I remember meeting John before he went into Crue. I was homeless and living in my car, and he was my pen pal for a bit. After he got into Crue, he sent me one last postcard that basically said he landed a big gig and may not be able to talk to me for a while. I have much love for this man!

Having Corabi play rhythm guitar really allowed Mick to shine. With Vince he has to balance playing lead and keeping the riff going. With Corabi he could shift all of his focus to playing lead because Corabi kept the foundation of the song going with his rhythm playing. The Corabi era was definitely Mick at his best.

Steel Dragon - Couldn't have said it better myself. Well done. Corabi is a very talented singer, songwriter, and guitarist. He rounded out Motley's sound and allowed Mick to really shine on top of his rhythm playing. I think the band would have been better off from a musical standpoint if they continued with Corabi. The album and concert sales wouldn't have been as good but the albums definitely would have been better than what we got when Vince came back. Generation Swine, New Tattoo, and Saints of LA are the worst albums of their career no doubt.

@@steeldragon9701 perfectly said bro,that 94 record was a BANGER for sure!!as a motley fan from SATD at 12 yrs old that 94 album imo is their BEST work and yea i love SATD,TFFL,DF,and GGG and TOP both had their crue moments but i never realized just how good mick mars was until that album and i knew tommy lee was real good but damn did he drum his ass off on that one and even nikki showcased his best work on the bass bye far,just an amazing album 12 tracks deep and not 1 filler and hell even a couple of the later released tracks were damn good!!i think its really hard for crue fans to admit it,but the level that they played at with corabi isnt even comparable as it is with vince neil and im not saying that vince just sucked,cuz on those early crue records it is his voice and stage presence that made people first take notice of the band,and he did get better vocally as the yrs went on and i think people kind of forget that the last real single that they put out with vince back then was PRIMAL SCREAM and that was on the heavier side,so i do think they were heading in that direction before the break up,but yea the only thing that they did wrong was keeping the name motley crue they should have gone with sixx A.M!!

John really made out like a bandit if you think about it. He got to add Motley Crue to his resume, helped them put out one of their best albums, and now that they don't play these songs anymore without him and have all but disowned them, he is left with an album's worth of songs to play when he tours himself which still sound great. Added alot of time to his career which sadly could have been over after a couple MTV videos with the Scream had he not joined the Crue. Awesome guy.

Motley at their creative peak. As much as I love all eras of the band, the '94 album is the only one I don't skip a track when I listen to it. No it's not classic Crue but it's a perfect balance between the 80s and 90s that that other bands of that time just couldn't hit. And wow, when Corabi put out the Live'94 record a couple years ago, holy fuck that's what a live record is. If you haven't got it or heard it...go do that. Right now.

So as cool as it was that they did this bold change in sound, it did seem to alienate many of their older diehards.

Let's be objective here. This album is not as iconic as Shout at the Devil, as beloved as Too Fast for Love, or even as consistent as Theater of Pain. In truth, GGG is in reality 2 amazing songs; a couple of decent tracks and the rest are utterly forgettable.

Arguably one factor Corabi brought to Crue in his short time was his ability to play guitar. I have read/seen Mick commenting on this issue, and Mick has stated that it 'freed me up a bit' insofar as the dual guitars complimented each other. 'Smoke' is a killer track. But in the end as even 'The Dirt' makes reference the fans were never going to buy another lead singer other than Vince. That may piss a lot of Vince haters off but shit like Roth is what it is. Corabi for mine is an extremely talented musician.
