and
Motley both could be considered the Bad Boys of Rock N Roll hehe. They ran into each other a lot in the 80s I think when Aerosmith came back
Yea absolutely! Motley Crue had their own sound and just wild as hell and it has consequences as we all know if you’ve been there. They are amazing live and no wearing eyeliner and lipstick doesn’t mean I won’t whip your ass!!
Mötley Crüe was all about sex, drugs and rock and roll. No politics, nothing too serious. It was just fun.
I wouldn’t necessarily say that. They’ve had their songs about partying for sure but they’re so much more than that. And this song is a brilliant example
That's what the 80''s were about.
This song ain't just about having fun, you check these lyrics lately????

CRUE FOREVER.
Nine lives, lots of liver damage, still hearts are amazed yet they alive 2020 hindsight. 😃🤔😅😎
This song is the bane of every metal fan who hates glam. This song is just irrefutably amazing. This coming from a black metal fan.

😈
This song is the spawn of true heavy metal.
Crazy news but it’s actually ok to like other genres
That "rawness " you love so much, that's in all of their songs. It's part of why they are one of the greatest bands in rock history.
Another hair metal suggestion: “Youth Gone Wild” by Skid Row
I think it would be cool to do a side by side comparison of a song off their debut album and one from Slave to the Grind
Quicksand Jesus is their opus. Just brilliant
this should be number one with 10,000 likes
"We are the YOUTH Gone Wild". Very strong vocal presence yet only a sample from the era.
Im not putting down your comment...im old enough that i was there and im thinkin right now...
I remember you
Motley in their prime. Nothing could touch them they were on fire back then. They set the standard in 83 with the release of the shout at the devil album and then everyone and their grandmothers tried to jump on the bandwagon
Shout at the devil is the the supreme Crue album. Their heaviest most badass metal
Hands down
Lived it blew the scene the F up made everyone up their game.
I introduced them to a few friends with that album, it wasn't long after that we were dressing like them going to the mall.

I saw them twice on the Shout Tour opening for Ozzy and headlining with Accept.
The 80s was just a great and a fun time to live. The music reflects the times...
This song was written and first performed in 1970, you bet this song is the reason the 80s 10-20 years later was so cool.
@@bits_for_bytes who played this song in 1970? You're cooked.
Being in the Army oversees in late 80's, this kind of music was what kept us going in the barracks!!

@@ah-ed2rt Hotter(Louder) than Hell, very underrated song, was originally recorded for the Shout at the Devil album! Deep cut, nice choice!
Red Hot was great too.
Do “Too Young to fall in love” if you guys like that groove.
Nah looks that kill has a way better groove
Live wire
Try that album out first. Then move forward.
Howie...Damn you're right! One of the best Motley Crue tunes.
I agree with you man
^^^^^
These guys rocked and partied so hard that Guns n Roses would not tour with them. Have seen them 4 different times, Girls Girls Girls, Generation Swine, and Dr. Feelgood tours. All were amazing!
Lucky! And god, how underrated is Generation Swine though!?
GNR did tour with them in 87.
Guns n roses opened for Motley Crue during this exact tour
GNR opened for them on the Girls, Girls, Girls when Whitesnake left the tour because their album got big. Motley Crue was probably my favorite band until I listened to Appetite for Destruction for the first time. This was a good Album but Shout at the Devil is still my favorite Crue album.
that and axl and vince threw hands around...
Crue in the day... pure gold! Say what you want about the genre as a whole... there really was a lot of great musicianship and showmanship to be had! Cinderella, Ratt, Winger, Dokken, Def Lep.... the list of great acts is large!!
ROUND AND ROUND, LOVE WILL FIND A WAY JUST GIVE IT TIME
Cinderella is my jam.
Winger...haha
@@BuckingFuffalos69 Ratt N Roll
All those u mention indeed... but Winger... is the most underrated mistreated band ever... because they are probably, top 10 rock/metal bands ever!
If you guys want to see a VERY underrated solo, Check out "home sweet home"
I have never heard a solo better than Mick Mars for this song.
Bad ass song
how is it underrated?? almost everyone knows that song and solo are in the top....man you zoomers are something else...
