This is an older video from our Hair/Glam Metal Marathon on Patreon guys fyi. Enjoy!

I hate to break the news to every body but being young in the 80's was the absolute best, no facebook or instagram or tik tok, just real friends hanging around having fun and rocking out.

Mick Mars is one of THE MOST criminally underrated Guitarists!

"Just cuz we wear lipstick, doesn't mean we can't kick your ass" Motley Crue 1987

Mötley Crüe was all about sex, drugs and rock and roll. No politics, nothing too serious. It was just fun.

This song is the bane of every metal fan who hates glam. This song is just irrefutably amazing. This coming from a black metal fan.

Another hair metal suggestion: “Youth Gone Wild” by Skid Row

Shout at the devil is the the supreme Crue album. Their heaviest most badass metal

Motley in their prime. Nothing could touch them they were on fire back then. They set the standard in 83 with the release of the shout at the devil album and then everyone and their grandmothers tried to jump on the bandwagon

As one of your older viewers who was a teenager in the 80's and a huge metal head, Hair metal was about fun. There wasn't an agenda, political ideology or trying to make a statement. We had a great time, enjoyed life and didn't give a shit. It was a great time for music

Whitesnake - “Still of the Night”. Epic song from the era.

That "rawness " you love so much, that's in all of their songs. It's part of why they are one of the greatest bands in rock history.

The 80s was just a great and a fun time to live. The music reflects the times...

Do “Too Young to fall in love” if you guys like that groove.

Do Motley Crue Live Wire

These guys rocked and partied so hard that Guns n Roses would not tour with them. Have seen them 4 different times, Girls Girls Girls, Generation Swine, and Dr. Feelgood tours. All were amazing!

I am/was a bartender at Bill Graham Auditorium in ‘Frisco. When Crue played last time a few years ago, they were AN HOUR LATE opening the doors. But that was because it took so long for them to assemble Tommy’s drum setup. And Tommy picked some hot chick out of the crowd, strapped her into the passenger seat on his drum set. and took her on a 360 degree roller-coaster ride drum solo. 🤘 Everybody gets old and loses it one day. Not everybody puts a damn crease in the musical brain of a generation while they’re young and insane and can still survive that shit.

If you see Motley Crue live, be forewarned. Vince Neil's voice is shot.

Other Mötley Crüe bangers: 1: Kickstart my heart 2. Shout at the devil 3. Piece of your action 4. Dr Feelgood 5. Live Wire 6. Too young to fall in love Ok so there’s a lot

November 87", saw that tour with the original opening act about two weeks after they released a little album called "Appetite For Destruction". G&R Opening for Motley Crue.....Ahhhhhh the good old days....

Motley Crue were the epitome of 80's rock lifestyle excess...Kickstart My Heart is a song about the guitarist Nikki Sixx being revived after a heroin overdose...these guys partied HARD...

If you guys want to see a VERY underrated solo, Check out "home sweet home"

Crue in the day... pure gold! Say what you want about the genre as a whole... there really was a lot of great musicianship and showmanship to be had! Cinderella, Ratt, Winger, Dokken, Def Lep.... the list of great acts is large!!

These guys partied harder than any band in rock in the 80's. hung out and partied with Mexican mafia. They may have "looked pretty" but they were hardcore.

I saw this tour with Whitesnake as the opening act in Providence, RI. It was basically everything that an 80's metal show was supposed to be. Big, Insane, sleazy and loud. Awesome.

Being in the Army oversees in late 80's, this kind of music was what kept us going in the barracks!!

“Ten seconds to love”,just a plain dirty song!!

I love how they are mean mugging while bobbing their heads. This is like the perfect song to do that.

Tommy’s drums really drive the sound of this band. They were unique because all 4 members brought a unique sound together. Each band member had something awesome to contribute. This was right around their prime. This and Feelgood. Lots of other good stuff, but this was prime. I saw them live so many times back then. So so glad I did. They were so much better back then. Night and day .

Warrant's Uncle Tom's Cabin is a fantastic southern gothic story about seeing something you shouldn't have.

