I don’t like how this documentary is portraying Nikki’s mom as such an angel, and Nikki as rebellious teenager. His mom was a neglectful, abusive mother. Nikki built his career all by himself, with the help of his 3 brothers in the Crue. That’s it

[@stevestringer7351]

I tend to agree with you. Nikki is, among a lot of things.... a self made man. He knew what he wanted and found the right crew to help him get there.

"IF YOU WANNA LIVE LIFE BY YOUR OWN TERMS, YOU GOTTA BE WILLING TO CRASH AND BURN." He just simply refused to be denied.

I was like, " look at them wild ass b****""!" He told me that they were dudes and Awesome! When I graduated I moved in with my childhood friend (R.I.P) Todd. He had posters if them everywhere on his walls. I started reading up on them, and there life style was like ours. All party and no food. Cheese and and bacon soda in the fridge. I joined the Army and did my time, but the Crue kept rockin'! I finally went to the Dr. Feel Good concert with my Temple, Tx heads in Austin, Tx,, and that was off the charts!!!

My mind was blown away, I couldn’t describe how I felt. I had chills all over and that is when I became their fan. Next day I bought their CD discography and until this day I never stopped listening to them.

Well all I know is my 80s life wouldn't of been complete without this band. I'm 52 today and I still love when a song comes on the vehicles radio. Good memories.

As a 52yr old female I can totally relate. I actually think they were great and my school days wouldn't have been the same without them. Class of 1988 rocked!

Some may complain about how they left out the dangerous and stupid things they did and the addiction, but this is the story of the early days. I love this snapshot of the energy and promise of this period. They end this doc with the beginning of the craziness. And Mick stayed sane through it all.

I still remember going into a record store and buying the "Shout at the Devil" album when it first came out. When I first looked at it I was thinking "who are these chicks?" LMAO! Then, I ended up liking the album so much that I played it constantly. It would have been totally awesome to be in Hollywood hanging out on the Sunset Strip back then. I wish I hadn't lived so far North of there. I was in my room playing my guitar for like 8 to 10 hours a day back in the early '80s. Those were the ultimate days to be there in Hollywood and have a good chance of getting into a band and making it big. Dam...I missed out. :( I still like to make trips to Hollywood to go to the clubs and see bands there. There's still some of that magical feeling there left over from the good ol' days. At least the Whiskey, Roxy, Viper Room, Troubadour, and a few other clubs are still there. :)

[@deb7412]

@OZRIC1985 it is 6 years later and I'd like to know if those clubs are still there in March 2024? Your comment kind of made me laugh with you saying you wished you hadn't lived so far North of there because I wished/wish the same. Though you I'm guessing didn't live so far North of there that you couldn't get in a car and do a road trip if you could drive or had friends who could drive and had cars? My to far North from there was then, and still is now impossible even with a road trip, bus or train with a vast ocean separating me from those clubs in gloomy repressive UK where most people can't afford air fare or sea fare tickets further than Crete/Turkey, if lucky the Maldives for a week. I can't afford air fare tickets to anyway anymore with the cost of living having gone up so much. I once went to Florida as a young teenager and loved loved loved it, was devastated to have to return to dark ages backwards North/North West UK. I have though lived abroad when younger in Europe and a few Islands just off there before they became part of Europe and the day the UK joined Europe I jumped estatically with joy, my freedom pass doors wide open welcoming. And the day of Brexit and England leaving Europe insanely, well that was my coffin nailed and sealed. Money devalued, UK prices rocketed, certain products vanished from the shelves and those welcoming open doors within actual Europe now slammed in British faces. I truly feel trapped, held hostage, held prisoner, held under repressive oppressive dark aged poverty stricken backwards UKUSSR (made that word up, it is fitting) dictatorship unable to escape the crushing gestapo vice grip of the silencing how dare you even breathe UK!

I own this on Vhs and recently put it to dvd!! Awesome piece of History from my favorite band. I purchased it at a record store in Hollywood. It was Hand written label like a family vacation trip you recorded on video. It even said poor quality on it. Motley Crue-1st show-poor quality picture!! I purchased it at the same store where i got my Leathure record. I still have that also!! Oh man, I was on cloud nine that day scoring stuff from the greatest metal band. I think LA had like 400 record stores then. I dont remember what store. I had to watch my copy to at the same time as this to make sure it was the same show i have. Lol. Yep Nikki and the guys are killing it!! It came from a cheap consumer camcorder but i dont care. Im glad someone thought to record it. So thanks to whoever did this!!I This is Crucial Crue In the Beginning.

I knew his mom was a beauty queen, so this shouldn't surprise me. Is that where Tommy learned to dance too? Beauty queens have to be in the talent competition too. ❤❤❤🤟🌸👍! Vince's daddy is funny. Wee wee all over his face. That's what little boys do! Vince was a beautiful little kid. Perfect model! He was so cute! Look at him. Vince a dancer too and a figure skater? WOW!!!

This video REALLY takes me back. When I had been in JR High school, about 1984, I had bought myself a cassette tape of "Too fast for love", at a flea market. It had ended up being a cheap copy of the real thing. BUT, I did still play that cassette of "Too fast for love" in my "walkman" over and over. I had just met my current Best friend forever, we are STILL best friends and will always be. And, we had BOTH ended up falling in LOVE with heavy metal music. Bands like Motley Crue, Ozzy and Skid Row had been what had ended up being what we had been excited about. Even some other bands like "SLAUGHTER", WOULD END UP BEING POSSIBLY SEEN AND HEARD AND ALSO CHOSEN TO BE THE real " FAVORITE PLACE OF MAYBE some OF THE "FANCY SHMANCY" LINE OF PEOPLE AND EVEN THE LINE OF PEOPLE THAT WILL INCLUDE THEM HAVING AT LEAST A few LITTLE OR MAYBE EVEN JUST 1 POSSIBLE real "HIT SONG" THAT WOULD MAKE MOST OF THE BANDS BE EVENTUALLY SEEN AS BEING WORTHY OF BEING MENTIONED AND THEN MAYBE "INTERVIEWED". IT WOULD BE JUST A SITUATION WHERE THE PERSON WHO IS BEING INTERVIEWED IS BASICALLY IN CONTROL OF THE WHOLE SITUATION. AND THAT IS BASICALLY A SITUATION WHERE I MUST HAVE BEEN IN CONTROL OF ALL OF THE EMOTIONAL STUFF. AND, I HAD BEEN REALLY IN CONTROL OF MY OWN EMOTIONS THAT DAY.
