I loved this album; I still love it. The diversity of all the songs shows that having John in the band really helped them grow. Unfortunately a lot of the fans wanted Vince back. One way they could have fixed it would have been to change the band name, kind of like Velvet Revolver was Guns n' Roses without Axl Rose. Just my 3 1/2 cents.
To see the problem with changing the band name all we have to do is compare Pantera to Super Joint or Damage Plan ,it's extremely rare for bands to change their super famous front man to succeed ,being what we would consider to be a Super Group hasn't meant slot to kids the last few decades .
These interviews are great. Open and honest. The guests aren't there to sell anything. The interviewer doesn't interrupt every thirty seconds. Great stuff.
Can I love both the Vince Neil and John Corabi eras of Motley Crue please? Seriously. This band was absolutely blessed to have almost 40 years of great music with some replacement members here and there. John Corabi, Randy Castillo, Samantha Maloney were all great helping to push the Crue foward.
Try closer to 20 yrs,it was the 80's and then even in the 90s they only released 2 studio albums and 2 greatest hits albums and the 00's decade was again 2 studio records,8 yrs apart and another greatest hits package,R,W&CRUE along with a couple new singles just like DECADE OF DECADENCE and THE GREATEST HITS in 1998,so if u chop it all up it was truly just ONE AMAZING DECADE OF THE 80'S and imo along with SHOUT their best album in 94 with CORABI and really nothing until they came full circle in mid 00's and were now officially a nostalgic act and could just tour every few yrs and rake millions hand over fist and are now just GREEDY bastards and could care less about their fans,who made them what they are EXTREMELY RICH!!
John is very grounded and understands how things work. You can have an amazing album with killers songs but you also need a little luck. Consumers are fickle.
Nirvana released "In Utero" in September of 1993, Soundgarden Released their album "Superunknown" in march of 1994. Both of those albums had monster hit singles, in the heat of all this grunge success Pantera releases "Far beyind driven" in March of 1994, in spite of all the grunge saturation on Mtv and the radio, Far Beyond Driven reaches Number 1 on billboards top 200 albums and was certified platinum. That's Killing it. It doesn't much matter when their first major label album came out.
Great points all around. IMHO, this record would've been more huge if it wasn't called "Motley Crue". Crue were the 80's. Decade of Decadence was their GH, and a send off. The two new songs on it were grunge light. It worked with Vince and his vocals. But Corabi is overall a better singer and vocalist. This wasn't a Black Sabbath, Van Halen or AC/DC situation. Even a Bad Company thing.... Paul Rodgers/Brian Howe. The 4 mentioned are classic rock and were perceived as that. Crue, for all the success, were looked at as a "Hair Band" and were seen as such. That 1994 lp is classic rock and it seems like fans are coming around. It went Gold. After all this time, it should be platinum. Like John said, do the best you can and pray others do their job too. TY.
It does because I was only referring to the bands from the '80s, not every freakin' '90s metal band that had success during the grunge era. The first time I saw Pantera play live was in 1984 and even I consider them to be a '90s band. Would it make you feel better if I included White Zombie, NIN and Stone Temple Peckers?....or maybe Marilyn Manson....while we're at it, let's throw in Ministry....or how about Korn, they sold 2 million on the first album released in 1994, they also went platinum before Vulgar did and 2X platinum before Vulgar. Deftones, their 1995 album went platinum. Maybe we just go on forever and include the late '90s bands like System of a Down and Slipknot. Just kidding. During my conversation with John, I was only trying to draw a comparison to those bands that Motley came up with because the guys in Motley acted like it was John's fault for the record flopping. My apologies for not thinking to include a local glam band from Arlington, TX, fronted by Phil Anselmo, that 40K were aware of prior to 1990.

Pantera were an accepted cool 'crossover' band along with Rob Zombie and Ministry. In the late Eighties it was cool to be into Guns'N'Roses and hate Poison, BUT, it was super, OR, uber cool to like Metallica.
