Great Article. I’ve been a crue fan since the early days. They are by far one of the best bands to come out of the 80’s and contrary to popular opinion, I do not consider them hair metal. I think they time dictated the look but the music was solid all the way.

:bites check while wondering if previous poster (#16) realizes that this is not Motley Crue who either wrote the article nor that run this site:

:bites other check wondering if Jayson or Chuck Klosterman might have also had an old song from the 80s that wuz put out “back then” that poster #16 might have been referring to:

For years I have tried to bite my tongue while the words “Motley Crue” and “music” are mentioned in the same sentence. No more.

Thank you, Motely Crue, for making me ill enough to be willing to check out metal with substance and balls.

Only heard this stuff on the radio (over and over and over…..), was never a ‘fan’ but always appreciate anything done well. As far as the catalog, when this band hit it they hit it bullseye, and I also am glad to see teh Crue on emusic. Also gotta agree w/ comment elsewhere that the “Motley Crue” album, sans Mr. Neil (sorry, Vince) is…pretty damn good. Now: how about some Husker Du, emusic?

Huge gaping hole: No love for “Live Wire”? Fun to listen to, fun to cover.

I felt this was a pretty accurate description of the Crue’s catalog. I love independant music of every flavor but like most music nazis, I have a few skeletons in my closet and the Crue is one of them. It’s so easy for the average listener to despise the Crue and certainly the band gives you many good excuses to, but behind the 70% shitty songs and the ego and the spandex there’s a sweet, teenaged caveman spirit that makes you want to be retarded in the best possible way; it tickles that prehistoric fossilized funny bone that makes your head explode and fantasize about large breasted Amazonian women. It’s stupid music for the part of you that’s built to believe that life is short and there’re no second chances; if you let go of logic and reason, even just for three and a half minutes, there’s a form of lizard brained nirvana there that you can’t get anywhere else. Unfortunately most people are too afraid of the unknown to tear down rational walls and admit how absurd everything is. I feel like this music can enliven and enlighten you just as profoundly as Marvin Gaye or Cat Power or whatever, you just have to let go.

I will say they are/were better than Poison or. The more music offered here the better for we fans of music.

Long live eMusic!
