DID THEY INFLUENCE GUNS N' ROSES? First Time Hearing Motley Crue - Home Sweet Home Reaction! 

Absolutely!!

Agree 100% Follow that with Dr. Feelgood or Too Young To Fall In Love

@@Bigdogfindley or Primal Scream !!

Absolutely!

I love Wild Side; but I'm afraid it would be wasted on her. She keeps her eyes closed for most of the video - she would totally miss why everyone is ooh and aah over the video. Especially that one part....you know what I mean.

I remember those days.... back when MTV did play videos. lol The other retired song from their daily top ten was KISS' Forever, both songs had to be removed from their hourly show, although this Crue song definitely dominated longer. There was an article sometime either in the early 00's or 90's, and the president from MTV was asked about bringing videos back, and he said that he tried it for a short time, but their other programs were netting far better results. I do miss the days of the first iteration of MTV though.

Without You was my wedding song 😂 👍

Open Arms started them. But this song def kept it going into the stratosphere..... Wasn't this #1 on Total Request for like a full year?

Beth, by Kiss's Peter Criss

Thank you for your service 🫡

Glad you enjoyed as much as we did! 👊

Thanks for the intel Dustin!

Have to disagree some. The term glam rock had been around and used a lot in the 70s. I don't recall hearing glam metal so much, but most rock fans in the 80s did not consider Motley Crue as Heavy Metal either. They were a hard rock band doing the glam rock look that mtv wanted. And it was simply a product of mtv as all rock bands in the mid 80s looked exactly like this. Don't recall when people starting calling them hair bands, it was basically a derogatory term as many hated this look and didn't consider most of these bands as anywhere near as good as previous rock bands. Motley Crue was actually one of the few that got more respect and deservedly so. Others of that time have been rightfully, mostly forgotten.

@@stickman1742 - I'm not talking about Glam Rock. That's like David Bowie. I don't like that phrase either, bc it doesn't describe the music, it describes the look. I'm age 52. I saw Crue in 1985 when I was 13. I grew up in that era, and I and everyone else called Crue "heavy metal". I know, bc I was there. All those bands of that time were called heavy metal too, except bands like Bon Jovi, Poison, Europe and Honeymoon Suite which we called pop metal. Metalica, Slayer, Megadeth etc were considered underground hard core metal at the time. Nowadays, the goal posts have moved on everything heavier than pop. People call classic hard rock from 70's and 80's just "rock". Really? Then what Is Huey Lewis, or The Outfield? Soft Rock? Then what is Air Supply? "Really Really Soft Rock"? See what I'm saying? .....You say; "Others of that time have been rightfully, mostly forgotten". The 80's hard rock/metal genre was HUGE!!!! Well over 100 signed bands. Compare that to grunge with all of 10 bands. So yes, many of those 100+ faded into obscurity, but the main top tier bands of about 25-30 has stood the test of time, appearing on video games, movies, tv and online commercials, stadium sports events. 20+ Bands standing the test of time in 1 genre from 1 decade is more impressive than any other genre or decade. GNR was the first to hit 1 Billion views from any artists in the 20th Century. And GNR has 2 diff songs over 1 B and about to reach 2 Bil. GNR, Motley Crue, Kiss, Def Leppard, Iron Maiden, still sell out arenas, so would VH is still alive and touring. Yes, those "hair band" phrases are meant to be derogatory, that's why I hate them. I love music from all decades. If 70's kids don't like 80's, so be it. But there's a hell of lot more hard rock 80's bands that I love than 70's. 70's was a great decad for rock and hard rock, but that's just decade snobbery to put down great music with terms describing a look. These bands were great writers, performers with excellent musicianship. ---To me, since to goal posts moved, I'm okay with "Classic Hard Rock", or "Classic Metal".

Funny you say that. When I was on the g w, the captain loved lee Greenwood. If you know anything about carriers, they have refueling every three days, so The captain used Lee Greenwood as our breakaway song, so we were real tired of Lee Greenwood by the end of 6 months, and a petition was taken up amongst the 5000 people of the crew that we play home Sweet home as our breakaway song for the very last refueling before heading back home. He played the very first verse and the first chorus of Home Sweet Home and then cut it off and played greenwood. So annoying.

@@martyb5807 Yep, definitely familiar with unreps. I did 20 years on submarines, my brother did 30 on the surface side (Mississippi, Hayler, T.R., and Bush). Always had the “going home turns on” when we played “Home, Sweet Home”. Saturday nights were pizza nights with VHS copies of MTV Headbangers Ball on in Crews Mess. Hooyah, Navy!

Thank you!! 😁

You rock!

I think Aerosmith wrote that about Bon Jovi.

Live wire has always been a favorite of mine

GNR opened for Motley in 1987. They were very tight before they had a falling out. Slash was with Nikki Sixx the night he “died” from a heroin OD before he was revived in the ambulance.
