Too Fast For Love is the debut from Mötley Crüe, the original
bad boys of LA, who without question were the leaders of new
Glam / Hair Metal scene. The album has held up rather well over
the years. It's rough around the edges on a couple of the songs,
but as a whole it's a very solid and well balanced hard rock
album. It's hard for me to use the term "Heavy Metal" now
because the genre has evolved so much that to me what we have
left here now is Hard Rock to my ears, even though back in the
day it was definitely the epitome of Metal.
Like most people, I got my introduction these guys with Shout
Out The Devil. If I remember correctly, I don't think I even got
around to picking this one up till after Theather Of Pain. So
back then it was a very jarring experience coming from the more
refined metal record of Devil and then the more polished Pain. I
did remember seeing the video for Live Wire during the Shout At
The Devil days and criticizing them for being a poor knockoff of
KISS.
Tommy Lee sure does like his cowbell. Mick Mars has some pretty
cool riffs all over this album.
Fave Songs: Livewire, Public Enemy #1, Take Me To The Top,
Starry Eyes, Too Fast For Live and On With The Show. Too Fast
For Love gets the MVP award here.
The album cover is a homage to that of The Rolling Stones own
Sticky Fingers cover. So...props.

Shout At The Devil was my introduction to Mötley Crüe. A friend
of mine was a huge fan and had posters, buttons and of course
the audio cassette. She let me check it out and I thought this
was the scariest, most dangerous band out there. Nikki Sixx just
looked like one scary dude. I ended up buying my own copy on
cassette and my Mom did whatever she could to persuade me to
throw it away. She really thought they were devil worshipers and
I would be influence in a bad way. I had to explain to her that
they fell in line with KISS and that it was all for show. She
relented eventually given the fact that I wasn't a bad seed
after worshiping KISS.
As for this album, it holds up extremely well. This is the album
I think of when any discussion about Hair Metal is brought up.
The album opens up with a cool little intro called In The
Beginning that segues right into Shout At The Devil. But it
doesn't really kick into high gear until Looks That Kill. This
song still kicks major ass. As great as this song is, the MVP
goes to Too Young To Fall In Love. The riff that Mick Mars came
up with is deviously cool and one that I use to play on guitar
all the time. Love it.
The 2003 Remastered Edition comes with demos for Shout at the
Devil, Looks That Kill, Hotter Than Hell, Too Young to Fall in
Love and the unreleased I Will Survive. The album as a whole is
good, not perfect. It does suffer from a couple of fillers that
knocks the rating down.
Fave Songs: Shout At The Devil, Looks That Kill, Helter Skelter,
Too Young To Fall In Love and Danger.
For obvious reasons, they had to drop the original cover. I
mean, did they really think they could pass that off to
mainstream shops and not court controversy? The version of the
cover they ended up settling on works and is a classic in my
eyes. But I did always think that this album had 2 back covers
with the 4 boxes in the front with each member.

Theatre Of Pain is the follow up to Shout At The Devil and comes
on the heels of Vince Neil's DUI arrest for manslaughter,
stemming from a car accident that resulted in the death of Hanoi
Rocks drummer Nicholas "Razzle" Dingley.
I bought Pain based solely on Smoking In The Boys Room, in spite
of it being a different sounding Crüe, i.e. more "polished"
which is a nice way of saying Glam. Overall the album is good
but doesn't quite reach the level of SATD. It's because of the
different style of playing that I hardly seem to play this
anymore. It lacks that killer agressive sound established
earlier. Having said that, it does have the honor of having the
greatest power ballad of all time: Home Sweet Home. There have
been a lot of power ballads over the years to challenge Home for
the best, but they all fail in the end. I know that every single
person here and around the world actually "sings" the guitar
solo from Home Sweet Home. Don't even try to pretend you don't.
Fave Songs: Smoking In The Boys Room, Home Sweet Home, Tonight
(We Need A Lover) and Fight For Your Rights
The 2003 Remastered Edition comes with demos and outtakes for
Home Sweet Home, Smokin' in the Boys' Room, City Boy Blues, Home
Sweet Home (Instrumental Rough Mix), Keep Your Eye on the Money
and Tommy's Drum Piece from Cherokee Studios
The album cover was iconic then and still is now.

Girls, Girls, Girls is an improvement over Theatre Of Pain and
kicks it off in style with the best track on the record: Wild
Side. Probably one of the best "drum" songs ever with the
chugging rhythm section throughout to keep it moving along.
Sadly, after this, the rest of the album kind of goes downward a
notch. Solid record, but nowhere near that of Shout At The Devil
when it comes to pure raw, aggressive Metal.
Still plenty of good songs. But they don't quite keep up with
the opening track. It has it's high points with Wild Side,
Girls, Girls, Girls, All In The Name Of... and You're All I
Need. But the rest of the album is filled with at best, average
tracks. Nona is too short to be considered a song, but it's
still worth a listen. The album concludes with a live cover
version of Elvis Presley's Jailhouse Rock.
Fave Songs: Wild Side, Girls, Girls, Girls, Nona, All In The
Name Of... and You're All I Need
The 2003 Remastered Edition comes with demos and instrumentals
songs for Girls, Girls, Girls, Wild Side, Rodeo (unreleased
track), Nona and All In The Name Of....
The album cover pretty sums it all up right here. Sleazy rock
and roll and plenty of t*tties. I approve.

