I remember buying this album and my dad, who was an advertising executive, seeing it and just laughing and rolling his eyes and saying that these guys are marketing geniuses. He totally got it. Rest In Peace dad.

[@rintojulian2680]

cool, but I prefer your album "The Real Thing" 😁

[@dthellland9738]

the guitar tone for shout at the devil is beyond words. and the drums too

[@DannyGadish]

especially the bass drum!

[@griiseknoen]

@@DannyGadish I agree! And yet it's actually a very "simple" sound. It's just two big ass bass drums recorded with the natural ambience of the room. Not much in the way of "fancy" processing and gated digital reverb, like they (and just about EVERY 80s band) would use just a year later.

[@jaeson05]

Production was crazy good. The kick drum sounded HUGE and was the driving force of this album. It made them sound larger than life. And it has killer riffs for DAYS.

[@douglasdietz312]

his guitar sound was never the same after that album. bummed me out!!

This album is one of the best in the history of Metal. It was so damn epic at the time. It was blowing MTV up with it's videos. I still own this original album. I still own the tour program.... these were the best years!

[@TinchoRinaldi2023mar]

[@headbangermetal5929]

CRÜE 4 LIFE BROTHER

[@moonman473]

Is Mötley Crüe satanic?

[@rjc7289]

What made SATD a great album was Geoff Workman's engineering skills. He gave that album a dark and sinister vibe that no other Motley album had before or since. I don't know how he twisted those knobs and moved those levers on the console, but he put his stamp on an absolute masterpiece of 80's hard rock.

[@Diggerdog2nd]

I was already a fan for about a year when this came out. Got to see them open for Ozzy in 83 on the shout tour.

[@viksaggu9085]

Diggerdog2nd wow that must have been epic

[@owencooke5461]

What was ur experience like?

[@iTip28]

My parents bought the album with the pentagram for me. Yah, my parents were cool AF!

[@tjanderson6561]

Yep. Glad my parents were not uptight either. I had Crue, Ozzy, King Diamond, Maiden, Metallica, Dio. They didnt care. As long as I didnt pierce anything weird or get tattooed. 😂

[@nathanielhammett811]

My step mom got my shout at the devil record for Christmas. I hate uptight parents and karens

[@charliefoxtrotthe3rd335]

That album is what made me want to pick up the guitar, and the guitar tone on that album was the Holy Grail of guitar tone. It is the sound that grabbed me by the nuts and held on to this day. When I describe my tone to someone, I will call it the Mick Mars sound on Shout At The Devil.

[@BadRonald1]

And your Aviator picture is of Randy Rhodes ? wow that's confusing.

[@ramirotamez6698]

You must have been in military foxtrot... Mick was the $hit

[@DeadShred9]

My favorite Motley record and was disappointed they never got back to that Heavy sound again !!

Shout at the Devil 😈 was epic!! My favorite of all times, Everytime I hear that song I turn up the volume & start shouting at the Devil!!🤘💞✌️

I still have my original Shout at the devil record. The Pentagram freaked out my mom. I played the record for her and she loved it.

[@epasternak4206]

I had an original copy too in mint condition. Yeah man ! What a killer guitars sound Mick Mars had.

[@BillLouthain]

When SATD came out, it set the metal world on fire! I was lucky enough to get to see that tour opening for Ozzy, which sent their career to the stratosphere! Long Live The Crue!!!

[@jlarsena]

This shows once again that record labels don't have the pulse of the fans. If they just let the artists do what they do, they would make so much more money. The Crew save Elektra Records, but record labels are always to concerned with the formula that works, they never see the new formula before the fans do.

[@kevinleonard2368]

Shout At The Devil is as HEAVY METAL as it gets and I love the record, but Motley Crue a Punk band? Never.

[@chadgraves2618]

Too Fast For Love has its punk roots. Listen to it

[@brianj4201]

A lot of metal was born from punk. Look at thrash metal and look at bands like Slayer and Anthrax.

[@daddyrabbit835]

This was their best album.

[@bobbyberetta4206]

I'll never forget the first time I heard this album/band. I was 8 (roughly 1985ish) and I was at my after school care aka "babysitter" which had an older son. We where playing his new NES Super Mario and he put on two albums, the first one was the self titled Suicidal Tendencies and Motley Crue's Shout at the devil. And I was blown away, fuckin loved it! Thank you Motley Crue for being the soundtrack to my life!

[@rickchyczewski576]

LOL Bobby, many a weekend end night my brother and I has shout at the devil and back in black playing while we played NES.

[@scottnot9344]

Shout at the Devil might be one of the best metal albums of the 80's it has stood the test of time and still sounds great today. Everyone and I mean everyone, should own a copy of Shout at the Devil.

[@Jfaustus777]

Its just a perfect album from start to finish. A rare thing today.

