It's the same singer, Vince Neil, as your other Crue reactions. This is from their first album, Too Fast For Love. It was their first video. They were not nearly as polished and produced as their next album. Personally for me, this is their best album. Every song is great. I would love to see you react to more Crue from this album.
I do not know if the other 50 plus year old's (I am 51) feel this way, but I have always felt lucky to have been a teen in the 80's and to have experienced all the music that came with it. The MTV thing was still really new and fresh. They brought the bands in to your living rooms/bedrooms as where radio only brought the sound. We could now not only hear the bands but see them as well and for me it made me feel better connected to the bands. Especially Motley Crue and the other metal bands of the early 80's. Maybe I don't understand todays music, but I feel the kids today don't get that connection like I did when I was a teen. I will say this, I see you young people who are doing these great reactions to the music I grew up on starting to connect to the bands like I did and that is so awesome. Thank You guys for the reactions and please keep them coming. 🤘🤘
I'm 55 I've Loved Motley Crue since their first album seen them live a couple times, the first few albums were the best though, then it was Guns n' roses definitely the '90s Game Changer in rock and roll and heavy metal. :-) :-) long live rock and roll
Not only is Nikki Sixx killing it on the bass, he is Motley Crue's primary songwriter and the he's the one you see in the video who lit his legs on fire just to make that incredible visual.... that is dedication!
@@rickjensen1636 Nikki is pretty well self taught but many of us learned a little from Rudy. What many people don't realize is Blackie helped Nikki and Crüe by giving them a handful of his pre-WASP songs free of Royalties. Nikki was part of some of Blackie's bands "London" and "Sister". Blackie gave Nikki the boot from the band when it was clear Nikki had an addiction, but because he always liked Nikki, he gave Nikki a copy of their demo's, some songs written, taught him the flaming boots stunt and sent Nikki on his way.
This was my introduction to Motley Crue.......This was their debut album, I think they did it themselves, thus the "different" sound......it's very raw, without all the professional polish of most albums. The whole album is a banger.
Nikki Sixx is an excellent bass player and as previously noted, the band’s primary songwriter and point of contact with the media. Without him there is no Motley Crue.
I actually think that without Mick and Nikki there’s no Mötley Crüe; Mick’s guitar riffs and solos are so unique, Mötley wouldn’t be Mötley without it… in addition to Nikki’s great songwriting… John Corabi in the 1990’s did a good job “subbing” for Vince, but once you read the name “Mötley Crüe “ on the album cover, you immediately changed your mind; this band could be anything with Vince or Corabi, but it would never be Mötley Crüe without Mick and Nikki
Yeah but lately Nikki really dropped the ball on his bass playing. Using fake ass play-back on live shows!!! Meanwhile John 5 plays every riff just about the way Mick wote and recorded them. John 5 is keeping this band together on tour.
Nikki was never a great bass player . He failed an audition for Quiet Riot because he didn't know what he was doing Everyone that knew him in the early 80's all says the same thing . Mick Mars is the reason the riffs have the rhythm they do . Nikki couldn't do anything without him . He wrote the lyrics to his credit . And took credit for the full songs
This is the song that got me hooked on Motley Crue all those wonderful years ago. Loved them since . Glad you finally did this song. Definitely gets a person pumped up.
This is from the first album, which was not much more than a demo they ran with. The stripped-down production really allows Neil's vocals to shine. This, like many bands first albums, is my favorite for its raw, pure passion and it is when a band has the most it still has to say. Sometimes a band becomes "professional" and has so much polish that the lyrics get overlooked for the smoothest rhyme.
*Saw them in 1983....this was the first of their songs I heard (it was released as a single). So yeah...the difference may be; this is the earliest of their released recorded songs. It was on their first album, Too Fast For Love, so I bought the album. My last Pit Bull's name was Motley. They had a different singer in the 90's. But this is, the original, Vince Neil singing. Nikki Sixx is on bass. Mick Mars on guitar...and you likely know Tommy Lee is drummin'.*
Fun fact: The first time they came to Minnesota I saw them at my hometown Met Center on the Shout At The Devil/Bark At The Moon tour with Ozzy. They were jumping off 6' speakers and going insane while Ozzy just sort of paced the stage (he hasn't changed in 40+ years.) Since he sounded like a record, we just walked around trying to score a bag. Turns out that halfway through the tour Ozzy found a different opening band to avoid being upstaged every night.
So I wonder where the turning point was for Ozzy and Crue because we saw the Shout at the Devil tour open for Ozzy with Brad Gillis / Speak of the devil show in Portland. Because Randy just died I think. IDK , wow, so long ago 🤔🤔 So Crue must have opened for Ozzy quite a while
@@bobbi1972 So many good shows. I paid $15 for Motley Crue Ozzy and $12 to see my first show at 15, The Police right before they broke up. Going to Kennedy, I graduated there in '86.
