[@mrtveye6682]

Maddy, that spinning drumset was part of their shows for years. Had the chance to see them live back in the late 80s. I was more of a "real" metal head in my teens, and all that hair-metal band where considered "not real metal". But for some reason I always loved Mötley Crüe.

[@SJ-ty5rw]

Tommy Lee got the idea for the spinning drum from Mick Mars . His previous band came up with the idea in the 70's .

[@ClaytonMacleod]

Close, but not quite. In guitarist Mick Mars’s previous band the drummer did indeed have an upside down drum set. It ain’t turn upside down, though. It was simply set up that way. There was no mechanism involved. It was just on some kind of rack to be suspended upside down for the whole show. As for Tommy Lee’s drum set shenanigans, it wasn’t the same thing for years. He did something different nearly every tour, and it was always based around his drum solo section of the show. This song is from their 1987 album Girls, Girls, Girls. For the previous album, 1985’s Theatre Of Pain, his drum set was on a platform that was hinged in the front. The rear of it raised up on that hinge so that it came up to a 90-degree angle and in the audience you could see him drumming from the “top” since the platform was then perpendicular to the ground. It didn’t spin or anything else. It just came up on that front hinge. For this 1987 tour he wanted to top that, and this was what he came to with. This contraption first extended out forward, and raised up. And it could then spin forwards and backwards. I could be mistaken, but I don’t think this one could do left and right spins. I think it only spun forward and backward. If you find one of the full show videos from that 1987 tour you could confirm whether or not it spun left and right by skipping to the drum solo section of the concert, which was when he would do whatever the drum thing was that year. For the 1989 Dr. Feelgood tour he had a drum set that was up near the ceiling on a roller coaster track, but I don’t think that one did anything other than ride along that track, and the track was just flat. It didn’t have any vertical movement to it. It just weaved around a bit near the ceiling. I think it had some big fake subwoofer speakers hanging from it, just bare without any boxes. They didn’t actually do anything. Just for the spectacle. I might be wrong, but I don’t recall him doing anything special with his drums after that tour until after they split up and had the reunion tour in 2005. I think that was the tour he had these bungee cord things strapped on himself, and he was jumping great distances between two different platforms. And I believe there was a circular roller coaster track, as well. Just one loop based at the normal drum spot on stage. There’s an official concert DVD from that tour. Then for their “final” tour he actually had a humongous roller coaster track that did have a ton of elevation to it, and the drums also spun again, this time while riding the tracks. The tracks came up from the stage and went up and down over about 3/4 of the length of the arena. There’s an official Blu-Ray (and DVD?) of that tour. I believe one of the few times that it actually broke down was when they were filming for this one. Then for the most recent Stadium Tour with Def Leppard, I don’t think he actually did anything special, likely because of how many bands had to play each night. These shows, Crüe actually sucked, and even resorted to some recorded parts for things they’d always played live in the past. It was sad. All the other bands on that tour put on good shows. I’ve seen them ten times over the years, and this tour was (luckily for me) the only one where I actually encountered Vince Neil living up to his reputation for singing like crap, half-assing it very badly. I was lucky, I guess, that every other time I saw them he actually put forth a good effort and sang well.

You can not even imagine how much on the wild side these guys were! I was, and still am, a fan of Motley Crue at this time and we had all heard the stories about the things they did but even we didn't realize then just how crazy they got. They eventually published a book entitled The Dirt: Confessions of the worlds most notorious rock band. As I said I grew up during this time as a fan and even I was totally left in shock after I read that book as well as bassist Nikki Sixx's The Heroin Diaries the life of a shattered rock star. HOLY S**T!

[@saltydroog854]

I was at the old (no longer there) New Haven Coliseum for their show during the "Girls, Girls, Girls" tour...yes, I'm THAT old, YIKES... when Tommy Lee fell from his kit, and had to be rushed to the hospital...thankfully only getting a mild concussion. Our tickets were refunded, and we are given tickets to see them the following summer for the "Dr.Feelgood" tour at Lake Compounce, with Tesla opening. Hair band glory days.

Hey Maddy. Thanks for reacting to this song.

