☠ NEW & Exclusive To 'BSP Rock-News', John Corabi CANDIDLY Answers all Mötley Crüe & Fan Questions.

We recently sat down with One of the hardest-working singers in Rock, John Corabi, John chatted with our own 'Keri McCherry' where he candidly and openly about his time in MC. Nikki's beef with him, and his thoughts on Mick Mars retiring from touring. Staying on as a second guitarist after Vince Neil's Return, and much more.

That album with Corabi was awesome; it’s a shame it never got the credit it deserves.

[@ashfaultjungle]

So Fucking true, every song is great! It's all killer, no filler. I've worn out 3 cassettes and 4 CD's. They should have put it under a different name, it was right in line with the changing music style at the time.

[@dynamo4543]

its a shame it doesn't get the recognition it deserves, its definately better than from girls girls girls onward,no filler on it at all,they should've kicked Bob rock kept corabi & did generation swine with him & it wouldve ended up being a good album

[@MentaIPatient]

@@ashfaultjungle They still sell cassettes? Lol

[@brandonjackson5865]

It doesn’t sound dated like some of the other material it was ahead of its time and the drum and guitar sounds are incredible on it . Hammered is a killer song! Yep If it had come out under a different name, but think about it VanHalen did pretty good with a replacement singer . Motley Corabi was about a hundred times better than Sixx AM .

[@moonwork4378]

I loved the album John Corabi did with Motley. Have it on CD.

[@darrengray1239]

The album with John is still my favorite Crue album. So underrated.

[@jonasandersson3684]

I agree, and I think that Generation Swine is the opposite. Appart from 1-2 songs Generation Swine is probably the worst crap I've ever heard.

[@mason2430]

@@jonasandersson3684 It’s crap that I love. Call it a guilty pleasure album 😂

[@Obrian81]

Totally agree with Corabi.. I think Motley wanted Mick out, since John 5 is one of Nikki's best friends.. Mick is the reason I listen to Motley, his guitar sound is unbelievable!! I'm ready to see Mick's solo album come out & I wanna see Mick & Corabi get together again, they both work great together!

[@jaysonraphaelmurdock8812]

I heard somewhere that Jake E. Lee was rumored to replace Mick Mars at one point.

[@aceman1969nlb]

The Crue album with Corabi KICKED ASS!! And they were fn thunderous live. 👍👍👍👍

[@chasing_dragons]

I've always liked John Corabi. He's a real gentleman and has a good heart and good soul. No doubt about it, he is a heck of a musical talent. Agreed 100% with everyone that 1994 Motley Crue album he was on never gets old and is so good.

[@robwyldeofficial]

Played a few shows with John recently. He's the real deal and an all round great guy. Class act.

[@dustdevil9614]

I'm diehard Too Fast Shout Motley but the Corabi album is fantastic on every level

[@davemieze9021]

John in the Crue was so fresh. So aggressive. Too pure for Crue fans

[@frankl6938]

John Corabi is such an incredible talent! Love his music!

[@CB3Music]

John is an unsung hero in rock n roll... Super talent!

[@terryscarboro9152]

John was the best vocalist the Crue ever had period! Keep singing John with those awsome pipes!

[@19HuskyWolf70]

The Motley Crue album with JC is a masterpiece, they sounded raw, they had a mix of 80's, metal and grunge. They could have tweaked the band name to Motley Cruabi

[@DouglasSnodgrass-ex3ec]

That if funny 🤣

[@AceAskin]

Love John Corabi just telling it straight. Spent 4 days with him and he is just like this in real life. Straight shooter, wealth of information, and an amazing singer/songwriter/guitarist.

[@rachelbyington463]

Tough position to be put in. Tons of respect for this man who is clearly very talented and likeable.

[@jimbrady7443]

John is one of the top rock singers out there period. His contribution to whoever he joins is always top notch. His first Crue record was one of their best period.

[@mattrobinson4994]

John is so cool, and the ‘94 album is amazing and so much deeper lyrically.