As others have said, this was from their first album. If I remember correctly, they produced that album themselves because they couldn't get a record deal. That's why the production values are lower, which is probably the difference in sound that you noticed. Motley Crue only had a different lead singer for one album. Sales dropped off huge, so they got back with Vince and he's been their lead singer ever since. I think the only music video with the other singer is "Hooligan's Holiday" and it is actually a really good song. Worth checking out if you want to see the difference. You know when you're watching the other singer though. He got black hair and a nose ring. Definitely looks nothing like Vince. You mentioned the bass player Nikki Sixx. You may want to check out his other band SixxAM. I think you'd both love their first single "Life is Beautiful."
The lead vocalist is Vince. With the exception of John Corabi on the one album in the early 90's, it's been Vince. The bassist is Nikki Sixx. The antics he and Tommy Lee (drummer) pulled are stuff of legend. Also, Nikki died twice from heroine overdoses. If you read the book "The Dirt", you'll understand. If you watch the Netflix movie "The Dirt", you'll get a watered down, but still effective idea. "Live Wire" is off their first album in '83. It was raw and was actually released under their own label until Elektra Records scooped them up. Their next album "Shout At The Devil" had a better sound mainly because they had more money for production. Later edit: Correction. It's '81... not '83.
Love it when you react to some Crue! Wild Side, Too Young To Fall In Love, Primal Scream, Same Ol Situation and Don’t Go Away Mad (Just Go Away) are all great songs you should check out.
Nikki Sixx is the bassist. The song Kickstart My Heart is about him overdosing on heroin and almost dying. In 2007 he formed the band Sixx A.M. and released their first album The Heroin Diaries Soundtrack. The concept album serves as the companion soundtrack to Sixx's autobiography, The Heroin Diaries: A Year in the Life of a Shattered Rock Star and is about Sixx's severe heroin addiction in 1987. The songs Life is Beautiful, and Accidents Can Happen are two really good songs worth checking out!
Ahh, those memories... 1984, my first big concert! Råsunda stadium, Stockholm, Sweden. Mötley Crue, Van Halen and AC/DC... "Monsters of rock"! Came in to the arena to see Tommy Lee´s drums, goosebumps. The concerts were like the best breakfast, lunch and dinner - with AC/DC´s cannons finished the show... Magic!!! Thanks guys for this one, and for always being the best!
Vince Neil (lead singer) Tommy Lee (drums) Mick Mars ( lead guitar) Nicky Six ( bass), this video was when they were just starting out and was aired on MTV.
He's not underappreciated, he has always received the utmost respect not only from fans but also from fellow musicians. The legendary drum pioneer Carmine Appice holds Lee as one of his favorites, to name just one example.
Motley Crue; Lead singer; Vince Neal Bass-Mick Mars Guitar-Nikki Six Drums-Tommy Lee What you think might be different about this video is, this was a very early song in their career. They became a bit more "radio friendly" as they progressed.
“No sappy songs on Sunday.” That’s funny! 😂 The first two Crue albums are still my favorite. So raw, so punk. The next album, “Shout at the Devil”, was a bit more refined. A bit. Have y’all done the song “Shout at the Devil”? Really need to. When you do, I highly suggest doing it with the first track, “In The Beginning.” It really sets the scene.
Of All The Motley Crue (no umlauts) Songs, THIS is probably THE SAPPIEST!! Kidding Guys, and Amber, loved the way you reminded J!! God Bless You Guys and The Family in the Week coming up! Let us know when Luca starts cheering on the Bengals!
You guys should react to more Mötley Crüe… "Looks That Kill", "Helter Skelter", "Too Young to Fall in Love", "Knock 'Em Dead, Kid", "Smokin' in the Boys Room", "Wild Side", "Without You", "Same Ol' Situation (S.O.S.)", "Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)" 🎸🤘
First song I ever heard from them! Again I uhm...acquired this cassette from my year younger brother😄 Whole album kicked ass...I like the unpolished version of MC better than what they evolved into. You usually only get one or two of the raw albums before they fall into the music business stuff.
Just a much younger Vince… I saw them in 1986 great show!!! The drummer Tommy Lee did a freaking awesome drum solo on a hydraulic drum set that he was strapped into and that spun left,right and upside down..
Yes sir! I love me some motley crue. They was my jam bitd, along with def leppard, whitesnake, ratt, quiet riot, poison, judas priest and iron maiden. 🤟
Vince Neil is the singer you're watching. He's just much younger in this video and he's singing more through his nose. They had to put on a show not only in concert but their videos because they were competing for spots on MTV.