80s Hair Metal was a product of many different social and musical trends. On the musical side you had the success of 70s AOR, the influence of Van Halen and their guitar-centric style and good-time party mentality, and finally you had Quiet Riot's chart success that showed record companies that "metal" could sell. Socially you had no major wars, a booming economy and the ascendance of cocaine as the drug of choice. Plus you had an influx of digital technology that lead to the distinctive sounds of 80s production. It was the decade of decadence and excess, and the music reflected that.

I have seen Mötley Crüe 5 times. One time no one (including ex-husband) wanted to go with me so I took the money I would have spent on the group and went alone and sat front row. Poison opened and CC made eyes at me and Nikki threw "blood" on me at the close. Still one of the best decisions I've ever made. 🤟

Saw them twice in the 80s and they blew the roof off. So loud and so good.

Born in 1970...I look back and smile, I was a kid in the 70’s, a teen in the 80’s, in my 20’s in the 90’s....what a great time to be alive, anything before 9/11 was great, then the PC ass hats FK’d up all the fun...my motto then was work hard, play hard, and FK hard...lol now I’m 49 with a family, a business, now a respectable person in my area if they could only have seen me in my prime..lol

"Girls, Girls, Girls" went all the way to Number-2 in the charts; on its way to the Number-1 slot, Whitney Houston debuted at the Top Spot in 1987. Girls was recorded under extreme addictions; Nikki Sixx actually died at the conclusion of the Japanese leg of the tour; that event forced the band into sobriety and the result was "Dr. Feelgood" the band's first number-1 album. Sixx, to this day, will tell the world that he is still in recovery. If you have time and want to learn more about Motley Crue in 1987, please read (or listen to audiobook) "The Heroin Diaries" by Nikki Sixx and be prepared...

They are "Glam" Rock Gods. The absolute definition of ROCK-STAR. These guys were bad ass and owned every stage they took. 17:33 spot on dude, 100% accurate.

I saw Motley Crue years ago when they were at their prime. They were just phenomenal. Tommy Lee is one of the best drummers ever, and their stage show is still killer.

The lyric in this song were some Sixx's best. Killer street level shit.

Faster Pussycat opened for Motley Crue in Johnson City Tennessee in 1989. Tommy Lee had a drum kit hanging in the rafters. All he had on was leather undies and suspenders. He climbed into this upside down drum kit and played 2 songs. Most awesome show ever.

You nailed it. The 80's were the generation X-er's, a term used to describe alienated youth.

For all the things Crue is, was and has been - say what you want, Tommy Lee is a badass drummer

Hair/Glam/80's music doesn't get enough credit. Everyone is focused on looks and some of the cheeseiness but there's a lot of good, solid music from that era.

This is the first video that they ever did during a live performance. The trac on tha album did not have the crowd. These guys came up with the flamboyant stage show even in the clubs. Whiskey A Go Go was a big club for these guys.

10 seconds to love is such an underrated tune of theirs!!

Still of the Night is another good one.

You know it's good when George & Ryan go in to Beavis & Butthead mode

Arena concerts then were the best memories I have! So much fun!!!

The way you guys are reacting is exactly how we felt in the 80s. Im so blessed to have been raised and grow up tp this music. Im so grateful to my besties for introducing me to this music in middle school and bringing me to do many metal concerts

I actually saw these guys live back around this time, and saw the infamous drum kit. Tommy Lee and his drumset would lift off the ground, and start spinning around and going upside down and shit while he was playing. It was crazy. Went with a couple of girls in their car without a ticket to the concert, just to hang with them on the trip. They went inside the concert and some guy came up and gave me a ticket while I was sitting on the stairs to the venue in Miami, no lie!

As for the Girls, Girls, Girls album, I'd say it's pretty solid, but not as good as either Shout at the Devil (which is rawer) or Dr. Feelgood (which is more polished).

I’ve seen the Crue many times over the past 30+ years. This video and your reaction sent chills down my arms and up my neck again - the same chills happened at every one of their concerts as you realized for that night, they were a little bit more than human and you got to be there with them.

Loved your all's reaction to this song, the best I've seen! You see why so many people love Motley Crue. These guys bring it and they have written some great hard rock classics.

Live Wire is Crüe's most powerful badass song ever... give it a shot

About Mötley Crüe, just four words: Shout At the Devil. That song is their greatest, heavy and groovy all around.

