#MotleyCrue #KickstartMyHeart #RappersReact
The phrase "kickstart my heart" supposedly refers to Sixx's heroin overdose incident where a paramedic injected his heart with adrenaline. Sixx refers to it in his book.
The pause in the song when it slows down is apparently Sixxs heart stopping, when the tempo picks back up, the adrenalin has kicked in.
Beat me to it haha 😂😆
Yeap....OD'ed went back home and tried to do it again...
He had 2 adrenaline shots, the first one didn’t work, but one of the medics was a motley crew fan so gave him another & it worked 👍🏻
Nikki Sixx is the reason they invited Narcan.
"they don't look like they do drugs" according to Ozzy Osbourne this was the only band of the 80s that was close to keeping up with him. There's some crazy stories of them touring together.
Like snorting ants!! 😂
@@cryshark Which has been refuted numerous times and not corroborated by anyone but the band. Physically, if he did snort ants, he would be dead from asphyxiation because they would have bitten and swollen up his nostrils and air pipes.
Hell these were the guys that when they couldn't get any drugs they started shooting up Jack Daniels
@@TheBlackQueen not corroborated by anyone but the band... so not corroborated by anyone... but the eye witnesses?
Do you know what corroborated means?
They've brought this up in interviews a number of times
Obviously they were all so wasted who knows what they remember, but i doubt four people misremembered this.
That's too far a stretch. I'd believe one guy could be wrong, i'd be very skeptical that two could be. Four is enough to send anyone to the electric chair.
@@rockyseverino9230 You know how I know it's bullshit? Because snorting ants is a guaranteed death sentence. There's nowhere else for the ants to go but your esophagus and lungs, and if even a few ants made it to the former, knowing how ants are under levels of stress, they will bite. If your airways are bitten by just a few ants, they can swell up enough to completely close off all oxygen from flowing. Now imagine a whole line of ants being snorted and the likelihood of death is at least tripled.
But if that's not good enough, then take it from Jake E. Lee, another eye witness whom, unlike the rest of the band and Ozzy, was actually sober during the event and was adamant that, of all the stories told about that stay, the Ants one was completely made up. Ozzy snorted a tiny spider, and it luckily didn't have any life-threatening reactions, likely because it could have not gone far. To the drugged-up states of Motley's and Ozzy's minds, that could have embedded itself as a false memory of snorting ants.
So yes, the ones that I choose to believe are not the fucked up as hell band members that admit they can barely remember anything, but rather the one sober guy watched the whole thing.
Mick Marrs lead guitar skills and tone on this album resulted in proper metalheads accepting Motley Crue into the metal community. Up to this album they were considered more of a hairband popular with females. But Mick blew everyone's ears out with his solo's and riffs on this album forcing even their strongest critics to agree the boys had serious chops.
I don't know about that the tone on the 1st 2 Motley albums were tasty . Shout at the Devil was heavy as hell. When they brought out Theater of Pain to show their softer side to keep Vince out of Prison is when true Metal heads turned their backs on the Crue.
@@XA351GT Yep. Motley Crue had the metal community's attention since around Shout at the Devil
Mick Mars is extremely underrated as a guitarist
100%!!!
No true words. He was overshadowed I think by the other band members' many antics, the fact he was considerably older than them, and his physical condition ( he has a disease that caused his bones to fuse so he pretty much stood still on stage). But he absolutely crushed this song.
Absolutely!!
Nikki sixx (the bass player) helped write this song. Its about the time he O.D.ed and died. When the ambulance came and got him one of the paramedics was a big motley crue fan and he said "this is nikki sixx hes not dying tonight!" Then he shoved 2 needles of adrenalin into his heart and brought him back to life.
What do you mean helped he did write all of it he’s was crues songwriter
@@tilz4527 I know what you mean but he didn't write the riffs or the drums. It was his idea but the rest of the band helped him bring this song to life is what I mean.
Sixx wrote this song too including the music
Later known as the "Mia Wallace treatment"😂
"Nikki helped to write the song" No shit Sherlock
Yes!!! That was Sam Kinison. He did a remake of "Wild thing" with a mega all star band. Check out all the stars in the video.
