Probably the most under-rated album in music history.
I agree with you. IMO it belongs in a holy grail of hard rock releases. Still sounds current, innovative and fresh today (at least to my ears).
This album was way ahead of its time ! Released in the last five years it would have done well !
Totally agree I think they should had record another record with john because he was very talented and he had a really good voice. I think the reason why the motley crue albulm with corabi didn't work it's because it was the end of the golden era of glam and heavy metal and the beginning of grunge/ rap so the people didn't care a lot about the albulm... Fire corabi waw a big mistake
I agree that this album is very innovative and it really utilizes a sound that is heavy and beautiful and really ahead of it's time, but I have to disagree that it's *the* most underrated album of music history. It is ONE OF the most underrated albums of music history, definitely in the top 10.
@@nathandevane1725 Just using a bit of hyperboly there.
But it has to be pretty high. Mostly in terms of how badly rated it WAS on release, compared to how great it was. The discrepency there is huge compared to other underrated albums.
I would say that probably about as high as this, but with not so much of a huge gap between how hated it was and how great it actually was, would be the demolition 23 album from around the same time. Absolutely stellar album that also still holds up today 100%
Or d-generation album from the same period. Not quite as good today as it was back then, but still hugely under-represented in the music scene
All of a sudden Motley Crue became a serious and creative rock and roll band. The garish silly cartoon was over for awhile. John Corabi is the real deal.
Best album they ever did, and I loved everything they did previously.
Vince has a very unique voice and will forever be Motley Crue but IMO the album with Corabi was one of the best and heaviest Motley albums.
This IS the Motley Crüe that I love.
Best drum sound in that album..
It is a great drum sound!
I agree. The drums were amazing. The whole band, actually, played their asses off on this album. Production was fantastic as well.
Yes! And the only album the guitar didn't have that thin,whiny sound.
One of the best I’ve ever heard
Tommy Lee's drumming is pretty epic on this album... I personally loved this record when it came out and all these years later nothing has changed...
Saw the tour with John....they were so heavy and powerful.
I saw them previously 3 times with Vince...and the show with John was far superior.
Love the album they did with John....was it exactly CRUE?! Not sure...but musically its the strongest record they put out....and live John is and will forever be a much stronger vocalist. I understand Vince is the guy most people think of when they picture the voice of Crue (and I like TFFL & SATD) but I woukd have loved to see where they could have gone if they kept John in the band. Not to mention...I've met John several times....cool as hell and humble....met Vince twice...total arrogant douchebag both times.
Joe Peters sounds like grunge rip off it’s fucking trash
I F'N LOVE TRASH ✌
I’m glad to see with UA-cam and years later that people agree with me about Corabi. He was damn good!! Humble guy too
@@salt27dogg He was excellent. They made a mistake taking Neil back. He never was a good singer. He held them back. They could've really been a credible rock and roll band had they stuck with John. Instead they're a joke coasting by on nostalgia.

My favorite Crue album! Should have made a couple more albums together!
Organically (in my opinion )this is the real version of the band.Corabi compliments Mick so well.Corabi was the missing piece.Elektra and money killed this.

I respect your opinion. But have to whole heartedly disagree, he instantly turned this band into a grunge weird band. (Not saying it was bad at all) just not motley crue
Money they didn't make back anyway. Generation Swine sold even less that MC94 and New Tattoo less than that. They should have stuck it out.
John Corabi with the Scream were a great group.
Outside of the debut, this is the best album Motley Crue ever released.
Best Crue album ever !! Motley Corabi !!!!!
I wish John would grab Mick and get Tommy on drums and go do another tour of this album. That would be pretty cool
i'd definitely go see that!!
Wished they continued with John
Well, I heard they just fired Vince for the reunion tour, so you never know.
Great album, I love it. Very underrated.
El mejor álbum pesado de motley ❤🎉 heavy album 1994
This is First time I heard this , the 1994 release is Motley crue' most honest, artistic , and creative albums they released.
Cool, they're discussing Izzy Stradlin's first solo album at around 1:09:00, praising how great it is. The song they're discussing is "Shuffle it all". Awesome.
Underrated album. Really showcases the Motley groove! PLAY LOUD 🎸
Nikki was right when he said they took 1/4 out and replaced it with a stronger 1/4. But then they fired the better ingredient and brought back the weaker one.
I think right then they proved they cared more about the money than the music 🤔✌
@@askledhead Yes, they absolutely sold out at that point.
And it really shows.
