First Time Hearing MOTLEY CRUE 🎵 Kickstart My Heart Reaction

[@jasonlmeadows]

This was their first album where the band was clean and sober. The bass player Nikki Sixx was a major heroine addict and actually was dead for a few minutes before a paramedic refused to give up and hit him with two cardiac needles of adrenaline to the heart, basically kickstarting his heart. The song was about discovering new natural ways of getting high. I was in high school when this song came out, 89, and drove a 1971 Pontiac Firebird, naturally it was a dangerous song to listen to while driving! Oh and they are a very theatrical band so I suggest watching the video, just to see them, even if you can’t show it on a reaction video. Things like lighting your legs on fire on stage just has to be seen.

@@viking_nor glam bands. Most bands weren't as successful as them. Thrash bands at the time were anti this. They considered themselves regular guys in street clothes playing metal. Although, many of those bands drank and did drugs, their image was that of regular guys, not glamorous rock stars. Their music videos weren't fast cars and naked girls. Motley Crue is what many people think of when they think of hair bands that lived in excess.

Lex was born in the wrong decade. She is an 80's rocker chick no doubt!

[@shawnnaquin70]

The 80's were under-rated decades. The only really bad part was women's fashion sense. If you took the most beautiful woman you could find today, I mean the girls that so hot you do them on type of your wife. Then the two of you got into the DeLorean took it to 88mph then went back to 1988. Then let a professional highly recommended stylist just give her the full 88 package. When you went back to pick her up you'd probably cut your losses and leave the newly minted street urchin right there. Considering every other woman looks just like her all you got left is to get back up to 88mph and pray the Flux capacitor is working get back to a decade where the men and women have the same f-ed up hair and make up. i.e. I didn't realize for 35yrs that Cinderella was all girls.

Motley Crue was never known for their deep lyrics. Their songs were usually about sex, drugs, alcohol, rock n roll, cars, womanizing. It was really more about the music for them.

all those bands had cookie cutter lyrics

[@justinwilder3514]

Came here to reiterate the above comment ^ The 80’s songs that have deep thoughtful lyrics are few and far between. Which is where I get confused where people Mark it as “the greatest music decade”. Best party songs maybe, best all around musically/lyrically no.

[@picklefish74]

If I remember correctly, the inspiration for the song was the fact that Nikki Six their bass player was doing heroine at the time and died twice before he quit and EMTs had to shock him till his heart started. So Nikki Six literally had to have his heart kick started.

The Crue takes me back to my teens. I blared Dr Feelgood from my cassette deck in my 1980 Ford Mustang. I thought I was cool but the stereo system was worth more than the car was!

They little mixed thoughts of his during his time shooting heroin and cocaine and the madness it took him to. He’s part of a group also call Sixx AM that do the soundtrack to the book.

Hi Lex, the sound like a robot voice surprising you near the end of the song was actually the guitar solo played through an effect called a talk-box. It work by having the guitar sound coming from the amp traveling up a hose going in the players mouth in front of a mic. The player can then manipulate the sound coming out the hose by opening and closing the mouth or speak. Don't hear that effect a lot anymore in modern guitar but back then it was all the rage amongst guitar players. Kind of weirdly funny now I think about it.
