Kick Start My Heart was written by bassist Nikki Sixx, after he did a fatal dose of heroin and he actually was pronounced dead until they gave him a shot of adrenaline straight to his heart to bring him back to life.
As a retired FDNY Paramedic I will tell you that he was given 2 doses of 1/1000 of Epinephrine via Intracardiac injections into his left ventricle. This procedure was taken out of protocol a long time ago because most paramedics were missing their projected target and puncturing the lung causing more damage. Especially on obese people. You’re supposed to insert the needle into the fourth intercostal space between the ribs. Which would work out perfectly on the average size person. But doing this procedure on an obese person especially in small quarters like the bathroom of someone’s home will almost always present a problem. As a Motley Crue fan I’m glad that paramedic went the extra mile with Sixx. But I’m not sure if that was in protocol in California in 1987. I know it was not part of nyc REMSCO remac. So had this not worked out that paramedic would have opened himself up for multiple lawsuits and probably termination of his employment and possible sanction of his certification. But like I said I’m only speaking from a NYC paramedic. Whoever that paramedic is I know I speak for a lot of people when I saw THANK YOU 🙏. Sixx is the most talented member of Motley Crue the first 4 albums of Crue are amazing and Sixx as an amazing song writer.
That reminds me of one of my friends. He was barely into music at all but currently he started getting into Bon Jovi and loves glam/hair metal now. Not what I was expecting, that's for sure, hahaha
Its not autotune. Its a device that hooks up to your mic and your guitar amp, which combines your voice and your guitar into one instrument, creating the effect of making your guitar sound like it is talking. It was very popular in the 70s and 80s.
That’s a terrible description of a talk box lol. Stick a headphone or your phone speaker in your mouth. Open and close your mouth while the music is playing. Same thing. A talk box runs the guitar sound through a surgical tube. You put the tube in your mouth and stand in front of mic. When you open and close your mouth, it modulates the sound
Mars was just ok. Mars had pre recorded rythmn guitar tracks all through the 80' s when they played "live " motley crue also had pre recorded back ground vocals...they were horrible live. All this admitted by mars on eddie trunk.
@@mooch514 I wouldn't say they were horrible live, Vince, absolutely, but musically they kicked ass, vocals not so much though. I seen them about 15 times, but as a band the music was tight.
@@JustinSmithPYRO i saw them a few times because i like the opening bands they had...most of those bands blew them off the stage...the opening bands had better clear sounds...motley crue sounded fuzzy...vince neil was horrible...plus motley crue had pre recorded back up vocals and rythmn guitar tracks...nah...smoke and mirrors
This song is pure adrenaline and testosterone. My uber-religious parents actually played this for my brother at his surprise 16th birthday party--they actually rented a strobe light and when he opened the door, this song started and it was NEXT-LEVEL thriling. He got tickets for his birthday to see them in concert like 6 weeks later on this (the Dr. Feelgood) tour. I was JEALOUS as HELL. :)
As a real fan from the 80s, Motley Crue is still my favorite rock band. You are awesome for checking them out, and you are right about how lit this song gets you!
You are already ahead of the game by appreciating Mick Mars that quick. He is so quiet compared to Vince, Tommy, & Nikki that he got lost in the shuffle per say. Probably the most talented band from top to bottom. Each of them are top ten at their instrument.
One of my favorite things to do is to watch and see how people react to my favorite songs and you my friend did not dissapoint to put a smile on my face 😁🤘🏽 There's so much joy and love of life energy, it's actually one of the main songs in my lifes playlist that helped pull me out of dark depression that I have such a deep appreciation for this tune. Keep rockin em my friend and hopes you enjoy a great life bro. 🤘🏽
I’m soooo glad young guys are getting their taste of Motley Crue and loving it !!! I was in my teens in the 80’s and Crue was my favorite band. I saw them live for the Dr. Feelgood tour (this songs CD) when they played this song, the Cow Palace in Daily City (Near SF) went insane!
I was born in 05... lucky for me my dad got me listing to rock at a young age. At 9 I saw my first concert and it was Mötley Crüe and Alice cooper. Since than I’ve seen 39 bands live 😅
This is my absolute favorite song by my favorite band. I absolutely love this guys reaction to Kick Start My Heart. When he says “It’s lit, it makes you do the stank face” I busted out laughing realizing that’s what I do every time I hear this song. Great critique young man. Loved it!!!
He was awesome. Sad when he died. They tried to say he died because he wasnt wearing his seat belt an was thrown, but his finance said he was an that people were helping them out of the smashed car not realizing they shouldn't move them because not knowing his neck was broke and that's what killed him.