I loved crue with Vince back in the 80's. But the Corabi album was the right move for them. None of them wanted to take Vince back, but the sound of the money coming rolling in took over and so they sold their souls to the label.
And you could tell they were never really happy about it until that final tour, when they seemed happy because they knew it would soon be over.
Electra records wanted Vince back.
T Porter I agree!!! It must’ve been a corporate decision . Otherwise they would’ve gave Corabi at least one more album especially in the mid 90s where music was changing
Teri Kay he helped write 80 percent of Generation Swine. He even taught Vince how to adapt his voice to the songs. Nikki wanted to be in control of everything. Nikki fired all the staff and wanted to produce the album himself. It was a mess.
Very well made compilation.
Thanks ! This is great stuff and much appreciated.
Glad you enjoyed! If you haven't noticed, I've added some more John Corabi era stuff and hope you'll consider subscribing. Rock on!
Thanks for uploading this Motley f*ckin Crue with John Corabi...the Crue era which not much seen before..
I Love Motley Crue with Vince Neil..the first reason i became Crue True Fan since 1991's Decade of Decadence album released..
In the 1st time i heard Motley Crue self title in 1994 with John Coraby..i dont like it..why? Crue is Vince, Mick, Nikki n Tommy..
But 2nd times and keep on listening the self title album + mini album Quaternary..then i became addicted to it..
For me, my 1st Favorite is still Decade of Decadence, the 2nd will be Motley Crue selft title album..
2 Motley vocalists versions are great to me.
MOTLEY CRUE FOREVER❤!
Yo. I am so glad I found this. Been a HUGE fan of this CD since it released when I was 14. It’s a perfect album. Been going down the rabbit hole and thrilled to see how popular it is. Thank you for this compilation! 🤘
Thank You So Much For This!!
You are welcome! Hope you enjoyed. Watch for some more Corabi Crue rarities in the very near future!
@@detonatoronline3830 I can't wait!
@@joelopez5624 I have a concert coming up this evening with Corabi Crue from 94. Enjoy!
Netflix needs to make this into the dirt 2 the John corabi years. With the same actors from the dirt
This is a document for future rock bands about what not to do with your career after having initial comercial success
No. It's how a band correctly advanced in every way , yet the powers that be pushed them too the side and brought up flash in the pans too replace them.
We all see how far the top Grunge bands went down and are never making a comeback , and I the ones that are around. The exception being Foo Fighters , sure as AF aren't selling out too 50 , 60k on stadium tours like GNR , Poison , Def Leppard & Crue
I bought this album on cassette tape back in the day and loved it. But wow, seeing this retrospective is pretty telling. As a younger fan who luckily managed to see the Crue multiple times they did unnecessarily dog Vince a lot during this era, while Vince took the highroad. You can see how insecure Nikki is going: "That was the past bla bla" "We took 1/4th out and replaced it with something better. Wow, give me a f'k break. That past gave you a roof over your head, a luxury lifestyle and a viable musical career. There's no denying how musically diverse and good this album was. However, Vince's record with Steve Stevens (which I bought on cassette tape also) wasn't chopped liver either.
To me, "Exposed" was the real follow up to Dr Feelgood, a gem of hard rock no doubt. MC94 is another animal, and 15 years later, it still grows on me.
I just read your comment and had to do a quick search.
It's unfortunate Crue replaced Neil, I didn't know that happened. Corabi brings a bluesy-whiskey sound with more complicated riffs.
I had to go listen to "Exposed" and Neil still sounds like I'm at a biker party. . .lol
All in all brother, thanks for the insightful comment
Wow, let me tell you something , i´m a HUGEEEE FAN of Motley , specially this record with john and i had never seen this before, i´m enjoying it a lot, i will continue watching, i´ve seen 10 minutes so far and i´m loving it.
Just a GREAT album
Wow they should have stuck with this it’s real music timeless really good stuff
CasSandra Wilcox nope it’s a cardboard cut out of the grunge era it’s fucking terrible, soundgarden wannabe era it should be called
Absolutely, I am always surprised how well it aged.
John is without a doubt the better singer, and the album he was on is one of the better Crue albums. Somehow though, Vince seems to fit the band better. It's a pity in the last few years of the band he would get out of breath singing a single line, it's embarassing telling people you're a Crue fan when the singer of said band looks like a parody of himself on stage.
Vicne was dodne after Exposed, great album btw. Then 18 years of embarasment with him back.