November 87", saw that tour with the original opening act about two weeks after they released a little album called "Appetite For Destruction". G&R Opening for Motley Crue.....Ahhhhhh the good old days....
Me too, saw this show in Greensboro Oct 87 with GNR opening. Best show ever!!!!
I saw Motley Crue years ago when they were at their prime. They were just phenomenal. Tommy Lee is one of the best drummers ever, and their stage show is still killer.
Tommy Lee 3 sticks strapped to flying in drum kit hollering Pamela!!!....😃🤔😅😅 Awesomeness !!!

80s Hair Metal was a product of many different social and musical trends. On the musical side you had the success of 70s AOR, the influence of Van Halen and their guitar-centric style and good-time party mentality, and finally you had Quiet Riot's chart success that showed record companies that "metal" could sell. Socially you had no major wars, a booming economy and the ascendance of cocaine as the drug of choice. Plus you had an influx of digital technology that lead to the distinctive sounds of 80s production. It was the decade of decadence and excess, and the music reflected that.
Wow, that was a perfect analysis.
Holy shit, I never saw it explained like that
No life imitates art, always has
What is AOR?
@@tsuss2205 Album-Oriented Rock; bands like Boston, Foreigner, Journey, Toto, etc.
I actually saw these guys live back around this time, and saw the infamous drum kit. Tommy Lee and his drumset would lift off the ground, and start spinning around and going upside down and shit while he was playing. It was crazy. Went with a couple of girls in their car without a ticket to the concert, just to hang with them on the trip. They went inside the concert and some guy came up and gave me a ticket while I was sitting on the stairs to the venue in Miami, no lie!
I think anyone that went to a crue show in the 80's has some decent stories... I have quite a few. Speaking of cars... I drove over those one-way tire shredders to get a parking space on purpose. Parked the car, didn't give a crap... found a ride with some people I knew... ended up at the after-party in Philly in the four seasons...
Dealt with the car 5 days later.
These guys partied harder than any band in rock in the 80's. hung out and partied with Mexican mafia. They may have "looked pretty" but they were hardcore.
Do Motley Crue Live Wire
Yeah, I've said that a few times.
YES THIS! 👆👆👆👆
Mööötley Crüüüe.
Horrible
@@jerretkirouac7038 only if you don't play it loud enough, that's a rock'n song, complete w/cowbell, or you have no taste
Born in 1970...I look back and smile, I was a kid in the 70’s, a teen in the 80’s, in my 20’s in the 90’s....what a great time to be alive, anything before 9/11 was great, then the PC ass hats FK’d up all the fun...my motto then was work hard, play hard, and FK hard...lol now I’m 49 with a family, a business, now a respectable person in my area if they could only have seen me in my prime..lol
Same age, we were so lucky. So much music and it was all amazing. Today, I’d wish I was deaf.
Same here. We were fuckin lucky, man!
Cannot disagree.
One year older, loved Shout at the Devil. Then found out they had an album before Shout, bought Too fast for love, never looked back.
Motley Crue were the epitome of 80's rock lifestyle excess...Kickstart My Heart is a song about the guitarist Nikki Sixx being revived after a heroin overdose...these guys partied HARD...
Yes did you read their book ? Wow! Also the Heroin Diaries Nikki Sixx. Wow amazing they are still alive 😱they partied with a full passion no doubt
Bassist
Live Wire is Crüe's most powerful badass song ever... give it a shot
The lyric in this song were some Sixx's best. Killer street level shit.
100% The dark side of L.A. which they know all about.
agree, he is underrated lyricist
East L.A. at midnight\Father won't be home tonight\Found Dead with his best friend's wife
ABSOLUTE FIRE!!!!!
If you Like Motley Crue You Will Like RamRod!!
Check it Out!!

And to think, sixx said in an interview that he doesn't remember recording this album
I love how they are mean mugging while bobbing their heads. This is like the perfect song to do that.
As one of your older viewers who was a teenager in the 80's and a huge metal head, Hair metal was about fun. There wasn't an agenda, political ideology or trying to make a statement. We had a great time, enjoyed life and didn't give a shit. It was a great time for music
It was also what the vast majority of girls, who were into rock and metal, listened too.
The 80's had the best music....my 20 year old son loves this music...he doesn't like the new music!