[@brentschmoeckel1420]

Musically too

[@tonythompson4192]

He's a stand up guy , true rocker

[@AIRBORNERADIOACTUAL]

John seems just down to earth and is totally okay with the roll that he has in the bands history. He can totally take the heat and brush it off. Well done John keep moving forward man

[@stubbysmallpox]

It’s the only Motley I listen to. I always find something new in it, John is such a talent

[@thejusticeappalachianhomes1454]

This was a great interview! I was a huge Motley Crue fan and at the time was very upset at Vince being replaced. I never really accepted this album as a Motley Crue album and never gave it much of a chance. A few years later I've come to appreciate it and still love it. John is awesome and see it now as nothing less than brilliant. He's a good dude. I would see him live anytime over Motley Crue today.

[@rowdync]

Best Crue album is "Motely Crue" with John. The Scream and the Dead Daisies both rocked because of John.

[@patrickbreen1271]

John Corabi is awesome live acoustic and electric. Great writer,too! Also, his cover of "Seasons of Wither" is one of the best I have heard. Also, I would love to hear about The Scream. Loved that band and album.

[@theartist124]

I'll just drop this here for any who might not know and wants to hear more of John, check out The Scream band, they were great!

[@BeachCPA]

The Corabi album was Motley's absolute best. Period.

[@georgebarry8640]

I havent heard ANYTHING Corabi has recorded. But I can already tell...he is totally legit. Thanks, John for being real.

[@colico14]

Listen to "Hooligan's Holiday."

[@mattphillips2454]

Can't help but like Crabby. Seems a genuine dude and real nice guy. Love the way he speaks fondly of Mick.

[@joewolfe5370]

Best Crue album hands down

[@thomashargrove2991]

The Motley Crue album with John was by far the best music and vocals the band ever had

[@rticle15]

It just wasnt a Crue album.

[@williamberry8895]

That is correct. Gotta go with the times. It wasn't the time of girls girls girls. It was flannel leather and no hairspray and makeup. That album was perfect for those times I grew up in. I just was obsessed with Alice in chains and still am.

[@adam5744]

Totally agree it's underrated it's their hardest album and one of their best

[@adamcorcoran7338]

It can't touch Too Fast for Love or Shout at the Devil. No way in Hell.

[@sikkinixx6975]

I think Crabby is spot on with his assessment. Hell, Mick Mars discusses the Generation Swine era in the Dirt and his description of what happened during that era lines up with John's pretty well.

[@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle]

John is a guy who does not embellish unlike that fraud Nikki Sixx and Tom Lee...

[@55tmilam]

I agree! It sounds exactly like what mick described! And it sounds like typical corporate thinking always wanting more!

[@jessekauffman3336]

Corabi sounds like a great down to earth guy, great singer to.

[@inkslinger6156]

I’m not going to see Motley Crue without Mick. I grew up and got old listening to them play with Mick. Can’t do it

[@marvlouinski]

Not with that attitude

[@kevincurry4304]

John is an excellent guy with awesome talent.. Only problem he had was joining Motley... Not a bad decision, just a bad situation. I appreciate how down to earth he has always been.. His story never changes.

[@shaneomac1937]

Definitely one of my favourite Crue albums was with John. I loved early Vince albums as well but Corabi brought a new great sound

[@ponzo1967]

Hammered, Uncle Jack, Hooligans Holiday, Misunderstood, Til Death Do Us Part, great songs.

[@coolbeans8486]

Live wire, knock em dead kid, bastard, red hot , home sweet home,wild side cmon . Not even close

[@ashfaultjungle]

[@justinsixx90]

Yayah!!!

[@frankmarcella7572]

My old bar band used to cover “Power To The Music”. The audience ALWAYS thought it was a great ballsy original. And the I let them all know it was new crue. 🤯🤯🤯

[@axelki5748]

For me, I hugely preferred it to 'The Black Album.' The songs were better, the sound was better, the riffs absolutely crushed. The Corabi album came out around the same time as Soundgarden's Superunknown and King's X's Dogman and all three albums had a similar vibe: heavy, riffy, and powerful.

