🎵 Motley Crue - Wild Side Reaction

[@blgeiger71]

The concerts during the ‘80s were epic, without a doubt! One primary reason, which you picked up on and pointed out…NO CELL PHONES!!!

[@michaelrstover]

Feeling that unity with a crowd that big is exactly what struck me about my first concert experience (Yes, in a hockey arena). Was eye opening for me.

[@0ly001]

[@wompa70]

The spinning drum set was Tommy Lee's idea. And it got crazier as the years went on.

[@TripletDad3]

Actually, Charlie Adams did the spinning drum set before Tommy Lee. Adams is Yanni's drummer, and they were in a rock band together in the early 80s called Chameleon where Adams came up with the idea and built the kit.

Not Really. After Feelgood tour it was all about Electronica Solos and no Soul to those Solos

[@mikefrost5022]

Yes, the crowd was definitely more connected with the performance back in the 80's. The crowds were often just as wild as the bands. More women pulled up their tops to flash the band at a Crue concert than at most other shows.

[@johnjohnon8767]

That's the truth

[@corneliuscrewe677]

So many boobs at a Motley Crue show. Concerts were so much better back then. You didn’t have to take out a loan to go to one, either.

[@jackiegoodspeed1849]

You were right Lex, we were united. We came together to celebrate, scream, yell, with each other. We made friends through music. Our music moved, motivated, inspired, kept some of us alive. Yes good memories.

[@ps5392]

Recorded in 1987. Love this nasty riff. 35 years on and I still get goosebumps at the end when the entire stadium is chanting ‘CRUE CRUE CRUE CRUE CRUE!!!’. THIS is a fucking rock concert!

[@rychenrollinc.3846]

I went to concerts in the 80s. I had more fun in the 80s than any millennial or zoomer will ever have. Back then ...we lived for freedom and fun. Period.

[@KSDVLmom]

Same. I recently tried remembering all the acts I saw in concert and couldn't even remember them all.. living in NJ so close to my we had so many venues to choose from. From the small Jersey shore venues like Stone pony to Atlantic City to NYC to Philly. I had so much fun

Lex just nailed it, it was wild in the 80’s. I saw like 50 concerts in the Dallas area back then. Always sat on the floor, there was always a stage rush. It was the best time to be young.

[@kellyhouse4263]

Concerts in the 80's were like no other! No cell phones, we were there for the music and have a good time! Some of the best times of my life! Motley Crue is still in my top 3 of the craziest concerts I've ever been to hands down!🤟

[@annaoswald5943]

Lex is on target again. The concerts I've been to in the last 20 years or so, don't seem to have the unity and energy that was so great in the 80s. People are more interested in getting footage on their phone, than enjoying the music with others at the concert.

[@jamesjohnston1935]

Ive been to a couple that had the same energy. Amon Amarth with Arch Enemy, Avatar, Slipknot, and Iron Maiden. Other than them you are spot on.

[@ManetInAEternum]

I saw Rammstein at the Target Center in Minnesota, that was a bad ass concert

[@joelhammond4162]

Iron Maiden concerts never changed. Always brought the energy! Incredible everytime!

I blame it on phones. Most people are watching the show on a little screen in front of them rather than just being in the moment.

@@snakecharm13 I'm with you 100%. I remember a bunch of times recently, i would try to dance with whoever might be next to me and all I would normally get are strange looks saying leave me alone. That was rarely the case in the 80's & 90's.

[@andreadeamon6419]

Yes - we had a lot of fun in the 80s. As cheap as tickets were - we could go see 3 concerts a month easily. Now you have to save up all year to maybe see 1. You would've had so much fun if you could've experienced it. No other time like it

[@brianginn6075]

Tickets were like $75 for front row to $25 for general admission (that’s where the action was). Girls would flash the band and there was pot being passed around. If you were really close to looking like the band, you most likely went home with a girl/ guy for the night (very least a 30 minute back seat tour)

[@evanerys]

My first concert was Motley Crue on this tour (Girls Girls Girls). The atmosphere depicted in this video is authentic; that's what their shows were like. Crue songs worth checking out: Don't Go Away Mad, Home Sweet Home, Shout at the Devil, Dr. Feelgood. The opening act at that concert had the number one record (Crue was 2) the week I saw them, and they're worth checking out: White Snake. Songs: Slow and Easy, Still of the Night, Here I Go Again.

[@Ph8rus]

I saw them on that tour too! My buddies all failed to secure tickets, so I was by myself. Since I didn't have to keep track of anyone, I risked my life to get right next to the stage...never again!!! Rock has, in many ways, forgotten that it is supposed to be fun! Too much brooding and introspection for fun these days.