As a longtime Motley Crue fan (I’ve seriously been obsessed with this band for half my life now) I’m beyond happy that you guys enjoyed this so much

Love this reaction; I envy you guys seeing this for the first time. Crue is one of my favorite bands of all time, and I dig seeing people giving them credit beyond just being another hair metal band, because they put out different styles of rock in their career. Few bands turn me into that teenager playing air guitar again as easily as this band. I got to see them live in 2013, and it was a bitchin show. I've seen a lot of rock and metal concerts, but they just had a certain extra something in their live presence. Nikki spit stage blood on me, Tommy did his rollercoaster bit, and those were some of the best concert moments I've ever had in my life. The pyro, the visuals, every member was having so much fun on stage, it was all great. They're also the loudest band I've seen live and that's really cool. Mick is an incredibly underrated guitarist. Shout is my personal favorite album of theirs because it's got such a strong start, middle, and end. The spoken word beginning just pulls you in and it leads into the riff for the title track, and it just feels like the most badass thing you've ever heard. The lyrics to songs like Knock Em Dead and Bastard have some rad stories behind it which Nikki talks about in the book The Dirt. Nikki doesn't get the credit he deserves for writing and lyricism. Hope you guys dig the show, although I can't speak to how Vince's voice will be.

I remember being at this concert at Market Square Arena in Indianapolis when they filmed this video. They played the song twice and Tommy's solo was a lot longer. This was the last show I saw before going to boot camp.

"Bastard" was a nasty tune off of Shout at the Devil LP.

Watch their movie “The Dirt” on Netflix; shows how they were formed

Love you guys! Great Vlog!!

If you plan on doing some more Crüe, I'd recommend: "Too Young To Fall In Love", "Red Hot", "Merry Go Round", "Live Wire", "On With The Show", Just to name a few. Their early stuff is the best! Those first two albums were untouchable compared to their later records.

Seen them in concert 6 times and witnessed Tommy get stuck upside down 2 of those times. One of those times he had to be removed, he was stuck upside down for so long

Wow, you guys are crazy. Damn. You are in my opinion one of the best reaction channels on KZfaq. You guys have great chemistry.

Ryan, you're a fooking legend. Your enthusiasm is great to see.

I'm going to keep requesting these, I think they're pretty heavy for hair metal (a genre I'm not a fan of) : Whitesnake, Still of the Night Dokken, It's not Love Tesla, Modern Day Cowboy Motley Crue, Looks That Kill

"Is 80's hair metal a response to the Vietnam war & the general bad feelings of the 70's?" Poison: "Ain't looking for nothing but a good time."

@lostinvegas I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE watching you guys literally get turned completely up and get louder and faster talking the harder the music gets. To watch you discovering all my old favorites I've loved for years is like watching your child discovering puppies or ice cream for the first time....you get that thrill and joy all over and anew and it's just a joyous blast of fun to share the moments with you. From Kenny Rogers to my all time favorites, Bon Jovi, to Chris Stapleton and the Crue here.....you guys are just a pleasure to watch. And yes baby, I've seen several Crue shows live and don't you dare miss that opportunity this year. It is an experience you must have before dying one day. Would LOVE to see reactions from your first time at these shows LIVE! The upside down kit in this video is nothing compared to Tommy's roller coaster kit he just had on their farewll tour. Y'all keep up the fun and great job! Loving it, ya'll, the laughs, music and memories! "Throwing up the horns" (look it up! 😂) to you both, great job!! 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟

I was in my early 20's when this came out,I can tell you the 70's and 80's growing were just freaking awesome and fun.Great band and One of my favorite songs of there's.

Watch the film called "The Dirt" based on the book by the band. Then you will know how WILD they really were!

Vince Neil is where Aerosmith came up with "Dude Looks Like a Lady". They walked in on a set and saw him from behind.

I saw these guys live in the 80s. It was crazy AF , lots of energy. Great show.

I've been so lucky to not only see them live 4x but worked for them 2x and this was the first tour I got to work for them on a local level as a runner. Got to hang out with them, watch how they behaved backstage and what you see is what you get. Also, many people who are blown away by the spinning drum cage today, think of how we felt back in the 80's when this was revolutionary stuff.

