Mötley Crüe

Oh jeez, I don't even wanna comment on this band...well, what the heck. Motley Crue put out two solid metal albums, then went POP--and, of course, became instantly popular! However, after years of enduring endless radio and MTv overplay, I finally came around to liking one or two of their post-"Shout at the Devil" hits. I would buy their greatest hits album if it weren't for that damn remix of "Live Wire" (though I've never heard it, I know it SUCKS, remixes ALWAYS suck, and speaking of remixes, I never thought they could make "Home Sweet Home" any worse than it was to begin with, BOY WAS I WRONG!!!)

Motley Crue's also done a song for the Adventures of Ford Fairlane soundtrack, not that it's worth mentioning...

"Too Fast for Love"

  1. "Live Wire" (3:14)
  2. "Come On and Dance" (2:45)
  3. "Public Enemy #1" (4:20)
  4. "Merry-Go-Round" (3:22)
  5. "Take Me to the Top" (3:43)
  6. "Piece of Your Action" (4:38)
  7. "Starry Eyes" (4:30)
  8. "Too Fast for Love" (3:22)
  9. "On with the Show" (4:00)

Except for the awesome "Live Wire", their signature track, I wasn't impressed at all with this record when it first came out. Sounds a whole lot better now, though. Here's a surprise, it turns out that since Motley Crue switched record labels, all their CDs are currently OUT OF PRINT! And they're selling for BIG bucks on eBay! Well, I'm sure it's only temporary, since it's MOTLEY CRUE, for chrissakes...still, I made a special point of picking up the next copy I saw in the used bins. :)

"Shout at the Devil"

  1. "In the Beginning" (1:13)
  2. "Shout at the Devil" (3:16)
  3. "Looks That Kill" (4:07)
  4. "Bastard" (2:54)
  5. "God Bless the Children of the Beast" (1:33)
  6. "Helter Skelter" (3:09)
  7. "Red Hot" (2:20)
  8. "Too Young to Fall in Love" (3:34)
  9. "Knock 'Em Dead Kid" (3:40)
  10. "Ten Seconds to Love" (4:17)
  11. "Danger" (4:44)

This album came out just as I was turning on to heavy metal. My friends used to point at the cover and laugh, but when I bought the crappy vinyl, they stopped laughing... (On the other hand, another heavy metaler friend and Judas Priest fan, was laughing for an entirely different reason.) Hey, lighten up guys, I like this album! Especially the video they made for "Looks that Kill", ah those feral babes in scantily clad furs... :))~~~~~
