Micks guitar tone on Shout At The Devil is the best he ever had. The sound on Girls Girls Girls and Theatre of Pain is not comparable. Going from the meanest tone ever to a typical terrible late '80's hair band guitar tone. Sad.
NTM- "Bastard" off SHOUT (with Tommy actually being credited for Simmons Electronic DRUMS on the SHOUT credits) Definitely, LOTTA "layering". NOT ta mention, just LOOK at ALL those old live performances (pics and video) of Tommy Lee LIVE. He has HAD E-drums combined, on near ALL of his live kits, since darn near , day one. ROCK ON
@@jamescon55had no idea the Simmons machine was on bastard. I’ll have to listen to it again. And ya drummers in the 80’s had a lot of samples being triggered live
Great, respectful view on the drummers by Tom, Ringo and A.J. are good, solid beat keepers, while Moon and Tommy are solid, yet over the top in a great way.
The Shout album sonically to my ears is superior to all the Crue albums. How many great bands never made it and were lost to time because of bad engineering/production? Hundreds and hundreds probably.
So records full of Mick just soloing is your thing? I personally like actual songs. Btw Nikki wrote all of those. Ok he threw Tommy a bone now and then.
@@careful...Icarus come on dont be silly u what im saying That Motley crue sound is him those riffs that melodic than heavy sound is his he doesent fake playing like that tool sixx actually Micks the only respectable one that was in that band its like he was always too good for that band
You’re incorrect. Nikki is Motley Crue. He is the sole songwriter and mastermind behind the Crüe. They never would have existed without him. Nikki is an amazing man. He always plays in the studio and live. This crap people are coming up with is ludicrous! Mick had to quit touring and the tour had to go on due to contracts. Mick loves John 5 and has always thought he was a great choice to replace him. Nikki is one of Mick’s biggest fans. No one gets an image of someone on their body unless they love them. This is a fact. So to the folks creating all this drama, unless you know Nikki personally keep your trap shut.
100%. I love tearing up a fretboard, but HOT DAMN, Mick didn’t need to to knock me out. No, he was never the fastest gun, but he didn’t need to be. Mick has so much POWER in his playing. It’s a kick in the face.
Too fast for love, shout at the devil and Dr feelgood were their best albums to date. Theater of pain and girls had some great stuff and not so great stuff on them. People also should give New tattoo a listen also it was a good album.
I never appreciated Mick as a guitarist when I was younger - in the 80s. Sure- I recognized the drive and catchiness of the riffs. But in the days of Rhodes, Lee, EVH, and Lynch he was overshadowed. However, the older I got- the more I appreciated Micks unique sound and tone. Mick is like Malcolm and Angus Young.
Tom you know that there are times the record company assigns the producer to the band and if the band wants to keep working they are going to do whatever the record company says.With a producer working for that record company it's the same way.
@@davedurand9483 i did, did you? Werman and bob rock both stated that nikki sixx was horrible. That they got ghost bass players to come in and play. Then , money or lawyers got involved and they changed their stories. Wake up.
You can tell. Werman put the work in. He can barely remember all the shit he recorded an produced over the years. It seemshe be jumping from record to record. Memories roll into each other, when your sniffing 80'S china white on the SSL mixing console.
Bun e Carlos .. is a VERY good drummer. Talk about underrated.. his “big band” swing style thing is just killer vintage stuff! Tommy Lee? Come on .. 80’s drumming .. hitting hard playing bigger sized drums.. isn’t hard. All you guys that haven’t seen a Buddy Rich or Ed Slaughnessy or even Sammy Davis Jr. drum solo.. go watch now!
Most of Girls Girls Girls actually has samples, if you listen to the extended version of Nona you can hear the sampled kick drum by itself. I think its the same snare sample as the rest of the album too, but usually its mixed much quieter.
Too many people are latching on to what Mick has said as gospel truth. There are always two sides with infighting in bands. Healthier to not let this stuff sway your opinion. Just love the music. It will still be around when all this bickering is lost in the wind.
Lol…and how many albums have you sold? Why should anyone even begin to care about your questionable (at best) need to hate on Nikki Sixx? I tell you what…come back when you’ve sold several multi-platinum albums, headlined stadiums around the world, and then maybe I’ll care about your judgments…rock and roll isn’t solely about technical ability…particularly with a band like Motley Crue.
It's not a new concept that Nikki never played on the records, even that he also didn't write those early songs alone. Seems like Werman signed a NDA back then.
Good interview Jeremy. Tom produced Stryper's best album (IMO) Against the Law, certainly their best sounding album. Any hard rock fan should check it out before writing it off because they're Christian.
Will definitely pick up Tom's book. But for now, I'm mourning for all of us music lovers for having missed out on "Keith Moon with the Eagles". I've noticed that Tom almost always makes a point of giving major props to Tommy Lee in all of his interviews. Mentioning his being forward-thinking, willing to experiment and of course, being a powerhouse of a drummer.
And the bass doesn't stand out on Shout at the Devil, like you can't hear it. It didn't for me anyway. I will have to go back and listen to it again. But I remember as a kid, the bass not really standing out.
