Bob Rock, the producer behind Metallica's Black Album (among others), is the producer for this album. He has helped create some of the most sonically perfect albums ever. This is by far the best Motley Crue ever sounded. Anyone who can make Vince Neil sound like a good singer deserves a medal.
It was a glorious time When this came out. Rock was king and I enjoyed listening to all genres of rock from slayer to poison and everything in between. It was a great time to be a rock music/ heavy metal fan
"Live Wire" off their first album Too Fast for Love. Then off Shout at the Devil, "In the Beginning/ Shout at the Devil" and "Too Young to Fall in Love"
Slice of your Pie might hit them right, it's just about the sleeziest shit ever but in the best possible way. Somehow has aged beautifully. I'd also say "Wild Side" would be a nice one to check.
In fact, I remember watching a MTV News bit from during her Rythm Nation tour that showed Janet dancing on her tour bus to "Dr. Feelgood, " saying that was her pump up song or something like that. In addition, that second riff that was commented on as less likable is what her brother Michael told famed studio guitarist, Tim Pierce, to be inspired by for a middle section of a song Michael was writing called, "Black or White." So go put on "Black or White" and that middle heavy section, where in the video Michael is singing through fire, a guitar part comes in and it is very close to that riff to Dr. Feelgood. Those two Jacksons loved this song and it inspired them.
True story: James Hetfield first heard the song with how strong the bass and drums are, found-out Bob Rock produced it, and immediately set-about getting him to produce their next album. That album was The Black Album and well over 31 million units sold later, Metallica were then well on their way to becoming THE BIGGEST Metal band of all-time. 🤘🏻🐻🤘🏻 Now, do "Power To The Music," "Hooligan's Holiday" and "Misunderstood" from their incredible 1994 self-titled album with John Corabi instead of Vince Neil. 🤘🏻🐻🤘🏻
"Rat-tailed Jimmy is a secondhand hood, deals out in Hollywood"... oh, the lyrics, the sound, the chugging POWER of this song! Like, I don't know anyone who doesn't jam out to this.
No he isn't. Stop using that word incorrectly. Mick Mars is very very highly rated as a guitarist and songwriter. Anyone who knows anything about rock music knows just how influential and talented he is.
The band was (allegedly) sober when they made this album. And I saw recently Sebastian Bach (singer originally from Skid Row), talking about that on Steve-O's podcast and Steve's like, "Yeah that bummed me out when I heard that, I never really could listen to Dr. Feelgood after that." And Seb was like, "Well, I was there, and I can tell you right now... You can go ahead and start liking that album again because that was pure bogus man!" 😂😂
Steve-O doesnt like a record because the band were sober when they made it? Says more about his addicted ass than anything else. Pigs will fly if Steve is clean 🤣
@@psychotictactoe no. Bob rock took away their edge like he did with Metallica. It's a pretty common opinion. The trash motley Crue releases today is unlistenable.
EASILY in the top 10 of all time! Highly under-rated, especially considering his physical limitations later in his career. He has creativity and skills to match his unique sound!
Me and my cousin used to work in an office with a man named Dr. Bill Goode. We’d always be singing it with his name subbed in. I still think of that every time I hear this song.
They were ALL OVER MTV with track after track from this album at the time. They were a big damn deal. (I know you know this; I'm just leaving this comment here for the benefit of the young'uns.)
I enjoy that you point out that what you describe as "gimmicky" can be a strength! Too many singers learn to sing and try and sing to sound a certain "proper" way... we need more singers who have CHARACTER. I prefer to use character than gimmicky - there's so many things that can be done with the human voice, throw the rules out the window, do something different!
I think that ties into what they said about it being cheesy but also great. I don't think it IS cheesy, but I think it's so close to the edge, like there's just a hint of cheese from whatever it was touching on your plate or something lol. It has something kinda gross about it but you also kinda like it, it's like Blue Cheese! 😂😂
The only thing i will say about Motley Crue is that they had ALOT of help by other musicians to create their songs. I can only imagine what magic they get help on live in concert.
Lads, just saying, after 6 years of this channel with so much having been shown on it, it's about time you lads started bringing out some Top 5's. Drummers. Metal bands. Rock bands. Rap songs. Rappers. Anything. You're attitudes have changed that much over time that as a fan of the channel I'd love to see what you have in mind. And I know I'm not alone on this.
More Sabbath, please! You guys havn't done After Forever off the Master Of Reality record, yet. It kicks major ass.. Oh, and I know you'v done War Pigs.. But, for as much as you guys like the studio cut, you really owe it to yourselves to react to the live version from Paris, 1972. The band is in their prime and at their best. And Ward is a Savage! Trust me.. Just do it.
S.O.S. was terrible! They ripped off Poison's Nothing But A Good Time. The Crue ripping off Poison is akin to blasphemy. This song was alright, but the album as a whole sucked. Especially considering the four that came before it.
Motley Crue utilizes the mixture of rockabilly and metal. That's basically their signature. That was their method to creating catchy and really fun rhythms, using swing. The album Girls Girls Girls is soaked with it.
This is a party for the ears... It feels like late night debauchery, teenage wildness, a surge of raw energy that makes you feel invincible... Just a great FU
