You can stop correcting me on the Dancing on Glass singer. I got it the first time. Pardon me for thinking that that was Vince reaching his full potential.

On Nikki Sixx , he is always credited as the primary song writer .. but i don't believe this guy was the song writer musically . He wrote most all the lyrics , no question . But somehow was able to take credit for the music as well . As an example shows him alone credited for Louder than Hell . That intro riff is in the style of Ritchie Blackmore , Deep Purple just happened to be one of Mick's biggest influences . Listen to the very end of his solo from Take me to the Top , it's from the solo in Highway Star . And recently Mick was asked what "riff" are you most proud of ? He said Louder than Hell . So right there it proves what i've always suspected . Don Dokken has even come forward and said he's been buddies with Mick since Vendetta , and when Motley Crue began . And most of this stuff came from Mick . It all makes sense as Sixx could barley play when they formed , And didn't have the rhythm sense to come up with riffs like Live wire , Too Young to Fall in Love etc . Imo musically Mick and Tommy made this band .

Too Young to fall in love is probably the greatest Mick Mars solo of all time. It’s different from all the rest. Melts my face every time.

Mick Mars was the best thing about Motley. The songs and the image are great but Mick brought the credibility

Dancing On Glass…that’s a woman singing on towards the end FYI. Her name is Phyllis St. James.

No One sounds like Mick Most underrated guitarists ever

dont judge vince for his preformances! ive never seen a man preform live while pregnant. he's so brave

what bothers me the most about this and Nikki once being a hero of mine is the fact that Nikki got a full on portrait tattoo of Mick on his thigh and when he showed Mick the tattoo he told Mick you are my hero and it got all mushy. like what happened Nikki? why did you turn on him. Tommy, Nikki and Vince were trying to replace him years ago. I grew up in the 80's. seen Crue 7 times. Mick was always on point.

Motley Crue is personal friends of mine. MC is who everyone wants to be. They made more money than most of those bands mentioned and are still going strong. They've done it all and have become one of the greatest bands of all time. Let haters hate.. Tell them @Motley Crue..

🤔 Some Conservative Christians like some Mötley Crüe music 🎶 too!‼️Remember when Michael Jordan said, "Republicans buy sneakers, too" ?⁉️ Brilliant statement, and important to remember in life, and most certainly in business, too!‼️ Interesting, and thought provoking video. P.S. Tommy Lee is so much more than some people think he is. Extremely talented, can play multiple instruments 🎹 🎸 🥁( many more than drums only ), plus he can sing 🎤, has great personality and stage presence, can be hilariously funny, can act well, and what hardly anyone talks about is how big is heart is ( he’s a nice guy ), and probably very misunderstood by many, but that’s okay, as it keeps things mysterious. As far as age goes, there’s no reason for any of them to go sit in a corner and slobber or something. Ageism is ridiculous!‼️

I love how this opens up with Steve lol

That's not vince at the end if Dancin on glass. It's the bac up singer that has the Lyric "Sweet Chiva, you were my Jesus" earlier in the song. Vince voice was high, but not that high lol

It is true what he said about getting clean being like a high in itself. When you've gone so long without having sobriety, sobriety does become a new drug. Also I just noticed that 6AM looks like a group of final fantasy characters. 😂

Gotta agree! Mick and Tommy were the real musicians and real motors of the band!

Can't believe I just listened to almost 50 minutes of some dude talking about a band I'm not even remotely interested in. Maybe it's because I like learning new stuff. Or maybe it's because I've watched all his other vids and I really dig the writing, presentation, editing, everything. Brilliant! Instant subscriber.

The more a person, or band brags about themselves, the less likely any of it is true. Now we find out Sixx didn't play on albums, all of them but mars seem ok with faking it live, and the interviews they used to do in hit parader were mega cringe at the time. Add to that the "contract" for the final tour that wasn't final, and their current dumb dramas, the band has always been a joke to me, and the ship sailed long ago on "quitting while they are ahead".