Sam Kinison was a legend. Loved him in Back To School.
Tommy Lee is one of the most popular drummers. But I doubt ANYONE would consider him one of the best. He was a perfect fit for Motley but their music didn't require anything complex
Reminds me of someone else
*cough* Travis Barker *cough*
@@mikethemotormouth Couldn't agree more as someone who grew up on Blink
Nothing complex sure but he's groovy and energetic, I think that what matters with Motley Crüe's drums
Motley was just a fun band. Sold a bazillion albums. And were superstars back in the day. Nobody cared if they were superb musicians. Their product sold and everyone ate it up. I don't listen to the radio and change the station because the band can't play Mozart. I just want to hear a good song. I guess if AC/DC played more technical music, they probably would have made it in the music industry.
Very entertaining drummer, has chops, and is worth watching. Add in some fun tunes and it's all good.
There's an 80's Southern Rock Band called Jackyl and the song "Lumberjack" will blow your mind. One word.. CHAINSAW.... Make sure you react to the video. Amazing
That was Sam Kinison, a legendary comedian. RIP
Wow. “These look like nice wholesome guys.” 💀. Motley Crüe did everything back in the day, a miracle they are alive to tell the tale.
Smokey is right, Depeche Mode is new wave. They are nothing like Motley Crüe. I have seen quite a few interviews where Pete from CheVelle mentions he likes Depeche Mode. CheVelle even did a cover of the Depeche Mode song “It’s No Good”. If you want some DM suggestions, you can check out “Strangelove”, “I Feel You”, or “Personal Jesus”. Yes, they did it first, Marilyn Manson covered it.
Oh that's Kool. I need to hear that version of "it's no good". I love Depeche mode! Thanks:)
this is the type of song you avoid driving to at all cost ,, true story.... another two motley crue songs shout at the devil , and primal scream i would suggest
Automatic speeding ticket
how about dancing on glass great song
Impossible to go less than 80 mph to this song
I’m doin reckless shit behind the wheel of anything when this comes on
I didn't follow that rule - 90 in a 65 on I-25. Mah bad. 😆
To see Tommy do the SICKEST DRUM SOLO EVER check out Wild Side. My favorite Crüe song is Primal Scream. And the OG energy drink was Coke because it had actual coke in it! Lol!
Listening to this while driving may get you a speeding ticket. 😂
Ikr
Truth bomb! 265 dollar fine.
I had a Buick Regal Grand National when this came out. I may have outrun the cops a couple of times 😈 Hard to report on the radio when all they saw was a black streak.
This and most Joe Satriani songs.
It DID. 90 in a 65. 😎 Mah bad. 😆
Kickstart was about Nikkis heart stopping and dying and being brought back after a herion overdose.its in his book herion diaries.
It's a trip to watch this/these videos from that era. I was a preteen and had my walls covered with pages out of magazines of these guys and other bands. Lol. Takes me back. Thanks guys!🤓❤️
I had girlfriends that had posters of this band on they're bedroom walls..
"Kick start my heart and your to blame you give love a bad name" - Motley Bon Jovi
No
Oh my Lord, I'm not from that era but I just got so riled up "Bon Jovi dude wtf"
13:27 I see the confusion on the face. He’s using a talk box. Check out the Peter Frampton’s “Do you feel like I do” live to really see a talk box in action.
"kickstart my heart and youre to blame"😂😂😂perfect.ya cute
Vince is another who has an instantly recognizable (unfortunately, he does not sound like this now) voice. At their height, they were incredible.
And yup, about Niki’s OD and being brought back with adrenaline injected directly into his heart, trying to get clean and then finding other ways to get that rush.
Cause you can't quit. You have to replace it with something your just as passionate about. I know that probably sounds weird but it's true.
Motley Crue Misheard lyrics is the funniest shit on RUclips!
@@jrwhite3950 nope, you are absolutely correct. Just because you stop one thing, that hole is still there…it’s gotta be filled with something!
@@nobodyimportant1337 for some reason your comment makes me feel like we're already on our 3rd date.....
