The story behind this one wild. As others have said, bass player Nikki Sixx overdosed on heroin at a party and literally died. In the ambulance the paramedics gave him two shots of Epinephrine (adrenaline) straight into his heart with the first being standard procedure and the second because why the hell not? They couldn't make him any more dead than he already was. Well, that second shot worked and literally kickstarted his heart. He spent that night in the hospital, woke up in the morning, checked himself out against doctor recommendations, went home, cooked up the largest shot of heroin he'd ever done (larger than the one that literally killed him just hours earlier), then shot it up and passed out. After that it was clear that he needed help, but Motley Crue was the biggest party band in the 80's and that's saying something. It was clear that he wouldn't be able to get clean and stay in Motley while they were living that lifestyle so they all went and got clean together, although their manager cancelling their up coming European tour because he was sure "some of them would come back in body bags" also helped push them into that decision. After that some of them got into motorsports and learned to be racecar drivers as a way to get a somewhat less dangerous high, as referenced by "high on speed" from the song. In fact, they helped MTV organize a televised celebrity road race back in the early 90's that Vince won and Vince also went on to briefly and controversially race Indy cars (controversial because Vince literally killed somebody while drunk driving years earlier). As for other Motley songs, everybody is going to recommend the radio hits like Girls Girls Girls, but those are mostly party songs and some of their best work is found in the songs that weren't radio hits. Public Enemy #1, Starry Eyes, On With the Show, Danger, All in the Name of, and You're All I Need are some of their most artistic work and with the last two both have wild stories as well.
1:02 That is Sam Kinison driving the car. You really need to check out "Wild Thing" music video by him and the boys. (Sam was a comedian, raunchy style) The video has all the rock stars in it (Slash, Billy Idol, Steven Tyler from Aerosmith, and so many more).
MC's '82's "Shout at the Devil" & '86's "Wild Side" are hella cool badass jams with deep dark lyrics that weren't equaled until Slayer's Death Metal! & so The Crue weren't just Glam: they really rocked!
@@lucaswilson1701 Iam pretty sure he means the heavy riffs , and lyrics such as Shout at the Devil . Not the physical image of the band . They always get thrown in with Poison and those bands . It's not really true . Compare a song like unskinny bop to Knock em dead . One is pop the other heavy rock . Even Tom Araya is on video in the early 80's singing to a song from Shout at the Devil .
The Crue had tons of hits and they were by far the most successful hair band and then became even more metal. Notoriously wild partiers. I worked security for concerts back then and was able to go back to hotel room and watch the craziness. Check out studio version of Sick Love Song. A little less known but they usually always played in concert. Awesome riff.
From many rock friends Ive spoken to; in the mid to late 80's you could go to 3 different bars within a couple miles (in LA) and listen to the Crue, GNR, and Metallica. Get fucked up with them and party til morning. It was fucking crazy. Sadly, the scene in LA isnt anything like this anymore as far as I know. Be nice to have a time machine.
Ah, Millie. This song, pure energy and life. That bass player, Nikki, almost died for real. Those drum fills at the end, Tommy Lee, bravo! And this look of yours, Millie, I love it. Gorgeous 👍🏽
Oh Millie....the 80s were freakin awesome regards to music! We had the 70s classic rock then the metal & hard rock of the 80s!!🔥🤘😎🔥 So many memories cruisin the strip on the weekends just rockin out!!
First song of the night off the juke box starting my bar shift at Jousters (OSU campus bar-1989) played 3 times in succession!!! No "ands, ifs, or BUTTS!
Hey Millie, great 80s tribute but my eyes start spinning from looking back and forth from the videos and your pretty face. Your reactions are so cute and real. 😘
I was a 16 year old high school junior when this came out I drove a 71 Firebird and it with the energy of this song it was not a good idea for me to be driving and listening to this song at the same time!
I was 17 when I got my first speeding ticket to this song! 97 in a 55 zone. If you ever find that time machine I would be happy to come with you and show you around. It was without a doubt the absolutely, unquestionably the best time to be Young!! But seriously, I really, really want to come with you! Please…..
Check out a video called The Rise And Rise Of Motley Crue. Its a documentary style video, and they talk to various family and friends of the band members and kind of tell how they got in the band and eventually more famous than anyone imagined. And of course all the debauchery that happened along the way. Except guitarist Mick Mars. He was considerably older than the other 3, and while Nikki, Vince and Tommy were partying in Hollywood, Mick was at home with his wife and kids. Motley Crue was strictly a business for Mick Mars.
Oh Millie, u missed Motley Crue doing a UK stadium tour in 2023 w/ Def Leppard (it was not sold out)... Motley Crue's 1989 album 'Dr. Feelgood' is one of the best rock records EVER 🤘🤘 'Kickstart my heart' was about Nikki Sixx (bass) of Motley dying from a he+++n OD back in 1987 (Sixx had no heartbeat when medics arrived) and paramedics somehow revived him w/ adrenalin shots to his heart. Other songs from the record to check out - 'Dr. Feelgood' ... "Don't do away mad (Just go away)" ... "Same ol' situation"...
Actually this song is about when Nikki Sixx died from a drug overdose and MTV was already announcing his death while he was still in the ambulance. The medics were finally able to revive him with a shot of adrenaline to the heart.
This is my second favorite song called "Kickstart My Heart" You should check out Alannah Myles - Kickstart My Heart It's a different song btw not a cover
Millie, Here are some good 80s songs to review: Fantasy by Aldo Nova I Ran by A Flock of Seagulls On the Loose by Saga Twilight Zone by Golden Earring Rock the Casbah by the Clash Wait by White Lion Lunatic Fringe by Red Rider Stone Cold by Rainbow
TRAVEL BACK IN TIME TO THE 1980'S. YOU WOULD HAVE FIT IN VERY WELL WITH YOUR ATTITUDE AND CLOTHING. THE 1980'S WAS ABOUT COOL CLOTHING, MUSIC, CONCERTS, ATTITUDE, FUN AND HOT IN SHAPE BODIES. SO BY YOUR LOOK YOU WOULD HAVE FIT IN PERFECTLY.
You really NEED to wear HEADPHONES!!! when you listen to the "earlier Rock" the recorded Analog,, tracks mixed and the sound is VERY precise ,, so much so that you can actually pick out each instrument as the songs play.. a much better sound. Look up the
This was part of Glam Metal from 80s, bands like Motley Crue, Poison, Def Lepard and so on, but in my opinion I prefer heavy metal like Megadeth, Metallica, Iron Maiden, but Glam is ok when you're just having fun with friends and have just relax conversation, drinkin micheladas (mexico).
The song is about adrenaline, specifically the adrenaline that got put into Nikki Sixx's heart to restart it after a drug overdose.
Very succinct song summary. Well done.
"Not on my watch"
Heard Tommy Lee said that wasn't true. They spiced up some things in the movie. Lied.
This was their first entirely sober album and in my opinion, the best album they ever produced.
Yeah not for me