Was living in Malibu 90 ta 96 use ta workout at the Malibu gym on the pch got friendly with tommy Lee he invited me ta come by his house while they were recording this amazing fat sounding album that I love John was so cool ta hang with along with tommy nikki and mick good memories
Best album from Tommy, Mick and Nikki in their "Motley" days.. Musically fantastic. John brought out the best of them. John's voice was perfect on that album.
The more time that passes, the more convinced I am that this was their best album post-Shout. Only thing they did that had any fn balls in the 90s for sure As an aside, he really is a likeable guy.
This album is way underrated. Definitely their best written album & heaviest album. My personal favorite album of theirs. And in my top ten favorite albums of all time.
No one wants to hear and see a glammed out partyband getting serious and heavy. It is a great great heavy hard rock album, and in terms of the quality of the music, lyrics and production the best album the band ever did. But that is what is the matter with the album, it is not by definition a Motley album. Thats why it failed miserably in the charts. And another problem is that it is very hard to replace a singer in a band and maintain popularity. Iron Maiden and Sabbath with Dio is two of very few exceptions., Sammy Hagar in Van Halen another. Motleys fans did not buy into the Crue replacing Vince.
the album he did with Motley is my favourite, Vince Neil did some ok stuff, but his voice was a bit weak i thought for want of better description, but the self titled album with John Corabi had/ has some real balls
This is the best Crue record. Mick is the only member that admits it, but the others know it too. I wish they'd released it under a different name, but I'm sure the stigma would have followed it. But I often hear people say the problem was they tried to sound grunge. They did not. If anyone listens to The Scream, they'll hear where this album is coming from (Corabi) and Motley was drop D (and C#) tuning when the Seattle grunge rockers were in middle school. It's a shame. Still one of my favorite albums of all time and definitely of the decade. The Crab is awesome. 🤘🏻
Tommy's also said he loves the record and that they have tried to play some of the songs from it with Vince a few times (at rehearsals) but its never worked out.
Love the 94 album just purchased an import copy on vinyl. Such a great album song wise & sonically. Johns such a great singer musician & song writer. I’ve been lucky to see him with his great band the Scream & with Motley Crue. Great guy. I wish he would have lasted longer in Crue.
Never heard of Hooligan's Holiday. Just listened to the song - incredible tune and great playing. Someone suggested a different band name for the new sound might have made the difference.
I think a few years ago Mick Mars was going to be involved in a project and working with John. I hope something comes of it. John is a great guitar player as well. I dig on the 94 LP: Smoke the Sky, HH, Misunderstood a great song. Power to the Music, Uncle Jack, just a great LP.
The nine track album-length Japanese version of the *Quarternary EP* and the different remixed versions of the *Hooligans Holiday* single are certainly worth tracking down too. And *Generation Swine* . They sound great!
Corabi can't win.. He's in the same situation as Ronnie Dio and Ripper Owens and the guys who came after Ace and Peter Criss.. Your brain says yes, these are better musicians... But your heart says no.. Technical skill isn't all that matters.. Vince Neil has never been a great singer, but without him, I don't really care about Mötley Crüe... They could have put Chris Cornell in there, and I still wouldn't care...
Although I firmly believe Vince belongs(ed) in Motley Crue, I still think Hooligans Holiday was Crue’s absolute best album ever. And yes, this has twisted my brain for decades. Thanx John, seriously and lol respectively.
It was a great album but Dr. Feel-good was huge and I think people were expecting a Dr feel good type follow up to kinda save 80s hard rock for all the fans that still wanted that sleazy rock n roll dispite grunge's popularity at the time.
@@A-1GINDALOON Oh yeah. John by himself is twice the singer that Vince was. Much less, listen to the depth of groove on that album it's a mile deep. The recording of the drums is just outstanding. Yeah, imo best MC album of all time.
Not sure about the 10 years ahead thing....it has elements of grunge but it is a great rocking record. Suitable for the time but not accepted because of it being Motley Crue...
