Title: Motley Crue live on channel 4
Post by: _tom_ on February 26, 2006, 01:37:09 AM
Tonight, it started at about 10 I think. Anyway, the guitarist (Mick Mars is it?!) gets some bloody awesome tone! Anyone know his live rig? I didnt even like Motley Crue before tonight but now I think I'm gonna have to acquire a few albums. Probably a pointless thread, but I guess I'm just excited theres good music on TV for once  :D

Just buy "Red,White and Crue", got it all there. Or "Music to crash your car to" vol. 1 and 2.
Try and see if you can rent the Crue Reunion Tour on DVD, it's VERY cool.
Amazing Mick can play like that with the crippling disease he has, props to him!

I think I heard somewhere Mick Mars has a rare disease that is slowly fusing the bones in his spine together? Please, correct me if I'm wrong, I'm just sure that's what I've heard somewhere. :?

Yep
Mick has a bone disease which I cannot pronounce let alone write.
He is in a BAD way!

In the video they have "Titty Cam".

Nikki starts (with camcorder linked to the stage big screens) then says, "Hey, this is a home camcorder, Tommy, you know how to use one of these don't ya?" lol.
Then Tommy goes titty hunting LOL

Yes Mick has a bone disease which drove him to alcoholism (before the Dr Feelgood album).

Shout at the Devil and Dr Feelgood are the best albums. Girls Girls Girls has one good song, and same with Theatre of Pain (due to major drug intake). Avoid anything after Dr Feelgood.

Get Music to crash your car to...

Volume 1 has the original  Too fast for Love that was on the Leathur label - basically home recorded and was my fave album from 1981-1989

Shout at the devil is there too.

Also recommend Dr Feelgood, and for a different flavour try Motley Crue which featured John Coarabi on vocals - much more contemporary and the guitar tones are bloody awesome

I rather like the New tattoo album which had all of the original lineup minus Tommy who wasnt getting on with Vince neil at the time. the drums are handled by Randy Castillo (ex ozzy and lita Ford)

Guilty of being a Sunset Strip anorak from that era to some extent!!

If you haven't read the Motley Crue book yet (you know the one), then you owe it to yourself to do so.  You don't need to be a fan at all, it's just funny as hell  :D

So far the songs off Dr Feelgood are my favourites, the title track being my favourite song, Kickstart My Heart being the next best I've heard so far! Might have to check out that book aswell if its really that funny..

You should make Shout at the Devil next - musically Too Fast For Love is similar but not as strong an album. I used to have the vinyl version of Shout at the Devil which had a matt black sleeve with a gloss pentagram *does devils horns*.  They ditched that style after their first two albums because of all the other glam metal bands who copied their style - Ratt etc.

+1 for that!  There is some crazy stuff related in there. It's amazing that any of those guys are still alive ....

PS: my fave "book about a being in rock bands" in Rhinos, Winos, and Lunatics by Deke Leonard from the Man band.  I read that without having heard a note of the band's music and it was still fab. :)  Good stories and surprisingly (if that's not too prejudicial) literate.

Ratt didn't copy Motley's style - they had their own thing going and were there at the same time. In fact they were the best of mates. Warren De Martini did steal a lot of his style from George Lynch however.....

Ratt got a break sooner thaan Motley when Round and Round got the airplay and MTV rotation.

When Too fast for Love was re-recorded /remixed by Roy Thomas Baker for the Elektra label it lost much of it's raw charm - the original did have a certain facemelting sound to it.

The first Ratt EP is well worth checking out as is their first album (Out of the cellar) and both feature a certain Tawny Kitaen on the cover who was dating guitarist Robin Crosby  long before she married Whitesnake's David Coverdale.

This is the same Robin Crosby  who was nicknamed "King" in the streetgang he was in with Motley's Nikki Sixx and who had a signature flying V made by Jackson and was known as the Jackson King V

:D He was also bloody tall as well. That`s one of the reasons he used to give for having guitars made for him, he could get `em to make the bodys bigger !!!

Warren DiMartini great player absolute Lynch clone though !!! "Out Of The Cellar" had some great tunes on it.

I remember her in the videos for the 1987 album with her sliding about on David's Jag. That was the album that really first got me into rock music (even if its embarassing to say it).

I think the reason I mentioned Ratt was because they were mentioned quite a bit in The Dirt.  I can't remember exactly who they accused of stealing their sound, but there is definitely a style difference between Shout at the Devil and Theatre of Pain (which is only worth owning for Smokin In The Boys Room).  It might have been that they just ditched the make-up because other bands copied them.