Definitely not auto-tune. This is the 80's man... auto-tune was probably used in the studio here and there, but it wasn't used like it is today. Like on purpose to create a different sound.
@@newgrl Auto Tune didn't exist in the 80's. We were using fully analog magnetic tapes, and even automation was scarce - only in the biggest, most-high-dollar studios in the 80's. The engineers and producers were as vital to a band's sound as were the actual artists and musicians.
@@ace1usmc Good to know. I just knew from a consumer of music in the 80's that it wasn't used as it is today. Interesting to find out that it wasn't even available.
its absolutely rediculous how underrated these bands are back then, and its honestly dissapointing that most kids today are not familiar with these bands. but hey i guess things change and so do people
Underrated??? This album was HUGE when it came out. The fans knew they'd nearly lost Nikki and so they were really excited by his comeback. Sold-out shows everywhere. I was in high school and all the metalheads could talk about after their show near us was Tommy mooning the crowds during his drum solo. It was wild.
Live in concert was lit. It sounds like you are starting to be a Crue head. Heres a earlier song request for you Mötley Crüe - Live Wire This came out in 1981. I was 10 years old. Its their first video Mötley Crüe - Too Young To Fall In Love
They were just the ultimate rock band, just like Guns N Roses. Weren't experts at their instruments. Well except Mars in my opinion. Lol. But man they were the epitome of the "rock star band" and life.
That's exactly how I talk about them. Not the best musicians in the world, but they were like we're just going to come out and rock your face off and give you the best show you've ever seen.
Motley Crue are rock legends! They're definitely in my top 10 bands of (my) all time. I grew up listening to them and yes, I've seen them in concert and it was phenomenal. Bands like this shaped my childhood and I still listen to this type of music to this very day at 43 years old.
Motley Crue are one of the legends. Watch The Dirt on Netflix and you'll see what they've done. They are the definition of sex, drugs and rock n roll. Poison, Warrent,. Bon Jovi, Skid Row, Aerosmith... They all left their marks.
This was one of those bands that ruled the 80s. In other words, my high school years. If you need more adrenaline music, try Iron Maiden's "Run To The Hills" preferably the live version from the Flight 666 tour.
So I'm 41, and I think given your recent reactions, you will appreciate this. In 1990, my mom took me to my first concert. It was Billy Joel live at Yankee Stadium. The show was awesome. The next weekend, my step-mom took me to my second concert. Yup, Motley Crue. They started that show with Kickstart My Heart. It was unforgettable. Thank you for all the work you are putting in to this channel, so we can join you in your musical journey. It has been a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to what's ahead.
Saw them several times in the 80s and early 90a and yes thats just how their concerts went! Crazy badass band! You need to see when Tommy Lee drums upside down over the crowd, that was bitch'n!
I love watching rappers listen to motley crue it lets me know there’s hope for the future I know I’m probably the only 14 year old that listens to motley crue,Black Sabbath, and ac/dc regularly
It's awesome that someone from a completely different genera of music can listen to something totally different and still love it. Keep being you, Jojo
That thing in his mouth was a talk box. To hear 2 masters use it try Peter Frampton "Do You Feel Like I Do" & Joe Walsh "Rocky Mountain Way", which is a banger!
The pure energy of heavy metal is what makes it my favorite genre. Metal isn't for chilling out and relaxing to the sunset. Metal is for getting things accomplished.
@3:10 - "This song is lit, fool." ... If I had those words to describe it back in The Day, that's what I would have used. Just found your channel from this video - definitely a new sub. Thanks for your work!
I love this song!!! Gets me so PUMPED!!! Mötley Crüe is BADASS! They LIVED the 80s rockstar life!!! Drugs, booze, and girls. They lived what they sang about (and it obviously didn't go well sometimes, but that's how it was back then)!
It's a talk box, man. He's talking through his guitar. Peter Frampton is most famous for it but I recommend Scorpions - The Zoo A good version is (Live in Berlin 1990)
Saw them in concert in 2013. The same night I also saw Kiss and Thin Lizzy. 3 of the worlds greatest rock bands in one night. Incredible. The truly crazy part of the night was when Motley had to end the show early because Vince Neil had to be rushed to hospital because he was in excruciating pain from kidney stones and shortly thereafter underwent surgery to have them removed. I've been to many live concerts but that night was one I'll never forget.
