Saints of Los Angeles

by: Motley Crue

Release Date June 30, 2008
Crue in great album shocker! Seriously. I quite liked the lesser known and more recent Generation Swine and the eponomous Motley Crue albums, but really they've never hit the heights of their first album. I surely never saw this coming. For me, Shout at the Devil, Girls, Dr Feelgood and Theatre of Pain were an increasingly horrible attempt to ingratiate themselves to the MTV generation. Guns n Roses stepped in and took the credible metal vote while the Crue whored themselves into a panto act. But here there's a return to that scratchy under-produced brilliance, with a bit of craft that they picked up along the way. I don't normally do 5 stars.

Shout At The Devil

by: Motley Crue

Release Date June 02, 2003
Mick Mars voicechanger kicks off the album, promising devilish Rock and Roll, and it doesnt disappoint! Shout At The Devil is a rousing, kick ass track that pounds away at your head till your singing along throwing sixes in the air! Looks That Kill follows in the non-stop bangin' and thrashin', the song about all your ex's that you ever had.

Bastard is a hate filled rant against an old and beaten adversary, Helter Skelter the Beatles tune made evil by an injection of pure Motley. Red Hot is just that, molten music poured into vinyl. Too Young To Fall In Love was a live favourite, catchy chorus and a cool video to promote it.

Knock 'Em Dead Kid is brilliant, a middle finger to all that try and put you down. 10 Seconds ... Read More:

Dr. Feelgood

by: Motley Crue

Release Date June 02, 2003
I am a Crue fan from the early days. I am old enough to count myself lucky i saw Crue, LA Guns, Faster Pussycat when the 80's were the Rock Decade. This album, made me glad i missed this tour. Dr Feelgood the track, is outstanding, all swagger and pounding bass and drums. Vince is on fire with the lyrics and Mick's guitar is Glam riffing alles uber. Then it starts to slide and never quite recovers;

Slice of your pie? Please, its almost cringeworthy how the lyrics play out. I was ashamed that Sixx, Mars, Neil and Lee came up with such rubbish. The Crue of old was a sleazy, leecherous leather clad rocker; not a dirty old man in a mac.

Without You is terrible, cliched and worn out. Kickstart my Heart attempts to do just that, a ... Read More:

Too Fast For Love

by: Motley Crue

Release Date June 02, 2003
"Plug me in I'm alive tonight, out on the streets again!"

Every track on this album made you feel you were part of the LA scene; staggering from the Roxy to the Whiskey. Not a duff track as Vince, Mick, Tom and Nikki show you what glam rock is all about. I was young and impressionable, listening to Def Leppard, Hanoi Rocks and Dogs D'amour when this thing hit my local record shop. £££ later it was screamin' through my speakers....

Live Wire tore open a hundred mile an hour burst of music that wrecked my room, Piece Of Your Action saw me crooning into the mirror, my hair teased up like a cheap tart on Hollywood and Vine. Suddenly Rock was fun again, with a sleazy undertone that made you a sex god!

Too Fast For Love leaned ... Read More:

Girls, Girls, Girls

by: Motley Crue

Release Date June 02, 2003
This was the tour that never was, excuses like snow on the roof, missing band members, look-a-likes posing as Nikki Sixx. It all started the rapid downfall of the band. Wild Side fires up the engine, and a great job it does too. All strut and sex, the band sounding amazing and really punching above their weight. The title track follows, still strong but lacking the power of Wild Side. Too long spent listing the various cat houses and not enough lyrical content spoil it for me.

Dancing On Glass, suprise suprise, is about Nikki's drugs problem, and the song is a belter. Its also the last really decent track on the album. Bad Boy Boogie is as cliched as it sounds, Five Years Dead is a little better but still way below par for what these guys were capable ... Read More:

Theatre Of Pain

by: Motley Crue

Release Date June 02, 2003
When the best song on an album is a reasonably good cover of a mediocre bubblegum pop song (Smokin' in the Boys Room), then you know it's not going to be a classic.

Following the excellent first two albums, Too Fast For Love and Shout at the Devil, Crue take a serious nose dive with this lame effort. It was reasonably well received at the time, and the live shows were excellent but this is a real blot on the Crue landscape.

It is, and always was, cheap throw-away big hair pop-rock, as churned out by many bands at this time. Crue had been different to the others up to this point, they had something the others didn't, an attitude and an edge that shows up on the first two releases, but is all but gone on this one.

When I look at the album ... Read More:

Red White & Crue

by: Motley Crue

Release Date February 21, 2005
Motley Crue are one of those bands that will always be remembered. With brilliant heavy metal tracks like Girls Girls Girls, it's no wonder. The style, the glam, the sex, the drugs...that's all part of them and they're definatley in league with other classics like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Def Leppard and Motorhead.

Carnival of Sins: Live

by: Motley Crue

Release Date May 08, 2006
This cd is amazing. Awesome to drive to. I recommend it to any rock fan, especially those who love high pitched singing which Vince does a wicked job at in the gig. I'm seeing the Crue on June 12th and I can't wait. Buy it, won't be disappointed!

Music To Crash Your Car To

by: Motley Crue

Release Date December 01, 2003
As the previous reviewers have stated the music comes from the classic Crue era - there are very few, if any, bands who have produced music this good. However, this may seem pedantic, but I find the cover & title of this collection in extremely bad taste. Vince Neil, while full of alcohol, crashed his car killing Razzle ( Hanoi Rocks drummer )and he subsequently was prosecuted for the offence. The band, Hanoi Rocks not Crue, were on the verge of mega stardom in the US - it was felt that Guns N Roses filled the gap left by them and gained the status that they were due. The title trivialises this event - even worse shows no remorse for the death of a friend.

I do not look forward to subsequent volumes of this compliation as their best work is here and quality went rapidly ... Read More:
