Their record label didn’t want the song. The band didn’t listen and pushed it anyway. When it came time to record the video, the band had to fund it and record it themselves. It set a record for the most requested video on MTV which unlike today, actually aired music videos all day and night. It stayed at #1 for 14 weeks and caused MTV to change their rules on call in requests. They named it the Crue Rule. It only allowed a 30 day eligibility for video requests. 👊🏼

NOTHING will ever top an '80s Crue concert in terms of a party...

Saw them back in the day and Guns and Roses was the opening act. I was in my 20’s and it really was a great time for music! Went to a lot of concerts and it was really like the video. No cell phones to distract us so we were really living in the moment! I really miss those days, it was the best of times for sure! Happy to see y’all enjoying this great music!! 🎸🤘

Seen them in concert too they are an excellent band, but they were self destructive. Vince was arrested for killing a passenger in his vehicle while driving drunk they all had drug and alcohol problems, and women problems. Mick had all kinds of health problems

Every metal/hair band had their power ballad. Some were kind of sappy but this song is one of the best 80s power ballads...it's still got some kick to it. Fly To The Angels by Slaughter is my other favorite power ballad, & it's based on a real loss by the singer. Skid Row's I Remember You is also an extremely famous rock power ballad...Sebastian Bach's voice is incredible & he later starred in a couple Broadway shows.

The 80's were the best!!

The power balled that started it all guys. This was the one. MTV had to make the decision to stop playing it after like 2 or 3 months because no other band could get onto the most requested video top spot. It was called the Crue rule.

Their very first world tour "Shout At The Devil" lasted 18 months. They opened for Ozzy Osbourne. By the end of that tour they wanted to come home.This song was written for their next album "Theater of Pain" 1985 .

Regarding Mick Mars solos...we always hated it that Crue songs didn't always have a solo... but, if you pay attention...many of their songs have outro solos. So, even though you know the song is ending soon...don't disregard Mick at that time. I saw the Crue on the Dr Feel-good tour...it was awesome. 100% pure energy from start to finish.

Tommy Lee on piano.

Good show live in concert, still touring today 🤘😆🤘🎤🥁🎸🎸

This was the first tour I ever saw Crue...this song pretty much introduced the power ballad and evey hair band followed soon after

Was my 1st concert I was 19 nobody is better live!

Once of the best 80's rock ballads. Set the standard for those that came after.

I saw Motley a bunch of times throughout the yrs...first being in '87 with Guns N Roses as an opening band.

Love motley crue, love this song. These musicians gave us their all. I miss the lighters. Such respect for our musicians. Thank you for the reaction. Thank you crue for the music and the good times that went with it.

There ya go boys. Love The Crue. Keep em coming. Peace.

I was lucky enough to catch Motley Crue live for their Dr Feelgood tour and it was amazing. It was the concert where Tommy Lee was on the rotating roller coaster drum set. They sounded alot better than they do today plus Dr Feelgood is one of my favorite albums

This is the video that broke MTV back in the day. It was #! for so long that MTV literally retired the video. Amazing song! Amazing band. Amazing concerts. Been to several including Crue Fest.