I’m am a die hard Crue fan and this is one of the best KZfaq videos I’ve ever watched.. The good, the bad and ugly side of rock and Motley Crue. At this point of their career, I don’t care if they can hit the notes. I just want to see them on stage which brings me back to a time when music was fun and to leave all the troubles behind. Long Live Motley Crue !!

That's not Vince singing at the end of Dancing on glass! Do some homework.....

I do not usually feel comfortable hearing my voice in other peoples videos, but this came out unbelievably smooth on my and ADB's end on that section! All that aside, this definitely was a thrill to watch the premier of. Very surprised a WWW episode on Motley Crue came into existence but not WASP.

Vince is the walrus koo koo kachoob

Great video my guy can tell your a fan of good music and you know your shit look forward to more videos

you have no idea. they are old, and so are their hard core fans.

Motley Crue were a Good band. True NOT the Best at any instrument But did Record many Good Rocking Songs. Fan since 1986

I read that the Tommy Lee shot of the drums starting without him (in Tommy’s defense) was his in-ear monitor Que for the next song getting played thru the PA on accident. Tommy is playing. That drum count off is Tommy’s notice that the next song is starting and this is what it is.

The Dire Straits lyrics in that song are taken from the overheard conversation of a delivery guy who was bitter about doing hard labor while delivering appliances to a rich rock star’s house… it was aimed at Dire Straits and/or anyone rich from making popular music.

Van Halen are without question the pioneers of Glam Metal, if that is how we want to label it. Absolutely loved Crew in the early days, they wrote many catchy tunes. R.I.P. King Edward.

Great video dude keep up the good work.

They were my favorite band when I was a child, and now they are my favorite rock and roll clowns. I now kinda think of them as the "stagetory rape anthem" band. Examples: All in the Name of... "she's only 15, she's the reason, the reason I can't sleep. You say illegal, I say, legal's never been my scene." Slice of your Pie - "so young, ever get caught, they'll arrest me." Dragstrip Superstar - "Jailbait playmate....underage penetrate." She Needs Rock and Roll - "she's an underage angel with a dented halo." (This one is admittedly less overt) I might be able to forgive the cheeky misogyny of glam as just fun, but this theme of Nikki Sixx hooking up with children in his music is perhaps worthy of deeper consideration? I still love so much of their music and could nerd out deep into their catalog, I know more about this band than I'd care to admit, but it is kind of weird right? I don't remember too many lines from Poison, Warrant, GnR, or even Sir Mix-A-Lot about how the booty they were chasing was a felony. Maybe that's part of Mötley's edge. I dunno. Also, Vince could NEVER sing live. A cousin told me, in 1990, after seeing them on the Feelgood tour, "it's kinda weird how Vince sings. He sings, like, every other word. It's hard to explain. But it was awesome. CRÜÜÜÜÜE!!!!!"

DUUUUUUDE! Slice of your pie is my favorite, too! That riff is amazing!

Motley Crue was only a Glam/Hair band for one album. And that album had some of their best songs on it. Go listen to Save our Souls. Really listen to the lyrics. Then try again.

I listen to this band all the time and when Vince rolls so do they, converse is true. Snarly and sweet gets the meat. Drop D tuning - awesome, cowbell- awesome and Tommy Lee smacking the splash at novel times is just so tasty. i Hehehe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

T Rex was before the Dolls. The hoople was kinda glam. But T Rex was the first

No one ever mentions Faster Pussycat even though they were, imo, one of the best bands from that era. Their debut album, there's not one bad tune on it!

It was quite the ball being this Melissa F chick. Was I that loud? lol It was a pleasure :) Up until this video, I didn't pay that much mind to the lyrics of Dire Strait's "I Want My MTV". Now having read one of the lines (specifically that Motley Crue jab) in that video, I can honestly that I was quite shocked that it flew over my head all these years. Not gonna lie, I busted up laughing at that one! That felt so wrong haha

That isn't Vince at the wnd of Dancing on Glass. I thought it was too for a long time but is actually a woman named Phyllis St James.

Mick was the music writer,and Nikki learned to write , but Mick reallly was behind the name,the dark image and he had his brother in law throwing tons of money which was probably a big reason why they were selling out Santa Monica Civic after only selling out clubs . And I was right there when Motley started started,having met Nikki while he was in the band London, which I was in for about 3 days because it wasn't what I was looking for. Anyway, you get a few things wrong,but then again you discovered crue while playing that stupid computer game that has nothing to do with actually playing guitar,but your a kid and at least you like Motley Crue, just remember, it's all Mick, don't put too much into that who’wrote what,even if it says it on the album!

Finally some girls girls girls love it’s my favorite crüe album

That isn’t Vince singing the line you played from dancing on glass. Lol that’s a female back up singer…. Obviously

Yeah Tommy Lee got in trouble a few times doing some of the things he did like moon in the crowd in Oklahoma and in Russia.

There 2011 tour was sick, saw the Crüe with Brett Michaels band and The Angels at Rod laver Arena in Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺 was a tight gig.

Yes, the dolls and Van Halen and then Mötley Crüe and Twisted Sister and poison and all the rest

I NEVER would've made that connection between Looks That Kill and the music from Zelda 2!! You have great ears!

You're not wrong. Motley does get a free pass from Metal fans (or used to), because that's how a lot of use metal fans in our 50's got introduced to metal. 1983 was an exciting year for hard rock and metal. It was Ozzy, Judas Priest, Maiden, Quiet Riot and Motley Crue. Unfortunately they refer to "Shout at the devil" as "accidentally" stumbling on to Heavy Metal🙄. But at the time, that was the number one record you had in your metal collection that everyone was talking about. It was all over by Theater of Pain.

Speaking of Winger, I remember that fat kid Stewart in Beavis and Butthead wore that Winger t-shirt lol. That definitely didn't help the band.

I'm pretty sure Mark Knopfler said that he wrote the earring in the makeup line while watching A Flock of Seagulls video

"Van Halen is my favorite glam band" 😂 Right... And Barry Manilow is my favorite blues man 🤣

Tipper Gore is a lefty, not a right wing Christian conservative. Both sides of the aisle were representing the pmrc, just saying

I grew up thinking motley cruel was the greatest band ever. Now I despise everything about them.Nikki SixX hasn't ever had an original idea in his life.He even stole his name.

I was never a fan of Ashlee Simpson. But it's starting to irritate me how much she gets made fun of for that. I laughed at her, too, but it was unfair. Just about every TV show forces performers to mime for TV performances. It's more for the audience at home than in the studio. The bands also perform more than one song, but only one gets aired. Only the most famous and well-known acts can push their way around the lyp-syncing stuff. It's a production thing that the bands usually get no say over. So it wasn't really her fault.

I've seen them from the eighties till the real farewell tour in 2014 . I refused to go to that stadium tour because it was a rip off & they already bowed out. Imho I think they should have stuck to that no more touring cessation. But for real they always said that it would be the 4 of them till the end. What thev'e done to poor Mick is just unforgivable. John 5 is a great guitarist. But Mick should be allowed to record any new material like he intended. And use John 5 for touring. Vince should do his vocal excercises & take it easy w the liquor. I love the Crüe but they should just stop it's not fair to the fans.

Motley crue is my fav band they are the reason glam metal is my fav music of all time

They were the very best of the he '80's. I saw the carnival of sins tour ('05) in Utah and bought the DVD. I witnessed Tommy and Nikki both using backing tracks that night. I could forgive Vince if he did, he sucked that bad. They should have retired with some dignity. Instead they chose to suck the integrity of their art bone dry, leaving their fans ashamed of ourselves for supporting them. I view them more of a stand up comedy show of themselves more than a band with any sense of rock & roll. I can forgive them as they are only mortal men and nonetheless accomplished more than myself. As a fan I would support them more if they stayed in the studio and kept their promise to retire somewhat true. To do Nick the way they did proves they don't care about anything else than money.

Quite possibly you're Best video for me

I bought the Dr feel Good album the day it came out The day it hit the shelves. But before them I had already heard permanent vacation that's what got me on the roll of rock. And whose parents didn't have quiet riot. A lot of people give the credit to the hair band The quiet riot. But it was awesome to see Steve Vai in concert playing for white snake. I love seeing the band warrant during Oklahoma City. When I was at that concert that was the the very first time they ever played Uncle Tom's they even professed it. Saw motley Crue in concert there in Oklahoma City two times that year. One at the myriad convention and one at the fairgrounds with Lita Ford opening up.