Nikki Sixx is the Bass Player, he is ALSO the Leader/Founder of Motley Crue as well as the Primary songwriter and the developer of their look. Nikki Sixx is the genius behind Motley Crue
Rob & Amber, thank you for your channel. I have checked out a handful of other channels but I keep coming back to you two, irregardless. I love your pure love and excitement when you hear new songs. What i do feel sad about for your generation, which is my son & daughters generation, is that you will probably never experience in person (at a live concert) is, what the 80's and 90's bands have brought. Live music. No studio created stuff on electric equipment. When you heard Steve Perry, you were absolutely correct! LIVE voice!!!! I hope you both have done further research into the metal/ rock bands that you have come to love. So many of the original founding members are gone. Yet they still carry on, in honor of their beloved brothers, nephews, uncles, etc. I listen to the music my adult kids have grown up with and as well as my grandchildren. So much is studio creation. Finding an artist that can acapella in this time, is like trying to find a unicorn or Bigfoot. Please continue your channel on TH-cam because I rather find it refreshing instead of watching anything on Cable TV. Respectfully written, a 54 year old 80's teen that had the good fortune to come across your channel. All the best and God Bless, This Indigenous Woman 💙
I love this band. You should listen to Dr. Feelgood, Home Sweet Home, To Young to Fall in Love and Shout at the Devil. That is Vince Neil vocals, Mick Mars Bass, Nikki Six guitar and Tommy Lee drums
This was the original lead singer named Vince Neal, the bass was niki six, the guitar was mick mars, and the drummer was tommy lee. They only had one different lead singer for 1 album but he was not very well accepted by the fans so Vince came back
Finally some more Mötley!! Thanks for this!! You should do it more often and please check out Too Fast For Love from the same album as Live Wire, and then Home Sweet Home, Wild Side, You're All I Need, Same Ol' Situation, and of course Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away).
when you have a good skill, it is normal that you can go global and your name is recommended to so many people and from what i've heard about Mr. Richard Hart his strategies must be really good .
they were just young here...first album. one thing people dont understand with them is they reinvent themselves on every album. every album has a different theme.
Awesome as always guys!! Cool story…. My dad was in Vegas at the Mirage playing blackjack. He told me he was playing at a table with a guy with a lot of tattoos, and he had a really good looking girlfriend. Anyway, it was just the three of them playing blackjack for about 4 hours, and my dad kept commenting on how nice they were. It wasn’t until they left that the dealer told him that he’d been sitting next to Tommy Lee and Heather Locklear! I was so pumped to hear that.
Hey Jay and Amber, the only time when Mötley Crüe had a different vocalist was when they released the album that features the song "Hooligans Holiday", which had John Corabi on lead vocals During that time Vince Neil released a solo album which featured the song "You're Invited (But Your Friend Can't Come)" which also appears on the soundtrack of "Encino Man" starring Pauley Shore and Brendan Frasier Both of these albums didn't sell well and so Mötley Crüe fired Corabi and brought back Vince
I am 55 and been listening to Crue, Alice C, Rush, Steve Miller Band, etc way back years ago as a kid. To quote Mick Jagger "what a drag it is getting old".
Nikki Sixx is the bass player, song writer, and architect of the band (vision, appeal, look, etc). I remember looking at the record sleeve when it came out and was mesmerized by their hair & outfits 🤘💢
This was the worlds introduction to Motley Crue and what an introduction it was! Too Fast for Love, in my opinion, is one of the greatest debut albums ever dropped by a band! Damn I miss the 80's it was a blast! A few songs that you need to listen to would be: Primal Scream, Saints of Los Angeles, White Trash Circus, & Too Young to Fall in Love!
Yep I saw crue with my future wife in Phoenix. AZ almost 20 years ago (has it been that long), Vince still had his voice and they were insane. Fun time.
The difference you're hearing is the raw recording quality. Since this was their first studio album there wasn't much budget for the more polished recordings they made in later years. Because of the rawness of it Too Fast For Love is one of my all time favorite albums.
Motley Crue have sold well over 100 Million albums worldwide! This song "Live Wire" was off their first album called "Too Fast For Love" which came out in 1981. It was re-released in 1982 by Elektra Records.
@@surf101- I did!!! He didn’t get bad until the last 2 songs. I really didn’t care one way or the other. I went knowing how bad he is live. I’m dying and wanted to see them. Tickets were gifted to me.
I'm hearing that crue, def leppard, poison and Joan Jett are bringing that tour over to the uk next year. I hope that's the case because I'd love to see them all together.
Motley Crue was the first band I ever saw live in concert. 1989 in Hawaii, I was 21 and living the best years of my life! It was the Dr. Feelgood tour and they absolutely rocked!
The base player is Nikki Sixx, the Man is Motley Crue. He started the band, writes most of the songs, the leader of the group. All four members are on the centre stage not just the lead singer. Great music considering they do not have that fourth member usually on rytham guitar. Great trio (Vine holds a guitar in same ol situation lol it's more of a prop).