MÖTLEY CORABI FUCKING ROCKS
What an allegory. A band that used to symbolize, in 1983, all the dirt, danger, vice and rebellion in RnR trying to keep it encapsulated in 1994, with a couple of well-mannered suits and dresses around. Even the band has a "clean" rock image.
MAGNIFICO CD
Damn good record
Capable and professional as John is, I think he doesn't have an instantly recognizable voice, which, all flaws considered, Vince had. The album is also darker and less pop-oriented than Feelgood... seriously underrated.
this was the best Motley Crue album, by far! i was so disappointed when i heard Vince Neil was coming back!
GOAT..band
Self Titled Very good album! Probly best musically😄
One could only imagine the band could have morphed into had the label, money, and yes fans not killed it...
Motley was my first concert on the Theater of Pain tour... Remember the part in the Heroin Diaries where Nikki talks about the kid in Huntsville, Alabama getting his eye put out....Yep, I was there...and also saw them when they came back with G'nR and Slash hurting his neck and being in a neck brace...
Anyway, I love the classic disc with Vince, I grew up on it...but the '94 disc, IMO, just hits different and I play it more than any of the others...
Would not mind one bit if Crabby came out with them on the Stadium tour playing rhythm and played cuts from it and let Vinnie take a breather....
MÖTLEY CORABI ROCKS
I didn't like it at the time but I've become obsessed with it lately. It's a great album. John is a MUCH better singer. Imo, Vince was always the weak link.
famouslastwords 2019 my feelings exactly when it came out I remember not liking it because it didn’t sound like Motley but now it’s my absolute favorite Mötley album. I think if they had changed their name before this album it would have been alot more successful
@@frogmor3735 Yes,i completely agree. This was a different band. Like a rockin, hungry band. No bullshit Smoking in the Boys Room here, these guys are JAMMING.
Corabi with Crue, Blaze Bayley with Iron Maiden were replacements that were just at the wrong time when metal changed. Only Andi Deris of Helloween survived but that was not in the USA
Very good examples Teri ~ Krash
Vince, in my opinion, belongs in Motley Crue. He is a better frontman, but " Crabby" ( John's nickname ) is a better vocalist. Glad they got Vince back in the band after this album. It was an awesome album, & Vince had two great albums during this period. Motley isn't Motley without Vince. Just my two cents. Please respect my opinion, as I respect all of yours.
Never been a MC fan but I just heard and dig the album with JC ✌
I absolutely love the MC94 album - IMO it belongs in a "holy grail" of 90's hard rock and still sounds fresh today (at least to my ears). Sometimes I'll play it around others who like rock and metal without saying who it is and they instantly perk up, digging the hell out of it, and asking who it is. But...the history the four guys (Vince, Nikki, Tommy and Mick) was undeniable. We will never know if it would have been better accepted if they had changed the name of the band but thought it was and still is a brilliant release. Hope you'll consider subscribing and checking out my other Crue stuff! I love both eras.
But isn't that kinda like a big f you to the other 3 guys? Like all their work and influencer doesn't mean shit unless Vince is with them?
Was at the Stadium Tour at Coors Field in Denver, CO last night. I had seen Motley three times in the past, the first time was 1983 (I was 17) in Colorado Springs, CO at the Colo.Spgs. Auditorium...maybe 2500 people. I actually went to see the band who opened for them, SAXON. The other 2 times I saw them I went to see the other bands they were playing with as well...they opened for Ozzy Osbourne and I saw them with the Scorpions. My memories of the 1983 concert are vague but it was a ok concert and a ok band. Personally Motley Crue should have stayed with John Corabi. A more complete band with a very strong sound. Crue ended the night in Denver and I have to say they were the disappointment of the evening. You could really feel they were just going through the motions. If they would have ended the evening with Def Leppard my night would have been complete. I stayed for my son, who idolizes Nikki Sixx. So there you go....:)
John has to keep fronting a band that was broke but He's not only take them to a New Level He make a great Job doing with he Band a great Classic Mötley Crüe song "Hooligans Holyday"
If the guys were serious about music they would have kept John, called themselves something else, and moved away from the glam trappings. I have no idea how controlled they were by management to make such a thing possible.
To this day I don't know why they felt compelled to go back to Neal. The album with Corabi was so powerful. Crue sounded like a complete band for the first time. Vince Neal sounds like a whiny little girl, when compared to Corabi. Oh well...
Because they weren't selling with Corabi. Management pretty much told them to bring back Vince.
