I was 12 years old. My parents wouldn’t let me by this tape. So my friends and I went to the public library. You could check out the record. Just 3 12 year olds sitting in the back of the young adult section with three sets of headphones hooked up to one record player. Rocking out as quietly as possible. The 80s rocked.
What a great story, nothing beats you & friends havin a great time. I tell my son to enjoy his childhood cause 1 day your our age, lol. Thanks for sharing Tom and enjoy the day.
You poor guy my parents literally didnt even know where i was at that age. They were to busy working and let the world raise us. And yes the 80's were fun lolol
When I was in high school, one of the New York radio stations was having a school spirit contest. Whichever school submitted the most signatures would win a concert by Motley Crue. I remember signing my name at least 500 times. Anyway, we won but our principal wouldn't allow them to come to our school. In order to see them, we had to go into NYC, manhattan. So my mother decided to rent a limo and took me, my brother, and two of my friends into the city and it was such a good time. It was a small venue and my ears rang for 3 days after, but what a show. Three of my friends made it onto the stage as well. Was so grateful for that, will never forget that great memory.
Yep. I live in Fort Lauderdale and they played this song so many times at the Doll House when I was a young immature carefree adult. Every weekend they got a portion of my paycheck. 😂
@@onionhead5780 Ah, I'd love to go back and be that immature young carefree adult. I'm now retired and more or less carefree but hanging out in strip clubs is a non-starter now.
True, Chris . You don't need an interpreter to realize it's a tune like Cat Scratch Fever , that they really should do. I've been waiting on that one ,J & Amber. That's what Ted opened Cal Jam 78 with..
Super underrated?? Whaaaaah 😜....dude, in the 80s and 90s Mars was considered to one of THE TOP 10 guitarists ever 👍in music back in those days. He was up there with Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Santana, allll those greats....he's still a legend 👏 👍
Leave it to Motley to do a song about their favorite strip clubs. If you watch any of the episodes of "Behind the Music" or other documentaries covering the hair bands from the Sunset Strip in L.A., you'll find almost all of them talk about how they owe their survival to the local strippers. The dancers all had money, and the bands were all broke, so the girls provided them with food and often helped out with rent and other bills on top of it.
The girls who dressed like this and danced in these old videos were called "video vixens." They made a TON of money, especially in 80s music videos for hair bands - Whitesnake (Tawny Kitaen RIP :( ), Bobbie Brown (Warrant), Sharise Neil, who was in this Motley Crue video and married to lead singer Vince Neil, and even Alisha Silverstone (Aerosmith). When rock became out of fashion, the video vixens switched to hip hop videos.
I had this album on cassette back in the day. One thing I always liked about this song is how Mick Mars makes the guitar sound like a motorcycle engine. It was so badass back then.
Mick Mars is a guitar wizard… not the “genius master of all guitars in the world” but he’s definitely up there with Van Halen, I’d say: Van Halen makes a guitar sing, and Mick makes it sound like motorcycles… my favorite guitarist, for sure
One by one, Amber is listening to all the songs she missed from the early days the RSR channel when it was just Jay. (Psssst... she hasn't heard "Too Much Heaven" by the Bee Gees, or "Creep" by Radiohead). And yes, Jay, this was your introduction to the Crue. You did it just two weeks into the channel (April 13, 2021)!
This song was THE theme song at all topless clubs nationwide. It was played loud right at shift change so all girls from both shifts were all up on tables at one time.
OMG, Motley Crue was at the height of their debauchery when this album, came in 87: it was on this tour that bassist Nikki Sixx overdosed on heroin, the paramedics pulled the sheet over his head, but then one of them made one last attempt to revive him with two cardiac needles of adrenaline into his heart! The release party for this album was held at The Body Shop on The Sunset Strip in Hollywood. Initially MTV only allowed this video to be played after 8pm before eventually making it the first video to be banned fro, the network.
Great... another reaction to another useless, redundant 80's hair band. Probably requested by subscribers to this channel that started listening to music AFTER 1980. I feel sorry for them.
Mick Marrs, the strings, and the sound, of the band, on 🎸🎸 🤘😝🤟!!! Tommy Lee, the thunder, on drums ⛈️💥 ⛈️!!! Nikki Sixx, the smashing, funk on bass!!! And Vince "F*cking Neil on Vocals!!! All this and you get the perfect representation of the'80s Metal Sound!!!
This was my first concert. I had just turned 14 and my brother bought tickets for me and my best friend (John) as a birthday present. Guns N' Roses opened for them. It was awesome.