I saw you guys at Memorial Hall in Kansas City on this tour it was a fun show dude the place was packed I mean I think there’s like 8000 people there 7000 something like that it was packed to the rafters I know it’s not you know your great big arenas but still I thought you did a great job it was a killer show it’s still on the Internet I think there’s a little from that performance if not somewhere that you guys played in the crowds going wild there.
I purchased the self titled release, and i have to say To this day, that release continues to be the best release lyrically, sonically, hands down And nothing that Motley Crue has done since then has even come close They should have kept John Corabi, and kept Vinchenzo in the rear view mirror
Cool guy. These vets that have to slug it out as working musicians and songwriters. I think I just heard this album for the first time last night. It's heavy AF.
I saw the 1994 show in Nashville (Starwood Amphetheater). Was one of the last shows that they did before cancelling the tour. The turnout was dismal. Really sad. Got all of their autographs at Cat's Records and Tapes in Hickory Hollow. Great album, still think that their biggest mistake was calling it Motley Crue. Should never had called it Motley Crue.
This album was the best thing that ever came out under the name Motley Crue. Corabi brought depth, range, and soul. This album is one of the most underrated albums. If I listen to Motley Crue this is the only one I listen to. I really wish John followed threw with his solo project. Vince only brought good looks too the band, and they didn’t last very long. He sucked singing then and sucks now.
John Corabi very talented lad. thought that motley stop-off was awesome simply did not get the attention and possibly promotion it deserved. Humble thought process Mr. Corabi sure you know, we make our own Luck.
Corabi is great - his acoustic shows are killer! The MC’94 thing FOR ME is kind of flat - I feel the choruses were not strong enough overall, and some of tunes seem a little samey. Having said that - “Hooligan’s Holiday” in my opinion is one of the best songs in the Crue catalog, and of the ‘90’s overall ... “Power To The Music” is a little corny, but also crushes!
Hooligans holiday was ok. Best song was til death do us part, drift away , uncle jack was a bit dark but good. The whole record was kickass and ahead of its time. Power to the music was the only so so track
It was bound to b a disaster...especially since they haven't put out anything but garbage since the shout tour ended!! I watched Tesla hand malted crud their asses every nite on the Dr feelgarbage tour.
Something else that's disappointing about all of this is how these kinds of albums get lost to time. As far as I know, Vince has never performed any of the 94 album live, has he? I can't imagine. Anthrax never performs the John Bush era stuff. Judas Priest never performs the Ripper Owens stuff, etc. So these albums get buried and fans just forget about them as the years go by.
@ yep no other genre of music had their heads cut off. Just sunset strip heavy metal. I agree 100% that queensryches last good album was empire. Promised land was God awful. Dog eat dog, subhuman race, native tongue and the crimson idol were all amazing albums. Not just "for that time" but just great records period. Generation swine was the crue album from 97. Pop culture lied to everyone again and they all believed it like sheep. If you bought that album then you know it's good. Afraid, let us prey, glitter and a bunch of other very solid and very heavy tunes
Musically the Motley Crue record is their best record. Their first 2 albums and Dr. Feelgood with Vince are their best with Vince. The rest of their records are good, but just pop hard rock.
Nikki knew Motley were one of the two big bands of the era and in the long run would have weathered the storm. They could have used a different band name with Corrabi and took the hit, having to build things up again but ego and money people spoke loudest. The different band could still be churning out fresh material when they weren't touring with Vince (after the storm) and had their own following. Short sighted thinking.
I mean it was a decent record but that’s about it. They looked cool in the video but I think maybe they should have gone with their gut a bit more and put out an album with more uptempo songs and double bass like live wire and that vein on song. I bought it when it came out and it was ok.
