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  :twisted:

+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.

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.


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.
