This is so good. Mick actually moves around the stage and looks alive. Vince sings better than on the record. If this is what Crue looked like in 1981 it's no wonder they became world famous in 3 years. Honestly this sounds better than what's on Too Fast For Love. And yes I realize we're looking at two separate takes spliced together, doesn't matter much.
Bob Douglass it’s really cool seeing mick look alive now days he can’t even turn his head left or right it’s sad what a disease will do to you in such a short time
It sounds like a ball of treble mixed in a garbage can. It has no mid or bass presence. It’s complete garbage! It sounds like an 80’s Peavey treble amp you could buy for $40… 🤣
I saw them in Memphis, TN in 1988 I was barely 14 yrs old then, went with two of my best girlfriends, and one of their stepdad’s, he was only like 7 years older than us! Tommy went up in the air while playing drums…was the most epic experience of my life at that young age!! Have been a hard core fan ever since!!! Their songs are still on my playlist today!!!✌🏻
am i the only one that think Vince used to had such a great moves on stage? I really enjoyed whatching all videos from Motley crue and seeing Vince soo sexual and energetic all the time, (during that era) he actually could dance... couldn't he? i think there's just a few vocals that can actually do it....Anyways....Love Motley crue! :D
Number 1, this era, gotta have a badass front man....vince most definitely. David l Roth, mick jagger still, Scott Weiland. Had to prove ur talent then. Now, look, clicks, all electronically produced trash. Internet kids rule the market sadly. Worse is it's infected all countries....barf....love raw 1st crue album....talent, people were nicer, manners, little crime, had fun. Always went out everywhere alone. That's over now.
Yep, saw them at Magic Mountain in 1981 and this was their look and sound. Electric and raw. Blew my 15 year old brain away. The tall cans in the parking lot didn't hurt either. Wish they could have kept this direction, but I can't blame them for grabbing the money.
@@mzkoption226 Thanks man, shoot, they are playing in LA this weekend too, but I just watched some 2022 video. Oof. No amount of tall cans makes vince look and sound like a musician. Or would they? Maybe better to watch this on loop and keep the memories?
Nikki Vanilli may not play bass well, but he sure put together a juggernaut. That's why I have a vintage Nikki Sixx t-shirt. (me: high school & college in the 70s, party hardy in the 80s)
This is actually the take me to the top demo, you can tell by the fact that you hear the piano in the background and there’s backing vocals while neither mick or Nikki have microphones
one of the best Motley songs without a doubt It's wonderful to be able to see these videos at this time. in the 80's and 90's you hardly saw it on tv, we could only see it on MTV my favorite show was "headbangers ball", i never missed a single show and even less when motley was announced I grew up listening and watching Motley, which for me represents my childhood and adolescence Motley Crue forever 🤟
This isn't live!!! It's lip synced!! The proof there's no microphones in front of mick or Nikki yet background vocals. Watch and listen it's obvious they've been doing it from day 1
@@freeZe1989 I get it but what does the title read? Live 1981! Just like the movie the dirt and Nikki's book they embellish things rather than giving a factual account. Like Nikki saying randy taught him slick black Cadillac and his account of his audition with quiet riot. Read what Kevin Dubrow said about the audition. Some of us were around I was at the first show and previously seen London shows. I went to school with their first photographer and lived down the street in cerritos where they did their first photo shoot. I like the music but the b.s. is ridiculous and the amount effort to cover the lies is absurd. Nikki taking bass lessons during covid? After 40 years of playing you should be giving lessons. Watch and listen to them at the 83 us festival that's live without backing tracks. The truly amazing thing is Vince can't sing Nikki can barley play bass and people think it's great and buy tickets
@@footfungus191 no its not because of that neither. Theres just something called aging. Its as fucking simple as that, nobody looks the same in their late 50s then they did in their 20s
Mick is like a punky Vinnie Vincent, Vince is like a punky DLR, Nikki looks like a reject from the New York Dolls and Tommy has that John Bonham just-behind-the-beat kick drum that makes it heavy yet with a tight groove. Too Fast For Love was like Creatures of the Night by Kiss meets Damaged by Black Flag. It was the best album of the early 80s. (Sorry Kajagoogoo)

I remember seeing a clip of this on their 'uncensored' video and wishing they would have played the entire thing. Now, 38 years later, here we are.
It's still astonishing to me that such a large sound comes from a single guitarist that's also below average height. Mick Mars is vastly underrated.
It’s sounds like a tin can. It’s like the worst guitar sounds you can get… 🤦🏼♂️

There’s great guitar sounds from the 60’s & 70’s so that’s not an excuse.
