Mötley Crüe 'Shout at the Devil' Inside the Album w/ Producer Tom Werman - full in bloom Interview

Micks riffs are so underrated. His solos are memorable. Home sweet home solo is timeless.

[@otisdriftwood8469]

Agreed,, huge riffs and solos you can sing along to. He really is the sound of motley imo.

[@michaeleaster1815]

One thing about Mick's solos: back in the day, they weren't as flashy as other bands, which had blazing speed and pyrotechnics. But, being blues-based, Mick's solos have arguably stood the test of time better than those other bands.

[@brysonz]

@@michaeleaster1815 I agree.

[@dogslobbergardens6606]

@@brysonz You all get it. At the time the rock/metal guitar world was all about "shred shred shred, speed speed speed" but honestly... nobody but other guitar players and wannabes really gives a shit about that. The average music fan just wants a cool riff and something they can sing along with. Guitar nerds think of EVH as a shredder, but the real reason he was so huge is because he played catchy riffs, hooks and melodies that someone who never picked up an instrument could remember and hum to themselves. Mars was very different from EVH of course, but he just didn't fall into that shred trap. He wrote melodies and hooks, and that's what usually makes a song a hit. Even today the world is FULL of shredders who can tap all day and play fast as hell... but they never get anywhere because they can't write a song or memorable solo to save their lives.

[@dgenerated]

The Crue stand out amongst their 80's peers due to them literally being a "Motley Crue".. An eclectic group of guys with different backgrounds and styles and Mick especially as he was older and 70's guitarist into the blues, playing in an 80's hard rock/metal/glam band.. I don't think the Crue could have existed or had their success without those 4 individuals!. People like to bash Nikki, but they fail to realize (or don't know) that he writes All the lyrics and is the main songwriter, regardless of his simple bass lines!..

Sadly Motley Crue and others sell the mayhem, drugs, sex, etc .... In the books and films, but very little about songwriting and the making of records. I know that most of the people wants the "sex,drugs,r´r " thing, maybe there´s not too many people that really wants to know what instruments, amps, how they recorded ( specally in those days when records were made by craftmenship ... but now ... Well technology has good and bad ). Really good work, if you can ask them more about the guitar/amp rig the players use, the use of sound in the room, how they put the mics what type, etc ... And I guess I´m contradicting myself but Trent Reznor would be incredible. Yeah he is "hi tech" ... But man ... What sounds!! Keep the good work. Greetings from Spain.

Now going back tothe comment that no one had this sound at the time. We know there were other metal bands out there at the time but the sound of music flipped over night when it came to the transition of music from 79-80. But with shout at the devil i have to agree. In terms of modern metal this album really does. to me, should take alot of credit. I mean, sure there was ratt-out of the cellar. Now im pretty sure shout at the devil came first and both groups had an album out prior tut o shout at the devil, but shout at the devil really delivered the modern metal sound to us. I mean around this time the metal scene exploded. So it would be hard to pinpoint which band created. It eveolved from feeding off of others in the same scene maybe. Hell who knows.

You’re very welcome! Truly, your voice is Westwood One quality. And, you have exceptional questions that push the limits. I was floored by the info on George Lynch in other interviews. I have worked for the largest backline company in nation for 12 years and have had the pleasure to work with many of my childhood hero’s setting up their gear they rented from us and guitar teching for them. George couldn’t have been a sweeter, nicer guy all the times I was with him. 30 years later and a family life tends to mellow out a guitar god I suppose. Hell, it was the roaring ‘80’s and in my opinion, the best time in music history in all genres. 80’s Hair Metal / Rock era will never die and it’s proven by your interviews because the royalty streams are still consistent!! I wish you all the success in the world and I hope you’re killing it on ad revenue. You deserve it.

[@fullinbloom]

@@vernondouglas4486 Far from killing it, but thank you!...and thanks for your background story.

[@samunden]

I loved hearing how the order of songs was determined! As kid listening to cassettes I figured out this common formula on my own but its nice to know it was done by intent...best 2 songs were always up front, #3 started off Side B, #4 finished off the album. The rest were sprinkled amongst the remaining spots. Haha!