[@bobbymcbay1586]

Me as well, saw them in Dallas, Texas and was my first concert partaking in alcohol lol

[@klaws32]

I was born in 1968, and i've been going to concerts since 1982, and i can assure you, concerts back then were much better than nowadays. Everybody used to drink and party in the parking lots, it was an amazing time in the 80's I saw this Motley Crue tour you are watching twice in the summer of 1987, it was awesome.

Wouldn't trade my teen years for anything. Love your channel.

You are so spot on when you talk about the 80's concert experience. I have seen Motley Crue 5 times, from 1987 up to 2018. I was never disappointed.

As someone who went to these kinds shows back in the day and still goes to them today, Lex nailed it in the head. I couldn’t have said it better myself. It truly is a different energy. It’s not the same. And though they are fun, they were even more fun back in the day. Love you guys! F The Eagles!

[@angiestanford672]

You are so right Lex! The 70’s and 80’s were the shit! I seen Motley when I lived in Hawaii. I was able to give a dozen roses to Vince and I was standing right up front and 4 months pregnant. Still have most of my concert stubs from then! When tickets cost $6.50, $7.50 and most expensive maybe $16.50. I was always in the middle front with only a wooden barrier between the bands!(And of course security guards) Those times were the “Best”

[@andreadeamon6419]

Thankfully we had a brain back then. Only reason for the security guards were there because of the pyrotechnics no one would get hurt and to get those who have passed out

The energy back in those days was so much more than modern day concerts. You were seeing the band in person. Other than the occasional music video or tv interview, all we had were photos in magazines. It was magical to see and hear our favorite bands in person. The energy level of the shows was a 10. Now people video it with their phone and are busy posting to social media during the concert.

[@Jd-im4my]

Seen this tour back in the day and it was a BIG WILD PARTY!! The kind of concert you never forget. Going full throttle from beginning to end.

[@Deadwood1919]

Crue was always drunk/high. I was at a concert (against the stage rails), and Vince was pouring whiskey on the crowd during it, after taking swigs himself.

[@danjmcs]

This whole era of the 80s was just crazy fun... Girls Girls Girls and the Dr. Feelgood tours definitely feel like special moments in time when i look back at this era of going to concerts... going to the local rock club afterwards and running into others that were just at the show... you'd often run into other band members there if they weren't leaving town the same night... The Mason Jar in Phoenix was just nuts...

[@bryandeschenes6153]

My first concert was in 87 when I was 10. It was Poison. Yes, things were a bit different then. There was a sense of being all together and mutual respect. If you fell down in a mosh pit, those around you would pick you right up and make sure you were ok. That etiquette allowed crowds like that to be pretty safe.

[@MP-od1zz]

I love Lex’s reaction while the music plays. I know it has been said in many other videos, but I smile so huge seeing her jam to the music. Bless you guys, keep it up!

[@kevinstarr516]

Oh yeah!! That was filmed in 1987/1988. I saw them in Biloxi, MS on that tour on July 4 weekend. And yes, the energy and action was off the charts. That was exactly what their stage set up was for that tour, too. What you see in this video is what you got when you saw them on that tour.

[@markherring3513]

It was a different scene back then...there were no "assigned seating" and you could get right up to the stage...and you are correct in saying there werent any distractions like cells phones to take you out of the moment...back then the show WAS the distraction. Insurance wasnt as strict as it is now. You could put a girl on your shoulders, get as close to the stage as possible..it added to the circus like atmosphere...NOWADAYS every seat is assigned..no general admission...you cant get close to the stage..you cant party and have BBQ's in the parking lot before or after the show...rules and regulations today make the concert going experience VERY stale. Even outdoor shows have restrictions now to kill the mood...ALSO back then tours only had a headliner and an opening act, thats it! Thats all you needed...now a show is full of multiple acts and whatnot. Back then we just needed the headliner to sell out an arena. The vibe was so laid back and chill bitd. I actually went to this tour..the "Girls Girls Girls" tour....and Guns-N-Roses were the opening act and no one ever heard of them..then literally 2 weeks after I seen the show, "Sweet Child O Mine" hit the air waves and they exploded into stardom..but when they opened for Motley Crue 2 weeks prior no one knew who they were. And this concert was the most fun concert I ever been to and went to them all in the 80's. (im 51 now so the 80's was my scene!)

[@melissas4874]

I'll watch videos people take now and there are people having a convo right next to them. I can't understand why someone would pay to go to a concert just to gossip or talk about BS when a great band (I assume) is in the room with them. I've seen videos of people a few rows back and some chatty chick and her friend are talking and giggling about random stuff. It's just weird to me.