@@Kreigmstr Oh yeah, there was no shortage of hair metal groupies. I am uglier than shit but had great long blonde hair, a leather trench and a van. Yeah buddy, good times haha
Amen
Amen. 🤘
As for the Girls, Girls, Girls album, I'd say it's pretty solid, but not as good as either Shout at the Devil (which is rawer) or Dr. Feelgood (which is more polished).
I second that
Agreed
Shout at the Devil was their best album hands down imo. However, I absolutely love Mick’s bluesy riffs on the Girls album, and Feelgood was just a masterpiece in terms of production.
Shout at the Devil has the best songs, definitely
No love for Too Fast For Love??
Saw them twice in the 80s and they blew the roof off. So loud and so good.
For all the things Crue is, was and has been - say what you want, Tommy Lee is a badass drummer
Mick > Tommy
badass....nothing more!!
and he is a super cool and humble dude! - ua-cam.com/video/GLmfWrB97Ds/v-deo.html
Yes!!
Warrant's Uncle Tom's Cabin is a fantastic southern gothic story about seeing something you shouldn't have.
Great tune, there!
They did it (and didn’t care for it)
The only song they did worth listening to!! That main riff is hard AF!!
That was supposed to be that albums title, but the label...
@@Benjovi76 Really? Only for patreon?
The way you guys are reacting is exactly how we felt in the 80s. Im so blessed to have been raised and grow up tp this music. Im so grateful to my besties for introducing me to this music in middle school and bringing me to do many metal concerts
“Ten seconds to love”,just a plain dirty song!!
That's what makes it fun🤣🤣🤣
I always loved that song.💪
I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve seen Motley Crüe. Great live show!
Tommy’s drums really drive the sound of this band. They were unique because all 4 members brought a unique sound together. Each band member had something awesome to contribute. This was right around their prime. This and Feelgood. Lots of other good stuff, but this was prime. I saw them live so many times back then. So so glad I did. They were so much better back then. Night and day .
Still of the Night is another good one.
Rabon Ragan yes! 🤘
They did it and hated it.
@@Ripplin 😨😨

@@screamingscarecrow4251 Indeeeeeed! - Funaki ;)
Hair/Glam/80's music doesn't get enough credit. Everyone is focused on looks and some of the cheeseiness but there's a lot of good, solid music from that era.
YES! Ratt, Dokken, Cinderella, Kix, Wasp, Faster Pussycat....a shitload of great guitarists! L.A. Guns, as well!
It just wasn’t good. It was repetitive as hell and all those bands looked ridiculous
@@elijahloveell8809those bands had the best guitarists! And btw many bands from the 80s(from different music genres) were ridiculous as about the image, but this doesn't mean that we can't enjoy the music!
I say that glam metal is just pop heavy metal. Take away the glam from the bands, and you would get good heavy metal bands
@@treffbennett6534 Ballad of Jane 😎
"Girls, Girls, Girls" went all the way to Number-2 in the charts; on its way to the Number-1 slot, Whitney Houston debuted at the Top Spot in 1987. Girls was recorded under extreme addictions; Nikki Sixx actually died at the conclusion of the Japanese leg of the tour; that event forced the band into sobriety and the result was "Dr. Feelgood" the band's first number-1 album. Sixx, to this day, will tell the world that he is still in recovery. If you have time and want to learn more about Motley Crue in 1987, please read (or listen to audiobook) "The Heroin Diaries" by Nikki Sixx and be prepared...
If you plan on doing some more Crüe, I'd recommend: "Too Young To Fall In Love", "Red Hot", "Merry Go Round", "Live Wire", "On With The Show", Just to name a few. Their early stuff is the best! Those first two albums were untouchable compared to their later records.
I agree...
That first album was fire.
agreed
Yes
Knock Em Dead Kid
@@filled_soda knew I was forgetting something lol. That's a great track as well!
I saw this tour at age 16 and I was hooked! This is my favorite Crüe song to this day. I will go see the reunion tour, unfortunately Vince has not been the greatest singer/performer in years. Hopefully, he will have gotten some of his mojo back for this tour. No matter what, I will forever be a fan. Great reaction guys.
You nailed it. The 80's were the generation X-er's, a term used to describe alienated youth.