[@danniehenriksen1116]

Shout and looks that kill turned me on to crue🤘. That album are in my top 5 albums

[@TheMetalmechanic]

SHOUT HELL YEAH, I bought a used LP last year, Just realized it has the PENTAGRAM on the cover

[@LEDZEP769]

Best Crue album, I was 21 and living the extreme decadence of that decade. Every song kicks ass and Mick's guitar tone was raw, nasty and perfect for the time. ☠️🤘

OMG WE LIVED IN HOUSING ..AND MY BEST FRIEND MONICA ..HAD ALL MOTLEY CRUE POSTERS ON WALL AND BACK THEN WE WOULD COMPETE !!! FOR NEWEST PICTURES BEST POSTERS ..I WAS SOOOO JEALOUS OF HER CRUE POSTERS ..I STILL REMEMBER THEM ..AWESOME MEMORIES

[@jaeson05]

My parents HATED Motley Crue during the Shout years... That was an added bonus. Oh how i loved them. Their image, their music, their attitude. It was right up my alley.

[@sidneyeubanks2201]

One of my favorite albums by the Crue !

[@ziggylayneable]

I'm 45 years old and I can honestly say with no lies that all the way on the East coast,"too fast for Love"is honestly the first Crue album I ever heard.,."shout.……...", Only made things get heavier as time went by

[@r1too]

Made me go look at my old vinyls, I have the Shout at the Devil with the pentagram on the cover.

[@alexzambrano6594]

You can tell this is one of Mick’s (or maybe is) favorite Crüe album.

[@buzzcrushtrendkill]

When that album dropped it blew the fuck up. I was in Jr. High and the perfect age for it. Honestly Motley Crue could have headlined. I know the record company wanted the exposure that Ozzy would give them but all the kids were about the Crue. When the concert came through my town, all the kids bought Crue tshirts. No Ozzy shirts were seen at school. They were the baddest band at the time. It still my favorite Crue album and a heavy metal classic. Sounds great to this day.

[@n2lsu1]

Got Shout on my 11th b-day,I thought it was the Crue's 1st album,my cousin gave me 2 fast a year later,been a fan ever since!

[@InnannasRainbow]

My mom and dad liked Shout At The Devil.

[@topjimmy72]

I had the album. You'd open it up and it was the 4 guys on the inside. But thanks to that Geraldo Rivera special on the dangers of heavy metal, it was soon shattered into a million pieces by my parents.

[@sonyabowles538]

Gasp... I wasn't allowed to see them live. But I was allowed to listen to them.. My mom just dropped a bomb on me a couple of weeks ago, she likes some of Motley Crues music. I am still floored. I was however not allowed to listen to Ozzy or King Diamond. Of coarse, I still listened to Ozzy anyways. 😂

[@alantodd4356]

Thankfully my parents were Atheists. They allowed me to listen to anything and everything.

[@saltysouthernmomma9354]

When I was 16, back in 1988, I worked at a skating rink. I was sick of the bullshit music they played, New kids on the block, ect..🤢. One Saturday night I got to DJ... I blasted Shout at the devil 🤘😎. Needless to say, my manager flipped out, I was let go but, it was soooooooo worth it! Crue fan forever ❤

[@harrywilfong1585]

I had the cool mom, she asked where her copy was.

[@tjanderson6561]

My mom just asked who the girls were on the cover. Oh wait... Nope, that was my Poison album.

[@samanthavictoria3308]

TJ Anderson 😂😂😂

[@mickobrien3156]

So... There was a good Shout At The Devil album cover. I'm glad to learn this. Because back then album covers were extremely important. This was basically before videos, and MTV never played much heavy metal... there was obviously no internet. The album was literally all you had. That was your only glimpse of the band. As a kid I distinctly wondered... 'Why did they make such a boring album cover?' Ah, now I know why. The dorky record people were just nervous. But my favorite Motley album cover was Theater of Pain. You?

[@heidithomas5455]

I didn't think the Pentagon was boring. Metallica's black CD was boring. I did absolutely love both theater of pain and the pentagram albums. I miss good old fashion rock and roll.

[@josearriola3087]

I love motley crue

[@billhogue9523]

I hid my Shout at the Devil tape in a Steve Miller Band case.

[@daddyrabbit835]

Is that so your parents wouldn't throw it away? My mom tore the pentagram out of the big poster I had in my room.

[@topjimmy72]

My SATD album (which survived for 2-3 years hidden in my bedroom up to that point) was quickly found and thrown in the garbage after Geraldo Rivera did that TV special on satanism in heavy metal. My posters survived probably only because one was a blacklight Theatre of Pain poster and the other didnt have a pentagram on it. I wish I still had that blacklight poster with the 2 ToP masks, it was sweet.

