To be a member of Motley Crue or RATT in the 1980's was to be at the epicenter of cool and living as fast as humanly possible. The chicks, the parties, the motorcycles, the cars the houses, the shows, the tours & ultimately the CHICKS. I remember crazy christian groups protesting Motley & Ozzy's show in numerous cities. Incredible days gone forever.
I went and watched some footage of that show and he doesn’t sound good. Even lots beer wouldn’t make him sound better but at least he doesn’t seem to be using a backing track. Tommy got caught and Sukki Dixx well he’s crap.
@@babylemonade2868 Vince has been caught reading the words to songs he's sang for over 40 years- teleprompter on stage . There comes a time when one must simply sit down. Vince needs to sit down. He's done.
@@doubledome2076 Vince is so fucking lazy he doesn't bother reading the teleprompter right in front of him. I'll bet he would if it was a dessert menu.
NO HE IS NOT A PURE HUMAN AT ALL... he, his son and ex wife play with ouija boards and try to talk to the devil so he can become a rock star. He became possessed definitely and he played for people... just never made any money... He is in complete LOSER DENILE... He was actually happier being a truck driver and made legit money driving the ruck! BUT since he's such a rock star... he quit his job so he could go and hang with RATT. John Corabi will tell the cameras that he can shred on guitar but he CAN NOT DO LEADS because when he was a kid... A DRUM STICK WENT THROUGH HIS HAND... so he really can't play the guitar the way he wants to... JOHN CORABI IS CURED & He's a complete jinx
@@travismiles5885 And always knew lil’Nikki was the ticket cause that boy could write a fookin rockin tune… or like twenty of them. Soundtrack to my youth! ✌️❤️🤘
I have ran into him a few times. Like Brian Johnson and the late great Jeff LeBarr, Corabi is sooooo down to earth, salt of the earth , great zero ego guy. 👍
They should have named the band something else with Corabi. It would have solved all the issues. Then they could use different musicians and push themselves creatively without the expectation of still being Motley Crue.
New listener subscriber here....Who hell is the host / interviewer? Why doesn't he list his name anywhere on any of his sites so that people who are new and enjoy his content can try and find it in other places? He talks about his numerous print interviews. How am I going to find them if I don't know his name?
Best album the band made. It was heavy and had some very interesting moments lyrically. Plus, for the first time they had a great vocalist that is consistent live, unlike that awful natal whine that Vince produces. Corabi really inspired the guys to push themselves to produce something of real value.
Not even close and in reference to Nikki being cool with him af the beginning leaves one to know it turned south real quick, there s a conspicuous reason for that.
@@peacethroughstrength172 Yes, there was indeed a conspicuous reason, and that reason was- low ticket sales- no one was coming to their shows and they were playing much smaller venues.
@@rtrooperw8115 makes sense considering none of it was written by Motley Crue! That album is a Sixx AM creation, all written by DJ Ashba and the singer.
Hey!! I know this man personally. John and I go back to 1998 when I was in middle school. I went to school with his son. He never tells the same story. He, His son and Ex-wife all hang together all the time because he makes ZERO DOLLARS and NEVER HAS A PLACE TO STAY. I also know Nikki too!! Nikki and the guys in that band never talk about him and they DO NOT like him. When he spent the time with Motley Crue... The record label told the band to fire him and bring the singer back because the album he did sounded like it was made by a different band altogether because he was NOT the man.
At least maybe they liked him back in 94-97. I wonder what role Bob Rock or Doc had in all of this because they seemed to tolerate John for a while if they could no longer stand Vince to begin with. It was Dr Feelgood where they supposedly sobered up to make that record a great success. And its also when Mars started playing less and less on the albums which means a hired pro would play his parts on the album recordings. I see it as a break and the Corabi era was a chance at some break. Look what theyre doing with John5 now. MC should have put up with Neil all the way no matter what because its alot like a marriage. Its either that or duping someone theyre going to dump later and thats what happened with John C. A persons job and time is to be taken seriously. Even though its ethically wrong, I would have expected MC to profit in money and finished material by using John C the way Sharon and Ozzy have done in past with musicians for old albums. Or MC could have learned from Corabi what next step to take in their careers and stop sounding too much like a party band or glam outfit. But they never ran with either of these ideas. They almost just picked up where they left off with Vince. What a disaster theyve become because theyve never seemed to have put the pieces back together ever since.
He may have been born in Philly, but does anyone know if he grew up there, cause I don't hear it in his accent and I live about 15 minutes outside of Philadelphia.. Just not catching the east coast accent!?..
For a guy who claims to be done with motley and has nothing more to say about them, corabi sure has a lot to say about them... motley was this guy's career highlight and he won't let people forget that lol
Well, I'm sure if any of us had been a member of a band as big and notorious as Motley, we wouldn't shy away from talking about those times with the band, especially when asked in interviews.. Regardless, in all honesty while I do like hearing tales from Corabi's time in the band, ironically I'm not really a fan of the album they did, but as it's a part of the legacy of the Crue I tune in.. I also can't help but kinda feel for the guy as in my opinion he got screwed by the band!..
@@fullinbloom yea Corabi gets a bad rap,i don't know why,he was put in a IMPOSSIBLE situation...Did a great job of what was asked..and got the shaft when they wanted Vince back. I think John will live his life stuck in this time bubble cuz no one gives him a chance to succeed elsewhere. John is a talented guy.
"I watch or listen to Motley anymore." So what you're saying, is that you're all grown up now also, like the rest of us? It's been over 40 years man. Most people have evolved and moved on also.
Vince used to be among the top rock/metal front men of all times especially back in glorious kickass insane crazy cool 1980s. Truly truly was (no small feat). However, from 1990s onwards his elite position started deteriorating till present day along with many many other fine superb Rock/metal front men, both in USA & Europe & elsewhere,partly due to aging, drugs/lifestyle, genetics, other health reasons & more. Miss Vince of the 1980s, esp 1981-1984. One of a kind in more ways than one. Cheers!
@@fredcollins8919 Vince was never good ! He was a great choice for Motley Crue in the 80s but he is and was a terrible singer , great Frontman and the image and looks are what carried him ( and the band ) through the years. I mean what's Motley known for ? There songs or there Story ? The Dirt doesn't go into songs it goes into the drama and legend of the band. If we are being really honest, they have like 10 songs that have carried them for 40 years. Guns N Roses had both the image and the Songs that's why the music has been the forefront of there legacy. Not that Motley shouldn't have there place in Rock history but it's less about music and more about story.
Me and Tommy had a lot in common. Yeah a couple of meth heads. I know he was the center of it all. He has so much to say now. Without Vince it was not Motley. I know this guy thought he was going to come out with some songs and take Vince's place and it didn't work out like that. This guy thinks he is the center of the universe.
@@andysalter7192 yeah he was probably embarrassing when he had his balls resting on your old lady's face. 94 was a good album. Obviously hardcore crew fans did not think it was the best nor do I. Opinions are like assholes. The bottom line is this guy could not keep the crowd and Vince could. He is obviously still doing it. I know that burns your ass kind of like the guy that left you last night. It's just a fact. Look at album sales. By the way part of what made that album so great was Mick. Not the vocals. It was something new and it lasted for a nanosecond. The Too Fast for Love album is still selling. Remain butthurt or accept it
Lmfao! Yeah, John called up Nikki & Tommy & said, “FIRE VINCE & HIRE ME! I’M THE NEW LEAD SINGER OF MC NOW!” So they did. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡 You’re pissed at the wrong guy.
John is from my Family circle..... I can assure you.... He's NEVER been a Meth head as you've so blindly stated here.... Careful with your words. Beers, Whiskey and Weed..... Absolutely..... what musician hasn't.....
I love John and i love Vince both different styles, both awesome.