Ever since the movie Hot tub Time machine, I have absolutely loved that song! I mean I've always liked it but that movie made Me Love It! Hey Jay and amber, Hot tub Time machine, movie reaction request there you go! React to the song home sweet home first though!
Yes- finally- I too had noticed a little while back that Amber hadn’t seen this one. I was re-watching some older videos and was like 😲..especially with it being a massive, staple hit of theirs! 🔥🙂✨
In my neighborhood in Cali, everyone got a pentagram motley crue Tattoo. We all loved motley. Their will never be a band like motley again. The 80s ruled!! Also, Amber really is so fun the way she rocks out and Rob's entusiasmo is so refreshing. THE ROB SQUAD FAMILY is fun too!!!
Mötley Crüe were in their prime here. To see them live during this decade was a phenomenal experience. One of the best live shows I have ever seen. Excellent choice! I knew Amber was gonna love it. 🤘
Mick's guitar playing the end, is just amazing!!! Next up ......... 'Same Ole Situation, Primal Scream, Don't Go Away (Just Go Away), Starry Eyes, Merry Go Round"!!!
Thee Dollhouse IV (yes, with two e’s; that’s not a typo) near (not actually in) Fort Lauderdale, the Tattletale Lounge in Atlanta, the Seventh Veil in Hollywood, Crazy Horse in Paris, the Body Shop in West Hollywood, the Marble Arch in Vancouver, and the Hollywood Tropicana in Los Angeles are or were (some are still open, others long closed) all real strip clubs where the band went. The Hollywood Tropicana is where Vince Neil met his later wife (now ex-wife) Sharise Ruddell, who was working there as a ring girl and mud wrestler.
Amber and Jordan, you make a good day better. You make a sad day a happier. You are my favorite TH-camrs. That's why I always say. Keep up with the good work 😎👍
I'm 59 and still love hair metal, I graduated high school in 1981. My first concert I ever went to was KISS in 1977 on Christmas day at what used to be the Summit here in Houston, where the Rockets used to play. I don't think there was a month that went by without going to a concert until 1989 when my son was born. Kids have a funny way of making you get your financial priorities in order quick! Out of all the concerts I went to I will cherish the last on I went to, which was Motley Crue on their ending tour in 2017, I took my son, and my grandson. It was freakin' awsome. My grandson still talks about it to this day! If you want to check out a modern version of hair metal, which I think is awesome, check out "Pop Evil, Boss' Daughter". Mick Mars, which is the guitarist in Motley Crue is featured in their video and had a creative hand in the sound for the song. Really love your channel guys. you always dig up some old songs that I have not thought about in decades! keep 'em comming! Much love and God bless! Mike
Recommend Johnny Winter. Texas lightning blues guitarist. Signed record contract in 69. Played at Woodstock, unfortunately manager thought they wouldn’t make any money so kept his set from movie. First guitarist on cover of Guitar Player magazine. 3 Grammys for producing Muddy Waters. One of the greatest live records with Rick Derringer as second guitarist. First white musician in Blues hall of Fame.
Thanks for reminding of me of another concert I've seen so I can add Rick Derringer to my list of live concerts I've attended in my life, so far. Up to 58 concerts since 1973. I've got lots and lots more to see before my time is up!
Funny Story. I was up late on the night this film clip aired on MYV. My dad got up (he was in bed for work the next day) and came in the room while I was watching. He stayed until it finished, and commented as he left the room '' He's a good guitarist'' :D He said nothing about the tits :D
This was the first tour where Tommy had the 360° rotating drum kit (but only "East to West" - Not forwards and backwards (that got added on the next tour.)-He still needed oxygen to play his solo (he had blood not delivering enough oxygen to his brain, mechanically - Never mind any drugs he might have been on!). I saw then with David Coverdale's l.a. version of Whitesnake [The one where he destroyed the band who recorded the album: John Sykes - guitars, voice; Aynsley Dunbar - drums; Neil Murray - bass, voice and replaced them with a "straight-out-of-l.a." band, which never played on that 1987 album, but was in the videos! (which was): Vivian Campbell - guitars [ex-Dio]; Tommy Aldridge - drums [ex-Ozzy Osbourne, ex-Pat Travers Band, ex-Black Oak Arkansas (wherein he, effectively, invented every style & 'move' for '80s metal drumming (in the '70s!!!!🤘🤘)-)] Rudy Sarzo - bass [also formerly in Ozzy Osbourne's band, Randy Rhoads' old friend and, also, in the re-boot version of: Quiet Riot, from the '80s!] and Adrian Vandenberg - guitars [This Dutch shredder was the ONLY member of the band who had performed on the 1987, self-titled Whitesnake album. Adrian cut a single solo on that (for his friend, John Sykes!). Adrian had had U.S. radio success, with his OWN band [Vandenberg] in the early '80s. "Wait" and "Burning Heart" were hits and received tons of rock radio airplay. The first 2 studio albums were full of juicy melodic metal. "Your Love Is In Vain" is a 'go-to'!!!!🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥 ...anyway: Vandenberg split after 3 albums and Adrian was, generally, doing studio work ...before David Coverdale moved his solo project: Whitesnake, to the U.S. & reconfigured them.]) Whitesnake opened. Crüe were the headliner. This album SUCKS ...but, as ever!: The Crüe knew how to put on a show. ...but: it was 1987 and ...labels had taken over. Cliff Burton had died. Thrash-Metal became a blip on the wider public's consciousness, because: Metallica (now, w/Jason Newsted) did the thing they said they would never do: release a video [the video for: "One"] and, the Damaged Justice tour (and the following segments in the summer and fall) brought in massive crowds. ...by 1990: Lars would take the band from: Thrash-Metal to radio rawk, with: "Enter Sandman" and bring in a new, less intent generation of 'tallicA fans. ...leading to the need for: Public Enemy, Living Colour, N.W.A., Nine Inch Nails, Smashing Pumpkins, Faith No More, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains [THE metal act of the '90s!], Soundgarden and (of course), the massively punk-influenced Nirvana. (as well as N.W. compatriots such as the long-grinding: MELVINS (et al.!). ...This was the upsurge (upDIRGE) of what became known as "hair metal" and the dilution of everything that had started the 1980s & been cool! ...The last gasp. ...but: it led to good things, despite !! -and, yes: Tommy's rotating drum kit was a cool-ass showpiece and fun beyond measure!!🤘🤘🔥
At least y'all didn't choose the explicit version of the video. Several other reactors on TH-cam accidentally chose that version, and boy did they get an eyeful. Great song either way.
Others are David Lee Roth (solo, not with Van Halen) with "California Girls", Cyndi Lauper with "Girls Just Want to Have Fun", David Bowie with "China Girl", Foreigner with "Waiting for a Girl Like You".
I saw this tour live in Tulsa, was close to the stage, it was loud and great. This was the one were Tommy played his drums at a 90-degree angle on the stage.
You should've seen them on this tour..my senior year of high school, my best friend & I, No Adult types, front row & hanging on to the baracade. It was definitely one of my best memories from the 80s & high school.
Jay my friend, not only Mötley Crüe, but none other than one Elvis Aaron Presley, did a song called "Girls! Girls! Girls!" Check that one out. I think you'll dig it!
This totally takes me back to my junior year in high school. September 16, 1987 Motley Crue played the second night of their Dallas, TX stop at Reunion Arena with Whitesnake opening the show, and that whole night was such a fun concert. At one point, the singer Vince Neil introduced Stephen Pearcy and Robin Crosby, the lead singer and co guitarist of RATT, on stage and they all played Rock n Roll by Led Zeppelin. As a 16 year old kid, I thought, this doesn’t get any better than this. I was also really impressed by MickMars’ guitar tone, the overall tone of his guitar was so ridiculously full, that there was really no need for a rhythm guitar player during a solo. And speaking as a guitarist myself, that’s typically unheard of. Such great times. Thanks for the trip down memory lane! I love checking out your channel. Y’all have a great new year!
Another fun band to check out, is Steel Panther. They are an American comedic glam & hair metal band. They have shall we say rather interesting lyrics, not for young ears. During live shows, they pull up someone from the audience to play guitar or drums and perform a Van Halen cover.
MC knows how to appreciate the beauty of a real woman. The girls in the places they mention are top notch. They are beautiful, have almost flawless bodies, and entertain without being too raunchy. FYI - The girl Vince (the lead singer) carries out of the bar is Sharice. He married her and had a daughter with her back in the day. Unfortunately, that little beauty herself died at a young age of some type of cancer and they soon divorced. It is portrayed in their movie "The Dirt." Hope you guys get a chance to watch it before your next MC reaction so you can let us know...unless you already have and I haven't seen that part.
I was 15 years old when this video came out. This video was considered soft core porn back in 1987. I think MTV wasn't even allowed to run the music video until after 10PM EST at night--hahaha. I remember this video fondly.....
The home video also had an unedited topless version of this video. And yes. Mic mars horribly underrated as a guitarist. Also I’m sure it’s still played in strip cubs to this day
Man, I'll tell you what...the thing that makes Motley so good was the good good riffs. Mick Mars wasn't trying to be Eddie Van Halen... Micks in a class all by himself. 'You're all I need' is another really good one. Good Good riffs.