Can any one please point out how pathetic and weak Alternative bands looked like and sounded like back in 94? They downgraded the image and sound of what a band should look like, I mean they looked like nerdy, weirdo, malnutritioned groups that hung out at computer labs, played chess or collected comic books. I am not talking about the long haired Seattle bands or the hard grunge bands but what came after that. I mean mtv and the industry was a mess because 91-92 never really impulsed or influenced hard hitting grunge bands until maybe 97-98 when the post grunge bands showed up like Creed, Godsmack, Sevendust- I mean it was 80s/90s traditional hard rock, tuff guy rock all over again. But in 94-96 it was a crap show with bands made of people that seemed to take bums off the street and they were not even adults but weird kids that were angry at their fathers, looked like Weezer, had not fashion sense and looked like my sister could kick their asses.
It seems that MC wasnt allowed to grow mature song wise by the fans and record company cause the light rock style of the band sells more, Corabi was too good for them a high league player, song writer
I was in grade 7 or 8. My friend, he loved the Crue. But I loved GN'R. So to me they were poseurs. They got a little cooler around Dr.Feelgood. Now I like them a lot! But at the time, No. Total cartoons. I sort of delighted in the break up because my buddy always ripped Axl on his plethora of bullshit LOL. Oh youth. Anyway looking back on it, I have a lot respect for Corabi. Primal Scream was awesome! I'd really love to hear MC with Corabi. They might still relevant if they had ride it out. Vince is washed up, But he'll always have my deepest heart felt sympathy for his daughter. No joke. That's hell on earth.
primal scream was vince...you probably know that, but you were talking about John and then mentioned primal scream. Vince had the perfect voice for the music..he and Stephen pearcy I always found similar back then...they had rough LA sunset strip voices which gave them cred with the guys, but the producers could squeeze some good work out of them on the albums which led to top 40 hits and chicks...Vince gets killed nowadays because he let himself go , but man back in the day he was a huge part of the sound and the image.
John is by far one ot the most underrated musicians, song writers and front men . Period, end of story.
Couldn’t agree more!
Not Bette than Geoff Tate, Michael Kiske, Glen Danzig and at least 100 others
@@turtleneckferret okay sorry. But other than Geoff Tate. I hate to be a funny guy here. But who? Who? Who? And who
No he is not. A minor player in music. That's all.
True story! My man's said period end of story.. that's it. All replies can peace out with love 😁
I loved this album; I still love it. The diversity of all the songs shows that having John in the band really helped them grow. Unfortunately a lot of the fans wanted Vince back.
One way they could have fixed it would have been to change the band name, kind of like Velvet Revolver was Guns n' Roses without Axl Rose. Just my 3 1/2 cents.
Definitely! I wish Sixx and Corabi would start a new project together...
Great idea; they should have done that. Velvet Revolver didn't do badly with the 1st release. Maybe they learned from Motleys mistake..
I think they now want John back. I hope that time will come
To see the problem with changing the band name all we have to do is compare Pantera to Super Joint or Damage Plan ,it's extremely rare for bands to change their super famous front man to succeed ,being what we would consider to be a Super Group hasn't meant slot to kids the last few decades .
It was the first time ever in Motley that Mick Mars wasn't the only true musician.

BRING BACK JOHN!
He’s got a great attitude
Been a fan since 83. The MC release with Corabi on it is their best overall release.
Hands down the best Mötley album of all time.
Most groups that change lead dont excell after.Van Halen going from Roth to Hagar and having more success is rare.

Love this album
John sings on the best 2 albums Crue ever did. They still hold up - don't sound dated at all.

That self-titled album was great.
Nuff said.
I think it’s one of there best albums,it’s a rocking album.
Excellent Excellent
Check out the band he left to join Motley Crue. The band was called "The Scream", titled "Let It Scream" Enough said.
Corabi can't win..
He's in the same situation as Ronnie Dio and Ripper Owens and the guys who came after Ace and Peter Criss..
Your brain says yes, these are better musicians... But your heart says no..
Technical skill isn't all that matters..
Vince Neil has never been a great singer, but without him, I don't really care about Mötley Crüe...
