[@braincrisp1]

I'll never forget the day my buddy came home from the record store and we listed to Crue for the very first time. I was like "man, this chic can sing" and my buddy said it wasn't a chic, but a dude. I was immediacy hooked and the rest is history!

[@allencolvin4320]

Never listened close enough before to this song that it is a song about tragedy....

[@maryfreebed9886]

I sang this to keep my composure enough to study after having been informed that my best friend died, the death being 11 days earlier, but the news of the death coming RIGHT in the middle of exams. The only thing worse than plain grief is grief with HOMEWORK. It's a wonder I held it together enough to finish what I was doing and pass, too. I had to go lie down after the exams.

[@AMPUT33]

I remember the band always claiming that this album sounded way better before the record label remixed & released it. Without a doubt they are right. It isn't even close. The original mixes & arrangements are way better. Just goes to show you how so called 'experts' can screw something up.

[@all4Hisgloryalone2Tim215]

Totally disagree

[@mariopalos9238]

This is a nice version. Even better in spots. But it sounds fine on the album as well. Apples and oranges.

[@chrisk19791]

I disagree also. The Leathur Records version of this album is just about unlistenable. I thought Vince was flat on the Elektra Records version, but it's really bad here. Plus the arrangements were pretty bad at times. Like the intro to Too Fast and the ending to Come On And Dance. Really bad. You gotta be a super fan to listen to it.

[@kurtzcol]

both are awesome

[@idonteperfect6943]

WTF, this is the biography of cool times in the 80’s. When people say”party like a rock star” they’re talking about Motley Crue.

[@UnderTheMillkyWay]

I remember riding across the country with this tape in the tape deck at 16 years old. I only had 4 tapes that I took with me because at that time it's all I needed. I still have the tapes even though they are stretched out from rewinding a few of the songs to play over and over. Live Wire, Take Me To The Top, Starry Eyes, On With The Show and Top Fast For Love but I have listened to this album without moving the needle many times.

[@daverichman1092]

Ill never tire of hearing Crue"s songs, they were the best at what they did and no band will ever come close \.../

[@dawnmanuel7372]

Same with me! Yeah I'm in my late 50's but oh well! My kind of music! A little Motley Crue! Yeah......

I’m a child of the late ‘80s & the ‘90s so I missed a lot from the late ‘70s and early ‘80s. But I’m so glad that I’ve discovered Mötley Crüe now. Geez how they absolutely ROCK!

[@SCrepresent]

I have a copy of their 1st release. The one that they only made 900 copies of. The album cover is all White. I got that from Nikki in 1981. I have another copy that was released when they got signed to Elektra Records which was in 1982 & got it when they did an in store appearance at our family owned record store in Cerritos, Ca. They all signed it 🤘

[@sepulmattica7649]

Always dug them more that the other “hair metal” bands...and really, I never saw them as that. They had something different and more original going on. It’s seemed like they were all about taking chances, rather than using a sure hitting formula, tried and tested by someone else...namely the bands that came after who rode their coattails. Like they said, they never intended to become a Heavy Metal band, but on “Shout” they did just that, they went for a vibe...and that’s what came out. That’s what makes them truly cool, legendary, and why they make movies about them

[@allencolvin4320]

I agree! All the "pop" bands that followed were nothing more than cleaned up Disney bubblegum Motley Crue wannabes! These guys toured with Ozzy!

[@sepulmattica7649]

[@dilly84]

It's way better than the record company version

[@legacyXplore]

@ there is a big difference between hearing something and being familiar with it. I think I knew of the versions when I was in my early teens and pre internet. I assume you aren't saying you heard these years ago or something. I do wish I would not have worded it the way I did though. Better comes off wrong but anyway. Take care.

@@legacyXplore In highschool, I was fortunate enough to own an original first print Leathur Records TFFL and my friend had the Stick to your guns/Toast of the Town single. We had a plug at a local record store, who, if you were cool enough allowed access to hundreds of bootleg records. These were mostly live shows recorded off the soundboard without artist consent, demo tapes, and studio tape of the song making process. I found an awesome Crue show during the Bark at the Moon/Shout at the Devil tour that sounded incredible. Nowadays, you can get this stuff on the web, but back in the olden days, you had to hustle and get to know people to get the good stuff. Today, everything is minutes away it seems and that is great but part of me misses "the hunt". You'd hear that a certain show was recorded (Crue was always my fav), talk to record store/ music shop guys until you found someone that could hook you up with a copy.convince them to sell you one and that you weren't a rat..get home and hope it was the real thing and not a sleeve printed up to scam some music lovers.. TLDR yes I've heard of these and others a long time ago and there are still songs/shows I am looking for...

[@legacyXplore]

@ love it. I remember making my mom rent me that Motley Crue uncensored vhs video over and over and over. I was prob 10 lol. You are very lucky to live and experience that in real time. Nothing is the same music wise.

[@legacyXplore]

@ LOL that is incredible. To even be present when that video was shot would be insane. It’s an iconic video. You should do a few KZbin videos sharing some of these memories. I have no doubt you have many others. I was born in 1977 and considered myself lucky that I at least was able to experience music before things changed. One of my earliest memories is being in the car with my mom and dad driving around listening to music. It would go from Mollie Hatchet to Van Halen to Deep Purple and on and on. Have you ever met any of the band?

[@darrendobson2442]