You guys make me smile every time I tune in. A job well done. Amber you are correct as rap is 10 times worse on women. Keep doing y’all’s thing and bringing it every day. 💯💕👍😊
WOW had forgotten this one. In college in 1987 when this came out. It became kind of treasure hunt to go along the Gulf Coast from dive to the next to get things like T-shirt or beer mug some item to show u had been there. I remember the ones in Atlanta and Fort Lauderdale Were really packed after this song came out. Great memories of all those hair band when I had hair .
Oh man, I would’ve loved to have seen that. Tho honestly would’ve preferred a switch between them. Motley Crue as the opener and GNR as the headliner. I just always preferred GNR.
Right on, White Snake opened here in Phoenix, my first concert with my new roommates after graduating HS and moving to the desert to go to school. I was the first person in the apartment and a dude walks in, spots the Maiden poster and bong and says in the strongest Tennessean accent, "we're gonna get along just fine". A group of us went, it was cool because we were all from different states in a new place and liked the same music. Damn time flies..
Oh the 80's. I lived it. I loved it. I survived it (I think). And yes, it WAS all that! The only thing I don't miss? The small fortune spent on Rave hairspray, curling irons and ripping up perfectly good, brand new t-shirts. What a TIME to be alive. I'd go back in a heartbeat. It was wonderful!
Tommy and the girls fight over the last can of hair spray. Love it. Never had hair that teased up, but did have a ponytail when I played in a band in college. Mick was Mick. Just doing his own good thing. The whole band had a vibe, but the music was usually very solid. I liked them. Still do.
I was a Crue fan from the early 80’s. Then at a snooty college party, with upper crust wannabes, I heard this on the radio. I yelled for everyone to shut up, because the Boys were back.
I was 12 years old. My parents wouldn’t let me by this tape. So my friends and I went to the public library. You could check out the record. Just 3 12 year olds sitting in the back of the young adult section with three sets of headphones hooked up to one record player. Rocking out as quietly as possible. The 80s rocked.
Thats awesome
What a great story, nothing beats you & friends havin a great time. I tell my son to enjoy his childhood cause 1 day your our age, lol. Thanks for sharing Tom and enjoy the day.
You poor guy my parents literally didnt even know where i was at that age. They were to busy working and let the world raise us. And yes the 80's were fun lolol
Took my kid to the motley Crue stadium tour in August at SoFi. He is 16. 6 1/2 hour show
Fun story! Your library had a better music section than mine 😃
When I was in high school, one of the New York radio stations was having a school spirit contest. Whichever school submitted the most signatures would win a concert by Motley Crue. I remember signing my name at least 500 times. Anyway, we won but our principal wouldn't allow them to come to our school. In order to see them, we had to go into NYC, manhattan. So my mother decided to rent a limo and took me, my brother, and two of my friends into the city and it was such a good time. It was a small venue and my ears rang for 3 days after, but what a show. Three of my friends made it onto the stage as well. Was so grateful for that, will never forget that great memory.
This song was immortalized and would be played in heavy rotation in "gentlemen's clubs" for years to come...
Yep. I live in Fort Lauderdale and they played this song so many times at the Doll House when I was a young immature carefree adult. Every weekend they got a portion of my paycheck. 😂
Still do
@@onionhead5780 Ah, I'd love to go back and be that immature young carefree adult. I'm now retired and more or less carefree but hanging out in strip clubs is a non-starter now.
@@onionhead5780 I've been there as well back when I was 21 old on Vacation in South Fla.
@@briangulley6027 I still go from time to time as retired 56 yr old guy the wife don't care .
Yep, Amber. You don't need a lyric breakdown to figure what this song is about. 🤣🤘🤘
🤣🤣
True, Chris . You don't need an interpreter to realize it's a tune like Cat Scratch Fever , that they really should do. I've been waiting on that one ,J & Amber. That's what Ted opened Cal Jam 78 with..
I guess it has something to do with girls. Not sure though.
This is when dancers took pride in their art, they all would try to out dance each other, tricks and all the crazy pole work was fun to watch!
Guitar solo is amazing. Mick Mars is super underrated!
The Crue were great but Mars was not special in any way
@@jamiefredrickson2560 I disagree.
I agree he was underrated as well. He’s not the greatest at all, but never got the credit he deserved.