Whoa...Lex is SO spot on when she talks about 80's concerts....the vibe there, how the fans act & even treat each other....just a completely & TOTALLY DIFFERENT energy than ANYTHING ANY musician, band, group-WHATEVER, could even hope to accomplish at a show today. Old school bands who are still together from the late 60's, 70's & 80's & still touring may be able to bring back SOME of that old feel at shows, but I truly believe it's gone. Never will be the same again. Truly makes me depressed ☹️😕😓🤟

Too fast for love, and shout at the devil. Those are the 2 best crue albums. The main riff on Shout at the Devil hooked me for life. I know up above i said Too Fast For Love... But ya know what, Generation Swine is a mighty fine song. They also have a cover of Anarchy in the UK originally by the Sex Pistols thats pretty good. Do yourselves a favor and check them out. You dont have to do a reaction. Check em out when your in the car or whatever. But everybody should hear these songs at least once in their lifetime.

Super fun fact: around the 2:59 mark of this reaction video, you'll see the future frontman of Blind Melon, Shannon Hoon in the crowd. This video was filmed at Market Square Arena in Indianapolis and they played the song twice to get enough footage for the video. Shannon Hoon is from Lafayette, In which is about 60 miles north of Indy. Here's another fun fact....Shannon's sister was friends with William Bailey (aka Axl Rose of GnR) and helped get him on background vocals on a few GnR songs on the Use Your Illusion albums. Don't cry is a song that comes to mind. Anywho, Great reaction!!

[@jonathanappelhans117]

I’m not one to subscribe to KZbin channels, but I’ve totally gotten into these two! As a teen in the 80’s, living between rock and punk, I have to give it up to Lex…she absolutely gets it! No phones. Often no barricades and distance in many venues. You went to the shows and you often became one with the house. Some bands brought this to a rarified level, and you were awash in a welcoming swirl of frenzied unity. Perfect strangers, that ordinarily you might otherwise never talk to and probably won’t after walking out, became your best friends for the length of the show. It didn’t matter, and you didn’t care. For that brief moment in time, your world shrank into this one outrageous space of grace…if you were willing to let go and just let the current take you. Worked in Hollywood music for years in the 90’s-2000’s, and with so much of the ways that mainstream music is made and live shows are planned/produced, and executed, along with the paradigm shift in how people involve themselves in such spaces, Lex is absolutely right. Live shows have an entirely different vibe today. Not that musicians, shows, and crowds can’t be wild or in synch, just that it seems to have become much more difficult to achieve some of that organically generated unification. As an expectation, rather than an anomalous, one-off, lightning-in-a-bottle event. Anyway, I really appreciate their contrasting analytical styles in their approaches. Brad’s sitting back and often describing objective comparisons and contrasts to what he knows and sees between eras and genres, and Lex just leans in, wide-eyed and open, and takes the ride, and reports what’s she’s feeling and how she’s seeing it along the way. She totally gets it. Anyway, there are many that are doing this, and I’ve seen many of them, and to me, you two own a space at the top. Great team and delivery. Best Wishes, J

At least they didn't lie this time and claim it was their FIRST TIME EVER! hearing this constant-airplay classic rock hit single from the 1980s.

[@ClaytonMacleod]

My first concert was in 1985, and was Mötley Crüe. I’ve been to hundreds of concerts since then, including seeing these guys a total of ten times. Concerts in the 80s had the best atmosphere, without a doubt. And were the LOUDEST! My ears rang for three days after that first concert, and they only got louder as time went on, until they started getting sued for hearing loss in the 2000s. Literally everybody had much quieter concerts after that started happening. Arena and stadium shows haven’t been very loud ever since. Kick drums at these shows used to be so loud it felt like a kick in the chest. Nowadays you can hold conversations at concerts. Back then you had to yell as loud as you could at the person standing next to you and *maybe* they could hear you. Things have changed. Audiences have changed, too. The majority of people at shows now are pretty mellow. It is no longer the madhouse of fun that it was back then. Hardly anyone is crazy into the whole show. Hardly anyone yells and cheers. It is rather sad to see. I’m glad I went to tons of shows in the 80s and 90s. It just doesn’t exist like that anymore. Bands still put on good shows but they aren’t loud and the crowds aren’t the same.

Yes, it was recorded in the’80s. 1989 to be precise. I went to this concert my freshman year of high school and when Tommy Lee’s drum set started rotating, people lost their MINDS.

1:44 YOUNG LADY, you just won my heart with this statement. This is EXACTLY what I have been trying to articulate to my son as he gets into music that there is something missing about the energy that we used to conjure with the music of the 80's and early 90's.

[@dannyharris5310]

Lex is right! 💯 percent.. I was there , it was awesome.. The feel, the energy, the smell, the women, the drugs.. I will never forget ! Motley was my first concert in 89

[@franklinzappa7043]

Best Live Concerts in the 80s . Alot of the 80s groups still Rock today. Professional Rockers 🎼🎼🎼🎼 very Underrated Guitarist🎸 Mick Mars🎸

[@therodandclintshow2549]

You guys make my 55 year old ass SO happy that you like 80s ROCK! Great observations. Yes, it was wild and AWESOME! 🤘

[@seandobson6221]

Motley Crue is my favorite hair glam metal group. This song is one of their best. The drum set Tommy Lee rides in this video is the tribute Joey Jordison took for his drum kit flipping over.