I'm going to keep requesting these, I think they're pretty heavy for hair metal (a genre I'm not a fan of) :
Whitesnake, Still of the Night
Dokken, It's not Love
Tesla, Modern Day Cowboy
Motley Crue, Looks That Kill
Tesla was one of the underrated hair metal bands - they were serious about the music and IIRC got mocked for it.
Those top 3 for sure. Much love for Tesla and Dokken.
LA Guns - Electric Gypsy
WASP - Heretic (The Lost Child)
Ratt - Lay It Down
Love/Hate - Blackout In The Red Room
Tora Tora - Walking Shoes
etc etc...
+1 for Modern Day Cowboy. Tesla was massively underrated.
"Bastard" was a nasty tune off of Shout at the Devil LP.
I've been so lucky to not only see them live 4x but worked for them 2x and this was the first tour I got to work for them on a local level as a runner. Got to hang out with them, watch how they behaved backstage and what you see is what you get. Also, many people who are blown away by the spinning drum cage today, think of how we felt back in the 80's when this was revolutionary stuff.
Whitesnake - “Still of the Night”. Epic song from the era.
Epic! A definite must for this genre.
It's Whitesnake all one word.
That song is 7 minutes of 80's awesome.
John Sykes was/is a master guitarist
They did it on patreon and will probably put it on YT eventually. I won’t say how their reaction was to it. Leave ya in suspense.
I’ve seen the Crue many times over the past 30+ years. This video and your reaction sent chills down my arms and up my neck again - the same chills happened at every one of their concerts as you realized for that night, they were a little bit more than human and you got to be there with them.
Dancing on Glass, Livewire , Home Sweet Home and Too Young to Fall in Love were my jams
About Mötley Crüe, just four words: Shout At the Devil. That song is their greatest, heavy and groovy all around.
Hell yeah bro! That is their best song and it’s dark, heavy awesome 1984 metal. The best.
That's my favorite crue album. The first album i ever bought w my own money. I was 10!!
I'd like to see them review Knock em Dead Kid. Great underrated Crüe song.
This is the first video that they ever did during a live performance. The trac on tha album did not have the crowd. These guys came up with the flamboyant stage show even in the clubs. Whiskey A Go Go was a big club for these guys.
"It's not supposed to be beautiful" well said man! Motley Crue were always a big step up on the integrity level vs alot of other glam copycat bands.
Motley knows hooks and melody and Mick needs more credit for truckload of badass riffs! Peeps who slam hair metal haven't heard Ratt, Dokken, Cinderella, Skid Row, Faster Pussycat, Kix....or don't know HOW to hear em"!
That is what I constantly argue when defending Crue. Yes they're "glam" but they're not THAT version of glam. They inspired it but their music puts their lightyears ahead.
If you see Motley Crue live, be forewarned. Vince Neil's voice is shot.
His voice has always been shot. He's always sucked live unfortunately, just like David Lee Roth. When you have an unlimited amount of tries in the studio, ANYONE can make some badass vocal tracks, but live is another animal.
@@djjazzyjeff1232 he was good in '88 or '89. Or at least was in tune and enunciated the lyrics
@@michaelbaldwin8484 I guess that could be true, but that was 32 years ago. May or may not still be the case lol.
@@djjazzyjeff1232 it's not. I've seen them twice since 2012 and Vince solo once. He's out of tune and barely enunciates at all
@@michaelbaldwin8484 Yeah it's a shame. I saw them in 2013 and Vince barely sang at all. He basically held the mic as a prop while the audience sang all the songs. If that's the vibe you want, that's what you're going to get, but if you want to see that band perform the songs and do what they did back in the day, don't hold your breath.
Arena concerts then were the best memories I have! So much fun!!!
Great one yall ! Skid Row should be on this marathon - Youth Gone Wild is a great one
You know it's good when George & Ryan go in to Beavis & Butthead mode
That's freakin' funny dude!
Hahahaaaaaaaaaa! I died xD
YA YA YA.
That was cool
Huhhuhu huh shut up Ryan!!
On my playlist dudes and fav motley track love watching you guys discover metal and rock great to watch
The song "Shout at the Devil" would be another great choice when doing another Motley Crue song....about Def Leppard...you have to do a rock song by them to give them a fair shake. Try "Let it Go" its raw and I know you guys would enjoy it.
