Heartfelt Reaction to Motley Crue - You're all I need 

This is their best song imo

Song meaning: When informed of this, Nikki Sixx laughed because of the gruesome meaning behind the song. As Sixx would later relate in his Heroin Diaries memoir, "You're All I Need" was inspired by some real-life violent impulses. Convinced his girlfriend at the time had been cheating on him with actor Jack Wagner, who was then enjoying a taste of pop stardom with his hit single "All I Need," Sixx wrote his own song - then played it for his ex. "I took the cassette over to her apartment and I didn't say anything. I just had a little cassette player and I just played it for her, and she started crying, and I walked out the door," he later told Rolling Stone. "I was like, 'Well now, that's that.'"[2] However, the rest of the band praised the song and it was recorded for the Girls, Girls, Girls album. In Nikki's book The Heroin Diaries, a journal entry states that Tommy Lee was playing the song on the piano, and Nikki wrote the lyrics for the piano part.

I've been a Crue fan since I was 13, even wore a Crue shirt at my first professional presentation. I am now 47 years old and I have to give it to you darling, you nailed the message right in the box! I've been married for over 20 years and I must say it has not always been nuts and honey 😁. We stepped back a few times and gave it some air just to find out there is us and our kids... no one else to vouch for us. Our method to the madness is not fairly suited for most, as is our manner. What is most important is that you must watch for those signs that tell you it's time to step back, and that doesn't mean you are retreating or surrendering. It means that you respect yourself and the people you love just enough to place love and dependence on the balance in order to make a choice in what's best for EVERYONE.

I remember when this first came out. To me it brought up the idea that in today's society we watch these horror movies and think nothing of it but the real life we have enough real life horrors already. Hope that made sense

One of my fav Crue songs! Nikki Sixx is a genius

Grew up listing to Motley Crue my mom and dad played these guys endlessly and was lucky to see them live twice great reaction

This has to be the best vocal performance from Vince Neil. Such a unique voice.

Always been one of my favorites of theirs. Underrated song, that I wish they had played live at some point.

This is also not the entire song, I will double check and edit if I'm wrong, but there is an entire verse missing, probably shortened for playing on MTV. Edit - Ok, here it is, couldn't remember for sure but yes, cut out. "Tied up smiling I thought you were happy Never opened your eyes I thought you were napping I got so much to learn About love in this world But we finally made the news"

This song was written after Nikki Sixx read about a domestic violence situation in the news paper

This is what I was talking about, seeing soccer moms walking around dept. stores singing the chorus to this, because it was playing on the overhead speaker system, and they didn't know the song, just the chorus. It was really "dark" and morbidly hilarious. 😅

a song banned in several countries when it was released ,,

Acoustically it is an incredibly beautiful power ballad. I heard of a couple wanting this song played at their wedding (until they were told what the lyrics were). I wish there was a way Crüe could play it live, maybe as an instrumental.

Ah , the mid-late 1980's . The era when the entire world was banging their heads and all rock/metal bands had a power ballad in their arsenal of hits.

4:39 in case you were wondering what girls meant on his guitar? This song is off the 'girls girls girls' cd

Wow ain't heard this in a long time, great reaction my friend ❤️.

Hi and thanks for your reaction. I believe this song and video was made in the 1980's, now I'm not sure if domestic abuse was really talked about, or if people were informed about it and the serious problems which can result from it, but clearly this song highlighted the deadly effects of it. I really enjoyed the music and the singing, but like you said the lyrics and video are really hard hitting, and they should be to show and hopefully educate people about this form of abuse. Thanks for sharing, have a lovely evening.

Nikki Sixx wrote this song for an old crazy girl friend. It was love/hate. He told her he wrote a rock ballad for her saying how much he loved her. He sent her the demo... and she wasn't too happy to say the least. He said in his book when he found out she was pissed he laughed his ass off. This whole song was just so Nikki could get a good laugh. He needed it though. As you can see in the video, he's fucked up on heroin

This is a tough song to get through 😢 so cool that you checked it out though! Peace and love to you

I’m sorry... but I love this song ❤️💔

MTV in 1988 banned this from being played as a music video.

You're All I need is from the 1987 Motley Crue album Girls Girls Girls The video was banned on MTV As per Wikipedia :. You're All I Need" was inspired by some real-life violent impulses. Convinced his girlfriend at the time had been cheating on him with actor Jack Wagner, who was then enjoying a taste of pop stardom with his hit single "All I Need," Sixx wrote his own song - then played it for his ex. "I took the cassette over to her apartment and I didn't say anything. I just had a little cassette player and I just played it for her, and she started crying, and I walked out the door," he later told Rolling Stone. "I was like, 'Well now, that's that.

