Opinions on Motley Crue?

Poor man's Mr. Big

Mr. Big was just riding the sleaze/hair-metal wave. Crue was the first to do it, influenced by Van Halen, Hanoi Rocks and New York Dolls.

great band live, very groovy, good showmanship

Yeah I just prefer Big to Crue, they were the last implicit stand against Nirvana.

First two albums are classics, the rest are just uninspired pop-metal from the 80s. Skid Row and Guns N' Roses are both better.

Boring

Whoooaa
Yeeeaaah

Shout at the Devil [Elektra, 1984]

It should come as no surprise that this platinum product is utter dogshit even by heavy metal standards. Under orders from editors unable to distinguish Iron Maiden from Wynton Marsalis, my beleaugered colleagues at the dailies have been saying so all year and every insult goes into the press kit. Still, I must mention Mick Mars's dork-fingered guitar before getting to the one truly remarkable thing about this record--a track called "Ten Seconds to Love" where singer Vince Neil appears to actually boast (!) about how fast he can ejaculate. Therein I believe lies the secret to their appeal--if you don't got it, flaunt it. Followup--"Pinkie Prick". D

Decade of Decadence '81 to '91 [Elektra, 1992] :(

Vince Neil is absolute human waste.

I used to think Nikki Sixx was the vocalist for Motley Crue. Don't know why.

Hate their music but their autobiography is among the greatest things I've ever read.

Nah, Scar Tissue is better.

>>75113596
Cause he wrote 90% of the songs and lyrics

Mr. Big are actually great musicians, only Mick Mars is a p good guitar player, Sixx and Lee are nothing special.

>>75111698
Probably one of the most overrated bands ever

Even their singles are boring.

I'll enjoy girls girls girls if it comes on in a bar tho

Nikki Sixx has admitted he's shit as a bassist, his skill is mostly as a songwriter and handling the band's PR/business side.