@@jrwhite3950 so…where we goin on the 4th…tacos sound good🤔
"High on speed" - adrenaline junky. The song talks about drag cars, outrunning police on motorcycles, skydiving.
"Mountain Dew" - was an old timey name for moonshine. But yes its a citrus soda.
Chauffeur was comedian Sam Kinison, a long-time friend of the band.
HELL YEAH!!!!
Thank for choose this song 🤘🤘
When he says I get high on speed, hes' talking about driving fast, just look at the context of the video. But on the other hand they all did tons of drugs, before they got clean on this album.
Jolt Cola was the first energy drink. It was introduced in the mid 80s. It had almost four times more caffeine than Mountain Dew.
Watch “ the dirt” also another song that is wholesome by Motley is “ dancing on glass”
In 1989... singer Vince Neil (born February 8, 1961) was 28 years old; guitarist Mick Mars (born either April 3rd or May 4th 1951, Mick was always mysterious about his age) was 38; bassist Nikki Sixxx was born December 11, 1958) was 31 years old; and drummer Tommy Lee was the baby of the group, born October 3, 1963, and was 26 years old.
That is comedian Sam Kinison driving the limo. On April 10, 1992, Sam Kinison was in the car with his new wife of two weeks. They were driving to do a comedy show when a couple of kids were drunk driving and smashed into Sam's car. He lay on the side of the road having a conversation with God, begging God to let him stay, but then finally agreeing to go with Him and passing away. Turns out the drunk kids who hit him were fans of his. Sam Kinison led an interesting life and the way he died was a tragedy to the Entertainment world.
I grew up on Motley Crue... posters, albums, history, memorabilia, everything. Saw them twice, once with replacement singer John Corabi in 1994 Anywhere There's Electricity tour with Type O Negative and Deicide opening at the Quincy, Illinois Raceways and once with Vince Neil in 2005 Carnival of Sins tour in St. Louis, Missouri.
Motley Crue is bassist Nikki Sixx's band. He owns the Motley Crue name. Guitarist Mick Mars wanted to name the band "Christmas". LOL Nikki (born Frank Carlton Serafino Farrano) was inspired by the Sex Pistols and other punk bands. So Motley Crue is an 80s hair-rock version of punk rock.
Nikki's mother was a backup singer for Tommy Dorsey (big band era), and his father left the family when he was young. He hated his dad so much he legally changed his name to 'Nikki Sixx'. His grandparents raised him in Idaho. His grandmother died in 1986. The song NONA that can be found on the Girls, Girls, Girls album was about her and dedicated to her. When Nikki got older and had kids of his own, he came to terms about his father and wanted to reunite with him only to find out it was way too late, his father died an alcoholic in 1986 and Nikki didn't even know about it until he (Nikki) was in his 40s.
Nikki met Mick Mars (born Bob A. Deal, but legally changed his name to Mick Mars because he considered his initials B.A.D. to be bad luck) when Mick walked into his record shop and they started bickering over guitars. Mick challenged him to go to the Troubadour club and watch Mick's band Spiders & Snakes. The whole incident was forgotten until Nikki was putting the band together, and Mick's ad in the Recycler ad magazine reading, "Loud, rude, aggressive guitar player" caught Nikki's attention. When Mick walked in, Nikki was like, "Aren't you that guy from the record shop ... you're that guy.... I hated you!" From the moment Mick joined Motley, Nikki and Mick were brothers... (Mick being older than the other members by a decade give or take). Nikki is so much of a fan of his own guitarist, he has a tattoo of Mick on his leg.
When Tommy Lee (born Thomas Lee Bass to an American soldier, his mother was Miss Greece 1957) joined the band, they were still shopping around for a singer (even though they had this creepy guy at the time). Drummer Tommy Lee and singer Vince Neil went to high school together. Tommy suggested he knew a singer, but at the time he was in another band. Nikki said, "Who cares? We'll go steal him out of that band."