I feel so sorry for you younger folks out there who didn't get to experience the 80's. The music was freakin awesome. No cell phones. No computers. It was face to face, outdoors, awesome concerts, real life, and real freedom.
“I feel sorry” yet we have new bands like Crashdiet, Reckless Love, Airbourne. Etc. Educate yourself with the modern shit before saying we don’t get to enjoy it. Yes glam and hair bands were born in the era but they didn’t die
@@Blondebombshell87 I'm sure those bands are great and definitely not putting anybody down. It was just a different time. Beyond just the music, there was much more freedom. Nobody snapping cell pics or tweeting your latest antics to the world. People talked face to face. We had atari video games but they didn't keep us inside long. Was something to do on a rainy day for a little bit. The whole environment had a different, less stressful feel then.
@@Blondebombshell87No need to be a nasty ass about it. I feel sorry for people who didn't get to live through and enjoy the 80s and our music too. I don't need to "educate myself" about anything to feel this way.
The minute it started & you got that smile, is the exact reaction everyone gets The 1st time & everytime after. I love it & your reaction. Motley Crue is one of my FAV bands, I saw them in concert several times.
When you thought you heard "auto-tune" was, in fact, the Talk Box, more prominently heard on Bon Jovi's "Livin On A Prayer", Weezer/"Beverly Hills", Joe Walsh/"Rocky Mountain Way" & Peter Frampton/"(Oooh Baby) I Love Your Way...among others.....
This song jams. Check out Tommy Lee (Motley Crue's drummer) on the drums and all his crazy contraptions, like being in a box that gets turned upside down, his roller coaster track, his wheel that goes all the way in circles like a ride at the fair where he goes upside down
Not sure how I stumbled across this but I love watching youth listen to older music and get into it! I have a group of 19-22 year olds that come to me everyday asking me if I know this rock group Van Halen and other ones.....HAHAHA. Keep making videos young man,you got a great personality and are very entertaining to watch and listen to. My bet is you have a bright future ahead of you!!
I love rap. I also love the Crue. You can do both. My two favorite musical memories are seeing the Crue play this in person, and being at Darien Lake in 1990 to see Tesla play Heaven's Trail. There is a lyric in that song that refers to it starting to rain. As they started playing the song, the clouds opened up and dropped about 3 inches of rain, lightning and thunder (it was an outdoor concert). Talk about special effects! And not one single person sought safety. We all just stood there captivated. Ah to be 20 again!
This awesome track is from their Dr Feelgood album- tour 1989-90 - I saw them in Houston. One of the best live concerts I ever attended. 💥 It really was Lit...at times, literally 💥Great reaction video.
just ran across this..Omg you just made my month. What a great video. Ive been fortunate to see them live a few times. And for those who have u know how over the top they are at showing out. For my money no other band transends sex drugs and rock n roll more than them. Keep up the work ill be coming back for more. Much love
Niki Six wrote this song after he OD’d and had to be resuscitated with an adrenaline shot. After checking himself out of the hospital against doctors orders He went home shot up another rail and wrote the lyrics.
@@CTMed-Growers-Association0420 TWO adrenaline shots, bro. The story goes that one of the EMTs was a huge Crue fan and after the first shot didn't work, he was screaming "Nikki Sixx is NOT going to die in my ambulance!" while he slammed the second one home.
I absolutely love this video, quite amazing to see two opposite ends of the spectrum of genre of music coming together. I wish I grew up in the 80s... lemme go back to the past man
The words have a double meaning. Nikki Sixx was a heroin addict and arrested from an overdose. The EMT kept using cardioversion as he recognized his patient. Nikki mentioned waking and seeing the epinephrine syringe in his chest...hence the words of "kickstart my heart, hope it never stops". It is also the story of the band.
2:05 For me, it makes me think of a small group of M1 Abrams tanks blasting through the desert at top speed, especially with the chorus. It hits H A R D.
🤟😎Motley Crüe has been my favourite band for over 35 years, they have a ton of great tunes and put on a great show! Now that we’re all getting older, I’ve started calling them Moldy Crud, with love of course 😻✌️
Kick Start My Heart was written by bassist Nikki Sixx, after he did a fatal dose of heroin and he actually was pronounced dead until they gave him a shot of adrenaline straight to his heart to bring him back to life.
TWO shots directly in his heart. Paramedic was a Motley Crue fan
As a retired FDNY Paramedic I will tell you that he was given 2 doses of 1/1000 of Epinephrine via Intracardiac injections into his left ventricle. This procedure was taken out of protocol a long time ago because most paramedics were missing their projected target and puncturing the lung causing more damage. Especially on obese people.