Super underrated?? Whaaaaah 😜....dude, in the 80s and 90s Mars was considered to one of THE TOP 10 guitarists ever 👍in music back in those days. He was up there with Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Santana, allll those greats....he's still a legend 👏 👍
Micks tone is unmistakable.🎸
Leave it to Motley to do a song about their favorite strip clubs. If you watch any of the episodes of "Behind the Music" or other documentaries covering the hair bands from the Sunset Strip in L.A., you'll find almost all of them talk about how they owe their survival to the local strippers. The dancers all had money, and the bands were all broke, so the girls provided them with food and often helped out with rent and other bills on top of it.
The bands were funded not by strippers, but by the generous but moronic middle-aged married men who thought they had a chance with the strippers.
True story! Similar story from GnR!!
This is a perfect example of a song made popular by MTv. Without the video, the song by itself is not somethng that would have made the radio.
@@redpine8665 Amen! Not a good song, but ohhhhh boy is it a good video ;)
@@alberth9418 I disagree. I think this is Motley Crue's best song.
glad I was a kid in this era...when fun was allowed
And when this kind of video was allowed.
The girls who dressed like this and danced in these old videos were called "video vixens." They made a TON of money, especially in 80s music videos for hair bands - Whitesnake (Tawny Kitaen RIP :( ), Bobbie Brown (Warrant), Sharise Neil, who was in this Motley Crue video and married to lead singer Vince Neil, and even Alisha Silverstone (Aerosmith).

Yesssss!! Video Vixens!
One of Mick Mars' finest moments. A killer riff and dirty solo.
I had this album on cassette back in the day. One thing I always liked about this song is how Mick Mars makes the guitar sound like a motorcycle engine. It was so badass back then.
Mick Mars is a guitar wizard… not the “genius master of all guitars in the world” but he’s definitely up there with Van Halen, I’d say: Van Halen makes a guitar sing, and Mick makes it sound like motorcycles… my favorite guitarist, for sure
The uncensored version of this video is amazing. Thank You so much ladies. From the teenage me back then.
Motley Crue Without You it's a very beautiful song
have to check out "Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)"
One by one, Amber is listening to all the songs she missed from the early days the RSR channel when it was just Jay. (Psssst... she hasn't heard "Too Much Heaven" by the Bee Gees, or "Creep" by Radiohead). And yes, Jay, this was your introduction to the Crue. You did it just two weeks into the channel (April 13, 2021)!
Amber also hasn't heard Billy Idol's "Rebel Yell". A MUST!!!!
Maybe also a revisit of Painkiller now that she is getting more into the heavier stuff now.
I think he’s enjoying this a little too much!!🫣😂😂
No wonder he was willing to come back to this one to share it with Amber!!
One of my favorite Motley Crue songs is "Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away). I think you both will absolutely love it :)
This song was THE theme song at all topless clubs nationwide. It was played loud right at shift change so all girls from both shifts were all up on tables at one time.
OMG, Motley Crue was at the height of their debauchery when this album, came in 87: it was on this tour that bassist Nikki Sixx overdosed on heroin, the paramedics pulled the sheet over his head, but then one of them made one last attempt to revive him with two cardiac needles of adrenaline into his heart! The release party for this album was held at The Body Shop on The Sunset Strip in Hollywood. Initially MTV only allowed this video to be played after 8pm before eventually making it the first video to be banned fro, the network.
The fun and debauchery of the 80's was simply awesome,! Motley crue was carrying the flag into the party battle and wish I could back! Rock on !!!!!
I saw you BOTH checking out this song, and immediately clicked. Great tune from a different time. Loved every minute of it. Peace!
Great... another reaction to another useless, redundant 80's hair band. Probably requested by subscribers to this channel that started listening to music AFTER 1980. I feel sorry for them.
The subtlety of the message is what sells the song.😉
"Home Sweet Home", "Without You", "Same Old Situation", and "Primal Scream", by Motley Crue
HOT FOR TEACHER by Van Halen is another one to check out if you haven't done so yet. Amber is such a trooper. Great reaction!
I think they may have but I have to go back and look.
It’s a great pick please check it out.
No unfortunately they haven't done that one yet, have been waiting and suggesting that one forever.
@@donnacorey5682 Then they MUST but only if the show the official video.
@@maryreilly5092 Absolutely! I pray they do the video, it's one of the greatest music videos EVER!
AC/DC's "You Shook Me All Night Long". You definitely need to check it out!!
Mick Marrs, the strings, and the sound, of the band, on 🎸🎸 🤘😝🤟!!! Tommy Lee, the thunder, on drums ⛈️💥 ⛈️!!! Nikki Sixx, the smashing, funk on bass!!! And Vince "F*cking Neil on Vocals!!!
All this and you get the perfect representation of the'80s Metal Sound!!!