Vince Neil (born Vince Neil Wharton) was already in a band called Rockandi. They did backyard parties type of thing. They only asked him to be in the band because he was the one guy in high school with the longest hair). Tommy called Vince up and asked him to come audition. Vince blew off the first audition and didn't even show up because he already had a sure thing with Rockandi and didn't know about this other band. It took him a couple of more times before he just said "screw it" and went down to audition for Motley.
Every member of Motley Crue were alcoholics and drug addicts to one extent or another. In 1989, when they were working on the Dr. Feelgood album, they'd all completed rehab. In 1987, during the Girls, Girls, Girls tour, they were a MESS of alcohol and drugs. Nikki Sixx, alone, has OD'd on heroin and/or cocaine about six times in his career as a musician and unlike Layne Staley and many others, he chose to give up drugs. He got sick of feeling sick all the time.
KICKSTART MY HEART comes from the time in 1987 during the Girls, Girls, Girls tour when Nikki Sixx overdosed in a hotel room in Tokyo, Japan with Guns N' Roses opening for the band. GN'R members Slash and Duff McKagan (and I think GN'R drummer Steven Adler) was with Nikki when he OD'd. MTV News at the time even reported that Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue had died. Technically it was only for two-three minutes. The EMT in the ambulance was a Motley Crue fan and when the EMT found out it was Nikki Sixx he was working on, the EMT shot Nikki in the heart with two syringes of adrenaline and brought him back. After that, Nikki wrote KICKSTART MY HEART. It's a great Arena-Rock song. KICKSTART MY HEART can be found on the Dr. Feelgood album.
Dr. Feelgood is a pretty solid album and debuted at #1 on Tommy Lee's birthday (October 3, 1989). Because producer Bob Rock got Motley Crue to number one, Lars Ulrich of Metallica asked Bob Rock to work with Metallica on the Black album. Bob Rock made the Black album successful with James Hetfield arguing, bitching, kicking and screaming the whole way.
I could go on with Sam Kinison's story, or rating every album and song probably... but RUclips has a cap on comment length. I've hit it a few times discussing Layne Staley of Alice In Chains.
Awesome history u posted for us...thank u!
Live fast and die young - the major quote of the 80's.... Nostalgia hits me right between the eyes,I want my youth back

I used to sing along to this at the age of six having no clue what it was about. It’s catchy though.
🤣🤣🤣
Damn, flashback Wednesday 😎 great reaction guys 👊🤘🤘
Bros, watch the video. He says he gets high on speed, then the next line is "top fuel funny cars are the drug for me"
Next clue ... racecars all over the video.
he's talking about being an adrenaline junkie
*Motley Crue - Girls Girls Girls, Louder Than Hell, Red Hot, Shout at the Devil*
Jolt cola was the OG energy drink
Glad someone else remembers Jolt
All the sugar
Twice the caffeine!!
this my favorite Crue track...just don't listen to it while driving...you will get a ticket.
The song is about adrenaline…fast cars, skydiving, etc..
When Vince says “high on speed” he’s referring to fast cars. The video has footage of funny cars and people skydiving.
I thought the kick-start my heart was about nikki when he took herion overdose and had to get 2 anderline injections to restart his Heart back in 87
@@stevenlochrie3951 -I heard that story also…
But I remember seeing an interview with them and them mentioning that the song was about being an adrenaline junkie…
Could be about both things👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘
No it is not. Kickstart is about the day Nikki died and the paramedic brought him back. I've seen them more times than you, and followed their entire career since the first album.
@@KaidenOrgana so I was right then
@@KaidenOrgana
I’m sure you have seen them more than me…
Good for you👍👍👍🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
That was Sam Kinison.
Mountain Dew is technically Citrus flavored.
A+ Smoke always nails these history quizzes.
And now you understand why those of us who came of age in the Eighties are so smug about our music. High Octane Adrenalin at wide open throtle.
I wish they would do their research prior. I’m glad he finally guessed who Sam Kinneson was though. Great reaction though, guys!!!