80s were FM radio. And LPs. Everything from Madonna, Hewey Lewis, Motley Crue. On the Radio to METALLICA ,anthrax, tribe called quest ,and Dela soul on the LPs. Loved the 80s it's ok. Even a little country music. That was when everyone got along. Before the media and politicians divided us
Main riff is lifted from Love like Blood from Killing Joke. If you want the source of who a lot of these bands emulate and are the source of inspiration listed to some KJ. In particular the album Pandemonium. They brought out the D tuned Nu Metal 5 years before everyone else jumped on the bandwagon. Song Millennium. Check it out
Right around the time I first got into music, this track was big. I remember seeing the official vid many times and loving it. Because it tells a story, of “Dr. Feelgood” who’s a low-level dealer, then rises through the ranks. He amasses an empire of wealth but in the end it’s destroyed by the law that turned on him. It’s a story that’s been done in movies before, but the vid is still fire. And the song itself is just a good, hard rocker from a band that did lighter stuff other times.
I always picture the part right after the second solo with the distorted “come play with Dr Feelgood” as being the moment the “patient” got hit with a prescription of something that made them crash, and there’s a pseudo-police siren effect right after
I used to really love this song until I heard "Love Like Blood" from Killing Joke. Now I still like it but I can't hear it without thinking of that song.
The ones that need to be done are Primal Scream and one from the version of the band with a different singer - Holligans Holiday or Power To The Music. That album without Vince was their grooviest and closest to a style that you guys would like most. Less ‘hair metal’ and more 90s hard rock with great production and huge thick riffs.
80’s hard rock ( we didn’t call it hair metal), was the top 40 music of the day. Everyone listened to it. It was the most popular music on the planet interspersed with Michael Jackson and Madonna.
To me, this was their best album. I went to see them in concert one time and had THE best seats. 2nd floor, at the rails and directly over the stage! Great time.
Yeah, I'm not a big fan of Motley Crue, but I admit the songs are very catchy. And I wouldn't choose to listen to this band, but if one of their songs comes on the radio, I wouldn't be changing the channel.
For a glam metal band, they always had a very heavy sound. They kept the bottom end up, so to speak, w/ the equal emphasis on the bass & drums. Listen to Poison after this band & you'll notice the difference in the sonic quality.
Looks to Kill is my vote. This song here is my favorite song by this band. Yes we partied to this A LOT Their whole Motly Crue album is fire, but check out Home Sweet home. It has an awesome guitar solo.
Saw the Dr. Feelgood tour in 1990. Rose Garden, Portland Oregon. Billed as the loudest mother f**king tour on earth. No doubt about it. I went to see Tesla who opened for them, and they were awesome as usual. But I had a whole new appreciation for Crue. Had an absolute blast.
Bob Rock, the producer behind Metallica's Black Album (among others), is the producer for this album. He has helped create some of the most sonically perfect albums ever. This is by far the best Motley Crue ever sounded. Anyone who can make Vince Neil sound like a good singer deserves a medal.
😂❤
Great point! I never thought of it that way, but...FACT!
Bob was the master of "big" sound for sure.
Amazing how Bob could uplift Motley Crue, but totally wreck a band like Metallica. Black album was WAYYYY too commercial and processed
this comment is so funny, and not far from truth actually, reg Vince Neil...
It was a glorious time When this came out. Rock was king and I enjoyed listening to all genres of rock from slayer to poison and everything in between. It was a great time to be a rock music/ heavy metal fan
Exactly this!
Too Young to Fall in Love is their most underrated song.
Livewire is more underrated
I love that song! 🤘
Yeah, it is!!!
Primal Scream
Underrated is far to cliche.
Over used bit it’s a great song
This and Kickstart My Heart are absolute bangers. Well worth cranking the volume to the max
And girls girls girls
Never listen to Kickstart My Heart while driving unless you wanna speed.
@@argoth83 Wild Side too for sure lol
"Live Wire" off their first album Too Fast for Love. Then off Shout at the Devil, "In the Beginning/ Shout at the Devil" and "Too Young to Fall in Love"
Slice of your Pie might hit them right, it's just about the sleeziest shit ever but in the best possible way. Somehow has aged beautifully. I'd also say "Wild Side" would be a nice one to check.
Man they would dig live wire for sure
Yeah, Live Wire is probly my favorite song by them.
Live Wire certainly!
Piece of your action too
Trivia tidbit: Janet Jackson credited this song as the musical inspiration for her song Black Cat because she loved the groove.
Janet was looking to rock and was, who can I get? Vernon from Living Color and Nuno from Extreme?! That'll work!
In fact, I remember watching a MTV News bit from during her Rythm Nation tour that showed Janet dancing on her tour bus to "Dr. Feelgood, " saying that was her pump up song or something like that. In addition, that second riff that was commented on as less likable is what her brother Michael told famed studio guitarist, Tim Pierce, to be inspired by for a middle section of a song Michael was writing called, "Black or White." So go put on "Black or White" and that middle heavy section, where in the video Michael is singing through fire, a guitar part comes in and it is very close to that riff to Dr. Feelgood. Those two Jacksons loved this song and it inspired them.
Seems doubtful since both albums released in August of '89. Maybe she was thinking about a different song.
RIP to my old friend TW. 35 years ago we blasted this with your T-Tops down. I miss you.

