First time hearing Motley Crue "Wild Side" Reaction | Asia and BJ

[@metalmark1214]

A band that literally lived on the "Wild Side". Other songs to check out Too Fast For Love, Shout at the Devil, Kick Start My Heart, Don't Go Away Mad

[@Steve-cm2ys]

Lol They were only relatively 'Wild'. Compared to actually living the (fucked up) "life" they were singing about, they were choir boys. Pretty wild compared to Tiny Tim, not so wild compared to GG Allin / someone who's raped and killed.

[@scottcannon6347]

@@Steve-cm2ys How wild you want them to be? Did GG Allin ever make another album from prison? Or from the grave? There is a side that’s wild but you don’t have to go to prison. There’s a line that shouldn’t be crossed.

Official videos are the way to go , especially 80's - 90's music MTV helped bring out ( Forced ) bands to be more creative in a new media . Some bands were more creative than others . Examples : B52's and White Zombie . To watch Lyric videos of Love Shack or More Human than Human is to miss out on the Flavour the Vibe of the bands visions of their music , you're only getting a part of what made some songs so memorable. Edit : Be Honest would you watch a Lyric video of Michael Jackson's Billie Jean or the Motown Special live version. Sometimes you need to see them Moonwalk .

[@tracismith708]

It’s not about the visual effects of a video … it’s about the music and song and how it makes you feel.

[@NATIVESUNSETS65]

@@tracismith708 That's incorrect when it comes to the music of 80's -90's it was all about the visuals why do you think bands hired big time directors for their videos . Michael Jackson hired John Landis who made The Blues Brothers . The songs may make feel a certain way but the videos were made with the artists visions in mind as well. Todays top artist still rely on The Visuals ( videos ) for their music. How the music may make you feel whether it's the songs or the videos is up to the person to enjoy the artists product however you may please. I stand by my comments Lyric videos are weak when the original is available after all KZbin is a Visual medium to get a chance to get a glance at the past of your favorite artists.

[@tracismith708]

@@NATIVESUNSETS65 Ever heard Chris Stapleton live from Austin City Limits.. or the CMA’s or in person in concert?? Or any other incredible artist with amazing vocals past or present? It’s about the experience of the song and the words and the music. It’s not about a video…. Have a nice day.

[@NATIVESUNSETS65]

@@tracismith708 You're juggling apples and oranges there . How do you go from comparing a KZbin video to a live performance ? You can't , besides at these amazing live concerts they still use giant " Video " screens to watch the performances. Have a Blessed Day.

Wish you guys done the official vid on this or you would've seen something familiar another drummer done. If you get a chance check it out. Motley Crue is definitely one of those bands that broke the rules and made new ones of their own. And each member paid their price on the wild side for sure. Definitely my favorite band of that genre of the 80's 🤘😎🤘

[@rorybisson756]

this is one of those songs you absolutely have to see the official music video for (live concert footage) it will blow your minds. I've seen them 5 times, 4 of them are concerts I will never forget.

[@cherokeehogman9170]

I’m usually a lyrics based listener. Have loved this song a long time. But I never got past the music in this song to pay attention to the lyrics. Especially tommy lee on the drums... not the best nor the most technical drummer, but somehow he brings the drums to the front of the music, you hear them more somehow of that makes any sense. I love Motley Crue. More please!

You try playin drums up in the air spinning like a rockoplane!!!😂😂😂

Nikki (nass player) would have occasional bedroom fun with a highschool girl from a Catholic school. (Yes, when he was a famous musician) He wondered what the school would think if they knew what she was doing. He asked her if she had a Bible one day and she left it with him. He wrote this song and that's why there are passages from the Bible.

[@johnstahrstartcleanfitwell1051]

My GREATEST band of all time made me a rockstar from the first time I saw them in 1983 the year my girlfriend was born. I graduate from high school and I brought her to a Mötley Crüe concert. The first time I saw them was I graduate in high school and she was born, probably being born when I was at that show!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@blgeiger71]

Glad you two made it to this song, as it is a banger for sure and is the opening track on the Girls, Girls, Girls album (1987 - you were correct there BJ). The discography throughout the 80s was definitely pretty consistent, as their debut album "Too Fast for Love" was released in '81 followed by "Shout At the Devil" in '83, "Theatre of Pain" in '85, this one in '87 and finally "Dr. Feelgood" in '89...they killed it then and they remain my top favorite band overall from that, my favorite Decade!

[@vickinewby408]

Their concerts are full on! I've been to quite a few. Home Sweet Home is my song!

[@seandobson6221]

This is my favorite Motley Crue song. It was in the 80s movie Like Father Like Son. In the music video Tommy Lee’s drum set does a flip while he’s playing and you’ve done Slipknot Spit it Out live and Joey Jordison gives tribute.

[@abenickerson7470]

Growing up in the 80's, the Crue were the epitome of crazy excess. The lyrics were basically pulled from the headlines of the LA Times throughout 1986, when the albumn was written. LA was experiencing an incredible crime wave that made news countrywide. I got my driver's license the first week of summer 1987 and two days later I replaced the original radio in my 1978 Bronco, with a brand new Kenwood system. The first tape I played, Motley Crue, Wild Side.

[@dawnr6381]

I wouldn’t replace growing up in the 80s for anything. I also put a kenwood system in my first car.

Hi guys. Love your reactions. You should check out the official video for "Wild Side." You would see Tommy Lee the drummer spinning his drums in a cage, really cool. Been a fan of Mötley Crüe since the 80,s. This song is from the album Girls Girls Girls from 1987. A little fun fact for you..the lyrics in this song is inspired by The Lords Prayer and a cathlic girlfriend written by the bassplayer in Mötley Crüe Nikki Sixx, who wrote most of their songs. Try next the song "Primal Scream " from the album Decade of Decadence 1990, with the video. So GOOD!! And also written by Nikki Sixx.

The "Greed is King" line is a riff on the line from the movie Wall Street by the character Gordon Gecko, played by Michael Douglas, "Greed, for lack of a better word, is good." Very L.A.

[@Osprey850]

It looks like Wall Street was released in December 1987 and this was released in May 1987, so it probably didn't come from that, but both were likely inspired by the same thing.