Be careful when you hear this song while you're driving. You'll end up going double digits over the speed limit, all the time!
truth
Man really said "they dont look like they did drugs" hhhh
No band ever lived the expression “sex, drugs and rock and roll” like Motley Crue ever did. Even Led Zeppelin and Guns & Roses said to them “dudes, tone it down a bit!” 😊
Real pipes in that music area is Sebastian Bach, was singer in Skid Row🤟🏼🤟🏼
Back to mötley crüe, Shout at the devil, Girls Girls Girls and Looks that kill can't be nissed 😎
the driver is Sam Kinison
Watch the movie "The Dirt" on Netflix. It will answer many of your Motley Crue questions.
Yes it will answer the questions and then some lol
Vince don't look like a teen anymore.😂😂😂😂😂
More like Cartman from. South Park
You guys need to watch “The Dirt” on Netflix, if you want to see what Motley Crue was all about in the 80’s! Insane! There will never be another like them! ✌🏻
Theme song of the 80s….”Better Life Thru Chemistry!” Also the decade where not only the ladies went to the John to ‘powder their noses’ but the guys as well!
The parties in the 80 were incredible. Prob 70s too but I was too young. But songs like this really put the gas to the floor during this period. Every weekend, house parties and dance clubs all over the place. I also heard the strip clubs played Motley from time to time but I have no idea since I never went 🥴
Motley Crue did all the drugs...like, all of them nobody else got any. lol
Tommy had the coolest drum set up! It spun around. Tommy was strapped in so he'd stay in place while he was upside down!!
Buddy Rich did it first
I know you guys love wrestling, but I NEVER thought you'd mention the "Jumping" Jeff Farmer promo 😂😂😂 Love it!!!! Yep ❤
In that line they are talking about getting high on speed in a racing sense.... "Top fuel funny car's a drug for me" is the next line in the song. It's basically a metaphor for when Nikki was having his drug issues and "died". Granted.... they weren't ever sweet, wholesome young lads. Check them out during their Shout at the Devil days....
Pretty sure the lyrics "kickstart my heart" are of Sixx's overdose. You should check out the dirt the Motley Crue docufilm. or read sixx's book heroine diaries.
Speed as in velocity
“When I get high I get high on speed
Top fuel funny car's a drug for me“
“Always got the cops coming after me
Custom-built bike doing 103“
This song was blasted out over the PA system every time I went to the drags 😃
JOLT is the original energy drink
More like Speedballs. Nikki has died at least once of heroin OD. Speedballs are probably the most intense high out there. It's also the most dangerous. Your heart doesn't know what to do with the upper/downer combo of heroin and coke. They were very popular mid 80's-early 90's.
I love that I grew up with this music!!
Watching you mash/confuse Bon Jovi, Poison and MC was great. This is off the same album as Dr. Feelgood, and is one of the heavier in Crue's catalog. Take a look at some of their earlier work, like 'Looks that Kill', 'Shout at the Devil' or 'Girls, Girls, Girls'. Or even older, like 'Misunderstood' off 1994's self titled album. Done with John Corabi instead of Vince Neil it was universally panned at the time of it's release, but actually was ahead of it's time for a hard rock album of that time period.
"Get high on speed", followed by "Top fuel FUNNY CAR" gotta listen to ALL the words not pick and choose, that is why metal got the reputation it has. People hear one word, Demon or Devil, and "Oh my god they worship the......" Hear the word "Speed", and "Oh my god the are on..." You guys are BETTER than that!
Basically describing all of the 80s. All the rock bands were Satanists, dont cha know..
I mean, their interpretation is not entirely unjustified. Besides being infamous for their partying and extremely prolific drug and alcohol use, the song and the phrase "kickstart my heart" was inspired by the two full syringes of adrenaline the paramedics shot into Nikki Sixx's heart after he died for two minutes following yet another heroin OD. It's not like MC weren't doing drugs. According to Nikki himself: "Alcohol, acid, cocaine... they were just affairs. When I met heroin it was true love."
To be fair, this song is mostly talking about the way Nikki and the band were trying to recapture that "high" feeling without drugs (chasing the endorphins in adrenaline junkie activities) after they started trying to live the sober life. That being said, I'm pretty sure that first line in the song isn't accidental. I would bet money that it's an intentional double.