Wherever I hear this song I always think of Jodi Arias ! Mainly because she was obsessed with him and in this song it mentions "so many times I said you'd only be mine". Now Jodi Arias said" if I can't have you, no one will". Very similar story and stuff like this seems to happen a lot more than people think. So I think motley crue wanted to tell people how relationships can turn toxic at anytime and can turn deadly especially if the person is obsessed or has an obsessed personality like Jodi

This shit really happened, actual footage that's why it was banned from MTV for years.

I love how she thought Mötley Crüe was going to do an R&B remix ... lol not quite

This video was banned by MTV back in the 80's

This video version is not the entire song. Parts of the song for the video such as lyrics was cut out. Also part of the guitar solo was shortened.

I didn't know they even made a video for this song.

the song is about a man who was lied to ,cheated on and used , until he finally snapped and did the unthinkable ! but very few see the facts , they almost all side with the woman ! he was as much a victim as she was , a very sad song ! I lived through ten years of this kind of abuse , before doing the right thing , walking away ! some are`nt that strong !

its based on his misses cheated on him and he made this song and gave it to her to listen to and she had chills but it was what he wanted her to listen to really and gave her the song and she broke down in tears its in his documentary watch it its good

Love how cool the band looks in the video and the music is awesome. Cant believe they used real 6 oclovk news video for the video guess it was cheaper. Mic Mars girls girls girls guitar YES I

Yeah I had been looking around to see somebody react to this because MTV bandit for being too graphic back in the day but it looked at domestic violence way before it was as bad as it is today and maybe if they would’ve showed it back then it would’ve deterred some people from domestic violence

Look up other Motley songs. Not all sad~ but bad ass!

You’re all I need One that Mary J Blige and Method Man did and then there was a real old-school version at the Marry and Method Man was the best

good video

My thoughts; Yeah, there’s a lot of fucked up people out there. Hurting women and children. Sadly, it will probably never change. Criminals and predators are given more protection and love than victims. So why would it change. There’s even predators names on the back of NFL players football helmets because of the way they died, they became martyrs?? Fucked up world we live in.....BTW,, shoulders 😍😍

Uggggg these power ballads make my skin crawl those were always a great bathroom break at the concerts. She want to hear a great love song by a rock band listen to dancing in the moonlight by Thin Lizzy that has got to be one of the greatest songs about love

Request. Motley Crue home sweet home

This is a odd sound to request a reaction to. Yes it’s not a bad song from them , but you really need to be a fan to appreciate it.

I bellerive the orginal video is STILL banned from MTV.... SINCE 1987

Black Dahlia by Hollywood Undead and also Bullet

Request ...Pantera-"No Good Attack the Radical"

This song is equivalent to Rihanna's "Love The Way You Lie" , toxic relationship. Only thing is the guy killed his girl. Cause he was jealous and possessive.

Yeah r n b cover lol sounds like a like and Tina turner love song . Just kidding disturbing song but it happens . Nikki just trying to shed some light. Ought check out gun and roses I use to love her similar story

you dont understand the story in the song , he gave all , and she took it and took advantage of him , all the while lying and cheating and blaming him for her actions ! I`ve lived this ,all but the killing part , though she had me considering suicide on more than one occasion , while she ruined her life chasing one worthless piece of dirt after another , only to ruin her own life and run herself into an early grave , to this day I still miss ! he snapped , he was`nt the monster , she was !

This is based on a true story by Nikki Sixx himself. Nikki was currently dating a woman that he really loves a lot during that period of time. Nikki was at the hospital or somewhere when he was alone. He finds something fishy with this woman that he dated that day. So he followed and saw her cheating with another guy. So he composed this song and when the song is finished. The first thing he did is go to the house of that woman who has been cheating on him and Nikki Sixx himself let her listen to this song. Ps. I have listened to this song for years since I was a little boy and I felt this song was not too painful for me because I never felt what love was like back then. Eventually, I have found the love of my life time in the year 2019 and I have been married since 2021 and I get to find out that she has been cheating on me behind my back for more than 3 years. And right now in 2024, when I started back listening to this song I have been crying so badly till I felt like killing her and felt too suicidal. Right now, this song is now becoming a story of mine.

Next song? Janies Got’ A Gun by Aerosmith.

GREAT Reaction Tasha....but I truly think this song sux !!!!!

Yeah ladies pay close attention if you got a man who will go to the end of the earth and back for you do not do him dirty and cheat on him or this very well could be you.

PSA @ 8:58

A love song was written from the point of view of a psychopathic killer....

Nope! The title of the song and lyrical content are totally different!!

Worst Crue song ever ! ms T plz do Whiskey Myers ....Stone ...