You want raw, wild hair metal? W.A.S.P - I Wanna Be Somebody. You WILL enjoy that song.

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve seen Motley Crüe. Great live show!

Motley Crue gig was one of the best experience I’ve had live. You definitely need to go and see them live if they decide to come back and play more shows.

These guys make me feel very active and excited!!! They are awesome!!

You need to read “The Heroin Diaries” by Nikki. He actually wrote the entire Girls album and was so high all the time he doesn’t actually remember doing it

Guys, just be warned, Crue live is now a very different experience to their 80’s heyday!

I saw them live in about '94? Hard to remember, but they were filming a video that night. The crowd was about like that, and my friend and I were right in the middle of it. It's a wonder we survived it. Memories are fuzzy that night, but I remember hearing this song!

yea bra i seen motley 6 times but that 30 years ago and they do kick ass live enjoy love yall keep up the great work love yalls show!

Mick's experience let the band develop behind his amazing riffs.

Crue was the epitome of the 80's "hair metal" era. One of the first & rawest @ the beginning they lived the very life you think they did. Alwayz amazing showmen they were able to plug into tht vibe we loved as punk-ass teenagers. Simple yet driving & female fan friendly, they shaped the genre & opened the flood gates to hundreds of others on the same fix. Born between punk rock & thrash, it was a raunchy dirty good fkn time. A lot of great music came out of tht era as well as lot of silly shit.. but tht was My era & thnk god therell nvr be another like it! We ruled!

On my playlist dudes and fav motley track love watching you guys discover metal and rock great to watch

It was amazing to see live. My daughter always gets jealous when we watch stuff like this and I tell her I saw this band or that band live. Seeing Tommy spin around and play was amazing live.

Dancing on Glass, Livewire , Home Sweet Home and Too Young to Fall in Love were my jams

The reason why many hair metal bands started in LA was because they were discovered in Hollywood, majority in clubs on the Sunset Strip.

2:30 ish... yes. The 80’s was the decade of decadence. The 60’s and 70’s were over. It was time to party.

I was fortunate enough to be at this concert. They had to play this song twice to get the video right. Awesome!

Great one yall ! Skid Row should be on this marathon - Youth Gone Wild is a great one

"Just because we are wearing lipstick doesn't mean we can't kick your ass." -Tommy Lee

IDK about anyone else but I find myself smiling when y'all review stuff you've never heard before. Does my heart good to know folks are still in love with the Hard Rockin' 80's&90's 🤘 rock on! P.S. Ratt was a band like no other too, one of the best shows I've ever seen 💯 You're in love, Lay it down, Round and round Gawd sooo many good ones👍 Go, go and search the archives my young music loving friends, find your wildsides! 🤘

Ty guys..... you make revisiting songs i grew up on so enjoyable.....And like you two... I love music across all Genres.....

yall should watch the dirt on netflix. idk if it's entirely accurate but it's rly entertaining to see how this band came to be.

"It's not supposed to be beautiful" well said man! Motley Crue were always a big step up on the integrity level vs alot of other glam copycat bands.

The last time i saw motley crue was in 2010 and tommy lee was still doing the drum stunts, the machine he was on during that set was similar to one of those pirate ship roller coasters.

My first concert was on this tour. Opening act was Gun n’ Roses on their first US tour.

I saw this tour at age 16 and I was hooked! This is my favorite Crüe song to this day. I will go see the reunion tour, unfortunately Vince has not been the greatest singer/performer in years. Hopefully, he will have gotten some of his mojo back for this tour. No matter what, I will forever be a fan. Great reaction guys.

In the book, “heroin diaries” (which I highly recommend) Nikkis Sixx was sleeping with some catholic school girl and asked her for the words to the Lord’s Prayer... that’s where he got the lyrics from.

The video was shot in Indianapolis. They actually played the song twice in a row to get all of the footage. I know because I was there! It's the studio cut with the crowd noise added in.

I saw The Crue twice in the 80s. Saw Tommy Lee playing drums over my head.... It was the best time to be a teenager. I have tickets for the tour this month. Poison, Def Leppard and Motley Crue. My old ass is excited af!! 😎😎❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥
