Mötley Crüe, aka the Music equivalent of an Early Access Nickleback
Motley Crue is one of my favorite hair bands, but I put Dokken ahead of them because George Lynch is one hell of a guitar god! But here's my ranking of Motley Crue albums 1. Too Fast For Love 2. Shout At the Devil 3. Girls Girls Girls 4. Dr. Feelgood 5. Theater of Pain 6. Motley Crue 7. Saints of Los Angeles 8. New Tattoo 9. Generation Swine

Dude wtf are you talking about! Self titled Motley Crue kicks ass! Dr. Feelgood is a great album!
The 1994 Corabi is by far Motley's best musical effort. Corabi made Motley a more powerful machine

The self-titled album was released on my birthday ☹ Thankfully, I wasn't born in 1994.

I am a huge Cruehead. I appreciate your review though I do completely disagree, of course with most of it. I don’t really understand why you would spend time reviewing a band you clearly don’t like that much but fair enough.
Lol great video! It's fun to watch you tear apart the discography of a band I outgrew.
I love the self titled album - it's been rated very highly on a lot of other Motley review sites. It's subjective though, I appreciate.
I’m a big fan of Too Fast For Love and Shout at the Devil. Love the punky speed and dirt of Fast, and Shout is just cool and I’ll always love it. PS- self titled has some good songs, particularly Hooligan’s Holiday. I like John Corabi’s voice and I believe given more time to grow and better circumstances that version of Crue could have been good.
I was jamming new Tatoo at work today criminally underrated motley album
Been forever since I listened to most of these albums but 1 Too Fast For Love (my favorite always by far) 2 Shout at the Devil 3 Girls Girls Girls *6 piles of dirt* 4 dr feelgood 5 saints of LA 6 Motley Crue 7 theatre of pain 8 generation swine 9 new tattoo

It's not for posers because it's pop rock. It has little to do with metal. Grunge has way more metal in it than glam metal.
I really respect your take on Dr. Feelgood. I’m very much a fan of their late 80s stuff (GGG, Feelgood, etc) but at the same time, I’ve always had a pretty strong love-hate relationship with Dr. Feelgood. “Gross“ is exactly the right word and I’m really glad you said that, because my biggest problem with the album is that it is just too goddamn horny. Rock songs about sex are nothing new, but oh my God I cannot listen to Vince Neil talk about himself like that for an entire album. The production, despite being heralded as their best, does also bother me. The guitar tones are at once jaw droppingly incredible and kind of shrill. The drums are so heavily processed, and the sample replacement is so prevalent that it hardly feels like a single drum set, just percussive noises in space. I think it’s quite telling that the 5.1 surround sound remixes on their DVD sound a lot better, with the doublings and reverb dramatically reduced, and the production just overall more simple. As a huge fan of Mick Mars, I do have to commend the album for its musicality. Mick hit his peak on that album, and I just wish it was underscoring better lyrical material. That’s one of the main reasons that Girls Girls Girls is actually my favorite Crue album, and I’m really happy you mentioned Dancing On Glass because that is possibly my favorite off it. Obviously, in the grand scheme of things, these guys are nothing resembling poetic, but there’s just something about the writing on that album. Personally, I think my ideal album from them would be the writing from Girls Girls Girls, The energy and variety of Too Fast For Love, and the musicianship of Dr. Feelgood. With all that being said, I highly recommend checking out Angela from their 1990 compilation album. Possibly their most underrated song, and honestly, attempting to take all aspects into consideration objectively, possibly their single best song. It hits nearly every point I just listed, in my opinion. Regardless, great review!
I'm trying to decide how acceptable it is to just take your opinions on Motley Crue and absorb them as my own so that I don't need to listen to every Motley Crue album.
You’re way off base! Dr. Feelgood was amazing! That album went number 1 for them! The self titled album was phenomenal! John Corabi is a fantastic singer and still is! Every track in that album is a masterpiece! My fav song is misunderstood! This is a very under rated album that does not get enough credit all because Vince Neil isn’t on it! Saints of Los Angeles is them going back to their roots and focusing on rock n roll! Is it a perfect album, no but it has some good songs on it! The only album I didn’t like are Theater of Pain! Only 2 good songs!! Generation Swine and New Tattoo!! Dr.Feelgood is arguably their best album!

I don't know why you guys shit on theater of pain. Though I agree it's not quit as good as shout at the devil, it's very close. Aside from smoking in the boys room, all the rest of the songs are good. Louder than hell, save our souls, and fight for your rights are 3 of the best songs they've ever done.
Shout at the Devil hits pretty hard and was absolutely massive among hard rocking teens of the 80's. Its very consistent. Theater of Pain was a little disappointing after counting the minutes for the Shout follow up. There are some great lyrics on Girls and a few really fun songs, overall I would put it next to Feel Good. The John Corabi album has some their best stuff but only about half the album. Its interesting hearing about Motley from someone who didn't live it in real time. I thought Generation Swine was absolutely worthless!
What do you guys think of these 2022 remasters? Do they sound better?
Until about a year ago I literally didn’t know that Mötley Crüe had released albums between “Dr. Feelgood” and “Saints of Los Angeles” lol! I dig “Too Fast For Love”, “Shout at the Devil” and “Girls, Girls, Girls” from start to finish, but only the hits on those other two from that era. Tbh, I normally hate glam metal...

@Jayagebee to me that's a bit more of shock and Roll but still similar enough so I don't really disagree. Great band, though.
I'm not a fan of the band, but I like the first two albums -- I think everyone pretty much does, and yes, I never thought of Too Fast for Lovea s "the underdog" or anything. I've never listened to a full album beyond the first two, but heard plenty of the singles and all that -- including that lead single from Generation Swine, which came out when i was 16 or 17. You know, the self-titled album seems to ahve a pretty vocal contingent of fans out there. They almost convinced me taht this was something really different and cool and "more serious" and I was thinking of checking it out based on that supposed "difference". I still might, but I'm not in a rush...and you certainly don't make it sound very appealing here with talk of buttrock and whatnot. haha

Motley Crue one of my favorite hardcore hair metal bands ! My all time favorite albums are Shout at The Devil & Dr Feelgood !
Personally I prefer W.a.s.p, but I only listen to their early stuff.
Entertaining and also agree with a lot of this!
Man I couldn't agree more. Their first two albums kick ass (too fast for love being my favorite) and I wish they continued with that heavy/punky raw sound they had. Girls is Decent but the rest with the exception of a few are mediocre at best in my opinion with a few awesome tracks here and there. Saints of Los Angeles is the definition of a band going through a midlife crisis and I definitely agree with you on their self titled, that album can suck my white ass lol

TIL Motley Crue has a lot of albums, and I think this is the most ive enjoyed anything related to Motley Crue, so. Lol.
Lol the Motley Crue episode of Behind the Music and That Metal Show hosted by Eddie Trunk made this band seem like absolute music legends with fantastic albums, but I guess that's not really the case. They have a couple legendary songs from the 80s and only two truly great albums. (And yes, that contract they signed for them to break up and never reunite in 2014/2015 was super dumb! Kinda cringeworthy too!)
Those first two still knock me on my ass when I listen to them. I’d say Girls Girls Girls is the only other album that comes close to being as good and even then it still has problems like an absolutely unnecessary live cover of Jailhouse Rock
Dr feelgood is my favorite but I’m a basic listener but I get what u say😂😂
Kickstart my fart
I'm a new fan of Motley Crue, and I will go ahead and share my rankings with you. Just note, my opinions are WAY different than yours, so I hope you're ready: #9: Generation Swine- 1997 (Easily Motley Crue's worst album. This is one of the worst albums I've ever heard in my life. Aside from Let Us Prey and Afraid, this album completely sucks!!) #8: Motley Crue- 1994 (I don't hate this album at all, I just think it's kinda mediocre. John Corabi is a fine singer, and I like songs like Poison Apples, Smoke the Sky, Hooligans Holiday, Misunderstood, Driftaway, and Til Death Do Us Part. Overall, a pretty decent album if you ask me). #7: Saints of Los Angeles- 2008 (Copy and paste literally everything I said about the self titled album, but because Vince Neil is back on vocals, this ranks higher. I love songs like the title track, MF of the Year, Just Another Psycho, White Trash Circus, and Face Down in the Dirt. Another decent album, but the fact that Vince is back on vocals is the reason why I like this album more than the self titled). #6: New Tattoo- 2000 (From here on out, these albums are really good. This record makes a valiant effort to bring back their iconic 80s sound, and I think they did a good job. My favorite tracks are Hell on High Heels, Punched in the Teeth by Love, the title track, and Dragstrip Superstar). #5: Too Fast for Love- 1981 (My least favorite album from their 80s period, but I still really love this album. I love the raw and rebellious tone of this record, and I love songs like Take Me to the Top, Piece of Your Action, Live Wire, and especially the title track. Killer debut album in my opinion). #4: Theater of Pain- 1985 (Another killer album in my opinion. I like the balance between their rebellious side and their more mainstream side. I love songs like Home Sweet Home, Smokin in the Boys Room, City Boy Blues, Louder Than Hell, and Fight for Your Rights). #3: Dr. Feelgood- 1989 (I'm afraid that I REALLY disagree with your take on this album. This is where Motley Crue peaked in my opinion. So many great performances and killer tracks. The title track, Kickstart My Heart, Same Ol' Situation, Don't Go Away Mad, Slice of Your Pie, and Without You are all my favorites from this album. Slice of Your Pie in particular has my favorite Mick Mars guitar solo, and one of the best guitar solos I have ever heard. I respect your opinion as always, but I don't think Dr. Feelgood is an overrated album at all). #2: Girls Girls Girls- 1987 (What a freaking album!! This is a flawless album to me. Wild Side, the title track, Dancing on Glass, Five Years Dead, Sumthin for Nuthin, and especially You're All I Need, which is a top 5 Motley Crue song for me. What a masterpiece!!) #1: Shout At the Devil- 1983 (Another flawless album. I only put this one higher due to my familarity with it and the completely unnecessary live cut of Jailhouse Rock on the Girls Girls Girls album. Needless to say, Shout at the Devil rules!! I would list my favorite tracks, but every song is top notch. The title track in particular is my favorite Motley Crue song. Another masterpiece!!). Hope you like my rankings!! Sorry for the late reveal lol

It's weird to see you ranked their self titled 1994 album lower while generation swine excited because I thought generation swine was bad and If I'm not mistaken Robert have you heard people said is their best album because I watched some other motley crue ranking videos that they had their self titled higher and there were two videos that it on number 1 wish I think it's a mediocre album to me if I had to pick something that is some 80s glam metal band that went grunge during the 90s I would rather chose Dokken's Shadow life album from 1997 even though it's my least favorite dokken album but in my opinion I don't find this album is bad to me even though there were some filler songs in it.
I don't care about glam at all. I bought Generation Swine back in a day with no expectations and i liked it. That's the only album i've heard so far. Rat like me 😅
11:44 well, you're wrong, but it's ok
You are 100% wrong about “Mötley Crüe” comparing it to Godsmack? Trapt? Fuck 🤦🏾♂️
I usually agree w you, Not here. Motley Crue 94 is their best album IMO. Mick Mars never sounded better and band is much better w Corabi.
Idk. I thought the 94 album was better than anything else they’ve done
Sorry man but imo,WILD SIDE is an absolute beast of a Crue track,go back and listen to the lyrics of that song,some of NIKKI'S absolute filthiest lyrics and along with Your all I need,its the best most well written track on that record,very surprised to hear u say that, however I do agree with that record and Theater BOTH being just ok albums!!
I'm so glad I'm not the only one that hates Dr. Feel-good.
You are so wrong! The self titled album is fucking amazing! And also you are wrong about Dr.Feelgood! Do you have an ear infection???
The first two albums are fantastic, then we have a serious nose dive into mediocrity and then total horse manure. I agree with you on Dr. Feelgood. Terrible. 1. Shout at the Devil 2.