1tubey didn’t sell didn’t make the charts sounded like a bootleg soundgarden, fucking trash
@@mattysixx Right, but... look how bad they've sounded since they went back to Vince.
Totally agree I think they should had record another record with john because he was very talented and he had a really good voice. I think the reason why the motley crue albulm with corabi didn't work it's because it was the end of the golden era of glam and heavy metal and the beginning of grunge/ rap so the people didn't care a lot about the albulm... Fire corabi waw a big mistake
Again, they sold even less with Vince back. Not counting SOLA, that is more than a decade later, too far removed.
"Women, hairspray, and fire...dude, who wrote these questions?"
Beavis, maybe?
Sounds good with Corabi but more like a alternative band and not like Motley Crue. Maybe thats the problem with his fans. Im not a fan of MC thats why i like this sound with Corabi.
Me too , didn't care for MC but I like the JC stuff . I wouldn't of even listened to if the "The Dirt" hadn't came out ✌
Yea but that 94 album wasnt just alternative sounding,it had a few HUGE metal moments and also soulful cuts as well!!imo it's EASILY their best work MUSICALLY ,just should have taken the motley crue name off and did something like what Nikki did,maybe sixx A.M. or something,cuz that album was TOO damn good from 1-12 and even the bonus tracks that came out on the motley crucial crue records were good,maybe my favorite rock album period!!its a shame there wasnt some leftover material from that period,besides the SWINE disc that vince ended up on!!
It was Vince neil that you weren't a fan of .
Junto a Corabi motley logró el álbum más maduro ... logró salir de la canción tradicional de años anteriores , el mercado de la.nusica en ese momento estaba cambiando y la gente no lo pudo dijerir
Corabi made Motley a more powerful machine
LOVE the john corabi crue!!! Vince vocals suck and saw them several times before and after vince and vince wants the crowd to sing his songs cuz he cant! These songs are better written and heavier..too bad they dropped him!
I don't know guys this is some picture perfect grooved up, heavy metal rock and roll - I don't know any other Motley Crue that just reaches this level of depth....
And very little else....
Corabi years are
1992 to 1996
Seen um back n late 80s awesome again n late 90s Vince both times great first time. Sucked 2nd time again with John and was better than both with Vince wish he'd made more great music with the crue definitely kicked ass John with the crue keep rockin jc
If they released 10.000 miles, maybe John Corabi era would be as success as Vince era
The record company made the band bring back Neil or they would have to forfeit the record contract
Changing the band name would have been the smart choice. Even now after the fact, kinda the way Black Sabbath did for the Dio Years calling them Heaven & Hell. Only one name would work and that would be Hooligan’s Holiday.
What is the Aerosmith-ish song at 43:28? I don't remember hearing that on the album. I think it ends with "bless my soul I'm dancing in a hole." It sounds better than all the songs that made the album.
I don’t believe it ever made it past this. It’s sounds incredible tho
It turned into Welcome to the Numb
@@lesdeal9395 damn, this version was way better in my opinion. Love the lyrics in this one.
@Bmallo26 there was another version called Chip on my Shoulder as well.
@@lesdeal9395 did anyone ever upload it?
the band had professional filming done of their entire recording process for a home vhs when the album was made. some of this is that footage i would assume.
i would kill to hear a lot of the personality #9 music...i have interviews where nikki and john talked about song titles like " the year i lived in a day", " la dolce vita", "sunrise", and a whole host of others. we will never hear them though.
Mick is one handsome fuck
I think they should had record another record with john because he was very talented and he had a really good voice. I think the reason why the motley crue albulm with corabi didn't work it's because it was the end of the golden era of glam and heavy metal and the beginning of grunge/ rap so the people didn't care a lot about the albulm... Fire corabi was a big mistake
Crue is good with john corabi
John was sooooooo much better then Vince. This isn’t necessarily Crue, it’s a different band. One that is GREAT!! Love Corabi
Incredibly great album with Corabi.....definitely a masterpiece!
IMO - this album still sounds fresh, diverse and innovative at least to my ears. Back then it wasn't well received AT ALL. Seeing them on this tour in La Crosse, WI in 1994, there was less than 1,000 people. Prior, on the Dr. Feelgood tour, they were a few hundred tickets short of a 9,000 sell out. Hope you check out my other Corabi Crue era stuff and consider subscribing!
@@mdwayne741 I've always felt this album was/is a masterpiece. Front to back it is innovative, diverse and still sounds fresh to my ears...one that, IMO, belongs in a holy trinity of hard rock albums.
does anyone knows the reason why Vince came back in the band and therefore John left ? What's behind all this ?