Dr feelgood sucks. Two good songs,the rest is total garbage. Theater is better than feelgood. Imo. The production was good, the songs suck. Ive been a fan since 83 and own all their records, feelgood never gets played.
I stopped listening to Crue after Shout of the Devil.., can’t stand the pop music they play, theater of pain was a huge let down, I wanted in front of the store bought both the vinyl and the cassette and simply sold them the next day, guitar riffs tea of pain were so repetitive and boring, solos were also short. Everyone feels sorry for mick for his sickness but I don’t, karma is bad, he was disrespectful and racist vs real guitar God Jake E Lee and now Mars can’t even wipe himself. Life is brutal
Because you can't hear the bass on quite a few songs, other songs, yes, it's there and good! But I remember when I listened to Shout atbthe Devil and Too Fast for Love when I was a kid (on my SONY Walkman yes!) the bass never stood out to me. The guitar and drums sure did, and well as the singer obviously. I never really questioned it or thought about it til I was oldler. But Nikki writes the songs, so I will give him that!
@@r613-v7y Nikki couldn't even tune his bass guitar, less KNOW HOW to play an actual guitar 🎸 🫤, and STILL, AIN'T NUTTIN special on the bass. HOW is that guy GONNA BE CAPABLE of , WRITING MUSIC then?....Ohhh, 🤔 cuz he SAID "HE DID". 😏 That's right 👍. I forgot about THAT.......🤘🔥🤘
because you were there, you know right? he can play- he just isn't very good. Everybody that has worked with him has confirmed his writing contributions-- thats what made him valuable@@jamescon55
The fishyness with the interview is Werman is looking down practically the whole time because he's lying or he can't read the devil's cues correctly.He's answering as if no one has any idea how things work or don't work in the music business.Pathetic.
AJ Pero was a hard hitter, dont tell me that the weak drums on that album was due to him not hitting as hard as Tommy Lee. That’s BS, there are other reasons like samples and triggers that Werman won’t admit here.
Weak drums can be a result of lots of things. Bohnam sounded huge not only because he beat the crap out of the drums but also when he hit them. Page pushed the beat, and Jones laid back so Bohnam was right in the pocket all by himself. You also have how the eq works with the band. Again a band like Motley with Mik’s and Nikki’s low tuned guitars Tommy had his drums a little tighter than you would expect and they will stand out by themselves. Twisted always sounded muddy to me with to many things trying to to occupy the same space of the eq
Wait... WHO played lead on the studio version of I Want You to Want Me, and WHY?? Someone should have chased that down! Like, Rick wasn't fully capable!? We gotta know!
If you need a session musician to play Nikki's supremely simple bass parts.... wow! That's how you know the theory is dumb. Strumming an open string? I mean, that's basically all there is to a Motley bass line.
I actually liked A.J. Pero's drum sound on TS's Stay Hungry album. It was huge in its own way, and the snare had a loud crack to it. The kit may have sounded like it was about to fall apart, but that's what worked for that record.
15:22 Steve Jordon always sounds like a million bucks, but the new Stones song sounds like Charlie Watts on sleeping pills. Watts, Copeland and Van Halen are 3 great examples of how a drummer can push the beat and create a forward-motion feeling.
There’s no proof because he is actually playing. If you are a professional player you’ll see it. Notes can be easily sustained by volume. 😏. Stop being keyboard warriors.
@@floridapielady umm, pie lady, shut your pie hole. Nikki even admitted to Bob Rock he didn’t play on any of the albums up to Dr Feel good. Pretty hard to be rolling around the stage while strung out on H and drunk on Jack D. Don’t you agree?
It’s a mix of live and tracks… but since the controversy they’ve toned down the tracks and are playing very live! I saw em with Def Leppard in Syracuse a few months ago and it was very live and BELIEVE ME, I was WATCHING and LISTENING for it! 🤟🏻
Motley's first two albums are by far their best. So whoever changed Mick's LP into a Marshall really did a disservice to the band. I never understood all the gear he started using later on. All that crap can't compare to a LP into a Marshall. He even dropped the ball when GnR hit. Still playing Kramers etc. I can understand the switch to a Strat for his back but I dont have to like it. He could have sat down in the studio and still used a LP.
Mick and Tommy are the sound of Crue, And he is right. Bass players can be easily switched, But there are few that are not easily switched. Flea and Cliff Burton, Both are a big part of the bands sound, RHCP was not the same without Flea. And in my opinion neither was Metallica , The only band that no member could have been replaced was the Beatles
We will never get the truth about Sixx and his playing on the albums. But whatever, any press is good press is good press. I was never a fan of Motley.
Nikki has and always had played on the albums and live. The part with Bob Rock was Nikki’s sarcasm about people saying he didn’t play. He played and will always play. That is a fact. He loves playing and does it all the time. It’s his whole life.
@@Terk131 I know him personally and many of his bass techs including his current one. He plays live because he loves it! Nikki is an amazing musician. Always will be.
@@floridapielady okay. But I have heard the base thumping and he wasn’t playing. He may play but he definitely has pre recorded track and that’s a fact.