You’re right about the lyrics. Glamorizing their wild lifestyle. They are lucky to be alive. Nikki Sixx wrote most of their songs. I’ve seen these guys many times.

[@fredrikjohansson6225]

When Sixx wrote this he was a cocaine, heroin and pill addict,and started the day with a large cup of Jack Daniels. in deep depression, and felt lonely, trying to get clean while hiding exactly how bad he was. Most friends had left him and the band was all he had. He used 5000$ of drugs a day… and apparently came up with this song after a short relationship with a chatolic schoolgirl. Sixx may only be the best bass player but he wrote good deep lyrics.

[@scottcummins1560]

My Music was Boston, Bad Company, April Wine, Foghat..etc..I was in my early 20's when they started but you could NOT help but liking "Crue" I really fell for Hair Metal! and there is a message to that song, You have to watch the movie 'The Decline of Western Civilization Part II The Metal Years" to understand the song. When you get to the scene where W.A.S.P. guitarist is in the pool and him Mom is sitting there, you will see what it means!

[@BlackieNuff]

This band is one of those of the 80s who definitely lived hard and fast, full of decadence and debauchery, and as most music artists do (as you pointed out), they often write about what they know - and they definitely know about the "wild side" of life - however, it is not necessarily a song advocating or discouraging it ; at best you could say it qualified as "raising awareness", cos it's just a song encapsulating a way of life for many in those big cities, in a "it is what it is" sentiment. Despite the live concert setting (in case there's any confusion), this was NOT live. This is indeed the studio album version, and I found it clever how they worked in some stage antics to sync up with the sounds of emergency sirens and gunfire and panicked screaming, through pyrotechnics and the like.

[@L.A55]

[@sumonjamal1653]

When N.W.A. debuted in 1989, people accused them of promoting violence... They simply said that they didn't condone violence, but they wanted to talk about the real side of life that people, including police, were trying to hide... They were from Compton, California and they described life there as "crazy"... So, why wouldn't they wanna talk about real life? Motley Crue pretty much embodied the wild life and reckless behavior... Nikki Sixx (bass) who formed the band and wrote most of the lyrics was not shy about hiding his inspirations... The band based in Hollywood, California in the early 80's and they were inundated w/ drugs, strippers, gangs and violence... It wasn't this glamorous paradise that people thought it was. The lyrics to 'Wild side' were basically what they saw every day in Hollywood. When Motley Crue weren't onstage, they were partying at their crib on the Sunset Strip, scoring drugs... scoring girls... and boozing it up. They were always in trouble w/ cops... Tommy Lee (drums) looked back at those days w/ disbelief, saying that they practically got away w/ murder... Nikki Sixx became a he+++n addict by the time this Motley Crue video was shot on their 1987 tour... Soon after, he OD'd one night and paramedics had to revive him cos his heart had stopped. Crazy part was... he checked out of the hospital that very night, went home and shot up he+++n again! He recalled waking up the next morning w/ a needle still in his arm and lamented that he just couldn't stop. That was the reality for a hardcore drug addict. But that was the life that they had... and it made the lyrics to their songs. Nikki Sixx published a book called 'The he+++n diaries' - it was basically his diary entries that he wrote during the worst years of his addiction - it was a warning for others not to go down that road. If u look at another Hollywood-based band Guns N' Roses, they were worse in their early days in the 80's... They were always fighting others offstage or fighting each other onstage... No record company wanted to sign them because they were chaos 24/7 w/ drugs and booze and women ... And they became one of the biggest bands in the world after they were signed in 1986 and the inspirations of their debut album 'Appetite for Destruction' in 1987 was real life - the mayhem... the romances... the sex... the drugs... the frustrations of life... etc. The Guns N' Roses song 'Welcome to the jungle' was about their singer Axl Rose coming to L.A. from Indiana and someone off the street literally told him, "You're in the jungle baby, you're gonna die..." and that was in the lyrics.

[@jasonhoff6407]

Thank you for taking a ride on the wild side!

