I think Motley Crue is awful, but I kinda like "Looks that Kill."

In my mind, "Same Old Situation" was their biggest hit. I check the discography, however, and I see it went to only number 78.

Pioneers of a whole wave of cultural lows including hair metal, douchewear, the pathetic reality show, the celebrity sex tape, porno culture, etc etc. Fuck these hacks.

Also joined Poison in the realm of pop metal bands marginalized in the nineties in the ascendency of the darker themes of grunge and the darker surviving metal like Metallica. Like Poison, they shifted their sound to a grinding, churning, puking variant and acted all like it was being loyal to their truer character, when it was clearly just trying to keep up with the market, and the marketplace easily saw it as the cynical move it was.

Yeah they even got a new singer for their 1994 follow up to Dr. Feelgood.....John Corabi stepping in to Vince Neil's shoes with his rougher/tougher voice....

I knew this chick who once dated a Crüe roadie -- he told her a story about MC in their early days; as part of a bonding exercise apparently, they all did a girl at same time (literally). Last year, I related the story to a CPFer who conjectured: "I bet Mick Mars got the hand-job".

Some bands did, some bands didn't. Most died out anyway because they just weren't getting label support any more, but there was some really good stuff that came out of the forgotten hair metal years after 1991. To wit:
MC94 is a really good album, as Corabi was a great fit for them. Same with Warrant's "Ultraphobic," Poison's "Native Tongue," and Def Leppard's "Slang." All very much in the same vein as their older stuff, but with a much more modern sound. It totally worked in each of those cases, but the media was too busy making fun of hair bands to care. (I'm passionate about the bands that grew up in that era, so I'm admittedly a little biased.)

I'm less confident that it was a winning move for them. It felt like a surrender to me, and very insincere.

I'm just saying the music is good, and would have fit on the radio if it didn't have "Motley Crue" attached to it.