[@juliengoguen17]

Sometimes, to change the subject, it would be nice for John to be asked about "The Scream", "Union" and "Dead Daisies". Motley Crue has been talked about to death and I'm sure he's like to talk about other stuff he's done in his career. My 2 cents.

[@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle]

sure it would but let's bereal Crue is the biggest of the bands he was assocated with, Dead Daisies are awesome

[@toms4442]

Love UNION !!! Totally underrated!

[@MrSheckstr]

I dunno, it’s sorta like asking Newstead about Flotsam and Jetsam

[@user-ux1vj9vx7s]

@@MrSheckstr But Flotsam and Jetsam is the future.. Metallica is the past

[@morpety]

Great listening to you John Corabi!

[@jcarley99]

The Crue album with Corabi is by far the best music they put out. If only they had changed their name they might still be putting out music today. I know it will never happen, but would love to see a reunion with this lineup.

[@rezolution6272]

I used to be a Motley fan. I thought the first 2 records were great and parts of Dr. Feelgood. But I was pretty much done with Motley and moving onto heavier bands at that point. When Motely 94 came out it I was blown away by how much better the music had gotten and especially the vox. That is the ONLY Motley that I still listen to, from time to time. I can't name one song after Corabi left. But I can tell you that I became a big fan of the Dead Daises down the road when Corabi was on vox. Honestly, I wouldn't pay 10.00 to see a Motley Crue show now. I'm shocked by how many people still love and listen to them on a regular basis, I suppose people get to relive the memories of their childhood and I can respect that.

[@datubeda]

I've seen them a lot. Like, a lot a lot. Nostalgia is definitely part of it... but honestly, Mick still sounds sooooo good live, even up til last year. Without him, I have absolutely zero interest. And yeah, '94 was on a whole other level. That album still sounds incredible today. Definitely my favorite, but hard to compare to the others because it's its own thing.

[@scottmccracken2240]

Crabby awesome guy, awesome writer, Ive loved most all he's done. Great interview. Thank you!

[@joaopinheiro6467]

Great, great singer , a true Rocker and an example for the new generations .😄🤘🤘🤘🤙🤙🌈🌝☀🎸🎸

[@MrRumorg]

John Corabi is a fantastic artist! Much respect for his music.

[@SteveKaynan]

I'm seeing a ton of similarities here with what John is going through as with Jeff Scott Soto and the Journey situation. Many people commenting knocking John Corabi etc. But this guy is very to the point. Doesn't to have any ulterior motives when answering, and really all he's been doing is "answering questions." How realistic he is being about how people want to see the original four members of Motley Crue and how it's Vince's voice/ tone that is the ingredients of the band....really shows how down to earth John is and that his ego is not in the way.

[@LC-qt8ms]

I went to the concert with John at Pine knob in michigan back in the day . 1 of the best Crue concerts .

[@davidhume4559]

This interview inspired me to listen to the Corabi Crue album for the first time in 20 years. Holy crap that is a great album. Ranks right up there with their best early stuff.

[@TheKevinNewsom]

The self-titled album was outstanding.

[@just4fundrummer-668]

Followed Corabi after Crüe. I liked Union, DD, ESP and got introduced to The Scream. Great talent! Met him in 2012 in Myrtle Beach, SC when he opened for Cinderella Talked for 20mins about music in general.

[@jimmyvanzeno]

The Motley album with The Crab is easily the best album the band ever made.

[@danveneziano565]

John and mick are a class act and the crue album with John was the best crue album

[@FUNNYSHORTS7119]

John's new book out is killer too he's one of the most underrated singers ever

[@williambroadstreet3353]

Talk about honesty. Corabi was on a hiding to nothing joining MC. hat record 'Crue' was HEAVY, and Mick and JC from what I have read worked really really well together, JC took some pressure off Mick's playing, and like the legend SpaceAce when he left KISS, he did not like the direction the band was going in [The Elder], Mick has guts, sure the 'Smokin' record was a bit poppy but it had blues influence and Mick is a massive blues fan. My take JC's one of the most decent honest muso's I've seen. Mick imo just got sick of milking the cash cow and has integrity, AND his spinal problems as he is the oldest member by a significant timeframe years wise - he wanted to retire from MC. He's financially set for life, has his own material. Mick arguably is one of 'the' greatest modern day axemen in the industry. Sixx is a talented writer but imo has contradicted himself so many times I just turn off to him. Tommy has Trump Derangement hysterically, and his son punched him out. Always loved 'TBone' the most until he started ranting about President Trump EVERY day for years. I've always been a CrueHead but I will NEVER pay to see them again.