You need to play “Looks That Kill”….one of their best!
True
Mick Mars is criminally underrated!
No he isn't. Stop using that word incorrectly. Mick Mars is very very highly rated as a guitarist and songwriter.

Not a glam metal fan at all but we know Mick Mars
He's not underrated at all and you're looking for upvotes.
@@mrtoothless I dont give a flip about up votes, this isnt reddit.
@@Ranman1 he's not underrated. People always say he's the most legitimate musician in the band.
One of the gnarliest glam metal songs ever
Next up ....... 'Primal Scream!!'
That pocket between the bass and drums is epic. 🔥
The band was (allegedly) sober when they made this album. And I saw recently Sebastian Bach (singer originally from Skid Row), talking about that on Steve-O's podcast and Steve's like, "Yeah that bummed me out when I heard that, I never really could listen to Dr. Feelgood after that."

lol, Sebastian Bach is hilarious when he tells stories about those days.

@@psychotictactoe Steve o has been sober for like a decade or more now.
@@listenup7284 So he says, but he hates a record made by sober people? hypocrite much?
@@psychotictactoe no. Bob rock took away their edge like he did with Metallica. It's a pretty common opinion. The trash motley Crue releases today is unlistenable.
Mick Mars absolutely kills it on this album. He sometimes gets overshadowed by the other 3 but musically is the mastermind of the band.
EASILY in the top 10 of all time! Highly under-rated, especially considering his physical limitations later in his career. He has creativity and skills to match his unique sound!
Me and my cousin used to work in an office with a man named Dr. Bill Goode. We’d always be singing it with his name subbed in. I still think of that every time I hear this song.
lol, that's awesome.
OMG this is hilarious and I'd do it so much to the doctor he would absolutely hate me. Lol!
Primal Scream is one of there best. Its on their Decade of Decadence Album. I think yall will like it. Its fire!
Their last good song imo.
The stuff that sounds "cheesy" now was cool then.
They were ALL OVER MTV with track after track from this album at the time. They were a big damn deal. (I know you know this; I'm just leaving this comment here for the benefit of the young'uns.)
@@baronvonsatan I figured lol
@@baronvonsatan Yep, no joke, they dominated radio and MTV with this.