Dude, if they had a rhythm guitarist, it would be FIVE members; drummers do count, in fact, if it wasn’t for Tommy Lee, Mötley Crüe would never be the same… take Guns n Roses for instance, they’re made of five with a rhythm guitarist… now take Rolling Stones, they’re made of four without a rhythm guitarist, only Keith Richards… just saying
Wife here..., Been a huge Motley Crue fan since my teenage years..You can really hear their "punk rock" influence in these earlier songs..Saw them in Atlanta GA a couple months ago..It was AWESOME..however.., I broke my pinky toe
The bass player is mick marrs vince neil is the lead singer he has been with them since the start. They are on tour as we speak. Live wire is from their first album.
These guys where 20/21 here. This is their first album that they recorded and released themselves before being signed to a major label. Nikki Sixx, the bass player who has his legs on fire, he used to do that at the shows they played on LA's Sunset Strip like the Whiskey go go. The singer would squirt rubbing alcohol on his boots and throw a match on them. Poor man's pyrotechnics. This same year they got their first big break, they toured as opening act for Kiss for about six weeks if I remember correctly. Their next tour they opened for Ozzy in 1983/84, The craziness from that tour is legendary.
Crue in their most LA raw form. I was in Jr High in a small Texas town and this album opened my eyes to 80's rock and it was the beginning of Hair Metal for me. Some other bands may have actually started before but this album is when I took notice.
Motley Crue were a product of the L.A. music scene that had produced Van Halen in the 70's... The Sunset Strip was where bands came to play and build a fanbase, hoping to get into the music business. Ratt came there from San Diego... Poison arrived from Pennsylvania... Axl Rose and Izzy Stradlin came from Indiana... They all wanted to be a part of the scene. Bob Deal had been a guitarist in the scene since the 70's, and had never got a break; he joined Motley Crue as guitarist Mick Mars and that was when his fame began... Frank Ferrano came to L.A. as Nikki Sixx and started playing bass for various bands... one band he joined was London (which Slash of GNR had also played in), a band that failed to get signed. Around 1980, he saw another band called Suite 16 and met drummer Tommy Lee... he decided to form a band w/ him... They saw an ad in a newspaper for a guitarist, and that was guitarist Mick Mars introduction to the band (Mars later named the band 'Motley Crew', but they thought it was cooler to spell it Motley Crue)... Singer Vince Neil had gone to high school w/ Tommy Lee, and was in a cover band; Lee recommended Neil for Motley Crue, despite not being a great vocalist, but he had the stage presence and charisma to draw throngs of adoring women to see him perform. This was Motley Crue's first album 'Too fast for love' in 1981, recorded independently and released to fanfare... Motley were showmen on stage, wearing heels, spandex and faminine makeup, w/ big hair - Nikki Sixx would light himself on fire... Vince Neil would destroy mannequins w/ a chainsaw... that was on display in this video In the first year, they were selling out L.A.'s biggest clubs. In 1982, they were signed by manager Doc McGhee, who got them a record deal w/ Elektra Records. 'Too fast for love' was remixed and released... this music video was made to promote Motley on the new MTV channel, and they even opened for Kiss on a rather dismal tour... It wasn't until 1983 when US Festival was held in California, Van Halen was headlining... Quiet Riot was on the bill and they killed their set, setting themselves up to get a #1 record 'Metal health' on the US charts... Motley Crue played that day, but were apparently awful, but won over the crowd somehow... their 2nd album 'Shout at the devil' went gold, then platinum... eventually selling 4x platinum (4 million copies) in the US ('Too fast for love' eventually went platinum). With Van Halen riding high in 1983, Quiet Riot w/ a #1 album and Motley Crue taking off... Suddenly, record label who ignored the L.A. scene for decades, started signing a plethora of bands that had been working the scene for years... Dokken got signed to Elektra... W.A.S.P. signed w/ Capitol Records... Chrysalis signed the band Armored Saint... Great White signed w/ EMI, as did the Red Hot Chili Peppers... Ratt eventually signed w/ Atlantic Records. That was the start of the 80's glam rock domination of the rock scene.
Who day nation!lm from Ohio! Way to represent! I have one for you ! Please play this! No one else will. Robin Trower. Bridge of sighs .great album and great blues!!!
For the Elvis movie coming out on DVD, you need to react to Elvis's 68 comeback special!! The Black Suite Elvis was the GOAT of live performances!! I would suggest One night with you, or Trying to get to you, or, Love me!! You have NEVER EVER seen Elvis like this!!

Best album, by far!
With "Theater of Pain" they became a "hair band".
The raw sound made it great like a polished garage band playing in a club. 🤪 Plus it was recorded on tape. ❤️
My favorite Crüe album as well 🎸 🎶
Totally agree, just seen them in Houston they still got it!

He learned that from Blackie Lawless of WASP.
Yes and let’s not forget his roll in the creation of one of their best songs- Kickstart My Heart. That what some scary stuff glad we got Nikki back.