Yep he was playing with the BC Rich guitar. A lot of people during that time were playing with the BC Rich.

mick mars was that band period!!!!

Dude... I'm 57, and I used to eat sh*t,sleep heavy metal... you're still young yet,and you'll learn

"Hair bands" and "glam" were not terms to describe bands in the 80's. Glam was 70's bands like New York Dolls, T Rex, Slade etc. These labels were not applied to this music until sometime in the early 2000s. Back then everything was just Metal.

80s bands were not referred to as "glam"!!!!! That label came 2 decades later!! Glam bands were 70s bands.

Generation Swine is amazing 10/10

Is water wet?

Everything is wrong with motley cure. Literally EVERYTHING!!!!!

Poison are the definitive hair metal band. Motley Crue have three great albums and a conglomeration of songs that would make a fourth great album. Actually let's take Dr feelgood and make it an EP... Yes they were huge in their day you can't take it away from them. What's their staying power? When the dirt came out everybody loved it. People like to look back on it now and enjoy in retrospect. That breathes life into that band that was totally dead. I can't start my heart isn't just about Nikki it's about Motley Crue. They were totally dead.

Like ya channel dude , looks like you do your homework , new sub here dude

Oh btw Tommy Lee sells his own line of cowbells. I think they are red white and blue. They high quality and not fir the cheapskate. Really pro job on the video.

Brilliant work!

RATT are way heavier and better than motley crue.

Mad respect to the Crue for being the only band in the history of earth to be well beyond their 40's NOT to sellout by mellowing out! Yes! Even RnR legends Elvis, The Beatles, The Who, Ledzepplin, even Def Leppard, and especially Bon Jovi to name a few ALL sold-out either jump from Rock to Country or go full blown cheesed out Pop Rock. Motley fkn Crue now in their 50s & 60s have ALWAYS evolved their sound through the years and are literally writing their BEST music with a heavier edge...( hence ALL BAD THINGS, THE DIRT, DOGS OF WAR) which I, personally, have been waiting to hear from them since Sht At The Dvl... Yo Motley... GIVE US MORE NEW MUSIC w/ that middle finger attitude...🖕😛🖕 pa Sorry but Motley Crue is so not a hair metal band. Sure...they were there But Motley Crue 1994 w Corabi totally separated Motley from the rest of those bands. Sorry... is what it is. and btw.... Dogs Of War huts friggin hard

something just hit me watching you tune the guitar , Ive loved The Crue since shout at the Devil and picked around on the guitar for last 30 years and dont know one Crue Riff ! how the hell did that happen??? huh ??

Van Halen was never glam in anyway, shape or form nor were they ever considered metal.

The makeup and the earring is a reference to George Michael and wham

Why don't you do a video focusing on Brutal Death Metal Vocalists, and whether or not they are legitimately creating music

I am old. Caught London live during this era. Love Hurts - Nazareth On the subject of Bob Rock, check out The Cult - The Cult. A+ Bought too fast upon Elektra release, my California cousins alerted me. Nor glam they are.

So is Razorfist aware that you are stealing his look? As well as if someone were searching for him and weren't sure of his name,Ranter in shades may be what they search. And they get...you.

Mötley Crüe’s song louder than hell, on Theatre of pain, is another really kick ass tune

Simple they only care about the money 😊

Do share

Why no mention of early Alice Cooper and Hanoi Rocks

I have to say that I am so very impressed with your knowledge and loving the genre. Nikki’s book Heroin dairies is an amazing book. Tommy Lee has always been my least favorite person from the band’s. He has a sister who is an awesome drummer and a kick ass woman.She was married to James Kottak the drummer of Scorpions. RIP he died Jan 2024. Tommy hasn’t been in contact with her or her family for many years. You can see her on a show called Ex wives of rock. Tommy was engaged to Bobbie Brown( cherry pie and Jani lanes ex wife.) Bobbie introduced him to Pam Anderson and after he broke up with her he married Pam in 4 day’s. He is also been arrested for Abuse of Pam and his son by her. I am sorry to people who don’t agree but it is known as hair metal. Look it up on here also glam. I understand about the 70s but it seems it just stuck with this genre and 80s bands. Mick is definitely one of the most underrated guitars of all time.