This is my nr 1 motivation song, I always get full of life when I hear this. Loved your reaction!

kickstart my heart is the most requested song by skydivers before their first jump

Here are some more energetic songs from Mötley Crüe
"Wild Side"
"Same Ol' Situation"
"Girls Girls Girls"
"Dr Feelgood"
Check out "Wild Side". Video created from live concert in 80's.
It's my favorite Motley Crue song. By that same token, I wish it didn't exist because it came into existence when Nikki Sixx nearly died.
Off Dr Feel-good album all of it was fire yes beautiful I saw them during that tour excellent
Probably my favorite Crue song. Love the energy.

Favourite song to drive fast.
I was a 16 year old high school junior when this came out I drove a 71 Firebird and it with the energy of this song it was not a good idea for me to be driving and listening to this song at the same time!

I used to get a sore neck often back in my head banging days 😅
Millie, perhaps you would enjoy Motley Crue - Wild Side, where you can see Tommy Lee play the drums upside down while he is spinning in his drum cage.
If this song doesn't get your heart racing you are a corpse lol😅
I love your eighties look!

Dr. Feelgood by Motley Crue
Hello there hey there hey
WILD SIDE LIVE
Wild Side by Motley -
This was part of Glam Metal from 80s, bands like Motley Crue, Poison, Def Lepard and so on, but in my opinion I prefer heavy metal like Megadeth, Metallica, Iron Maiden, but Glam is ok when you're just having fun with friends and have just relax conversation, drinkin micheladas (mexico).
They moved away from the Glam image after theater of pain . In fairness they were much heavier than bands like Poison and Def Leopard .
90s
Try "Hot For Teacher" by Van Halen
React to Wild side video and Primal Scream Of Motley Crue
try cinderella or dokken or ratt
Give a try to David Lee Roth - Yankee Rose