You could say that he was rocking the hot pants.

Absolute fucking legends
Especially this old School MC shit!!!
Mick mars is the bass
That's because it's from the early days and first album. They were so raw in the beginning. The bass player is Nikki six. He's bad ass.
This album is one of my all time favorites. It's just raw and not over produced
This is the main and original singer. You haven't heard anyone else sing. He's just very young here on the debut.
Nikki Sixx 🤟🏽🤟🏽 Mötley Crüe is such a huge iconic Rock N’ Roll band!! Nikki is definitely the leader of the pack!! 💯
This was from their very low budget debut album. It was always my favourite.
To me its a tie with Shout. Real Fucking Music.
same

To the contrary I think Nikki Sixx is a great song writer but probably one of the worst bass players ever lol
This is their first appearance to the public. This is how they looked, acted and sounded. Then creativity evolutionized themselves into history.
I'm not a huge Mötley Crüe fan, but I really like this album. It has a raw sound, almost more punk than metal, plus cowbell!
Haha, I affectionately refer to this album as the cowbell album, Tommy really liked that cowbell during this period! 🤣
Agreed!
More cowbell!
More Punk love it best album
I agree not a big fan but this Album is a good one.
This is much more garage band sound Mötley Crüe than there more recent albums. it’s my favorite motley Crue sound.
One of their best🔥
This album is their best for me. So many memories from grade school into high school back in the 80s!
Saw Motley Crue 5 times live all Original Members 🤘💀💀💀🤘
Nikki Sixx is the bass player/main song writer! Too Fast For Love is a MUST HEAR!

Love it when you react to some Crue! Wild Side, Too Young To Fall In Love, Primal Scream, Same Ol Situation and Don’t Go Away Mad (Just Go Away) are all great songs you should check out.
Yes!! Don't Go Away Mad. Great choice.
You can never go wrong with Motley Crue. I've been a fan of theirs since their first album which this song is from.
Nikki Sixx is the bassist. The song Kickstart My Heart is about him overdosing on heroin and almost dying. In 2007 he formed the band Sixx A.M. and released their first album The Heroin Diaries Soundtrack. The concept album serves as the companion soundtrack to Sixx's autobiography, The Heroin Diaries: A Year in the Life of a Shattered Rock Star and is about Sixx's severe heroin addiction in 1987. The songs Life is Beautiful, and Accidents Can Happen are two really good songs worth checking out!
Feels different because it's an older song. This is their debut single from 1981.
That is Vince Neil on vocals. Bassist is Nikki Sixx.
Ahh, those memories... 1984, my first big concert! Råsunda stadium, Stockholm, Sweden. Mötley Crue, Van Halen and AC/DC... "Monsters of rock"! Came in to the arena to see Tommy Lee´s drums, goosebumps. The concerts were like the best breakfast, lunch and dinner - with AC/DC´s cannons finished the show... Magic!!!
Thanks guys for this one, and for always being the best!
MC first two albums are their best and hardest.
Vince Neil (lead singer) Tommy Lee (drums) Mick Mars ( lead guitar) Nicky Six ( bass), this video was when they were just starting out and was aired on MTV.
Tommy Lee is the most under-appreciated drummer in rock. He always hits them hard, always plays with style, and always had thunderous tone.
@@Spo-Dee-O-Dee I see what you did there... well done.
"Tommy Lee is the most under-appreciated drummer in rock" - WTF?
Huh?! I remember back in the day, everybody loved him.
He's not underappreciated, he has always received the utmost respect not only from fans but also from fellow musicians. The legendary drum pioneer Carmine Appice holds Lee as one of his favorites, to name just one example.
If anything, he's OVERrated.
Motley Crue;
Lead singer; Vince Neal
Bass-Mick Mars
Guitar-Nikki Six
Drums-Tommy Lee
What you think might be different about this video is, this was a very early song in their career. They became a bit more "radio friendly" as they progressed.
Need to edit your band lineup
Oh so close...
Guitar is Mick Mars
Bass is Nikki Sixx
“No sappy songs on Sunday.” That’s funny! 😂 The first two Crue albums are still my favorite. So raw, so punk. The next album, “Shout at the Devil”, was a bit more refined. A bit. Have y’all done the song “Shout at the Devil”? Really need to. When you do, I highly suggest doing it with the first track, “In The Beginning.” It really sets the scene.
Of All The Motley Crue (no umlauts) Songs, THIS is probably THE SAPPIEST!! Kidding Guys, and Amber, loved the way you reminded J!! God Bless You Guys and The Family in the Week coming up! Let us know when Luca starts cheering on the Bengals!
You guys should react to more Mötley Crüe…
"Looks That Kill", "Helter Skelter", "Too Young to Fall in Love", "Knock 'Em Dead, Kid", "Smokin' in the Boys Room", "Wild Side", "Without You", "Same Ol' Situation (S.O.S.)", "Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)"
🎸🤘
This makes me want to roller-skate really fast!