My very first concert ever was Mötley Crüe on their Shout at the Devil tour. I saw them at the Warfield theater in San Francisco and paid $10 for the ticket. Haven’t seen them since.

[@chrismunos7741]

I have a vinyl promotional copy of Shout At The Devil. It somehow ended up at Boogie Records in Kalamazoo ,MI where I found it. I'll never get rid of it.

[@gunnarjordan6980]

Great interview!!

[@keithgrindrod3155]

Danger is the most underrated greatest ballads that Motley Crue ever made and they never played it live. I love that song. Is sums up the crew chronologically before they even started the dirt. They should have remix that song and added it into the dirt movie.

[@bigbob4191]

Agreed 1000% that entire album is their best, and heaviest work. The pre-chorus riff on danger is epic.. top 3 songs on the album 🤘🤘

[@Blackmountainthunder]

Shout At The Devil is in my top 10 best metal albums ever

[@tenbroeck1958]

Thanks for mentioning the Eagles. The 80s were missing that kind of music. Don't get me wrong, being 16 in1987, dropping out of school, going to concerts, meeting older girls: it was great; however, The Eagles, Boston, the Byrds, Zeppelin, etc., were the greatest rock bands ever.

The Crue influenced so many bands it's crazy. They were the second coming of KISS in my opinion.

[@RockyH.]

No, No I always considered Crüe a much more authentic band for sure... don't get me wrong I for sure see where you are coming from and truth be told you are right, but Mötley was real they didn't care about anything at all.

[@jamescon55]

Yeah, after SHOUT however, and then ALL the hype for Theater before it hit with Nikki raving it all up, and then we the fans got?🤔 CRUE REALLY ALL glammed up with Vince wearing a lace girdle, Nikki in striped joker suits, lace and more lace for the other members 😒 and ALL the black associated with the CRUE? NOW, it's pink. 😒 And also, NOW they're more of a joke with the awful Smoking in the Boyz room video and cover song (for a hit!), the infamous Home Sweet Home ballad etc. But yeah, LOTTA stinkers on Theater as it WAS one of the biggest disappointments for MOST "true old school CRUE heads" like myself and many others....And just when ya thought the music couldn't get ANY worse or bland? Girls Girls Girls (stupid azz name and song ain't much better) got phoned in....Then, the Feel bad craze Lol. Ohh yeah, I was there. Went through it ALL too 😏 But TOO FAST and SHOUT are STILL the CRUE's ONLY top listenable albums with Theater being thrown in for a couple few okay tracks IMO. Rock ON 🤘🔥🤘

@@dogslobbergardens6606 😄 Pretty much... Amongst plenty of "other things" 😏. But yeah, it IS pretty amazing (at the least) to see how much of "a following" whether it's fanbase/general population/or media for such a band that in fact? Their ONLY, REAL claim to stardom/fame was/IS only their 1st TWO albums...TBH (leastways IMO)? The rest of the CRUE catalog is mostly JUST filler "gaaarrr-baaagggue", while there were/are plenty of other bands from that same era that actually have waaay better actual M.U.S.I.C. So yeah, NM HOW good a musician may be? It's obvious...LOTS has ta do with image and gimmick.....😏🙄. Rock the funk ON 😎🎸🥁🔥🤘

I hope one day, you will make a broad interview with the founder and boss of Shrapnel Records Mike Varney. I know that, he isn't a producer of Glam Rock bands of L.A. scene. But, he discovered a lot of fantastic guitar players and talented Heavy Metal bands. He contributed many many important things to the music world in general. IMHO, more people deserves to be aware of that. Thanks in advance. 🤘

[@fullinbloom]

I hit him up a couple of years ago, talked to him on the phone, he agreed to the interview, and then he ghosted me. He wouldn't return my messages. There's lots of interviews on my channel with thrash /classic rock people, not just glam. Thanks for the suggestion.