I remember in my late teens, and early 20's, this was the song every "Top Dancer" chose!!
Home sweet home is probably my favorite song by them! This comes in close at number two
Agree 100
Wildside is my #2!
My favourite is 10 Seconds to Love ❤️
Agreed
1986. The title cut. Excellent choice you two! It was also a great tour!🤟🤟 you two make my day.
Used to bounce at the Platinum Club in Anniston Al. This song played every night. Brings back memories
This was my first concert. I had just turned 14 and my brother bought tickets for me and my best friend (John) as a birthday present. Guns N' Roses opened for them. It was awesome.
"HOME SWEET HOME" their monster ballad, have y'all done that one?
Ever since the movie Hot tub Time machine, I have absolutely loved that song! I mean I've always liked it but that movie made Me Love It!
Hey Jay and amber, Hot tub Time machine, movie reaction request there you go! React to the song home sweet home first though!
Hearing this in my teens was like a revelation. It might not be the best song ever, but I love hearing it every time. :)
Yes- finally- I too had noticed a little while back that Amber hadn’t seen this one. I was re-watching some older videos and was like 😲..especially with it being a massive, staple hit of theirs! 🔥🙂✨
I love this band !! They have always been themselves and know what rnr meant in 80s and today
The best version of this song was a British Band called Sailor in 1976.
In my neighborhood in Cali, everyone got a pentagram motley crue Tattoo. We all loved motley. Their will never be a band like motley again. The 80s ruled!! Also, Amber really is so fun the way she rocks out and Rob's entusiasmo is so refreshing. THE ROB SQUAD FAMILY is fun too!!!
Mötley Crüe were in their prime here. To see them live during this decade was a phenomenal experience. One of the best live shows I have ever seen. Excellent choice! I knew Amber was gonna love it. 🤘
I was also fortunate to see them in 1986 it was a fantastic show.. Tommy Lee’s hydraulic drum solo was epic!!!
Dr. Feelgood for tour was awesome
Mick's guitar playing the end, is just amazing!!!
Next up ......... 'Same Ole Situation, Primal Scream, Don't Go Away (Just Go Away), Starry Eyes, Merry Go Round"!!!
Looks like you haven't done Motley Crue "Looks That Kill" yet, has a killer riff.
This album was when I first started getting into rock. I was hooked immediately. This was one of the first cassettes I ever bought!
Thee Dollhouse IV (yes, with two e’s; that’s not a typo) near (not actually in) Fort Lauderdale, the Tattletale Lounge in Atlanta, the Seventh Veil in Hollywood, Crazy Horse in Paris, the Body Shop in West Hollywood, the Marble Arch in Vancouver, and the Hollywood Tropicana in Los Angeles are or were (some are still open, others long closed) all real strip clubs where the band went. The Hollywood Tropicana is where Vince Neil met his later wife (now ex-wife) Sharise Ruddell, who was working there as a ring girl and mud wrestler.
You have to give Mick Mars credit where its due because his guitar playing is superb. So underrated 👍
Amber and Jordan, you make a good day better. You make a sad day a happier. You are my favorite TH-camrs. That's why I always say. Keep up with the good work 😎👍

Much love and God bless!

Growing up in the 80s, hair bands were my thing.
KIX-Don't Close your eyes is a great hair band song!
I suggested that as well a while back. Another singer who had incredible range and primal scream. **Fingers crossed they'll get to it someday!
“How are they still alive?!”
Everyone.
Seriously, how?
Kick ass tune! Saw them a few times..great show!
These guys had a blast during the 80’s and they always never failed watching them live!! Tommy one of my fav drummers!!
There's also a uncensored version of girls girls

[The one where he destroyed the band who recorded the album:
John Sykes - guitars, voice; Aynsley Dunbar - drums; Neil Murray - bass, voice
and replaced them with a "straight-out-of-l.a." band, which never played on that 1987 album, but was in the videos!
(which was):
Vivian Campbell - guitars [ex-Dio];
Tommy Aldridge - drums [ex-Ozzy Osbourne, ex-Pat Travers Band, ex-Black Oak Arkansas (wherein he, effectively, invented every style & 'move' for '80s metal drumming (in the '70s!!!!🤘🤘)-)]
Rudy Sarzo - bass [also formerly in Ozzy Osbourne's band, Randy Rhoads' old friend and, also, in the re-boot version of: Quiet Riot, from the '80s!]
and
Adrian Vandenberg - guitars [This Dutch shredder was the ONLY member of the band who had performed on the 1987, self-titled Whitesnake album. Adrian cut a single solo on that (for his friend, John Sykes!).