My favorite Motley Crue albums 1. Too Fat For Love 2. Shout At the Devil 3. New Tatoo 4. Theater of Pain 5. Dr Feelgood 6. Saints of Los Angeles 7. Generation Swine 8. Motley Crue ( if you like this, stop talking shit about Nickleback. Got to credit this though as it might have been the first official Post Grunge album) 9. Girls, Girls, Girls ( even though I really like Wildside , a Jailhouse Rock cover and another track featuring Honky tonk piano is bad enough to destroy what few decent songs are included)
Dude you are so wrong about the corabi album. You sound so butt hurt for some reason. That album smoked anything and everything that was released at that time. I can’t stand grunge at all. I saw that tour and there was only about 7-8 thousand people there but they fuckin brought it. Sounded amazing.Motley has always been that band that keeps changing. I’ve been a fan since the beginning. They’re not like AC/DC and just keep doing the same thing. They don’t give a fuck and they take chances. I’ll admit I don’t like theater of pain that much and only like a few tunes of generation swine but good for them for having the balls to try something different. Any who I’m a forever fan and it’s only rock n roll but I like it

...And then after Dr. Feelgood Vince Neil went down the drain. With Def Leppard throwing the doors open, these dingy kids nowadays don't realize and accept this is what metal started out sounding like back in the 80's. Too Fast for Love is an awesome album. It's one of the few early albums that got me listening to metal in the first place. They stopped sounding fun after "Girls, Girls, Girls." Tommy Lee doesn't really want to be there anymore. He's kind of moved on and Nikki Sixx has his own band but still wants to be in Motley Crue.
You're wrong, dr. Feelgood is a masterpiece, while the self title album of the 1994 sucks
Been a Mötley Crüe fan since I was 13, I’m 26 now. My personal favorite order would be 1. Too Fast For Love 2. Shout At The Devil 3. Theatre of Pain 4.Dr Feelgood 5. Girls Girls Girls 6. Mötley Crüe 7. Saints of LA 8. New Tattoo 9. Swine 🤢 🤮 Honestly think the self titled album is severely underrated, John Corabi was actually a great addition to the band. Wish they would’ve kept him around or in the band playing guitar and back vocals, god knows Vince needs the help. Wish things didn’t end so sour with him, was one of their best records and could’ve been a step in the right direction for their careers and for the way music was going at the time
Yea obviously u never LISTENED to the Corabi 94 Crue record cuz it is one of the strongest albums period!!how.can u deny how much better the band band sounds on this particular record!!Tommy Lee NEVER sounded as good as he does on this one,as well as Mick Mars!!even NIKKI SIXX kinda tried to play bass on this one and CORABI is so much more talented then NEIL,Idk man,each to their own but most people couldnt handle it mostly cuz it wasn't the original lineup,but when u hear people talk about that 94 record today,u will hear almost word ford word what I am saying,musically theres not one single crue record that touches it and I love SHOUT and imo I would bet almost anything that YOU never even heard the album,cuz u didnt even name a track on it!!it is by far the HEAVIEST Motley record,not even close!!with songs like SMOKE THE SKY,HAMMERED,UNCLE JACK,TILL DEATH DO US PART,POWER TO THE MUSIC and MISUNDERSTOOD this record has no fillers imo and anyone can sit there and read the how long each song is,cuz I would guarantee that is what you did,cuz if ur gonna give something a bad review then say EXACTLY WHY,no all u could muster up was it was LONG!!I see straight thru BS and u my friend are a BS'r and I've seen other guys give reviews on this album but they say why,not ohit just sucks and its long and oh yea its the worst album ever!!EVERYTHING u said would be great for GENERATION SWINE cuz its god awful,with the exception of FLUSH and LET US PREY its complete garbage,vocals suck cuz they are using eaualizers and its all industrial garbage!!see thats how its done!!