@@1rexrex That whole "satanic panic" was definitely silly. But, to play devil's advocate (so to speak), a lot of the bands at the time (including Motley Crue) were sporting pentagrams and playing up the whole satanic image (and satan/demon imagery) as part of being "metal." I would argue that you can't really walk around in a t-shirt that says "I hate lemons" and then get mad when people who don't know you assume you hate lemons. As kids, a lot of us knew it was theater (though not every kid knew that; some took it REAL seriously) but I don't blame parents at the time for initially taking it at face value.
I mean, jesus, look at how many people still believe in the illuminati nonsense just because people like Beyonce and Jay-Z and other rappers started flinging around supposed illuminati signs and imagery the same way metal bands used pentagrams back in the day. People are gullible, sure, but it also shouldn't be too surprising when a lot of the public buys what you're selling even if what you're selling is all facade meant to "look cool."
@@johnplaysgames3120 did not say they were not doing drugs, just that line was not about that. If you gonna review the lyrics you gotta listen to more than one word. We all know what assuming makes us. The song is about ADRENALINE plain and simple, yup drugs knocking you down and having to be boosted back, then all the ways adrenaline plays is what it hits about. ie. Skydiving, Motor Cross, Funny Cars........
@@theidajawho Yeah, I agreed with you that the song is mostly about adrenaline. BUT it was chasing adrenaline highs to replace the drug high after they quit the super hard addictions/partying. That's literally what the song was written about. There's no assumption there. My interpretation of the lyrics/origin of the song comes from Nikki Sixx's own memoir.
The reason I commented was just because I thought it was unfair to equate the Rappers React guys to the "satanic panic" parents of the 80s for assuming the song is talking about speed when the assumption isn't that far off base. The song was literally inspired by an OD experience.
MC's drug use play a part in this song, even if it's just the precursor. This isn't a song that's just randomly about fast cars and skydiving and whatnot. It's literally about chasing adrenaline highs to replace the drug highs after they had to quit doing all the crazy drugs.
If you're a reactor who doesn't know the full history of Crue and when/why they stopped doing drugs, then I think - given their history - it's a fair assumption to make one line into the song. No reason to shit on them for wondering aloud if that's what's being said. A few years earlier, it would've been.
So many good songs by them. Hope you listen to more. Try Wild side if you haven't
9:00 Actual reaction starts
Not y’all mixing up Bon Jovi and Mötley Crüe. 😭 Y’all got me laughing over here.🤣
Sixxx's reminder of his Heroine OD.
Fun fact: the album this song is from (Dr. Feelgood) was the first album the band did where all the members Nikki, Vince, Mick and Tommy were sober for the whole production. They went to Canada and basically locked themselves in the studio. Tommy I wouldn't call the "greatest" drummer in rock. What makes him stand out was making the drummer a bigger part of the show. Check out the video for their song Wild Side. Tommy was strapped into his kit and it would rise and spin end over end sideways and the other. He eventually got to where he would do his solos on like a Rollercoaster track over the crowd and around the building. He once got stuck out over the crowd while doing his solo.
There's a reason Motley was called the most dangerous band in rock n roll. There was never a drug they didn't do, a drink they didn't drink or a girl they'd pass up.
Nikki Sixx is a great song writer and visionary. Mick Mars guitar playing is so underrated. Love MÖTLEY since 1983. FOREVER A CRÜE HEAD
Me too!!!!!
The term “high on speed” is a reference to Vince’s love of fast cars. He would race them himself .
“They don’t look they did drugs!” Dude, funniest thing I have heard in a month. Laughing so hard. Dayum.
Speed… did you notice the race cars… speed… cars
There is a thing with hair metal/glam metal: isn't a genre per se. Is more about the image or lyrics as well. Glam metal could be Pop rock (like poison) Hard Rock (like TNT, Cinderella, Motley crue) or heavy metal (like Dokken, Wasp).
Also you have into glam metal the Genre "sleaze" (like Skid Row, Guns n Roses, Shotgun Messiah, Hericane Alice) they had like more street or dirty sound and image. At the same time the glam bands with an entire album of power ballads were called AOR (like Bad English)
Mt dew was originally created to go with whiskey
Lmao,.. you quoted Bon freakin Jovi at the start!!! 🤣 🤣 🤣
Mountain Dew is supposed to be citrus flavored, but the original energy drink was when Coca-Cola had cocaine in it.
yes, Sam Kinnison
Nikki syx almost died from a drug overdose and that is what this song is about. They just made the video about adrenaline junkies in order not to lead kids to drugs.
I had a hard time liking Mötley Crüe back in the days, but they grew on me over the years. I actually prefer their faster songs like this one. Another great song they had (and that often doesn't get as much praise because it wasn't a single) is 'Red Hot', you might want to check it out.
Depeche Mode is more Synthpop than New Wave. Some of my personal suggestions to check them out are 'Never Let Me Down Again', 'People Are People', 'Master and Servant', Blasphemous Rumours', 'Walking in My Shoes' and 'It's No Good'. But their catalog is a deep rabbit hole, much deeper than Mötley Crüe.
Tommy Lee and motley crue band were some the biggest partiers and they said nobody except Ozzy could beat them. they were touring together but they the did interview And said they got off the bus everybody was doing everything but then Ozzy seen on the ground the big line of ants on the ground leading to a Popsicle stick Ozzy took the stick and snorted the ants Tommy lee and the rest the band said holy fuck with his lips and said ok Ozzy is the best craziest they all laughed
"They look like wholesome fellas" 😂😂😂😂
I wish I was a teen at the start of the 80's instead of a teen at the start of the 90's :(
Depeche Mode is nothing like Motley Crue but you should check them out.
I agree! I think they'd dig Depeche mode
They were not wholesome at all. They were one of the hardest partying bands of all time. Nikki Sixx overdosed and was clinically dead a few minutes. The paramedics kick started his heart and he wrote this song.
Motley Crue lived the rock n roll lifestyle. How they're all still alive is a miracle. That's a dope Zelda hat, 6ix!
Classic Rock I would say starts at 25-30 years old. It's gonna be awesome once Slayer is along side Elvis on Oldies Radio!!!
On a Kids React video, Tommy Lee responded by saying this song is about adrenaline.
10:30 _They don't look like they do drugs..._ LOL
Hollywood6: "We need to bring back the talkbox!"
Adam Jones on Jambi in 2007: Hold my beer... :)
🤣🤣🤣
Proud that my funny car is in this video!
I got clocked in 1991 doing 85 in a 45 MPH zone listening to this song and out ran cop lol I was stone sober ad high on life.
You guys might wanna watch the movie The Dirt that tell their story really awesome movie!!!
There were hardly any drugs left in the 80s because Motley Crue did them all.
Y’all should check out “wild side”
This is the song that got me into metal in the 80s as a kid!!!!
Their final show is AWESOME. They played all the good/most popular songs
Hi. This song is about energi, adrenalin and comes from the bassplayer Nikki Sixx overdose on heroin in 1987. He was actually dead for 2 min. but was brought back to life from 2 adrenalin shots by a paramedic. That inspired him to write this song. He wrote most of their songs. On Crüe,s album "Dr Feelgood" the guys had been in rehab and were all clean while making the album in Canada.
You should check out their biopic on Netflix called "The Dirt", they have an amazing story and the book is even better.
Songs to react to: Live Wire, Looks that kill, Shout at the Devil (check out their final tour version 2014-2015. So cool!!) Home Sweet Home, Smoking in the boys room, Wild Side, Girls Girls Girls (sexy video), Without You, Affraid, Anarchy, Primal Scream (sooo GOOD!!) Hooligans Holliday (with John Corabi) Saints of Los Angeles, The Dirt (with Mgk)
They had their final tour in 2014-2015, but because of the movie the fans made them come back. They are going on tour with Def Leppard, Poison and Joan Jett in 2022..The Stadium Tour.