[@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle]

John added a lot of depth to Crue, he is a musician in addition to having better chops than Vince. crue is a low class band, who way outkicked their coverage, good for them

[@barra6709]

The only likeable one is Mick. The rest are a bunch of knob heads.

[@MrChico5150]

the Motley/Corabi is my favorite , i saw them 5 times on that tour , and it was the incredible , i miss those days

[@WhiteDevil-du8ne]

The Crue album with Corabi is one of their best, but I still put Shout at the Devil and Dr. Feelgood above it. Too Fast for Love is also great.

[@joesanders3528]

Great interview 🤙

[@johnenigma8506]

I would've loved to have heard Corabi's vocals on Generation Swine.

[@Mr.MooseMAN1.0]

I saw this tour in 94 at the Mirage in Minneapolis. Untouchable show. Carabiner sang Vince’s tunes better than Vince…and the energy of the band was electric. One of the best shows I’ve ever seen.

[@chriskarp1877]

Saw that show in Merrillville In. Same tour outstanding!

[@Ruleof2Review]

We are living the wrong timeline man. This album is perfect, and Corabi made the band so much better. It’s the fans who are to blame for what happened. I’ll never forgive them for what they did by not embracing this amazing music.

[@coachsaldana5708]

What a great singer. Loved Motley Crue 94. Bought both Red and Yellow cover CD's. Bought Quarternary. The Japanese version. And the bootleg live video of them. Great album. It's my second favorite Crue album next to "Shout". So good. John Corabi is a great singer/songwriter. Guitarist . Solid dude.

[@zakkjagneaux2600]

Poison Apples is so good , makes my gym playlist often . Vince , much like DLR in VH , is not a musician but an entertainer. Vince on the Feelgood tour was solid , to great at points . John is a gritty musician , vocal , guitarist and writer . Motley fired a Mercedes and hired a 4x4 Diesel Truck , and it was too much for the average Crue fan .

[@bowslap]

Crab’s comments regarding Mick kinda confirms what I’ve thought for years…and it confirms WHY I didn’t care for much of anything put forth by the band past the ‘94 album.

[@kkwok9]

Loved the Motley Crue album. Hard hitting rock that was reminiscent of their first two albums.

[@hccarder]

The Corabi Crue album is my favorite Crue album.

MC had their peak in the 80's plain and simple. I got hooked on these bands in the 80's . I didn't care what albums they put out in the 90's. Ratt, extreme, poison, kiss, bon jovi etc. Metallica is really one of the bands that peaked in the 90's who got started in the 80's.

Loved the Corabi record with Crue... in my honest opinion much of what they did was the stuff you heard in the 2000s. Crue was just ahead of their time imo. Too bad they chased the money and weren't patient.

[@stm113]

The “94 Crue album was the best album of ‘94 and really the best Crüe album period. Had it not been released u der the name Motley Crue, it would have changed the rock world.

[@meatwad1]

John's story about people complaining about bands and then going to see them reminds me of an experience I had in the late 1980's. I was friends with a photographer who knew a prominent hair band in Northeastern Pennsylvania. I went to one of their shows with him. While the band was playing, the lead guitarist's girlfriend badmouthed him behind his back nonstop. I remember thinking, "If you hate the guy so much, why are you with him?" She was only with him because she thought he was a bigshot, so being his girlfriend made her a bigshot too."

[@scottblack9213]

Corabi got shafted 100%, The 1994 album is their best - Rocks production is sublime. Crue were a joke in the early 90s and Corabi brought their first piece of credibility - if they had of continued with Vince in the early 90s they would have ended up a running joke like Ratt.