They've chosen money above all else. Nikki said years ago they wouldn't go out as a pathetic sideshow band. I think they have achieved that.

The self-titled album is the best one they ever did. Proper vocals, not Vince's annoying whine and sick riffs from Mick!

Everything..

The death of Razzle effected Vince so deeply that soon after he got out of jail, he started to drink and drive again and has continued to do so till this day C'mon dude! Don't give us that "kids today are so sensitive" crap about this particular incident Any normal person would go to prison for years for the same thing; not to mention that Razzle was not the only victim - there were two other people involved in the accident who were left paralysed for life but nobody ever mentions them cause they were poor, ordinary people Vince should've been in prison for years And no, that accident was clearly not a wake-up call for him nor was the death of his daughter - like I said he continues to drink and drive till this very day I feel no sympathy for him whatsoever and the people saying he should be jail and that he got off easy are 100% correct

Tom Werman has a new book, “Turn It Up!”. It is pretty good. Short read, but great stories in it.

9:29 that’s not Vince😂 Read the album sleeve and you’ll see the woman’s name who sang “sweet chiva you were my Jesus” I’m too lazy to grab mine and put her name here. Sorry.😂

Do a video or overview of the Japanese band 'Seikima II.' There are certain parallels in their sound with Motley Crüe.

The musician referred to in Money For Nothing is Prince.

Dolly Parton was recently inducted into the rock n roll hall of fame..

I hate that Skid Row got dragged down with the rest of the 80s stuff. Always thought they were much closer to Guns N Roses than Poison (CC can shred but just no). Their self titled had some great songs and Slave to the Grind, the title track especially, was taking the "make it heavier" route of Pantera as opposed to the Metallica route of "let's name the band after a genre and stop playing that style". Bach is an asshole for sure but his vocals during that period were amazing and I feel like he could have given us an interesting take on the lower, growling vocal style that was really taking off at the time. Plus he's one of the few people who could hit those stupid high notes and not sound ridiculous. As great as Halford is I always thought his upper range just sounded silly. The one time Tom from Slayer did it I thought it sounded stupid. Not even the great Phil Anselmo could do it and I think he was aware of it. Cemetery Gates is awesome but the high pitched wails at the end detract from the song. Cowboys was the last album they had him sing like that. Sebastian always sounded great though no matter how high he got.

Not done with the video but I fucking cackled at the ephemeral rift mention

the Stevie T intro 😂

Mmoney For Nothing was about George Michael.

Aaaand furthermore. "One-armed drummer Rick Allen"?!? That one -armed drummer put Def Leppard into the stratosphere. "Hysteria" would have not been as successful if Rick quit the band.

Don't forget to buy your motley crue shirt help Vince get out of jail...Dead milk men were such a badass band

The Dire Straits jab was pointed at Boy George , not Motley .

Phyllis St. James is the good singer on Dancing on Glass. Same lady on Pink Floyd albums.

That's shitty of you to not even mention Michael Anthony's name as if his contribution to Van Halen was non-existent. He had the best harmonic voice plus hello??? Running With the Devil?

Hey man! I've been watching a bunch of your videos, and I'm curious. After seeing your video on Cancel Culture, and What's Wrong with Dragonforce, would you consider doing a video on Iced Earth? The rhythm guitarist/founding member, Jon Schaffer, was involved in the insurrection at the US Capital building in 2021. I still sometimes listen to Iced Earth's music from way back, but his actions have left a bad taste in my mouth. I was just wondering what your opinions about all that would be. I mean, his career is over after all that. But, the band Iced Earth has an interesting history (more lineup changes than even Megadeth), so I was just curious as to your opinion. I'm probably the only person asking for this kinda video. But still, it could be interesting.

They suck and are overrated

Someone on bass lol..bass players always get dumped on lol
