John Corabi on Motley Crue's Drug Use During 1994 Album, The Dirt Embellishments - Interview 2021 

Yup!!!

They flopped with him.

But it still was a crap album .

@@handsomerube Yeah they have been doing so bad since they let corabi go. Several new worldtours ,several books,a netflix movie and gaining a whole new fanbase .

It was a great album.

!

Absolutely!! Just an Amazing album! Corabi is heads above Crue on talent!

Damn right!!

Tommy's drumming is always top notch. Shout at the Devil should make any pro drummer blush!

By far nothing close to their best album

*than what he has received. not gotten.

All True, and you Never know what state, town, venue, or guitar store you will run into John.

Hell we were walking into a po dunk Mississippi guitar store...there's Corabi. When walking into KISS Alive 35 in Nashville 2010, we walked right into John Corabi, then Jeff LeBarr.

@Brian Hess I like how everyone online says "that one album was killer" now, yet no one bought it or tickets to their shows.

Sure, ‘Hooligan’s Holiday’ always rounds out everyone’s too 20 list of Motley songs. 😆

Smoke the sky is the hardest rocking song I've ever heard

@@johndeaux3703 🎶 Everybody wants a piece of the action!!

@@jasonmorgan8110 Absolutely!🤘🍻

best one they ever did

he made 2 fantastic albums with them. Best stuff they ever did! Still sounds fresh today.

Badass album, he killed it!

It's a great album, one of their best.

He’s the better of the two singers by miles.

But this album sucked

No. It was Mick Mars.

Now you're talkin'. The Scream was incredible. Wish that band got resurrected.

​@@DirtyBlues8 they'd literally have to resurrect Walt Woodward. He dead. I did totally love The Scream. Remnants of Racer X. 🤘😛🤘

I did too!! That Motley record still kicks ass and holds up today. Tommy just killed it and the drum sounds were incredible along with John's work on the guitar & vocals. I believe Mick Mars said it was his favorite Motley record & that he hated the Generation Swine POS that followed.

I think it's one of there best to be honest I get shit for that and liking generation swine.

I appreciate that, Scott. Thank you!

@@fullinbloom You're better than Eddie Trunk! You know-The dude that loves to keep on ragging on KISS... and Paul Stanley in particular! You stayed on point, and that's totally cool with me!

@@ronaldshank7589 Thank you, Ronald.

Curious to know what stories he had on Neil haha

lol Get off the pipe

I can see why you would say Corabi was the best singer but Vince was & is special also. The 1994 album was brilliant

Hell yeah it is!! This album prooved and I believe it earned them the respect of being serious musicians.

Ill take the first 3 and the 94 record. Didn't care for feelgood much other than Kickstart. I'm a huge fan but they haven't done anything since 94 that was good. Just my opinion. Wish mick would get that solo record out, would love to hear what he's doing.

@@otisdriftwood8469 totally agree, girls girls girls was only album before generation of swine I don't like much

@@V0liathon i like wildside and girls but the rest is filler.

Nikki is or was the biggest narcissist to walk the face of rock..

@@TVoltG I get that impression too.

Dont be jelly

@@sasha_sash9660 OKI'll be honest I AM jelly of his jet black palm tree wig. And his open mouth and teeth in every band shot. And the elephant in the room, his bass playing. Guy is a virtuoso

@@karlsalocks Just like tought .Your hate says it all .

Motley Crue is bad for Nikki you don't think he's turned into a decent person. More people think that then this guy. What bloody happened to what stays on tour. Have a cry mate you're no longer in Motley Crue. Boo hoo, Nikki is still going. Next, bitching about James and Lars. Motley crue's worst album. This guys ones

@@New_Zealand_Music what the fuck did any of THAT mean? LOL!

Amen

@@Whateves73 I think what he's trying to say Nikki is a d-bag POS who'd drown a bag of kittens for a dollar.

Meh He's no Nikki Sixx and he definitely wasnt there on their best albums (any before 1994)

I lobe motley crue, but Vince Neil sucks live. He cannot sing a lick

I agree. If you don’t think of it as a Crue album it’s a great listen. First time I heard it I didn’t know it was Crue. My buddy didn’t tell me who it was until after I listened to it.

100% agree. I love every single Motley album up to and including the Corabi album. I spent hundreds of hours listening to all of them in the 90's. He (along with Bob Rock) was the best thing to ever happen to that band. Generation Swine with Vince is still to this day the worst album I've ever heard in my entire life.