They could have put Chris Cornell in there, and I still wouldn't care...
Oh yeah, 1994 was totally prime time for a massively waning hair metal band with a replacement singer to put out a massively successful album!
woah...you forgot Pantera ...94 was probably their biggest year
That's the Best Crue Album by Far
Although I firmly believe Vince belongs(ed) in Motley Crue, I still think Hooligans Holiday was Crue’s absolute best album ever. And yes, this has twisted my brain for decades. Thanx John, seriously and lol respectively.
that Crue album actually is the best because they have a proper singer on it.
Great. Thank you
listen to 1994 all the time.
Hooligans is my theme song. 🎸🍸
Johns right. Its a good quality album.
The best album with Motley Crue on the cover.
Maybe, one these Days
You can Post the DATE of these Interviews -
Amazing album
I hope he got some good money from his efforts with those guys.
He definitely got the notoriety.
Probably Motleys heaviest album seems like cool dude
The Motley Crue with Corabi was excellent. I wish they would of changed the name of the band and made it it's own thing. Keep rocking Corabi.
It's still the best Crüe album ever.
It is the best motley Crue album, a good solid rock album.
Elektra was never going to push this album. New ceo wanted to bury them.greatest idea was buying back their rights and then selling .brilliant move.

John Corabi !!!! Needs to go hook up with the Sound Garden guys ! He would be the perfect guy to put them back together.
The Best Cd that Motley Crue did was with John Corabi 👏
Yeah sure, if it was Vince speaking you would be kissing his ass
I saw the 1994 show in Nashville (Starwood Amphetheater). Was one of the last shows that they did before cancelling the tour. The turnout was dismal. Really sad. Got all of their autographs at Cat's Records and Tapes in Hickory Hollow. Great album, still think that their biggest mistake was calling it Motley Crue. Should never had called it Motley Crue.
This album was the best thing that ever came out under the name Motley Crue. Corabi brought depth, range, and soul. This album is one of the most underrated albums. If I listen to Motley Crue this is the only one I listen to. I really wish John followed threw with his solo project.
Vince only brought good looks too the band, and they didn’t last very long. He sucked singing then and sucks now.
Would be better than Vince now for the staduim tour.
Great album
Ife the cd was any good thean it wold have sold but it didn't sell shit
Vince Neil's 1993 Solo Album Exposed, Kicks the Shit out of this MC Album.
Corabi needs to take that gold record out of storage, autograph it and sell it to me! C'mon John $$$$$$$$$$
John Corabi very talented lad. thought that motley stop-off was awesome simply did not get the attention and possibly promotion it deserved. Humble thought process Mr. Corabi sure you know, we make our own Luck.
0:52 🏃🏻♂️ Running white face city boy
well guys.....its Motley Crue.
Corabi is great - his acoustic shows are killer!
The MC’94 thing FOR ME is kind of flat - I feel the choruses were not strong enough overall, and some of tunes seem a little samey.
Having said that - “Hooligan’s Holiday” in my opinion is one of the best songs in the Crue catalog, and of the ‘90’s overall ...
“Power To The Music” is a little corny, but also crushes!
Smoke the Sky is incredible.
Their best record
Hooligans holiday was ok. Best song was til death do us part, drift away , uncle jack was a bit dark but good. The whole record was kickass and ahead of its time. Power to the music was the only so so track
This album was better than Motley Crue. They should have given it a different name.
Best record they did. 2. Shout 3. SoL.A.
This was when nikki sixx and the rest of them bashed neil..now all freinds again. $$$
and take into account that Generation Swine was also Gold! The reunion with Vince didn't impact record sales,
It was bound to b a disaster...especially since they haven't put out anything but garbage since the shout tour ended!! I watched Tesla hand malted crud their asses every nite on the Dr feelgarbage tour.