In the 80's most of the singers tried to sound like Dio, and it got boring really fast.
I was 11 when this dropped.... If it was on Casey Kasem's top 100 i would have heard this every day. 80's as a kid/pre teen was amazing!
Their production has always been top notch....
I absolutely loved their live shows. The tour they did with Ozzy was unforgettable.
I saw them, opening for Ozzy, on the "Bark At The Moon" tour, when they had just released "Shout At The Devil!" Great concert!
I saw MC in Vegas 1989......Now I'm watching Lost in Vegas listening to MC.....Thanks for the video......
Just in terms of pure, technical sound, the opening of this song might be the best sound mix ever recorded.
I can't really argue with that.
lol I think you captured all the discord audio notifications with this video I was trying to figure out where that sound was coming from.
All the beeps!! Yeah I think you’re right
I kept jumping over to Discord to see where the pings were coming from, and there weren't any! 🙂
Haha, I thought I was going crazy
Thank you for warning me lol I'm glad you said it or it wouldn't been messing with me the whole time
The anthem to strip clubs worldwide "Girls Girls Girls" and the very underrated "Too Young To Fall In Love" are definitely worth a listen.
That opening sounds like it would fit nicely on AIC' sDirt
It’s a copy of Killing Joke’s ‘Love Like Blood’
The Cult - She Sells Sanctuary next!!
it's on their Patreon.
@@MsAlliwannadoisdance damn. I havent looked thru all those yet so i must have missed it
I went to that concert when I was a teen...it was crazy
That entire album is an absolute slammer 🤟🏻
Mick Mars is one of the most underrated guitarists. The man is a riff machine!
He's not underrated at all and you're looking for upvotes.
He is??
I've seen MC many times since the 80's. Always a BANGER. My ears rang for days!!
The discord pings really add to this reaction.
It was driving me nuts! Kept looking at mine like something was going on. Took me almost til the vid was done to figure out it was them
@@MrPickerd looooool me too. gdit
Yall always have good reactions and insight and articulate how you are feeling about certain parts of the song.. no matter the genre.
The only thing i will say about Motley Crue is that they had ALOT of help by other musicians to create their songs. I can only imagine what magic they get help on live in concert.
i really stopped being a fan of Motley Crue a long time ago, but holy shit the mix on it and those drums sound killer in the intro.

Shout out to girls, girls, girls. My 15 year old self didn’t know such places existed until I saw that video. I was a sheltered child.
I was so into 80s hair metal, motley crew, guns and fucken roses, poison, warrant. It was great stuff.
Michael Jackson’s daughter, Paris, has this album’s cover as a tattoo.
More Sabbath, please!

Love your channel, thanx fellas
Another good one from this album is S.O.S, and Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)
"Don't Go Away Mad" is such a fun song, ha.
S.O.S. was terrible! They ripped off Poison's Nothing But A Good Time. The Crue ripping off Poison is akin to blasphemy. This song was alright, but the album as a whole sucked. Especially considering the four that came before it.

The correct way to listen to Dr. Feelgood is with the intro track T'NT (Terror 'N Tinseltown)
80s were FM radio. And LPs. Everything from Madonna, Hewey Lewis, Motley Crue. On the Radio to METALLICA ,anthrax, tribe called quest ,and Dela soul on the LPs. Loved the 80s it's ok. Even a little country music. That was when everyone got along. Before the media and politicians divided us

Yeah Killing Joke is great.
Hooligans Holiday is a banger
that whole album is killer
I will never get enough of talking about that album. Corabi was a genius on it.

Ryan is trying to contain his inner grunge. You don't wanna like glam metal but you do!
Y’all need to do Motley Crue- Primal Scream!
What’s up guys keep it going I enjoy your reaction videos. I wish yall the best rock on!!!🤘
When this was new, I remember this being the psych-up music in the locker room before wrestling meets
Saw this tour on 1/16/90 in NEW ORLEANS, they opened with this.
Yeah man, I knew you would like it, the intro groove part, it´s real metal, I love it. The rest is much different, but this break makes it great.
I checked my Discord like 17 times! LOL!!! Too funny guys! You got us!! Great video and reaction as always!!