So had this not worked out that paramedic would have opened himself up for multiple lawsuits and probably termination of his employment and possible sanction of his certification. But like I said I’m only speaking from a NYC paramedic. Whoever that paramedic is I know I speak for a lot of people when I saw THANK YOU 🙏. Sixx is the most talented member of Motley Crue the first 4 albums of Crue are amazing and Sixx as an amazing song writer.
2 shots
Glad someone said it... true Crue fan!!!
@@Rusty_trombone62 whoever he was I’m sure he’s retired now.
Literally impossible to be driving down the interstate, hear this song come on the radio, and not crank the volume and speed.
I got a speeding ticket listening to this song. It was worth it, lol!
@@sikes442 Lmao! Right?!!!
@@sikes442 haven't we all?
Oh hell yeah, this and Sammy Hagar "I can't drive 55"
Haha...Always have , always will !!
Warning: if you listen to this while driving you WILL get a speeding ticket
And probably crash by the looks of the cars on the video.
But not quite as much as listening to Sammy's "I can't Drive 55"
Anyone who got their license in 1990 like I did definitely got some speeding tickets because of this song. I know i got at least 3-4
Me and my dad have heard it two times on the interstate and he never got a ticket
It happened to me recently. Haha!
I love the fact that even though you come from a different musical background, you're still rocking out to 80's glam metal like a true rocker
That reminds me of one of my friends. He was barely into music at all but currently he started getting into Bon Jovi and loves glam/hair metal now. Not what I was expecting, that's for sure, hahaha

Bassist Nikki Sixx wrote this song after he died from a Heroin overdose...yes... AFTER
And he's still alive today.
Nikki Sixx! I was so in love with him when I was 16. Had an image of him airbrushed on the back of my Levi's denim jacket.
Funny how many people think this is a love song! Luckily the young paramedic didn't give up on his idol!
He also overdosed in London on Valentine’s Day. Woke up in dumpster because his dealer thought he died and tossed him in it.
Yes Nikki died twice or three times he admitted it in an interview ,but yes he definitely wrote the song when he came back to life .
It's the same thing with slash he died and came back to life

@@RaderizDorret Make sure to not party too hard, it's probably a bit difficult to get new albums wherever we end up after death.

Imagine being concert and hearing this???....Opening song on their Dr. Feelgood tour.
Mötley Crüe were "A" listers in their genre of that era.
"is that auto time?" Hell no that's a talk box. Check out Peter Frampton he was the best with a talk box.
Saw him do it live. It was badass
i laughed when he said auto tune
"Do you feel like I do?" Omg! Yes! Frampton killed it with the talk box on that song!
Sweet Emotion by Aerosmith and Livin’ On A Prayer by Bon Jovi are other famous songs that use the talk box
don't forget roger troutman

Mötley Crüe - Too Young To Fall In Love
Their first album was so raw loved it.
Live wire is one of the best songs they every did 🤘🤘
The first album was their best ! I was a little older than ten but damn it was great!
Cuz im alive. Im a live wiiiire
Take me to the top was also great off that album
Crue was never one of the most technically proficient bands but they knew how to put on a show
Fr what I’ve always said
Yup great show & just fun
They were just the ultimate rock band, just like Guns N Roses. Weren't experts at their instruments. Well except Mars in my opinion. Lol. But man they were the epitome of the "rock star band" and life.

This Party has never stopped lmao; even into our 50’s, it’s a constant state of “looking for another good time...”
I hear you Bro
I'm in my 30s
And the Party might slow down sometimes
But it will never ever completely stop till my last breath
Love this band, Such a kick-ass song love the 80s!!! Keep up the great work brother 🙏
I love watching rappers listen to motley crue it lets me know there’s hope for the future
I know I’m probably the only 14 year old that listens to motley crue,Black Sabbath, and ac/dc regularly
It's awesome that someone from a completely different genera of music can listen to something totally different and still love it. Keep being you, Jojo
Nikki got inspiration for this song from one of his overdoses. I like seeing the younger generation find music I grew up listening to and enjoying it
That thing in his mouth was a talk box. To hear 2 masters use it try Peter Frampton "Do You Feel Like I Do" & Joe Walsh "Rocky Mountain Way", which is a banger!
Been Backstage with the Crue 3 times, Fuckin Wild Fun!!!