Frontman: Vince Neil
Leadguitarist: Mick Mars
Bassplayer: Nikki Sixx
Drummer: Tommy Lee
Listening to you guys talk about classic rock is making me feel extremely old. Thanks. Lol
Wholesome fellas 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Great 80's heavy metal
Mick Mars does his best guitar work on the 1994 Motley Crue album. Probably because he had John Corabi on rhythm guitar so he could concentrate on his lead work. Check out Smoke The Sky, Uncle Jack or Misunderstood. Tommy Lee, Nikki Sixx and Mick Mars but with John Corabi replacing Vince Neil. Their heaviest album
The WHOLE band does their best wok on that album.
Theyre asking if Motley Crue and Depeche Mode are in same category 😂
Well. They did both wear the color black. Oh. Oh. And makeup. And they were both out during some of the same time frame. Other than that. Ummm? ? Yeah. Nope.
I actually saw theses guys live. Granite it was in 2005 or 2006 I think but it was a pretty good show. Yeah basically the jist of this song is about when Nikki Sixx OD'D on heroin and they had to use adrenaline to kickstart his heart. But also they were the epitomy of the 80's which was Sex, Drugs, and Rock and Roll. I mean these dudes were snorting coke off chicks asses and would just pass them around. Gotta watch their documentary but also I read this while I was in jail, The Heroin Diaries by Nikki Sixx which is a really fucking crazy but good book. Gotta check it out.✌️
tommy lee is one of my favorite drummers. but he is no where close to one of the greatest.
Abigail Cristea the drummer for Liliac named Tommy Lee as her favorite drummer and Vinny Appice (Dio/Black Sabbath), and Neil Peart (Rush) as 2 of her other biggest influences.
Very entertaining drummer
When I get high I get high on speed
Top fuel funny car's a drug for me
My heart, my heart
Kick start my heart
Always got the cops coming after me
Custom-built bike doing 103
My heart, my heart
Kick start my heart
Oh, are you ready girls?
Oh, are you ready now?
Whoa, yeah
Kick start my heart, give it a start
Whoa, yeah, baby
Whoa, yeah
Kick start my heart, hope it never stops
Whoa, yeah, baby, yeah
Skydive naked from an aeroplane
Or a lady with a body from outer space
My heart, my heart
Kick start my heart
Say I got trouble, trouble in my eyes
I'm just looking for another good time
My heart, my heart
Kick start my heart
Yeah, are you ready girls?
Yeah, are you ready now, now, now?
Whoa, yeah
Kick start my heart, give it a start
Whoa, yeah, baby, whoa, yeah
Kick start my heart, hope it never stops
Whoa, yeah, baby
When we started this band
All we needed, needed was a laugh
Years gone by, I'd say we've kicked some ass
When I'm enraged or hittin' the stage
Adrenaline rushing through my veins
And I'd say we're still kickin' ass
I say, ooh ah, kick start my heart
I hope it never stops
And to think, we did all of this to rock
Whoa, yeah
Kick start my heart, give it a start
Whoa, yeah, b-b-b-b-b-b-baby
Whoa, yeah
Kick start my heart, hope it never stops
Whoa, yeah, baby
Whoa, yeah
Kick start my heart, hope it never stops
Whoa, yeah, baby
Whoa, yeah
Kick start my heart, give it a start
Whoa, yeah
Okay boys, let's rock the house
That's all
Kickstart my heart
Motley Crue is an awesome band ! Their shows are fantastic 🤘👍
😎 A personal fave from the Crue!
Odd factoid: my copy of Dr. Feel-good had the 1st letters switched in Nikki Sixx's name, it read Sikki Nixx under every song! Became a bit of a joke between my mom & I.
Try out my other fave, Shout At The Devil! Also, Wild Side, Smokin In The Boys Room, Looks That Kill, Same Ol' Situation, You're Invited But Your Friend Can't Come. Without You, Home Sweet Home & Live Wire were popular & everyone knows Girls, Girls, Girls.
Whatever you do, DON'T look up Vince singing/performing recently!! & Yeah, that was Kinison, hence the yell.
Oh & 25 yrs = classic. Classic rock for us was led zep, sabbath, Floyd, etc.
this is the best ever song they made period.