Adrian had had U.S. radio success, with his OWN band [Vandenberg] in the early '80s.
"Wait" and "Burning Heart" were hits and received tons of rock radio airplay.
The first 2 studio albums were full of juicy melodic metal.
"Your Love Is In Vain" is a 'go-to'!!!!🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥
...anyway: Vandenberg split after 3 albums and Adrian was, generally, doing studio work
...before David Coverdale moved his solo project: Whitesnake, to the U.S. & reconfigured them.])
Whitesnake opened.
Crüe were the headliner.
This album SUCKS ...but, as ever!: The Crüe knew how to put on a show.
...but: it was 1987 and ...labels had taken over.
Cliff Burton had died.
Thrash-Metal became a blip on the wider public's consciousness, because: Metallica (now, w/Jason Newsted) did the thing they said they would never do: release a video [the video for: "One"] and, the Damaged Justice tour (and the following segments in the summer and fall) brought in massive crowds. ...by 1990: Lars would take the band from: Thrash-Metal to radio rawk, with: "Enter Sandman" and bring in a new, less intent generation of 'tallicA fans.
...leading to the need for:
Public Enemy, Living Colour, N.W.A., Nine Inch Nails, Smashing Pumpkins, Faith No More, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains [THE metal act of the '90s!], Soundgarden and (of course), the massively punk-influenced Nirvana.
(as well as N.W. compatriots such as the long-grinding: MELVINS (et al.!).
...This was the upsurge (upDIRGE) of what became known as "hair metal" and the dilution of everything that had started the 1980s & been cool!
...The last gasp.
...but: it led to good things, despite !!
-and, yes: Tommy's rotating drum kit was a cool-ass showpiece and fun beyond measure!!🤘🤘🔥
At least y'all didn't choose the explicit version of the video. Several other reactors on TH-cam accidentally chose that version, and boy did they get an eyeful. Great song either way.
Others are David Lee Roth (solo, not with Van Halen) with "California Girls", Cyndi Lauper with "Girls Just Want to Have Fun", David Bowie with "China Girl", Foreigner with "Waiting for a Girl Like You".
I saw them in concert during the tour for this album and the drummer his drum set got lifted in the air and he played the drums upside down
Next to Shout at the Devil, the Girls Girls Girls album is top notch. 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Great reaction!! MC has so many fun songs! Love that Amber loves this one!!
I saw this tour live in Tulsa, was close to the stage, it was loud and great. This was the one were Tommy played his drums at a 90-degree angle on the stage.
Wife here..OMG..This was on constant rotation in the 80's on MTV
The uncensored video is even better 😁
@inboxThe_Rob_Squad_Reactions I'm independently wealthy. You hit me up and I'll have something special for you.
Mötley Crüe - Girls, Girls, Girls Fastest click I did all day.
"Without You" is a Motley Crue ballad that Amber would like. Check it out!
Amber & Jordan, Amber has not done Jump from Van Halen either. Jordan did it on his own. Come on Amber, check out Van Halen's Jump music video.
You should've seen them on this tour..my senior year of high school, my best friend & I, No Adult types, front row & hanging on to the baracade. It was definitely one of my best memories from the 80s & high school.
Jay my friend, not only Mötley Crüe, but none other than one Elvis Aaron Presley, did a song called "Girls! Girls! Girls!"
Check that one out. I think you'll dig it!
Was a big 70s concert-goer, but loved the Crue. Never got to see them in concert, something I deeply regret. The 80s were a fantastic time too.
I Remember hearing this song at a young age while watching ‘Indian in the cupboard’ lol😂
This totally takes me back to my junior year in high school. September 16, 1987 Motley Crue played the second night of their Dallas, TX stop at Reunion Arena with Whitesnake opening the show, and that whole night was such a fun concert. At one point, the singer Vince Neil introduced Stephen Pearcy and Robin Crosby, the lead singer and co guitarist of RATT, on stage and they all played Rock n Roll by Led Zeppelin. As a 16 year old kid, I thought, this doesn’t get any better than this. I was also really impressed by MickMars’ guitar tone, the overall tone of his guitar was so ridiculously full, that there was really no need for a rhythm guitar player during a solo. And speaking as a guitarist myself, that’s typically unheard of.
Such great times. Thanks for the trip down memory lane! I love checking out your channel. Y’all have a great new year!
My favorite song of theirs, always loved the video
Motley Crue's Home Sweet Home is a beautiful song. They could do a ballad well.
Have you done the band The Warning? All female, sisters from Mexico! They ROCK! "Evolve" is a great song🎸🤘💕
I concur.
Thanks for the recommendation, I will check it out.