First song I ever heard from them! Again I uhm...acquired this cassette from my year younger brother😄 Whole album kicked ass...I like the unpolished version of MC better than what they evolved into. You usually only get one or two of the raw albums before they fall into the music business stuff.
I ahem, borrowed this cassette from a cute boy at the community pool, just found it like a year ago lol🤭
Yup
Just a much younger Vince… I saw them in 1986 great show!!! The drummer Tommy Lee did a freaking awesome drum solo on a hydraulic drum set that he was strapped into and that spun left,right and upside down..
Yes sir! I love me some motley crue. They was my jam bitd, along with def leppard, whitesnake, ratt, quiet riot, poison, judas priest and iron maiden. 🤟
OOOOhhh Yeahhhh!!!!
@@ozarkhillibilly9584 ten thousand years as the intercontinental champion, oooooh yeeeah dig it.💪😂
Looks That Kill, Dr Feelgood, Shout At The Devil, Home Sweet Home are all classic Crue tunes that make for great reactions.
Vince Neil is the singer you're watching. He's just much younger in this video and he's singing more through his nose. They had to put on a show not only in concert but their videos because they were competing for spots on MTV.
Wrong. They had John Corabi too for a couple years when Vince was out of the band.
@@jasong.5165 Correct. Was going to say the same.
Some of their best/heaviest work was with Corabi.
There, are you all happy? I fixed what you said I was wrong about...
@@dontmakemelaugh01 corabi doesn't have anything special the way Vince does, I couldn't even hear him over the music.
This was my favorite album of theirs. All the songs are great. I believe this video the first time I seen it I think was 1982 I believe
Nikki Sixx is the Bass Player, he is ALSO the Leader/Founder of Motley Crue as well as the Primary songwriter and the developer of their look. Nikki Sixx is the genius behind Motley Crue
Best name in rock
Rob & Amber, thank you for your channel. I have checked out a handful of other channels but I keep coming back to you two, irregardless. I love your pure love and excitement when you hear new songs.
What i do feel sad about for your generation, which is my son & daughters generation, is that you will probably never experience in person (at a live concert) is, what the 80's and 90's bands have brought. Live music. No studio created stuff on electric equipment. When you heard Steve Perry, you were absolutely correct! LIVE voice!!!! I hope you both have done further research into the metal/ rock bands that you have come to love. So many of the original founding members are gone. Yet they still carry on, in honor of their beloved brothers, nephews, uncles, etc. I listen to the music my adult kids have grown up with and as well as my grandchildren. So much is studio creation. Finding an artist that can acapella in this time, is like trying to find a unicorn or Bigfoot. Please continue your channel on TH-cam because I rather find it refreshing instead of watching anything on Cable TV. Respectfully written, a 54 year old 80's teen that had the good fortune to come across your channel.
All the best and God Bless,
This Indigenous Woman 💙
I love this band. You should listen to Dr. Feelgood, Home Sweet Home, To Young to Fall in Love and Shout at the Devil. That is Vince Neil vocals, Mick Mars Bass, Nikki Six guitar and Tommy Lee drums
They have done all those but to fast for love
Mick Mars guitar Nikki sixx bass
@@BIG-7777 😂
Sixx not six
OH MY !!! One of the best songs Motley Crue ever done in my opinion . And also one of my favorite bands . Love your Reactions ! Absolute 🔥
This was the original lead singer named Vince Neal, the bass was niki six, the guitar was mick mars, and the drummer was tommy lee. They only had one different lead singer for 1 album but he was not very well accepted by the fans so Vince came back
Finally some more Mötley!! Thanks for this!! You should do it more often and please check out Too Fast For Love from the same album as Live Wire, and then Home Sweet Home, Wild Side, You're All I Need, Same Ol' Situation, and of course Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away).
*Making money is an action. Keeping money is behavior. Growing money is knowledge.*..
Trading with Mr Richard Hart was never a regret to me, all thanks to him, he is the best i have ever seen
when you have a good skill, it is normal that you can go global and your name is recommended to so many people and from what i've heard about Mr. Richard Hart his strategies must be really good .
they were just young here...first album. one thing people dont understand with them is they reinvent themselves on every album. every album has a different theme.
Same lead singer this is a young Crue. Raw & Untamed. Saw them in 83! Crazy times!
Check out the Sweet - Teenage Rampage - Fox on the Run - Blockbuster ( 70's Rock)
It’s the same singer , Vince Neil is just much younger there with higher voice range and high energy. 1981
Yeah they recorded this album in a basement lol… And I think it’s still one of their best albums
Something about basement recordings...Boston's first album was recorded in a basement.
10 Seconds to Love
Like many bands, their first 2 albums were so on point. Raw and Rockin.
