I'm no genre nazi, but I belive Theater of Pain and Dr. Feelgood were glam.

Yea, I'm not gonna argue about what genre they fit into, that could take forever. I'm talking about the general consensious (sp?) of the man-on-the-street. When most folks hear the name Motley Crue, they'd think "80's hair band". My dad for example. He doesn't know jack about the music I listen to, but if I asked him about Motley Crue, he'd say "Those guys that looked like girls that you listened to in high school?" It's unfortunate, but sometimes tags like that will stick to a band, no matter how hard they try to distance themselves from it. I'm sure that Nikki hates it, but there is little he can do about it.

Well, they never should have embraced the glam title in the 80's then the problem wouldn't have followed them.

All I know is they could have somehow stayed sober for a little while, they could've been much better. TOP is awful. Girls Girls Girls has like 4 good songs. Dr. Feelgood is decent, and they claim they were sober for that.

The first 2 rule of course.

Crue was one of those bands who changed their image on just about every album...

I'm sure the topic came up and was discussed when they were doing mountains of blow and main-lining Jack Daniels, but they must've forgot about it.

Shawn, you don't think glam is a sound as well as a look?

I'm with you on that one. The 1st 2 albums are great. After that, they had some good songs, but not good albums.

I take back that love comment from earlier.

To a point, but even in that, Crue was always more "Rock N Roll" than "Glam" or "Metal"....they embraced the image moreso than the sound, IMO.

NEVER!! What's said is said! Nothing can ever chage that post. Well, except maybe a moderator.

Same Ol' Situation
Rattlesnake Shake
She Goes Down
Girl Don't Go Away Mad
Slice Of Your Pie

Glam city baby.

just my opinion of course.

I said I took it back. It doesn't mean I love any less. Now let's stop talking about it. I'm getting upset.

Same Ol' Situation - simple 3-chord Rock N Roll

Rattlesnake Shake - groove Rock

She Goes Down - Aerosmith worship

Girl Don't Go Away Mad - Crue's stab @ AOR (those verses are straight AOR)

Slice Of Your Pie - more Aero-worship


IMO, of course.

If I could point to any Crue song as being "Glam", it would be their "Smokin' In The Boys Room" cover...

I know...I'm just busting your chops.

I break things down into much finer categories. I used to get in long debates (for the fun of it) with my fellow record store employees about who was "Hair Metal" and who wasn't...used to drive them up a wall. There was one guy who would almost come out of his skin when I'd tell him that Bon Jovi was not Hair Metal...
