Motley Crue: new tattoo

Picked up this album last Saturday. Played it today on my way back home.

Great album, lots of good tracks.

Any fans of this one?

I remember picking it up as a new release. I like it very much. Take that statement with a grain of salt though. I pretty much like every Crue album to some degree. Even Generation Swine.

I remember liking it when it came out and that it was a return to form following the disaster that was Generation Swine. I haven't listened to it in years.

I love that album, it's very underrated.
I just picked up a vinyl copy.

It's in my top 5 Crue releases:

1. Motley Crue
2. Too Fast For Love
3. Quaternary
4. Shout At The Devil
5. New Tattoo

I like about 3/4 of the songs, not their best but hardly as bad as some have made it out to be.

It's a good album. Lots of good songs on it. I really like it.

Great Album..

Did Randy Castillo play drums on this one? I believe he did. Very nice guy, happened to meet him back stage at an Ozzy show. He was the nicest of the bunch.

Yup. It's the only Crue album without T-Bone. Randy fell ill and passed not too long after that. When I saw them on that tour, Samantha Maloney was behind the kit.

This is the only album you need.

I picked up a used copy of New Tattoo a few months ago for (if memory serves) $2.00. For that price, it wasn't a bad listen. The cover of the Tubes' "White Punks On Dope" alone was worth the two bucks.

Found it at a pawn store for a buck a few months back. The casual listen it got didn't have anything jump out at me. Seems like one of those, "throw something at wall to see what sticks" kind of projects.

Never gave this album a chance. I haven’t heard more than one song. I haven’t really heard anything after Feelgood (except for the singles). Recently I have finally listened to the Corabi album. It’s definitely the best of everything after 1989.

"Punched in the Teeth By Love" is a great song, like old Crue, but beyond that the album isn't very good. Maybe closer to their older stuff than Generation Swine, but the songs are just boring.

Saints of Los Angeles is way better, and even that one isn't all that good.

It’s ok for what it is.Some alright songs on it. It was on par with that time frame. Nothing great.