Mick Mars IS Motley Crue.
Awesome as always guys!! Cool story…. My dad was in Vegas at the Mirage playing blackjack. He told me he was playing at a table with a guy with a lot of tattoos, and he had a really good looking girlfriend. Anyway, it was just the three of them playing blackjack for about 4 hours, and my dad kept commenting on how nice they were. It wasn’t until they left that the dealer told him that he’d been sitting next to Tommy Lee and Heather Locklear! I was so pumped to hear that.
Hey Jay and Amber, the only time when Mötley Crüe had a different vocalist was when they released the album that features the song "Hooligans Holiday", which had John Corabi on lead vocals
During that time Vince Neil released a solo album which featured the song "You're Invited (But Your Friend Can't Come)" which also appears on the soundtrack of "Encino Man" starring Pauley Shore and Brendan Frasier
Both of these albums didn't sell well and so Mötley Crüe fired Corabi and brought back Vince
Nikki sixx is the bass player. One of the first Motley songs
Every cruel album has a different sound and feel....Nikki Sixx is an awesome song writer. Truly 1 of the best metal bands of all time!!!!!!
I am 55 and been listening to Crue, Alice C, Rush, Steve Miller Band, etc way back years ago as a kid. To quote Mick Jagger "what a drag it is getting old".
I used to play this album on my cassette tape deck in the car over and over, in the 80s in LA. Anazing time for fun, hard rock.
Love it !!!! CrueHead4Life here. Nikki Sixx is their bass player. He is the one who formed the band.
Back they were one best group live when I saw live in 1981
Nikki Sixx is the bass player, song writer, and architect of the band (vision, appeal, look, etc). I remember looking at the record sleeve when it came out and was mesmerized by their hair & outfits 🤘💢
The very beginning of the Crue. Younger and more Motley. Fantastic song!
The introdutions are the perfect time to light up the joint! Hugs from Brazil my favorite react couple!
This was the worlds introduction to Motley Crue and what an introduction it was! Too Fast for Love, in my opinion, is one of the greatest debut albums ever dropped by a band! Damn I miss the 80's it was a blast! A few songs that you need to listen to would be: Primal Scream, Saints of Los Angeles, White Trash Circus, & Too Young to Fall in Love!
Yep I saw crue with my future wife in Phoenix. AZ almost 20 years ago (has it been that long), Vince still had his voice and they were insane. Fun time.
This is what you call rock and roll superstars i love this song and this group motley cruel they are rock 🎸 band 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
The difference you're hearing is the raw recording quality. Since this was their first studio album there wasn't much budget for the more polished recordings they made in later years. Because of the rawness of it Too Fast For Love is one of my all time favorite albums.
Motley Crue have sold well over 100 Million albums worldwide! This song "Live Wire" was off their first album called "Too Fast For Love" which came out in 1981. It was re-released in 1982 by Elektra Records.
Motley Crue Theatre of Pain tour 1987 was my first concert! Love some Crue! Great reaction!
I saw them live in July. They still kill it! This was early on. First album. Young and raw.
Seriously???
Vince is f*ing terrible live!!! From early days till this summer
Open your ears
@@surf101- I did!!! He didn’t get bad until the last 2 songs. I really didn’t care one way or the other. I went knowing how bad he is live. I’m dying and wanted to see them. Tickets were gifted to me.
My wife's favorite band, yes Crue has a lot of pump up songs for sure.
Just saw them 2 weeks ago. Had a great time.
I'm hearing that crue, def leppard, poison and Joan Jett are bringing that tour over to the uk next year. I hope that's the case because I'd love to see them all together.
Motley Crue was the first band I ever saw live in concert. 1989 in Hawaii, I was 21 and living the best years of my life! It was the Dr. Feelgood tour and they absolutely rocked!
The base player is Nikki Sixx, the Man is Motley Crue. He started the band, writes most of the songs, the leader of the group. All four members are on the centre stage not just the lead singer. Great music considering they do not have that fourth member usually on rytham guitar. Great trio (Vine holds a guitar in same ol situation lol it's more of a prop).
Dude, if they had a rhythm guitarist, it would be FIVE members; drummers do count, in fact, if it wasn’t for Tommy Lee, Mötley Crüe would never be the same… take Guns n Roses for instance, they’re made of five with a rhythm guitarist… now take Rolling Stones, they’re made of four without a rhythm guitarist, only Keith Richards… just saying
This is motley Crue!!
Always My favorite.
I can’t believe you finally played this. I asked so long ago. This is the real MC.
THE REAL CRÜE! When they were raw and dangerous!
they were just soooo dang good...lost lots of hearing to these guys///LOL.....no joke...love em..great great band man
Kick-start my heart and Live wire are my favorites of all time and no songs can't be better for me.. 👍😅
Wife here..., Been a huge Motley Crue fan since my teenage years..You can really hear their "punk rock" influence in these earlier songs..Saw them in Atlanta GA a couple months ago..It was AWESOME..however.., I broke my pinky toe
First song from the first album if i remember. The song we were all first introduced to motley crue with back then.