Watch the film called "The Dirt" based on the book by the band. Then you will know how WILD they really were!
TSquareInnovations and then read the book. It's better than the Bible.
Nah. Read the book. The movie wasn’t good.
The film was revisionist crap
You mean trying to open windows on a bullet train, so you can throw beer bottles and watch them explode?
Definitely to me the darkest song they made
The video was shot in Indianapolis. They actually played the song twice in a row to get all of the footage. I know because I was there! It's the studio cut with the crowd noise added in.
Dokken is pronounced Dock-en. Definitely do a Ratt song. "Wanted Man,"" Lack of Communication," or a really good one is "You're in Love." Twisted Sister is good. Poison - "Nothing But A Good Time" is a good one. Ozzy had a hair metal phase too, check out "The Ultimate Sin."
You guys are great, keep it up! 🤘🏻
Sounds like rocking
Man I prefer a thousand times Dokken or Ratt...this doesn"t age well....personal opinion...don'"t hate me for that people...
Cinderella could rock also.
Twisted Sister Burn in Hell! Or maybe I wanna rock
@@GregsWhiskyGuide are u insane?! Lol I love Ratt too. Dokken nit so much.
Crue was the epitome of the 80's "hair metal" era. One of the first & rawest @ the beginning they lived the very life you think they did. Alwayz amazing showmen they were able to plug into tht vibe we loved as punk-ass teenagers. Simple yet driving & female fan friendly, they shaped the genre & opened the flood gates to hundreds of others on the same fix. Born between punk rock & thrash, it was a raunchy dirty good fkn time. A lot of great music came out of tht era as well as lot of silly shit.. but tht was My era & thnk god therell nvr be another like it! We ruled!
As a longtime Motley Crue fan (I’ve seriously been obsessed with this band for half my life now) I’m beyond happy that you guys enjoyed this so much
If you like Motley Crue lettin’ it all out, I suggest y’all give Primal Scream a go. ❤️
yall should watch the dirt on netflix. idk if it's entirely accurate but it's rly entertaining to see how this band came to be.
I agree. Entertaining if not entirely accurate movie.
From what I’ve read, because the Netflix movie was based on a book written with stories directly from Motley Crue themselves, the Netflix movie was very tame compared to a lot of the true stories in the book. They took the stories they could get away with in a movie, but there’s a lot in the book that there was no way to put it to film because it would never be approved.
@@clonexx There was some weird shit in that book...
Oh, it's not accurate at all but it gives you a good idea.
@@acidead7904 Groupies and telephone receivers?????
10 seconds to love is such an underrated tune of theirs!!
"Is 80's hair metal a response to the Vietnam war & the general bad feelings of the 70's?"
Poison: "Ain't looking for nothing but a good time."
Partly, music does go in cycles. And the 80s were also all about being bigger than life (Top Gun, Star Wars, The A Team, etc.). However it was also largely driven by MTV's desire for theatrical videos and big sound.
Absolutely loved this era of music. I went to so many of these concerts I lost count. But it was an awesome time for sure. 🤟😎😎🤟🎶🎶🎶🎶
I was there and lived the entire musical scene...yet never once was it mentioned where it all came from other than an interview from any hair band artist at the time cited "led zep, hendrix, stones, even beatles, etc etc etc" as their influences and inspiration. I mean i left out about 50 more bands and groups and artists...
Seen them in concert 6 times and witnessed Tommy get stuck upside down 2 of those times. One of those times he had to be removed, he was stuck upside down for so long
These guys make me feel very active and excited!!! They are awesome!!
Mick's experience let the band develop behind his amazing riffs.
Partly because people just wanted to party and have fun instead of being down about life and what's going on in the world. And, the booming economy also helped with that. At least in America.
Faster Pussycat opened for Motley Crue in Johnson City Tennessee in 1989. Tommy Lee had a drum kit hanging in the rafters. All he had on was leather undies and suspenders. He climbed into this upside down drum kit and played 2 songs. Most awesome show ever.