I agree with you whole heartedly on that the album is one of the best ever hard rock album, but its just not a Mötley Crüe album. Without Vince its not Mötley Crüe. Period. It was a good band with Corabi and the album deserved a much better reception but it flopped because its not a Mötley Crüe album...Flopped because the audience wanted a Crüe album.

Definitely NOT, any true crue lover will not agree with you, yes john is talented, that album had some OK songs. But doesn't even come close to comparing with any other albums with Vince, hey I'd be even willing to say, if john was a part of the band the whole time. He could mabey have sung the classics better then vince. But that album just wasn't good.

I agree, it was the Crue’s heaviest hardest album. John did an amazing job. The album would have done better if it had been released a little later than it was

You start to see shit that isn't there 🤘🤘🤘🤘

By day three everyone smells like BO, regret and desperation.

it feels like the first but it seems you have partied weeks in a row you lose sense of time

Not as fun as you’d think. The first time is. But you never get that again.

Sleep deprivation + stimulants = psychosis. By night two alone mental capacity has been significantly reduced. I can’t imagine how inane the conversations get by day 3.

classic...

Agree..

I’m not a MC fan aside from a few of the hits, but that album has some reputable writing & some good tracks: “Hooligans Holiday”, “Poison Apples”, “Misunderstood” (although it’s just a rip off of The Beatles “Dear Prudence”) are all great tracks that show a maturity they’d never achieve before or since. That album had some credibility, but the rest of their career is just silly & fun, but not to be taken serious in the realm of what I’d call “musicians or songwriters” per se.

It is a good album, it’s just not Mötley Crüe. If they made a completey new band it would be fucking killer and history could of been much different but because it was under Mötley Crüe it plummeted because Vince is the voice for Mötley Crüe.

Only good song was Hooligan's Holiday - and basically every song on their first 5 albums was superior to HH

I heard that. Lol

Ultimate liar

Who cares, he's hot!

🤢@@lillianp8900

@@lopear111 Hello Pearl... lol

MAKE UP YOUR FUCKIN MIND!!!!!😆

As stated in the description, this is an excerpt from a longer interview.

@@qdaveq6597 And I realize that, my dude- it's always stated at the start of these videos, which then normally proceed in very interesting fashion.

True. And you also knew that Nikki was not a hardcore heroin user. Like John Corrobi says....he "dabbled" with it. Meaning that he may have tried it here and there. But never became a full-blown addict like Slash and Duff were in Guns & Rose's. And that's the problem; Nikki and Motley wanted to be like G&R in the late 80's. Because in 87, 88, 89 Guns were way bigger than Motley. And Nikki knew that. That's why he made his heroin use seem bigger than it was. For attention!

@@frankferriolo9212 no doubt...I guess I need to remember that this was just a Netflix movie...I expected a little more and was left with a lot less. I honestly think Behind the Music did a better job than Netflix 😂

@@frankferriolo9212 Smartest Comments here by far ! Kurt Cobain- was a hardcore heroin user and look what happened to him. The lifestyle killed him. The Machine - as Duff calls it in his great book It' So Easy and Other Lies. You cannot have a full-time heroin habit, produce great records and fulfil your contractual obligations of playing 60 concerts worldwide whilst using daily. Keith Richards and Jimmy Page both tried it and it almost killed the pair of them. I have read countless books on The Stones where Jagger told 'Keef' if he wanted to live his Babylonian lifestyle, it would require a never ending process off record company & babd management wanting a huge album followed by huge tour repeating a never ending cycle of which both the Stones, and Led Zeppelin, did throughout the whole of the Seventies. Even Dave Grohl in September 2021 said, ' In Utero was a horrible album.' It wasn't selling even as half as much as Nevermind and Cobain was becoming very difficult to communicate, live and tour with. March 1994 - Massive European tour cancelled by Nirvana. Cobain would NOT clean up as he thought he was 'special. ' However, unlike Keef from The Stones, Kurt Cobain could NOT ride 'the Machine.' It threw Cobain off . . . . . . it killed him. POSTSCRIPT JIMMY Page and Keef at least did a decade off huge selling albums & even bigger tours.

Yeah I thought the movie was cool, but talked to my older sister who followed them more than I did; she said it was "campy" Lol

@@katewithat that movie sucked ass It was like a G rated after school special with bad acting, sets, writing and cinematography Only MGK looked anything like the irl members

My ex gf met Nikki and Tommy and she aaid they were very nice ad opposed to Lars and James, who she also met, who were, according to her, aholes

Agreed with some good songs scattered on various other albums

Yeah, he's been so successful after all.