[@roxannemoser]

I had to hide all my music. My mom broke my first album at 7 years old. I had the Allman Brother Fillmore. The inner cover had a picture of Skydog completely nude with leaves covering his privates. After that, usually once a month Mom came into my room to "Seek and Destroy". So, I padded my collection with The Carpenter's, Andy Williams, The Osmonds. My real collection was hidden in my suitcase in the closet.

[@maidenthe80sla]

So glad I was not subjected to censorship and brainwashing when I was growing up back then. I remember hearing about some parents doing that kind of crap with their kids after watching stupid talk shows on T.V. or hearing about it at their local church! One teen's mom did the same as written here and was only allowed to listen to Shaun Cassidy type of sugar pop music.

[@marleneg7794]

My mom tore my shout posters down and chucked my tape too. Ahhh the 80's

[@RushianRichard]

Very very cool (and smart) of them to come up with the album title and pentagram when the metal scene was already starting to embrace speed and more 'satanic' orientated thrash metal. Glad I heard them as support for Iron Maiden in '84. Caught Tommy Lee's drumstick!

[@jacksoneverage7163]

My mom took me to Turtles Music Store to buy Shout, with the pentagram. When we got home she came into my room and we listened to it twice lol. She said I don't know why people are saying they worshipped the Devil. Laughed and said that's a great record.

[@deanosmusicscene4976]

Interesting comments from Sixx. "Accidentaly becoming a heavy metal band, when truth is, were just more of a punk band" When I first heard the Shout At The Devil record, yes I immediately thought the band was a metal band, and I continued to label them a metal band throughout their career, even though I always knew they were more about attitude and had punk and bluesy roots. To hear this from the creator of the band, Nikki Sixx puts the metal label to rest I guess. Seen them live 14 times since 1985, and I heard the first record Too Fast For Love, well my first song from it in a English class in 8th grade

[@sunbird128]

Motley Crue rock! I love them!

[@chadcollins8369]

I had that tape thrown in the garbage ATLEAST 5 times back in the day

[@maidenthe80sla]

After reading many of the comments about parents destroying their kid's records, tapes, posters or any likeness of these bands I found to be sad. But, the comment about a priest being sent over to their house was over the top. I am so glad that I did not have to deal with censorship or religious parents such as this when I was growing up. Only in Murica would religion carry this much weight over hard rocking music in the 80s.

[@facelessspectre9975]

I loved this album, got this when it came out , in the eighties, was listening to this, Motorhead No sleep til Hammersmith, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, was really discovering metal and this Album was one of the gateways for me,I got Too fast for love and loved that album too.I was SO mad when theater of pain came out, I hated that album it felt like such a betrayal or sellout. In retrospect Motley Crue knew a lot more about what was happening in the music scene then I did and probably saw a lot of the trend heading towards speed metal/thrash and had to make a decision to play even heavier or lighten up and play more rock/radio style of music. I think it worked out for them but I sure do wish they would have gone the other way, nothing they have ever done since Shout at the Devil appeals to me.

[@BarberShave19]

You don't think Girls, Girls, Girls and Dr. Feelgood were any good?

I would play it so much that the needle on my phonograph would wear out and I would have to ride my bike to the record store and buy a new needle with my allowance !! I still love this album to this day !!! SHOUT, SHOUT, SHOUT AT THE DEVIL....FOR LIFE !!!! 🤘

[@darkkhaki3]

Easily their best, so raw and what an iconic look that tour. Vince hit the nail on the head @ 1:35, I was hooked when this came out and never looked more forward to an album after this release...little did I know it would be their worst and a huge disappointment although at the time, I told myself it was fine. comparing all records TOP and GGG (on the whole) were my least fav albums,

[@douglasdietz312]

Exactly put They never could duplicate the sound from Shout. I was so pissed off when theater of pain came out. Vince looked like a stripper and the sound made a 180. I think they had a different producer on their next albums Tom Werman did shout at the Devil

[@rickchyczewski576]

yeah top and ggg were shit but at the time, having soaked up sotd and then tffl, I sold myself on them. Looking back, utter crap.

[@sixxdog]

Chuck Berry and Elvis are Rock N Roll.. There's alotta rock in Mötley but hardly any roll, thus making it Hard Rock which is a part of the Heavy metal genres. Now the first album is what would become Sleaze Metal, arguably the first ever, after that they went on to make "Shout.." which is much more your basic heavy metal. Then they became Glam Metal with the bluesy "ToP" album, which was followed by two genuine Hard Rock albums. This is what I love about The Crüe - they were always innovative

[@albertdavila6808]

Best album by far

[@jarrod9052]

Lol Tommy hit right on the nose . At the time when I got this record I was like 9 and it had the pentagram and my dad was like what is this shit . I remember putting on the turntable and the first thing you hear is In The Beginning, Sounded like hell was coming out of my speakers

[@uuu098]

I don't understand why Nikki says they were a punk band. Does he think it gives them more credibility? At any rate, Shout is a great album and by far their best.
