Motley Crue - Wild Side (REACTION!) 

This is an older video from our Hair/Glam Metal Marathon on Patreon guys fyi. Enjoy!

I hate to break the news to every body but being young in the 80's was the absolute best, no facebook or instagram or tik tok, just real friends hanging around having fun and rocking out.

Mick Mars is one of THE MOST criminally underrated Guitarists!

"Just cuz we wear lipstick, doesn't mean we can't kick your ass" Motley Crue 1987

Another hair metal suggestion: “Youth Gone Wild” by Skid Row

Mötley Crüe was all about sex, drugs and rock and roll. No politics, nothing too serious. It was just fun.

This song is the bane of every metal fan who hates glam. This song is just irrefutably amazing. This coming from a black metal fan.

Shout at the devil is the the supreme Crue album. Their heaviest most badass metal

Do Motley Crue Live Wire

Motley in their prime. Nothing could touch them they were on fire back then. They set the standard in 83 with the release of the shout at the devil album and then everyone and their grandmothers tried to jump on the bandwagon

Other Mötley Crüe bangers: 1: Kickstart my heart 2. Shout at the devil 3. Piece of your action 4. Dr Feelgood 5. Live Wire 6. Too young to fall in love Ok so there’s a lot

As for the Girls, Girls, Girls album, I'd say it's pretty solid, but not as good as either Shout at the Devil (which is rawer) or Dr. Feelgood (which is more polished).

That "rawness " you love so much, that's in all of their songs. It's part of why they are one of the greatest bands in rock history.

Do “Too Young to fall in love” if you guys like that groove.

If you guys want to see a VERY underrated solo, Check out "home sweet home"

The 80s was just a great and a fun time to live. The music reflects the times...

If you see Motley Crue live, be forewarned. Vince Neil's voice is shot.

Hair/Glam/80's music doesn't get enough credit. Everyone is focused on looks and some of the cheeseiness but there's a lot of good, solid music from that era.

These guys rocked and partied so hard that Guns n Roses would not tour with them. Have seen them 4 different times, Girls Girls Girls, Generation Swine, and Dr. Feelgood tours. All were amazing!

“Ten seconds to love”,just a plain dirty song!!

The lyric in this song were some Sixx's best. Killer street level shit.

I am/was a bartender at Bill Graham Auditorium in ‘Frisco. When Crue played last time a few years ago, they were AN HOUR LATE opening the doors. But that was because it took so long for them to assemble Tommy’s drum setup. And Tommy picked some hot chick out of the crowd, strapped her into the passenger seat on his drum set. and took her on a 360 degree roller-coaster ride drum solo. 🤘 Everybody gets old and loses it one day. Not everybody puts a damn crease in the musical brain of a generation while they’re young and insane and can still survive that shit.

Still of the Night is another good one.

As one of your older viewers who was a teenager in the 80's and a huge metal head, Hair metal was about fun. There wasn't an agenda, political ideology or trying to make a statement. We had a great time, enjoyed life and didn't give a shit. It was a great time for music

These guys partied harder than any band in rock in the 80's. hung out and partied with Mexican mafia. They may have "looked pretty" but they were hardcore.

Warrant's Uncle Tom's Cabin is a fantastic southern gothic story about seeing something you shouldn't have.

Motley Crue were the epitome of 80's rock lifestyle excess...Kickstart My Heart is a song about the guitarist Nikki Sixx being revived after a heroin overdose...these guys partied HARD...

I'm going to keep requesting these, I think they're pretty heavy for hair metal (a genre I'm not a fan of) : Whitesnake, Still of the Night Dokken, It's not Love Tesla, Modern Day Cowboy Motley Crue, Looks That Kill

Whitesnake - “Still of the Night”. Epic song from the era.

November 87", saw that tour with the original opening act about two weeks after they released a little album called "Appetite For Destruction". G&R Opening for Motley Crue.....Ahhhhhh the good old days....

Crue in the day... pure gold! Say what you want about the genre as a whole... there really was a lot of great musicianship and showmanship to be had! Cinderella, Ratt, Winger, Dokken, Def Lep.... the list of great acts is large!!

Born in 1970...I look back and smile, I was a kid in the 70’s, a teen in the 80’s, in my 20’s in the 90’s....what a great time to be alive, anything before 9/11 was great, then the PC ass hats FK’d up all the fun...my motto then was work hard, play hard, and FK hard...lol now I’m 49 with a family, a business, now a respectable person in my area if they could only have seen me in my prime..lol

Watch their movie “The Dirt” on Netflix; shows how they were formed

80s Hair Metal was a product of many different social and musical trends. On the musical side you had the success of 70s AOR, the influence of Van Halen and their guitar-centric style and good-time party mentality, and finally you had Quiet Riot's chart success that showed record companies that "metal" could sell. Socially you had no major wars, a booming economy and the ascendance of cocaine as the drug of choice. Plus you had an influx of digital technology that lead to the distinctive sounds of 80s production. It was the decade of decadence and excess, and the music reflected that.