[@MaddyReactions]

[@jonathanappelhans117]

From Hollywood. Nikki writes most of the lyrics to Crue songs, and this one is really about the hard, dark, and wild side of Los Angeles/ Hollywood, which they themselves, lived around a lot of and inside of, as with most of us in music in Hollywood/LA did back in the 80s-90s. Nikki’s writing often inspired by the darker side of life, as his was pretty dark, rife with hard times and feelings. They lost a lot of friends and loved ones while paying their dues along the way, and they often found ways to make great Frankensongs out of all of it. They wanted to entertain as well as kick you in the nuts at the same time. Some songs were all for sleazy fun, and some were about the $hitty things about life, and some were aggressive, guilty pleasure fun at 120 decibels to scream your lungs out while your eardrums bleed…good stuff.😊

Yes, Motley Crüe lived on the wild side, but miraculously they survived it, but not without consequence. Singer Vince Neil and his buddy in another band were making a beer run while drunk, and Vince got into a car accident, and his friend died. He went to jail for manslaughter, but got a light sentence, although it did cost him 7 figures. Bass player Nikki Six got addicted to heroin and overdosed one night. He was pronounced dead, after his heart stopped for a couple of minutes. Them miraculously he came back from the dead, as I think the EMT stuck the needle in his heart with adrenaline. He shot up a batch of heroin one last time, after leaving the hospital, and realized he had to quite, or he’d die for sure any day. He never touch the stuff again.

The previous tour, the drum kit went vertical (see Home Sweet Home video), and was the first time they had Tommy Lee strapped in. The tour AFTER this, they had a track taking the drum kit out and over the audience. Theatrics are something missing from a lot of music in the 2000's.

This song as well as the lifestyle they've lived was an incessant glamorization of destructive choices. Choices that they rarely had to face the consequences of (sometimes). They themselves weren't guilty of "intentionally" harming anyone directly (*cough*cough*) but, they certainly cheered it on! I used to think it was "cool" and a lifestyle to pursue if I wanted wealth, the admiration of women and to live unjudged by others; but, as I got older I could see it for what it really is. Unfortunately, they'll never know the harm to others that they glorified for all those years... Razzle does...and the two kids with permanent brain damage do, but...well...yeah... I'm sure that the Japanese man, minding his own business on the train, who was rushed to the hospital with a serious head injury because Nikki just "felt" like chucking the whiskey bottle into the passengers is just FINE with how they choose to behave! Haha! Good one, Nikki! I'm sure if the fire that they started in the hotel WASN'T put out (fortunately) and it burned down with who-knows how many people inside, well...ROCK N' ROLL!!! The instrumentation of this song is pretty good...just wish the intent behind the lyrics wasn't so harmful. Par for the course with the Crue I guess.

I'm not entirely sure on the timing but Vince Neil (lead vocalist) was arrested for vehicular manslaughter over the death of a fellow musician, Nikki Sixx (bassist) died and had to be resuscitated due to an OD and Tommy Lee (drummer) was facing drug/alcohol dependency as well. It's very likely you're right by the timing of the song that it may have been written as more a warning than a glorification. It seems to be about that point of no return after the fact when you just give in. It's pretty much saying "if you wanna spend an eternity in hell just follow me".

Lyrics is dark, but that is also part of their rebellious nature. These guys were not there to play in a choir. They wanted to be loud, shocking, and full of energy. I highly doubt they wanted people to actually live the Wild Side life. They did, because they wanted it all, no holding back. Which did end in a death of one of their friends in a car crash.

Hi Maddie! Love your channel and reactions. Another 80s band you might enjoy and that I highly recommend is Great White, starting with the long version(7min) of Rock Me ✌️ ☮️ 🇺🇸🎸🎵🎶❤️

My mom wouldn’t let me play motley crue in our house when I was a kid because of Shout shout shout at the devil! She heard it and said nope! Turn that off! Lol

LA was even more of a cesspool back then and they came right out of it. None of the bands back then could party harder than Crue, Guns n Roses tried to out do them and even they couldn't do it. Nikki even died and was brought back so they wrote a song about it called Kickstart My Heart, check it out.

Nikki Sixx wrote the darkest lyrics in this song and they are the best part.