This was great, thanks!
Wish/Hope you are getting new interviews. Lots of Hard Rock possibilities.
*IM CATER* *CATER*
Absolutely Corabi's influence on Motley Crue was unquestionable...Best album in the catalogue IMHO...
Mick always seamed like the "based" one… no pun intended, the elder statesman if you will
✌️❤️🤘
A little older, wiser and more grounded and a different personality type than Nikki, Vince and Tommy.. More of an introvert if you will..
Mick raised those three boys all on his own and did the best he could with what he had.

He's a real cool dude but I'm still glad Vince came back
The self titled motley album is underrated I wish this line up stuck together with John
Me to, John and them would have rocked it. Much better singer than Vince ever will be
Really interesting as a Crue fan
No one interest about him other than his time in Motley, Sure, it was the highlight of his career ironically, i love the scream 1st album.
I bought *The Scream* album on cassette tape when it first came out.
It's one of those albums that stood the test of time.
I've become good friends with Corabi over the last 25 yrs, great guy
IMO the 94 crue lp he was on was their best work
I have ran into him a few times. Like Brian Johnson and the late great Jeff LeBarr, Corabi is sooooo down to earth, salt of the earth , great zero ego guy. 👍
We will agree to disagree. The Ist Motley Album, Dr. Feelgood and Girls Girls Girls IMHO.
Gold standard interview..
A three minute interview with Corabi talking about Motley for the 10,000th time is the gold standard?
@@MrOctober44 Did you read The Whole interview Ms.Pac man ?
Really? who's the interviewer / host? Like what's his name?
Lol great shit!!!! Love it ...I can see Tommy like that and the other 2 as well... hate VN always did, but MC as a band rules ...blue collar scholars
They should have named the band something else with Corabi. It would have solved all the issues. Then they could use different musicians and push themselves creatively without the expectation of still being Motley Crue.
I agree... I loved what they did with Corabi ...but it wasn't "Motley Crue" ..
I agree but the record company did not want to
Let’s see what Van Hagar has to say on the matter……..oh, wait. They decided to keep selling records, that’s right.
John you rule brother! Scream and motley !!!

At the tour bus is a rememberable experience not the concert. When it comes to Motley Crue.

Now it's asking other dudes to pull out their weiners and show him at their concert.
John I wish the guys in motley would get rid of Vince, and get you back in the band.
He's a lot more talented than that whiney voiced Vince.
sounds like john was two faced and playing both sides
First
Vince is not good….sorry but Vince is not a good front man anymore…john is in great shape n smart…I don’t watch n listen to motley anymore…

So what you're saying, is that you're all grown up now also, like the rest of us?
It's been over 40 years man.

Not sure what John being smart matters. If there was any money in having John then he'd be be in the band. There's a lot more money with Vince.