YESSSSS 👏👏👏👍👍👍💯💯💯😏😏😏 the Crue!!! Amber here's your cowbell 🎵🎵🎵😌😌😌
Yes, same singer, Vince Neil. From their first album, pre- vocal chord repair surgery.
The bass player is mick marrs vince neil is the lead singer he has been with them since the start. They are on tour as we speak. Live wire is from their first album.
These guys where 20/21 here. This is their first album that they recorded and released themselves before being signed to a major label. Nikki Sixx, the bass player who has his legs on fire, he used to do that at the shows they played on LA's Sunset Strip like the Whiskey go go. The singer would squirt rubbing alcohol on his boots and throw a match on them. Poor man's pyrotechnics. This same year they got their first big break, they toured as opening act for Kiss for about six weeks if I remember correctly. Their next tour they opened for Ozzy in 1983/84, The craziness from that tour is legendary.
You mentioned age, and you’re right; Vince was 20, Nikki was 23, Mick was 30 (the oldest) and Tommy was 19 (the youngest)
Their first 2 albums are bomb proof
Dude guys love this band
Not just guys...girls do too
@@stephaniesupernault3970 oh yeah
Nikki Sixx is the bass player, co-founder and also writes most of the music for Crue.
Crue in their most LA raw form. I was in Jr High in a small Texas town and this album opened my eyes to 80's rock and it was the beginning of Hair Metal for me. Some other bands may have actually started before but this album is when I took notice.
Motley Crue were a product of the L.A. music scene that had produced Van Halen in the 70's... The Sunset Strip was where bands came to play and build a fanbase, hoping to get into the music business. Ratt came there from San Diego... Poison arrived from Pennsylvania... Axl Rose and Izzy Stradlin came from Indiana... They all wanted to be a part of the scene. Bob Deal had been a guitarist in the scene since the 70's, and had never got a break; he joined Motley Crue as guitarist Mick Mars and that was when his fame began...
Frank Ferrano came to L.A. as Nikki Sixx and started playing bass for various bands... one band he joined was London (which Slash of GNR had also played in), a band that failed to get signed. Around 1980, he saw another band called Suite 16 and met drummer Tommy Lee... he decided to form a band w/ him... They saw an ad in a newspaper for a guitarist, and that was guitarist Mick Mars introduction to the band (Mars later named the band 'Motley Crew', but they thought it was cooler to spell it Motley Crue)... Singer Vince Neil had gone to high school w/ Tommy Lee, and was in a cover band; Lee recommended Neil for Motley Crue, despite not being a great vocalist, but he had the stage presence and charisma to draw throngs of adoring women to see him perform.
This was Motley Crue's first album 'Too fast for love' in 1981, recorded independently and released to fanfare... Motley were showmen on stage, wearing heels, spandex and faminine makeup, w/ big hair - Nikki Sixx would light himself on fire... Vince Neil would destroy mannequins w/ a chainsaw... that was on display in this video
In the first year, they were selling out L.A.'s biggest clubs. In 1982, they were signed by manager Doc McGhee, who got them a record deal w/ Elektra Records. 'Too fast for love' was remixed and released... this music video was made to promote Motley on the new MTV channel, and they even opened for Kiss on a rather dismal tour...
It wasn't until 1983 when US Festival was held in California, Van Halen was headlining... Quiet Riot was on the bill and they killed their set, setting themselves up to get a #1 record 'Metal health' on the US charts... Motley Crue played that day, but were apparently awful, but won over the crowd somehow... their 2nd album 'Shout at the devil' went gold, then platinum... eventually selling 4x platinum (4 million copies) in the US ('Too fast for love' eventually went platinum).
With Van Halen riding high in 1983, Quiet Riot w/ a #1 album and Motley Crue taking off... Suddenly, record label who ignored the L.A. scene for decades, started signing a plethora of bands that had been working the scene for years... Dokken got signed to Elektra... W.A.S.P. signed w/ Capitol Records... Chrysalis signed the band Armored Saint... Great White signed w/ EMI, as did the Red Hot Chili Peppers... Ratt eventually signed w/ Atlantic Records. That was the start of the 80's glam rock domination of the rock scene.
Who day nation!lm from Ohio! Way to represent! I have one for you ! Please play this! No one else will. Robin Trower. Bridge of sighs .great album and great blues!!!
For the Elvis movie coming out on DVD, you need to react to Elvis's 68 comeback special!! The Black Suite Elvis was the GOAT of live performances!! I would suggest One night with you, or Trying to get to you, or, Love me!! You have NEVER EVER seen Elvis like this!!