[/CENTER]
Dr. Feelgood is the definitive Mötley Crüe album. They enlisted
one of the best hard rock / metal producers in the business with
Bob Rock to come up with this...their masterpiece. He has
produced some great albums over the years with the likes of
Metallica, Bon Jovi, Aerosmith and David Lee Roth just to name a
few. And what he did with Crüe and this album is clear right
from the start. They weren't f*cking around this time. It goes
to show that maybe, just maybe, that being sober and kicking
drugs is in fact a good thing when it comes to writing and
playing, because their songwriting is top notch here.
The thing that immediately hits you in the face...er, ears when
the album kicks off is the sonic ferocity of Mick Mars guitars
on Dr. Feelgood and Slice Of Your Pie. He really has grown into
a great player with killer riffs and leads by the time of
recording Dr. Feelgood. The entire album is filled with great
hooks, melodies and just all around kick ass songs that even
non-fans would like. The entire album is about as perfect as
you can get from top to bottom. The track list couldn't have
been put together more perfectly.
The guest singers are a who's who of big names lending
background vocals such as Bryan Adams, Sebastian Bach, Robin
Zander, Jack Blades, Rick Nielsen and Steven Tyler.
The 2003 Remastered Edition comes with demos for Dr. Feelgood,
Without You, Kickstart My Heart, Time For Change and an
unreleased track for Get It For Free. The 2009 20th Anniversary
Expanded Edition comes with live versions of Dr. Feelgood,
Without You, Kickstart My Heart, Same Ol' Situation (S.O.S.) and
Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away).
This album is one of a few that I gladly double...triple dipped
on. Bring on the next "Whatever-Edition". I'm there.
Fave Songs: Every last one of them. MVP goes to....Kickstart My
Heart
The album cover to me is a winner and iconic.

This is NOT a review
[/CENTER]
So, what does Mötley Crüe decide as the best course of action
with the future of the band after arguably their finest work
ever? Fire Vince Neil. Or he quit. Who the f*ck knows anymore as
I've heard both sides and I'm still left in the dark as to what
is true or not. What I do know is that the original 4 did get
together to start work on the follow up to Dr. Feelgood. But
Vince and Nikki Sixx got into a fight. The rest is history.
Anyways. In to replace Vince is John Corabi. I never heard of
him till he landed the plum gig as Crüe's new singer. The only
time I have ever heard anything off this album were from the 2
music videos for Hooligan's Holiday and Misunderstood. As for
Misunderstood, I didn't even know a video existed until I picked
up Mötley Crüe's Greatest Video Hits on DVD. What's ironic is
that I have always been a fan of both songs. They don't suck.
And yet, for some reason, I just have never felt the need to go
out and pick this up. Probably because I just can't picture this
band other than the original 4. Go figure.
Album cover sucks IMO. And since I have never bothered to go and
pick it up, I don't know exactly how many different versions
there are. I remember these two though. Could be more. I dunno.

After the failure of their last album with John Corabi, the
original 4 members are back together since the release of Dr.
Feelgood. But like everything within the band, the music cliamte
had changed. Now they are having to deal with grunge as the
flavor of the decade. And because of that Generation Swine does
incorporate elements of grunge and alt-rock to some degree. This
is definitely not Dr. Feelgood Part 2.
This isn't a bad album. It's just average at best. Just not what
I would call a true "Crüe" album by any stretch here. It's
really hard to even say that it has any standout songs other
than perhaps Glitter. I do give the song Brandon props for going
outside of the box. Waaaaaaaaaaaay outside and turning it into
full orchestral piece for Tommy Lee.
Fave Songs: Afraid, Glitter, Rocketship and Brandon
The 2003 Remastered Edition comes with demos for Rocketship and
Confessions, unreleased tracks for Wreck Me and Kiss the Sky and
a remix for Afraid.
The album cover is kind of stupid from a marketing standpoint.
It's the first Mötley Crüe album with the original band since
1989. So why cover up the band and not hype the return of the
guys which would be plastering their mugs front and center. It
is the first thing people walking down the aisles will notice.
But then again, Pig masks does have it's charms. Oh well.

I know nothing about New Tattoo, other than that Tommy Lee quit
the band to pursue his side project Methods Of Mayhem. With Lee
out of the band, they brought in long time Ozzy Osbourne drummer
Randy Castillo. Sadly, he would pass away due to illness. For
the subsequent tour to promote the album, Samantha Maloney
(Hole) filled in behind the kit. Very good drummer and held her
own as seen in Lewd, Crüed and Tattooed Live. Review of the DVD
coming later.
The only song I can remember even hearing off of this album was
the video for Hell On High Heels. Album cover here is meh.
The 2003 Remastered Edition comes with demos for 1st Band On The
Moon and P*rno Star.