🤣🤣🤣
Something else that's disappointing about all of this is how these kinds of albums get lost to time. As far as I know, Vince has never performed any of the 94 album live, has he? I can't imagine. Anthrax never performs the John Bush era stuff. Judas Priest never performs the Ripper Owens stuff, etc. So these albums get buried and fans just forget about them as the years go by.
Skid row went gold in 95. Warrant in 92. Poison in 93. Queensryche in 94. Generation swine should've went Plat in 97. It was very good too
@ yep no other genre of music had their heads cut off. Just sunset strip heavy metal. I agree 100% that queensryches last good album was empire. Promised land was God awful. Dog eat dog, subhuman race, native tongue and the crimson idol were all amazing albums. Not just "for that time" but just great records period. Generation swine was the crue album from 97. Pop culture lied to everyone again and they all believed it like sheep. If you bought that album then you know it's good. Afraid, let us prey, glitter and a bunch of other very solid and very heavy tunes
Musically the Motley Crue record is their best record. Their first 2 albums and Dr. Feelgood with Vince are their best with Vince. The rest of their records are good, but just pop hard rock.
They'd do well if they went out with him and toured.. Vince sounds like garbage, it'd be awesome
Nikki knew Motley were one of the two big bands of the era and in the long run would have weathered the storm. They could have used a different band name with Corrabi and took the hit, having to build things up again but ego and money people spoke loudest. The different band could still be churning out fresh material when they weren't touring with Vince (after the storm) and had their own following. Short sighted thinking.
I mean it was a decent record but that’s about it. They looked cool in the video but I think maybe they should have gone with their gut a bit more and put out an album with more uptempo songs and double bass like live wire and that vein on song. I bought it when it came out and it was ok.
The best album from that band to date, never enjoyed the vocal sound and style of vince Neil....look and listen to him now.
Can any one please point out how pathetic and weak Alternative bands looked like and sounded like back in 94? They downgraded the image and sound of what a band should look like, I mean they looked like nerdy, weirdo, malnutritioned groups that hung out at computer labs, played chess or collected comic books. I am not talking about the long haired Seattle bands or the hard grunge bands but what came after that. I mean mtv and the industry was a mess because 91-92 never really impulsed or influenced hard hitting grunge bands until maybe 97-98 when the post grunge bands showed up like Creed, Godsmack, Sevendust- I mean it was 80s/90s traditional hard rock, tuff guy rock all over again. But in 94-96 it was a crap show with bands made of people that seemed to take bums off the street and they were not even adults but weird kids that were angry at their fathers, looked like Weezer, had not fashion sense and looked like my sister could kick their asses.
The guy who played him in the movie looked almost nothing like him lol
Dead Dasies ✌️🤘🏴🇦🇺
The song writing in that self titled album is awful. Even Bob Rock couldnt save those songs with his incredible production.
It seems that MC wasnt allowed to grow mature song wise by the fans and record company cause the light rock style of the band sells more, Corabi was too good for them a high league player, song writer
I was in grade 7 or 8. My friend, he loved the Crue. But I loved GN'R.
So to me they were poseurs. They got a little cooler around Dr.Feelgood.
Now I like them a lot! But at the time, No. Total cartoons.
I sort of delighted in the break up because my buddy always ripped Axl on his plethora of bullshit LOL.
Oh youth.
Anyway looking back on it, I have a lot respect for Corabi. Primal Scream was awesome!
I'd really love to hear MC with Corabi. They might still relevant if they had ride it out.
Vince is washed up, But he'll always have my deepest heart felt sympathy for his daughter. No joke. That's hell on earth.
primal scream was vince...you probably know that, but you were talking about John and then mentioned primal scream. Vince had the perfect voice for the music..he and Stephen pearcy I always found similar back then...they had rough LA sunset strip voices which gave them cred with the guys, but the producers could squeeze some good work out of them on the albums which led to top 40 hits and chicks...Vince gets killed nowadays because he let himself go , but man back in the day he was a huge part of the sound and the image.
@@michaelfrazia4569 whoops!😂 You're Right. Egg on my face!
Thanks for the correction.