"Is 80's hair metal a response to the Vietnam war & the general bad feelings of the 70's?" Poison: "Ain't looking for nothing but a good time."

Can you react to “Looks That Kill” also by Motley Crue?

I actually saw these guys live back around this time, and saw the infamous drum kit. Tommy Lee and his drumset would lift off the ground, and start spinning around and going upside down and shit while he was playing. It was crazy. Went with a couple of girls in their car without a ticket to the concert, just to hang with them on the trip. They went inside the concert and some guy came up and gave me a ticket while I was sitting on the stairs to the venue in Miami, no lie!

If you plan on doing some more Crüe, I'd recommend: "Too Young To Fall In Love", "Red Hot", "Merry Go Round", "Live Wire", "On With The Show", Just to name a few. Their early stuff is the best! Those first two albums were untouchable compared to their later records.

When fans talk about 80s metal having become diluted, superficial, mass produced, etc., it's important to know that *Motley Crue isn't one of the bands* fans have in mind when lamenting 80s metal. Those derisions have been aimed more towards the Whitesnake, Bon Jovi, Warrant, and Poison end of the spectrum. Not Motley. No, the Crue have always been the real deal. Motley and Van Halen were the first bands to break out of the Sunset Strip club scene, and they did so by being original. It was everyone else who was copying them. Motley Crue and Van Halen weren't derivative. They were the trendsetters. The other bands wanted to be like them, but they never could've been because those two bands were actually legitimate musicians & entertainers. Other than Guns N Roses, no one else in the 80s could say that.

"Bastard" was a nasty tune off of Shout at the Devil LP.

Watch the film called "The Dirt" based on the book by the band. Then you will know how WILD they really were!

"Girls, Girls, Girls" went all the way to Number-2 in the charts; on its way to the Number-1 slot, Whitney Houston debuted at the Top Spot in 1987. Girls was recorded under extreme addictions; Nikki Sixx actually died at the conclusion of the Japanese leg of the tour; that event forced the band into sobriety and the result was "Dr. Feelgood" the band's first number-1 album. Sixx, to this day, will tell the world that he is still in recovery. If you have time and want to learn more about Motley Crue in 1987, please read (or listen to audiobook) "The Heroin Diaries" by Nikki Sixx and be prepared...

Live Wire is Crüe's most powerful badass song ever... give it a shot

You want raw, wild hair metal? W.A.S.P - I Wanna Be Somebody. You WILL enjoy that song.

I have seen Mötley Crüe 5 times. One time no one (including ex-husband) wanted to go with me so I took the money I would have spent on the group and went alone and sat front row. Poison opened and CC made eyes at me and Nikki threw "blood" on me at the close. Still one of the best decisions I've ever made. 🤟

STILL awaiting Whitesnake. 🤷‍♂️

I saw Motley Crue years ago when they were at their prime. They were just phenomenal. Tommy Lee is one of the best drummers ever, and their stage show is still killer.

I saw this tour with Whitesnake as the opening act in Providence, RI. It was basically everything that an 80's metal show was supposed to be. Big, Insane, sleazy and loud. Awesome.

You know it's good when George & Ryan go in to Beavis & Butthead mode

Being in the Army oversees in late 80's, this kind of music was what kept us going in the barracks!!

I love how they are mean mugging while bobbing their heads. This is like the perfect song to do that.

I remember being at this concert at Market Square Arena in Indianapolis when they filmed this video. They played the song twice and Tommy's solo was a lot longer. This was the last show I saw before going to boot camp.

If you like Motley Crue lettin’ it all out, I suggest y’all give Primal Scream a go. ❤️

You guys need to react to Primal Scream! That songs rocks as much as this one does!

For all the things Crue is, was and has been - say what you want, Tommy Lee is a badass drummer

Ryan, you thought this was raw? You guys need to check out "Live Wire", off of their first album! Great song!

This is the first video that they ever did during a live performance. The trac on tha album did not have the crowd. These guys came up with the flamboyant stage show even in the clubs. Whiskey A Go Go was a big club for these guys.

Girls Girls Girls is an uneven album with a couple of bangers and lots of filler...If your gonna do an entire album then definitely do "Shout At The Devil" No Filler at all. Every single track is either at the same level as WildSide or very close to it...

The song "Shout at the Devil" would be another great choice when doing another Motley Crue song....about Def Leppard...you have to do a rock song by them to give them a fair shake. Try "Let it Go" its raw and I know you guys would enjoy it.

The video was shot in Indianapolis. They actually played the song twice in a row to get all of the footage. I know because I was there! It's the studio cut with the crowd noise added in.