You need to read “The Heroin Diaries” by Nikki. He actually wrote the entire Girls album and was so high all the time he doesn’t actually remember doing it
We're all so tired of that story 😴
I love the story of when the Northridge earthquake hit Nikki ran outside buck ass naked brandishing a crack pipe!😆😆😆
Great book !
Is that the book that The Dirt movie is based on?
BalouSFN no that’s based of the book titled “The Dirt”. The Heroin Diaries was more of Nikkis personal stories opposed to the whole band if I remover correctly.
IDK about anyone else but I find myself smiling when y'all review stuff you've never heard before. Does my heart good to know folks are still in love with the Hard Rockin' 80's&90's 🤘 rock on! P.S. Ratt was a band like no other too, one of the best shows I've ever seen 💯 You're in love, Lay it down, Round and round Gawd sooo many good ones👍 Go, go and search the archives my young music loving friends, find your wildsides! 🤘
They are "Glam" Rock Gods. The absolute definition of ROCK-STAR. These guys were bad ass and owned every stage they took.
17:33 spot on dude, 100% accurate.
Wildside and Kickstart My Heart are probably my favorite Motley Crue songs. In their heyday, their show couldn't be beat. Flames, explosions, loud music, half naked girls. Selling out 20k seat arenas from coast to coast and all over the world. These days, Vince's voice is shot. The 80's was about living for the moment and having a good time all the time. It was an effing GREAT time to be young.
Totally agree good days and good times!! Feelgood music 🎶
Motley Crue gig was one of the best experience I’ve had live. You definitely need to go and see them live if they decide to come back and play more shows.
Nothing better than growing up in the 80's and I saw this live as a teen. The greatest time ever. All we did back in the day is have fun and party.
The reason why many hair metal bands started in LA was because they were discovered in Hollywood, majority in clubs on the Sunset Strip.
Mötley Crüe is not a metal band. It's just rock band for girls and a good example what kind of shit music usa produces
Love this reaction; I envy you guys seeing this for the first time. Crue is one of my favorite bands of all time, and I dig seeing people giving them credit beyond just being another hair metal band, because they put out different styles of rock in their career. Few bands turn me into that teenager playing air guitar again as easily as this band. I got to see them live in 2013, and it was a bitchin show. I've seen a lot of rock and metal concerts, but they just had a certain extra something in their live presence. Nikki spit stage blood on me, Tommy did his rollercoaster bit, and those were some of the best concert moments I've ever had in my life. The pyro, the visuals, every member was having so much fun on stage, it was all great. They're also the loudest band I've seen live and that's really cool. Mick is an incredibly underrated guitarist. Shout is my personal favorite album of theirs because it's got such a strong start, middle, and end. The spoken word beginning just pulls you in and it leads into the riff for the title track, and it just feels like the most badass thing you've ever heard. The lyrics to songs like Knock Em Dead and Bastard have some rad stories behind it which Nikki talks about in the book The Dirt. Nikki doesn't get the credit he deserves for writing and lyricism. Hope you guys dig the show, although I can't speak to how Vince's voice will be.
Ryan, you're a fooking legend. Your enthusiasm is great to see.
I have seen Mötley Crüe 5 times. One time no one (including ex-husband) wanted to go with me so I took the money I would have spent on the group and went alone and sat front row. Poison opened and CC made eyes at me and Nikki threw "blood" on me at the close. Still one of the best decisions I've ever made. 🤟
Nikki spat blood on me too. That was my favourite time seeing them 🥰
Take it from someone who used to be a huge Motley Crue fan before I became a thrash and death metal guy, you guys should check out Knock Em Dead Kid from the Shout at the Devil album. This song will never get the requests it deserves, but check it out in your own time, I don't think you'll be disappointed because that song is pretty hard
Very Judas Priest sounding. That is my favorite one too. I too started with them then went to thrash and death metal.
Love you guys! Great Vlog!!
Vince Neil is where Aerosmith came up with "Dude Looks Like a Lady". They walked in on a set and saw him from behind.
Not that Steven Tyler should talk. He looked like an ugly old lady.
Caitlyn Jenner says what??
Mark West *is dead*
Did not know that. Vince Neil is a badass though.
They were and still are for real. Real concert!
Loved your all's reaction to this song, the best I've seen! You see why so many people love Motley Crue. These guys bring it and they have written some great hard rock classics.