How many great bands never made it and were lost to time because of bad engineering/production?
Hundreds and hundreds probably.
Too Fast for Love is just as good, if not better sonically IMO
it's a masterpiece..I like the songs maybe on Too Fast more but love the production on Shout. Goddamn meaty guitar tone and incredible drum sound
Mick was motley crue period without him there never was is or will ever be motley crue
I second that one for sure.
No way as a matter of fact mick is not in Motley Crüe right now
So records full of Mick just soloing is your thing? I personally like actual songs. Btw Nikki wrote all of those. Ok he threw Tommy a bone now and then.

Mick Mars or CC? 😅 what question was that? Mick is the man! Underrated as fook!
CC is my fave guitarist. Fave and Best are two different things.
Niiki's job was pretty easy. He either rode the E string or he rode the A string.
Mick’s playing has swagger and confidence. Always tuned a full step down gave him a unique voice at the time
He’s badass! The most underrated guitar player!
100%. I love tearing up a fretboard, but HOT DAMN, Mick didn’t need to to knock me out. No, he was never the fastest gun, but he didn’t need to be. Mick has so much POWER in his playing. It’s a kick in the face.
😂😂😂😅
Most fail to realize that Mick was a 70's guitarist playing in an 80's rock band and that alone set him apart from the "shredders" of the day..
To hell with Motley Crue now. They’ve become a joke. #TeamMick
True!! I wouldn’t walk across the street to see those idiots! They’re worse than a joke of a band! #TeamMick
They’re worse than a joke!!! #TeamMick
Girls girls girls sucked the first two were the only good ones but Mr MM has always kicked ass no matter what albums

I just finished reading Tom’s book. It’s a great journey and behind the scenes look at the music business in the 70s and 80s. Highly recommended
You could put Ringo’s son in The Who….just sayin’
Asking if CC or Mick is the better guitarist is like asking if Fisher-Price or Harman kardon produces better audio.

Maybe back in the day sixx played, but times change and back tracking is now the new norm, for over the hill bands like crue,
Most of Girls Girls Girls actually has samples, if you listen to the extended version of Nona you can hear the sampled kick drum by itself. I think its the same snare sample as the rest of the album too, but usually its mixed much quieter.
Tommy hits the drums harder than most drummers
Forget about Tommy's reputation for a second, he is a solid, and creative drummer.
Can't argue with that.

It was probably the engineer who he fired.
Also drum tuning ….
Weak drums can be a result of lots of things. Bohnam sounded huge not only because he beat the crap out of the drums but also when he hit them. Page pushed the beat, and Jones laid back so Bohnam was right in the pocket all by himself.

I’ll be getting this book
It is a fact that Steve Bailey played bass on a lot of Motley Cruel albums.
Love all of the mentions of Mr. Keith Moon : )
It would be nice if you could get Alex Van Halen and talk about his sound and playing style and evolution.
I’d slay a AVH interview!! I’m the man for it!!
Would love that for you Jeremy. You would be a legend if you could get Alex to talk. Sadly, I think Alex is too cool for school.
Maybe he played bass back then, but that changed.
MY BOY TOM IM COPPING THE BOOK IMMEDIATELY
What's he going to say, he's still on their payroll
A legend producer indeed
Wait... WHO played lead on the studio version of I Want You to Want Me, and WHY?? Someone should have chased that down! Like, Rick wasn't fully capable!? We gotta know!
If you need a session musician to play Nikki's supremely simple bass parts.... wow!
That's how you know the theory is dumb. Strumming an open string? I mean, that's basically all there is to a Motley bass line.
Nikki might’ve played bass on the recordings and back when Tom produced them but like he said himself “Things Change”!
I actually liked A.J. Pero's drum sound on TS's Stay Hungry album. It was huge in its own way, and the snare had a loud crack to it. The kit may have sounded like it was about to fall apart, but that's what worked for that record.
Tom: Jeremy you’re right!

Steve Jordon always sounds like a million bucks, but the new Stones song sounds like Charlie Watts on sleeping pills.
Watts, Copeland and Van Halen are 3 great examples of how a drummer can push the beat and create a forward-motion feeling.
When I went to buy a record, and I was unsure about the contents, if I saw Tom's name on the back, it was the deciding factor.
He did play bass on those recordings but he's not playing bass live anymore. It's all prerecorded. Just sayin

No, he's not happy about it at all, apparently.

The recent Nikki Sixx doesn't play bass is in relation to not playing bass live (using backing tracks).
this guy cant let go of the past.sour grapes.
Motley's first two albums are by far their best. So whoever changed Mick's LP into a Marshall really did a disservice to the band. I never understood all the gear he started using later on.

Mick and Tommy are the sound of Crue, And he is right. Bass players can be easily switched, But there are few that are not easily switched. Flea and Cliff Burton,
Both are a big part of the bands sound, RHCP was not the same without Flea. And in my opinion neither was Metallica , The only band that no member could have been replaced was the Beatles