Dokken is pronounced Dock-en. Definitely do a Ratt song. "Wanted Man,"" Lack of Communication," or a really good one is "You're in Love." Twisted Sister is good. Poison - "Nothing But A Good Time" is a good one. Ozzy had a hair metal phase too, check out "The Ultimate Sin." You guys are great, keep it up! 🤘🏻

You need to read “The Heroin Diaries” by Nikki. He actually wrote the entire Girls album and was so high all the time he doesn’t actually remember doing it

They are "Glam" Rock Gods. The absolute definition of ROCK-STAR. These guys were bad ass and owned every stage they took. 17:33 spot on dude, 100% accurate.

Great one yall ! Skid Row should be on this marathon - Youth Gone Wild is a great one

Y'all need to watch the Netflix movie "The Dirt"

Wait til you hear Ten Seconds To Love off of their album Shout At The Devil... Also they call it Glam Metal now but back then this was Heavy Metal

Vince Neil is where Aerosmith came up with "Dude Looks Like a Lady". They walked in on a set and saw him from behind.

Guys, just be warned, Crue live is now a very different experience to their 80’s heyday!

Tommy’s drums really drive the sound of this band. They were unique because all 4 members brought a unique sound together. Each band member had something awesome to contribute. This was right around their prime. This and Feelgood. Lots of other good stuff, but this was prime. I saw them live so many times back then. So so glad I did. They were so much better back then. Night and day .

I see a lot of recommendations for Skid Row but if you do the best & most fun is Youth Gone Wild. 18 & life and I Remember You are very ballad-y. Good, but power ballad types.

Partly because people just wanted to party and have fun instead of being down about life and what's going on in the world. And, the booming economy also helped with that. At least in America.

You nailed it. The 80's were the generation X-er's, a term used to describe alienated youth.

Seen them in concert 6 times and witnessed Tommy get stuck upside down 2 of those times. One of those times he had to be removed, he was stuck upside down for so long

If anyone wanted to know what the 80's were like, just show them this. They are the epitome of sex, drugs and rock n roll, everything in excess and turned up to 11. 😎

Guys, check out “Youth Gone Wild” by Skid Row, probably the heaviest hair metal band from that era. Slave to the Grind is their best album, tho.

REACT TO MÖTLEY CRUE- LIVE WIRE their best song easily

2:30 ish... yes. The 80’s was the decade of decadence. The 60’s and 70’s were over. It was time to party.

Give Ted Nugent's Stranglehold and Motörhead's Heros a try!

"I'm going to a motley Crue concert this year". That comment didn't age well lol

React to “Take me to the top”

yall should watch the dirt on netflix. idk if it's entirely accurate but it's rly entertaining to see how this band came to be.

About Mötley Crüe, just four words: Shout At the Devil. That song is their greatest, heavy and groovy all around.

MÖTLEY CRÜE - GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS (UNCENSORED) is a MUST watch for you guys!

"It's not supposed to be beautiful" well said man! Motley Crue were always a big step up on the integrity level vs alot of other glam copycat bands.

In the book, “heroin diaries” (which I highly recommend) Nikkis Sixx was sleeping with some catholic school girl and asked her for the words to the Lord’s Prayer... that’s where he got the lyrics from.

My father never did sh*t for me EXCEPT buy me tickets to the Girls, Girls, Girls concert where GnR opened for them, November 11, 1987 Huntsville, AL. So hey, thanks Daddy, “you done good.” Nikki Sixx actually grabbed my hand, a night I’ll never forget.🤘🏼

"Just because we are wearing lipstick doesn't mean we can't kick your ass." -Tommy Lee

Take it from someone who used to be a huge Motley Crue fan before I became a thrash and death metal guy, you guys should check out Knock Em Dead Kid from the Shout at the Devil album. This song will never get the requests it deserves, but check it out in your own time, I don't think you'll be disappointed because that song is pretty hard

Watch The Dirt on Netflix. It's a movie about Motley Cruë.

For the 67 thumbs down, really, The Crue?? You’re just jealous we had this music and you didn’t. You’re green with envy 🤢🤮

Yall HAVE to do early Crue, man. You will not go back.

"Our idea of success was....how many more AMPS can we get on stage." Tommy Lee

This song is the epitome of 80's rock. Brash, over the top, and excessive. Album-wise, after the first 2 tracks, the rest of the songs on Girls Girls Girls are good, but not great. From start to finish, I think Shout At The Devil and Dr. Feelgood are better albums.

Motley Crue: Looks that kill Don't go away mad Red hot Home sweet home

Yes the whole damn album rocked! I know one time MÖTLEY CRÜE any OZZY went on tour together , when they got back , both bands(the entire band on both sides) went into rehab, no shit. OZZY was banned from Texas for peeing on the Alamo! Before everybody starts coming for me this info I got from watching VH1 documentary and it was quoted by none other than “ Nicki Sixx” .

Mick's experience let the band develop behind his amazing riffs.

Think the guys would love Looks That Kill.

You should check out Tommy Lees drum solo on the Cruecifly drum set. Its amazing!

You made me like a Motley Crue song, which is quite a achivement... not easy to jump from Tool to MC though.

You need to play Skid Row “18 and Life” Sebastian Bach’s voice is insane