And Bon Jovi - Living On A Prayer
Now I gotta go listen to those two songs. 😍
The pure energy of heavy metal is what makes it my favorite genre. Metal isn't for chilling out and relaxing to the sunset. Metal is for getting things accomplished.
At this point, your not just a rap fan. Your a rock fan.
Kick-start my heart, may as well start off strong, go big or go home lol
The musical equivalent to a shot of adrenaline
Your life will forever be changed now that you have listen to the Crue welcome to fam my friend 🤟🏼
@3:10 - "This song is lit, fool." ... If I had those words to describe it back in The Day, that's what I would have used. Just found your channel from this video - definitely a new sub. Thanks for your work!
It’s a huge difference between a rap star and a rock star. I’m glad you see that
“Makes me make that stank face, like somebody farted “. Lmao!!
🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This and "Wild Side" are my fav Motley Crue songs.
I like Dr. Feelgood
These 3 and live wire!
Wild side is so good
@@carters527 Dr Feelgood is my fav
@@0iceman092
It was the first song from them I heard
My guy they were the ultimate glam rock group. Motley Crue was something else. They made their own sound
I love this song!!! Gets me so PUMPED!!! Mötley Crüe is BADASS! They LIVED the 80s rockstar life!!! Drugs, booze, and girls. They lived what they sang about (and it obviously didn't go well sometimes, but that's how it was back then)!
ANYTIME Sam Kinison escorted you anywhere, you know it was going to be legendary. 🤘🏼
It's a talk box, man. He's talking through his guitar. Peter Frampton is most famous for it but I recommend Scorpions - The Zoo
A good version is (Live in Berlin 1990)
Roger Trout was 🔥 on the talkbox back then also
Saw them in concert in 2013. The same night I also saw Kiss and Thin Lizzy. 3 of the worlds greatest rock bands in one night. Incredible. The truly crazy part of the night was when Motley had to end the show early because Vince Neil had to be rushed to hospital because he was in excruciating pain from kidney stones and shortly thereafter underwent surgery to have them removed. I've been to many live concerts but that night was one I'll never forget.
It’s cool when the young folks like our music! I grew up in the 80’s
I have been waiting for this. Now check out Girls, Girls ,Girls, and Dr. Feel good by Motley Crue.
Wild side 🖤 that's another great song of theirs! And live wire
Don’t forget same ol situation
@@eurikaherholdt9795 I was just going to comment...don’t forget wild side! I also love city boy blues and dancing on glass.
@@JBrewner-lb8ek I think it's because Wild Side is my all time favourite song of theirs, though I do enjoy all their music 🙂
@@eurikaherholdt9795 same!
I've just discovered your channel, and I love your reactions. They are so real. Thanks for doing these videos.
So cool to see the younger generation rediscovering the awesome music from the past.
Kickstart My Heart is one of my top 5 hype songs ever!! Everytime i hear that song it gets me soooo pumped!!!
I feel so sorry for you younger folks out there who didn't get to experience the 80's. The music was freakin awesome. No cell phones. No computers. It was face to face, outdoors, awesome concerts, real life, and real freedom.
“I feel sorry” yet we have new bands like Crashdiet, Reckless Love, Airbourne. Etc. Educate yourself with the modern shit before saying we don’t get to enjoy it. Yes glam and hair bands were born in the era but they didn’t die
@@Blondebombshell87 I'm sure those bands are great and definitely not putting anybody down. It was just a different time. Beyond just the music, there was much more freedom. Nobody snapping cell pics or tweeting your latest antics to the world. People talked face to face. We had atari video games but they didn't keep us inside long. Was something to do on a rainy day for a little bit. The whole environment had a different, less stressful feel then.
@@Blondebombshell87No need to be a nasty ass about it. I feel sorry for people who didn't get to live through and enjoy the 80s and our music too. I don't need to "educate myself" about anything to feel this way.
Motley Crue: Checked
Twisted Sister: Loading
Steel Panther: Standing by
Ughh.. Is Steel Panther even a real serious band.
YES IT IS
I was just listening to Steel Panther😂😂😂 they are actually amazing🤘🏻🤘🏻
Love Steel Panther.
I grew up listening to this music 80's n 90's were the shit!!!! Mad parties!!!! The good days!!!!🙅♀️😍💥💯💓💓💓💓
Love the reaction to Motley Crew... Great to see the younger crowd listening to the older music...
So glad I was a teenager growing up on the 80s.
Wish I was ha
man do I envy you, cheap muscle cars, cheap gas, absolutely fantastic music
You lucky mutha... I am into 80s stuff, so I'm jealous of u!