My take is the album flopped when released, and the tour flopped. They found that most of their fanbase needed their Motley Crue with Vince. Management told them they need to get Vince back in. They caved.
Vince left cause he couldn't handle the death of his little girl dying from cancer. He shut everyone out.
They quit drugs and they couldn't handle each other. They were on the road a lot and they didn't party. The split is unclear. The music was changing either way and with Vince that probably couldn't happen. His daughter got really sick during his solo album. The return was pressure from the record label and managment. They were already were writing Generation Swine. John had to teach Vince all of it. You can hear some clips on UA-cam. After they officially split with John he just bought a car and his girl left him. All in the same day. He went to a park over looking the city and put a gun in his mouth and broke down. He started Union after that. They were good but not great. A couple years ago John toured doing 1994 in completion with a band. Mars is said to be working with John on his solo album with Tommy. I thought I heard this wasn't going to happen because Nikki had them sign a contract preventing them working with John.
$$$
@@Stacycash2024 vince left 3 yrs before his daughter passed.
Vince was a good frontman but him crying about not getting his way and then came harder louder corabi and was way better but old 80s fans couldn't move on with the times this album would have fit in so well in the 2000's with korn and limp bizkit and nu wave metal was coming and thia is perfect for that.
The Dirt referenced at 15:17
New Tattoo referenced at 29:24
Corabi had the voice but not the look just like cherone in van halen thats why it failed sad to say.
Exactly.
If they had re named the band with John Corabi in it, it would have done better...but this album is a gem!
1:14:05 what are they watching, can anyone identify the adult movie …
A bit of a weird album, without Vince, who sucks as a singer anyway. However, this one doesn't sound the way it does because Vince isn't there, there's much more to it. Darker, faster vibe. More serious stuff, hard to find these days. In fact, I don't find it anywhere for quite a while now. We may be looking at an extinct breed... These goofy guys with their long hair are nothing less than brilliant. This album is a high standard all time classic. Consider this Solaris, compared to Titanic.
I was a teen in the early 70s so wasn't into late 80s hair bands or RATT/Crue.
But I did like alternative, industrial and grunge of the early-mid 90s as well as Corabi era Motley Crue.
The band should have done what Guns & Roses and RATM did when their original singers left by changing their name i.e Velvet Revolver and Audioslave.
When they brought back Vince Neil he sounded awful and their albums were piss-poor at best.
Feel very fortunate to have seen them perform live outdoors THIRTY years ago w/Type O Negative opening.
They shouldve stuck it out with Corabi.
Theyre seriously kidding themselves with Vince
John is a great singer. Actually, he is is a true professional and has always said great things about Vince and actually vice versa. It was a heavier sound, but it also came across as "forced" like the grunge scene hit and it was like "oh cR*ap how do we stay relevant"? Ok, lets deny our past. Nikki looks like he raided Izzy Stradlins wardrobe (which works for Izzy not Sixx). To be honest the best part of this era of Crue was Corabi . Fans got it right, it wasn't Motley
All you guys should have supported this album in 94' if you LOVE IT like you claim you do. If this album had even 1 hit or a marginal hit maybe Elektra and Motley would have made a 2nd record but NO nobody supported this record at all and Elektra wanted to use the new Crue as a Tax write off.
Truth hurts.
I love the Crue. I have loved the band when I started getting into music in 1987, but these guys were dicks after Vince was out of the band. Taking shots all the time, calling him fat. I found it to be a bit childish for guys in their mid 30’s. I honestly don’t know how they were able to ever mend fences.
Total no-win scenario. This iteration of the band is too different to call it Motley Crue (both Van Halen and AC/DC still sounded like the same band with different singers), but it probably still would have not gotten the proper exposure with a different name. Crying shame, since it's a great album.
I have no idea what MattySixx comment even means. Lol. Is he 5 and stole his mommy's phone?
@30:23 you will never hear such complete drug fucked bullshit in your lives. Nikki Sixx is the most talentless bass player to ever fake it big. Incredible luck that band had.
Obiviously they put coraby due to the grunge pressure style
It’s a great album, but it’s not Motley Crue. Generation Swine would have been the same with Corabi on vocals. It still would have sucked. Not a good evolution.
Clowns, all of them.
your mom
The worst era ever, this is motley crue, not staind or some grunge band
The last time they've actually been kinda good.
👍
MÖTLEY CORABI FUCKING ROCKS