Another fun band to check out, is Steel Panther. They are an American comedic glam & hair metal band. They have shall we say rather interesting lyrics, not for young ears. During live shows, they pull up someone from the audience to play guitar or drums and perform a Van Halen cover.
I live right down the street from Tattle Tails 😂 everyone always brings this song up when visiting.
I was 21 when this song came out. Loved it then, love it now!!! I shouldn't but I do!!🤘🎸
The blonde that Vince Neil is seen carrying in his arms near the end of the video, later became his wife
Yep well I ended every night of work with this song lol and meet them because of that job
So you’re saying you were a librarian? 😂❤
Heck this is my wife’s favorite Crue song.
MC knows how to appreciate the beauty of a real woman. The girls in the places they mention are top notch. They are beautiful, have almost flawless bodies, and entertain without being too raunchy. FYI - The girl Vince (the lead singer) carries out of the bar is Sharice. He married her and had a daughter with her back in the day. Unfortunately, that little beauty herself died at a young age of some type of cancer and they soon divorced. It is portrayed in their movie "The Dirt." Hope you guys get a chance to watch it before your next MC reaction so you can let us know...unless you already have and I haven't seen that part.
Their concerts were always a blast!
I was 15 years old when this video came out. This video was considered soft core porn back in 1987. I think MTV wasn't even allowed to run the music video until after 10PM EST at night--hahaha. I remember this video fondly.....
Motley Crue was the biggest band in the world when this came out. For a little while anyway. Great times they were! 🤙🏼
Great reaction y'all! Motley Crue was one of the first "hair" bands I fell in love with!
The home video also had an unedited topless version of this video. And yes. Mic mars horribly underrated as a guitarist. Also I’m sure it’s still played in strip cubs to this day
Motley Crue is something else back in the day......my wife's favorite band mine is KISS; saw both in concert...insane shows for sure.
The 80's, what a ride! And yes, big hair on the ladies needs to come back!
Man, I'll tell you what...the thing that makes Motley so good was the good good riffs. Mick Mars wasn't trying to be Eddie Van Halen...
Micks in a class all by himself.
'You're all I need' is another really good one. Good Good riffs.
Amber, if you want a Crue ballad, check out “Without You” or “Your all I need”. The second one is a bit dark though. It’s a murderous ballad. :p
“Only Motley Crue would have a song like Girls, Girls Girls.”
…. … Steel Panther has entered the chat…
You guys make me smile every time I tune in. A job well done. Amber you are correct as rap is 10 times worse on women. Keep doing y’all’s thing and bringing it every day. 💯💕👍😊
Women made that happen. Guys werent talking bad about girls in 50s.
My brother took me to see them in Denver. My first concert ever. Great time
WOW had forgotten this one. In college in 1987 when this came out. It became kind of treasure hunt to go along the Gulf Coast from dive to the next to get things like T-shirt or beer mug some item to show u had been there. I remember the ones in Atlanta and Fort Lauderdale Were really packed after this song came out. Great memories of all those hair band when I had hair .
I saw this tour in 87.... Motley Crue was the headliner and Guns N Roses was the opening act. Incredible show!!!
Sounds like a good time!
Oh man, I would’ve loved to have seen that. Tho honestly would’ve preferred a switch between them. Motley Crue as the opener and GNR as the headliner. I just always preferred GNR.
Right on, White Snake opened here in Phoenix, my first concert with my new roommates after graduating HS and moving to the desert to go to school. I was the first person in the apartment and a dude walks in, spots the Maiden poster and bong and says in the strongest Tennessean accent, "we're gonna get along just fine". A group of us went, it was cool because we were all from different states in a new place and liked the same music.
Damn time flies..
This song was a check list for when I was travelling!
RIP ...Marble Arch..Vancouver Canada. 🇨🇦🤟🏼
Oh the 80's. I lived it. I loved it. I survived it (I think). And yes, it WAS all that! The only thing I don't miss? The small fortune spent on Rave hairspray, curling irons and ripping up perfectly good, brand new t-shirts. What a TIME to be alive. I'd go back in a heartbeat. It was wonderful!
This is some world class hard rock rhythm guitar...
Tommy and the girls fight over the last can of hair spray. Love it. Never had hair that teased up, but did have a ponytail when I played in a band in college. Mick was Mick. Just doing his own good thing. The whole band had a vibe, but the music was usually very solid. I liked them. Still do.
I was a Crue fan from the early 80’s. Then at a snooty college party, with upper crust wannabes, I heard this on the radio. I yelled for everyone to shut up, because the Boys were back.
Hell Yeah!