I love the “you have to do jumping jacks until the song ends”! Laughing so hard!
The minute it started & you got that smile, is the exact reaction everyone gets The 1st time & everytime after. I love it & your reaction. Motley Crue is one of my FAV bands, I saw them in concert several times.
Glad that you're checking it out. That's my favorite song by Motley Crue 😊
When you thought you heard "auto-tune" was, in fact, the Talk Box, more prominently heard on Bon Jovi's "Livin On A Prayer", Weezer/"Beverly Hills", Joe Walsh/"Rocky Mountain Way" & Peter Frampton/"(Oooh Baby) I Love Your Way...among others.....
Not even close to auto-tune. What?!
This song jams. Check out Tommy Lee (Motley Crue's drummer) on the drums and all his crazy contraptions, like being in a box that gets turned upside down, his roller coaster track, his wheel that goes all the way in circles like a ride at the fair where he goes upside down
Tommy Lee changed Hair rock.
They are Masters of their craft and yes they make it look easy :-)
Not sure how I stumbled across this but I love watching youth listen to older music and get into it! I have a group of 19-22 year olds that come to me everyday asking me if I know this rock group Van Halen and other ones.....HAHAHA. Keep making videos young man,you got a great personality and are very entertaining to watch and listen to. My bet is you have a bright future ahead of you!!
I love when people are open to new music genres 🙃
Be careful driving while listening to this
Real talk I got in a car accident all because of this song, crraazzyyy 😂😂😂😂
I love rap. I also love the Crue. You can do both.
My two favorite musical memories are seeing the Crue play this in person, and being at Darien Lake in 1990 to see Tesla play Heaven's Trail. There is a lyric in that song that refers to it starting to rain. As they started playing the song, the clouds opened up and dropped about 3 inches of rain, lightning and thunder (it was an outdoor concert). Talk about special effects! And not one single person sought safety. We all just stood there captivated. Ah to be 20 again!
This awesome track is from their Dr Feelgood album- tour 1989-90 - I saw them in Houston. One of the best live concerts I ever attended. 💥 It really was Lit...at times, literally 💥Great reaction video.
I always love how they snuck the record scratch into this song. Its subtle but it's there and it fit so perfect.
Nikki Sixx wrote this song after overdosing in a hotel and they had to use the shock paddles on him hence “kickstart” my heart.
No, it was 2 adrenaline shots to his heart
Motley Crue is one of the great 80s bands of all time... Never gets old...
just ran across this..Omg you just made my month. What a great video. Ive been fortunate to see them live a few times. And for those who have u know how over the top they are at showing out. For my money no other band transends sex drugs and rock n roll more than them. Keep up the work ill be coming back for more. Much love
This song came about after Nikki overdosed on heroin, hence the title Kickstart my Heart.
The song is about him almost overdosing on heroin wich happened in real life
Niki Six wrote this song after he OD’d and had to be resuscitated with an adrenaline shot. After checking himself out of the hospital against doctors orders He went home shot up another rail and wrote the lyrics.
@@CTMed-Growers-Association0420 TWO adrenaline shots, bro.
The story goes that one of the EMTs was a huge Crue fan and after the first shot didn't work, he was screaming "Nikki Sixx is NOT going to die in my ambulance!" while he slammed the second one home.
I absolutely love this video, quite amazing to see two opposite ends of the spectrum of genre of music coming together.
I wish I grew up in the 80s... lemme go back to the past man
The words have a double meaning. Nikki Sixx was a heroin addict and arrested from an overdose. The EMT kept using cardioversion as he recognized his patient. Nikki mentioned waking and seeing the epinephrine syringe in his chest...hence the words of "kickstart my heart, hope it never stops". It is also the story of the band.
Listen to:
Dancing on glass
Helter Skelter
Shout at the Devil
Too fast for love
Yes!!!!!! Too Young to Fall in Love.
Primal Scream and Wild Side too!
Listen to every song from the first 5 Albums lol
@@tristanwibel4250 yes those albums were so amazing🤘🏻
@@lynettetaggart59 Wild side was my favorite for the longest time🤘🏻🤘🏻
Now check out "Dr. Feelgood"!
2:05 For me, it makes me think of a small group of M1 Abrams tanks blasting through the desert at top speed, especially with the chorus. It hits H A R D.
🤟😎Motley Crüe has been my favourite band for over 35 years, they have a ton of great tunes and put on a great show! Now that we’re all getting older, I’ve started calling them Moldy Crud, with love of course 😻✌️