I used to really love this song until I heard "Love Like Blood" from Killing Joke. Now I still like it but I can't hear it without thinking of that song.
It seems that the intro riff was influenced by "Love Like Blood" by Killing Joke.
Even my mom liked this song back in the day. She said it sounded like a rumba 😊
It's Bobby Black from Black Plague! Props to anyone who knows WTH I'm talking about. 😂🤘
Booty time, booty time, 'cross the USA.......booty time, booty time...hey hey hey!!! Zu Zu Petals!!!

John Hiatt-Feels Like Rain, Have A Little Faith In Me, or dozens of others. America’s most underrated singer songwriter.
Great songwriting but if I had to guess why never bigger? His voice. Happens all the time, the best writers have the worst voices.
@@robcressey7228 I LOVE his voice! To each his own, but I think it has so much character. But I know he is an acquired taste for many.
Need to do W.A.S.P “The Idol” guys, amazing song, guitar solo and drummer. Probably the best power ballad from the hair metal genre.
that's a dragged out song, I can see them shitting all over it
Ya, that song only really works in the context of the whole album. These guys wouldn't get it.
Greatest strip club band of all time!
Too Young To Fall In Love
You should check out Looks That Kill, or if you want something more obscure that's an absolute banger, check out Knock 'em Dead Kid
The ones that need to be done are Primal Scream and one from the version of the band with a different singer - Holligans Holiday or Power To The Music.

THIS ALBUM WAS PRODUCED BY BOB ROCK. SAME THAT DID METALLICA BLACK ALBUM.
YES!! This song will forever remind me of Brittany Murphy in the movie Spun when she’s on stage at the strip club. Great reaction guys!!
To me, this was their best album. I went to see them in concert one time and had THE best seats. 2nd floor, at the rails and directly over the stage! Great time.
Hearing someone say bass work for a Motley Crue song is something, lol
I absolutely love you guys..cool ass stuff..keep doin you guys..
The video that goes along with this song is awesome.
Ten seconds to love
Check out Primal Scream.
That solo is vicious!
My absolute favorite Crue song!
“Walk this way…”
Love the channel guys
All Motley Crue members are alive
George mentioned RIP to the singer but Vince Neil is very much alive 😎
Razzle isn't.
I think his RIP was in reference to Peter Steele
Motley Crue - Hooligan's Holiday
The best album they released after Shout At The Devil
Yeah, I'm not a big fan of Motley Crue, but I admit the songs are very catchy.
And I wouldn't choose to listen to this band, but if one of their songs comes on the radio, I wouldn't be changing the channel.
And don't forget that Tommy Lee is the drummer who played in a ROTATING CAGE for some of their tours. Sick in the best way, ha.
Need a Girls, Girls, Girls reaction 🤣
Fact: Any rock song uses a cowbell tends to groove
Put this with Kickstart My Heart and you got back to back speeding tickets. And the only 2 good Motley Crue songs.
My first speeding ticket . I was playing Kickstart my heart...😂
Bullshit! These guys had a bunch of great songs in the 80's. This album was by far their weakest. Their first two albums were absolute classics.
The drums on this album were so clean
Listen to the drums on their '94 album. One of the best sounding albums I've ever heard.
For a glam metal band, they always had a very heavy sound. They kept the bottom end up, so to speak, w/ the equal emphasis on the bass & drums. Listen to Poison after this band & you'll notice the difference in the sonic quality.
Looks to Kill is my vote.
This song here is my favorite song by this band. Yes we partied to this A LOT Their whole Motly Crue album is fire, but check out Home Sweet home. It has an awesome guitar solo.
Guys, you have to react to King Crimson. Either the son "Epitaph" or "Starless".
It's like 70's Tool
Great comments guys. Back in the day, I was so aware of how metal that intro was!
Girls Girls Girls
Banger groove
@@wolflarson71 Dirty sleazy groove, only GnR had anything that competed.
That intro was pinched wholesale from ‘Love Like Blood’ by Killing Joke

Saw that same tour in NY. Once they popped up out of the stage, it was on.
That LL Cool G and your absolute favourite, Eminem, reaction to Murdergram Deux, really got to drop soon
If you haven’t yet, you really need to do Girls, Girls, Girls!
this album bangs
