Motley Crue - Girls Girls Girls

Administrator Joined : 04 Jan 2007 Posts : 6834

In high school I discovered this cool new band called Motley Crue. I picked up their new album "Too Fast for Love". The metalheads and rockers all picked up on it quick. Then when "Shout At the Devil" was released, we all loved it. After that I lost interest. Too much poodle pink pop for my liking at the time.

Since that time I've picked up a few other Crue albums. Scored Girls Girls Girls from LaLa. After listening to it twice through, all I have to say is that this album was nothing more than two singles and a bunch of filler. The title track and Wild Side are good songs. The rest is just crap. Anyone else have a take on this record?

You pretty much nailed it. It's not a good album, save for a few songs. I can't remember how many I like, but not many—if any—more than the two you mentioned. I think that's the general concensus, too.

Theatre Of Pain is a lot better, in my opinion. That's a good album.

Yeah, I think "Wild Side" It's the best song in it...

Not their worst in my opinion, but "Dr Feelgood" is much better than this album!

I agree with the majority here.Other than a couple of songs this is a below average Crue album.I like Theatre of Pain alot more.

Wild Side was a good song, but I've never heard the whole album.

I'd say Girls is the worst.I even like New Tatoo better than this one

If I had to pick their worst album, I'd probably go with Theater of Pain. Based on that it gets the least amount of spins, almost to the point where it's more or less just a filler/dust collector in my collection. While I didn't immmediatly love Generation Swine, I eventually warmed up to it, same with the s/t-Corabi album. Heck, I even liked New Tattoo.

I only liked a couple songs off this album. I think it's easily their worst release.

Theatre Of Pain was the Crue at their lowest, IMO. Louder Than Hell kicks ass, but the rest of it is crap.

At least GGG had Wild Side, Dancing On Glass and You're All I Need.

Crüe's best album was with Corabi. Still spin it occassionally, and time again I'm surprised how amazing that CD is. People couldn't be bothered by then though - such a shame.

I actually dig this album a lot. It's a pop-metal cash-in, but I'm okay with that.

"Bad Boy Boogie", "Dancin' On Glass", "Five Years Dead", "All In the Name of..." Good stuff.

I haven't listened to it in years though. Now I have to play sometime within the next few days to make sure I know what I'm talking about. Laughing

Man, tough crowd here!

While I think that Girls is the weakest of the original 5 albums, I would still consider it to be a good album. Of course, the title track and "Wild Side" are the standout tracks. However, I wouldn't say the rest is filler. Certainly, songs like "Dancing on Glass" and "Five Years Dead" seem a bit autopilot, but does that mean they're bad? I think Mick's guitar helps even these songs shine. "Bad Boy Boogie" is, of course, a wicked boogie romp, one that adds some 70s blues-rock sound to the album. "All in the Name of.." is prime Crue; I don't see how anyone wouldn't like this song. This song has such an upbeat rock'n'roll sound. The major draw on this album is the riffs and Mick's guiar tone. He's got a wicked-distorted crunch to his guitar that just screams biker metal. I like this album.

But, "Nona" sucks. "You're All That I Need" is a bit too 80s, but still decent.

Girls, Girls, Girls & Dr. Feelgood were somewhat ok. they were a step up from Theater Of Pain. i don't like anything they've done since though.

still love those first 2 albums

I was dissapointed in this when it originally came out. I was a big Crue fan and this is probably where I kinda stopped caring about them. Dr. Feelgood was a decent album but for me the first two are all ya need.

I agree with Ult's summation 100 percent!

Very lukewarm album; lots of filler.

One of the few examples of an album where the best songs are the hits.

I read that Motley themselves say that 'Wildside' and 'Girls Girls Girls' are the only songs from that album that they really care about.

They've still never topped "Stick to your guns! What's right for you ain't right for everyone!"

I've always liked Dancing on Glass, Wildside and You're all I need. The title track is not a fave either. Not a great album.

I know this will sound like extreme genre naziism, but I've always felt that after Shout At The Devil they went from gutsy Metal to generic party rock.