I was lucky enough to be invited to the Crues after party at the Hilton. Theater of Pain tour. The were really down to earth guys. Not as crazy as you would think. You're right about shows being different. The energy. It's not the same now. People really looked out for each other. We all had fun.

[@timothyherring3211]

I seen most of the hair bands live in the 80s and early 90s and it was a blast. I always woke up with a neck pain from banging my head , but it was totally worth it. I hated when the music industry stopped making metal rock. Now it's just raw , underground hardcore that turned me into a country boy. I always loved southern rock the best and modern country is now the new southern rock. At least I will always have the memories of the wild times we had . ♥️

The 80's concerts were Great! No social media so whatever happened no one knew unless you happened to see it. GREAT TIMES!!!

[@maybish]

You are spot-on that the 80s concerts were wild! Motley Crue was my first concert when I was 13, this very tour. Tommy Lee's drums were on the riser and during this song the drums did exactly this. It was truly amazing! Everyone went insane. My sister said I looked like the chick near the beginning of the video that had her arm up headbanging!!!

[@AbeWiessman]

Back then concerts were more wild than you could imagine, but in a fun & free way. Today concerts are wild, but in a dangerous kind of way. Back then you could also attend a rock concert & leave with a t-shirt for about what it costs to go to the movies (w snacks) today. I miss those days.

Another great live video from Crue is Same Ole Situation...really shows the fun and energy of the band and crowd.

[@GoldenFingerPIcker]

I was there for the filming of this video. Indianapolis Indiana 1988. They played it like 3 times and it was CRAZY !!!! The Energy was more than you could imagine

[@lisatonzi9728]

I've seen them twice and they were AMAZING!! You're so young! Things were very different. No one worried about offending anyone. It was a rock concert and that's it. SOOOOOOOOO great!!

[@peggiebradley7434]

Absolutely a different wild. It was a blast to go to concerts in the 70's and 80's. We all partied together and the stage shows were just epic.

[@sinister1017]

Lex hit the nail on the head there will never be any concerts like that again and believe me I went to almost every concert back in the 80s

[@TomorrowsChild86]

We would go see concerts 10 times a year to sold out arenas!!! It was the greatest time!!! Loooved seeing Motley Crue.. I saw this concert at New Orleans Arena.. never forget it!!!

[@gvsteady]

The 80s in general not just the concerts was a different feeling among people. Music truly brought people together during that era, I remember it well

[@Vol4Life1962]

In the 80s the crowds fed off the energy given off by the band and just went wild, no cell phones just total emersion in the moment. Why the 80s were the best for music and concerts.

[@smftv]

I agree with you Lex on the 80s energy, however... when someone from that era goes to a concert from one of these bands (including taking their kids to the show) they bring that 80s energy with them! That energy is a feeling, an emotion and it's there! Motley Crüe never really toured after their Dr. Feelgood album and they broke up shortly afterwards. When they reunited many years later, they did a tour of that album cover to cover plus three extra songs. I went to that show. I was 20 rows back, and it was absolutely insane! 🔥

[@jackgilchrist]

Part of it is also that rock fans are old now, and we can't party like we used to do. The people who went to those concerts were teens and 20-somethings. Kids that age today are more likely to be into hip hop and various pop flavors.

[@johnsmith2046]

Another good choice. I'm a lifelong Motley Crue fan. Wild Side is in my top 3 favorite songs of theirs. The song is about life in Los Angeles, which where the band made it big. This song came out the year I turned 14. Cheers from northeast Oio.

[@danrumble74]

Witness Here! 80s concert vibe was absolutely a different energy.. and so was all of society.

[@allenrobison8103]

Love the reaction! Brad & Lex, you are right. It was a different vibe before cell phones. People were present. No distractions.

[@GSPEED-dw3gs]

the 80s concert vibe im sad to say can only be experienced at an 80s concert....damn i sure miss those days :( ..... damn glad i was alive and rockin back then....

[@manlalaban1]

Motley Crue set the standard of Metal bands in the 80’s. Lex has good energy she seems like she would be fun to hang out with

[@chrissiegle1065]

The thing about the 80s... it's that everyone... everyone... was there to just have fun... We were all wild... but with smiles and all in fun... no one wanted to hurt anyone... there were tons of drugs... but it was all just fun. When fights happened, no one tried to kill anyone.. A few punches, someone stayed down, and it was done... everyone was just happy. I really miss that. 😢
