    Great video James , looking forward to the next episodes
    The Motley Crue self titled is excellent, have the cassette but I’d love the vinyl, fingers crossed for a reissue, Corabi is excellent
    Good Stuff Mate 🤘

      A reissue would sell very well today, as the album has grown in respect over the years. I'll definitely pick it up immediately.

    Very cool idea and great video as always. I'm a big 80ies metal fan and don't like most of the 90ies stuff you show here. But yes Mötley Crüe was great, love John Corabi. He is so killer (saw a show here in Switzerland in a pub, he was all alone on stage with a guitar and sung and told old great stories from his life, it was phenomenal). But the albums you show from Dokken, Warrant, Def Leppard and Vince Neil are just terrible. Hated them in the 90ies and still think they are not getting better today hahaha. Also to mention the crap by Queensryche after Promised Land! Can't wait for your next video with the Thrash Metal Bands (sure about Green by Forbidden, Force Of Habit and the Metallica masterpieces of the 90ies hahaha). Cheers from Switzerland, really love your videos everytime!

      @mrboulder9714  7 месяцев назад +1

      Thanks. Yeah I saw Corabi do a solo show just over a year ago. Just t playing songs on his acoustic and telling stories, it was great. That Motley album is killer and I think the Warrant one is good too. Thanks for watching and commenting

    Richie Kotzen's solo album Fever Dream showcases not only his great guitar chops but his bluesy vocal. Really like that album. Another great early glam rock album was the first The Scream album, it's got a good single called Man in the Moon.

    • @mrboulder9714
      @mrboulder9714  7 месяцев назад

      Yeah that Kotzen album is excellent, very talented guy. First Scream album is excellent, I only heard it for the first time about a year ago. Cheers for watching and commenting

    Excellent topic! I haven't heard any of Vince Neil's solo output, but I can imagine his voice might not be s good fit for 90s alt rock music. I eas never really interested in Poison, but you're selling that album really well :) Crüe's self-titled album is fantastic, I agree. To me, it's almost like a groove metal album. That Vince Neil album must be really terrible ranking lower than 'Slang' :D Looking forward to the thrash episode.

    • @mrboulder9714
      @mrboulder9714  7 месяцев назад +1

      It's the most mature sounding Poison album definitely. Yeah that Vince Neil album is bad, must be bad to be worse than Slang. Cheers Kim

    Nice idea to show some unappreciated 90's albums that have been forgotten.
    I like Vince Neils first solo album, mainly because Steve Stevens is on guitar duty, that one you showed
    sounds like a shocker!.
    That Motley Crue Corabi album does deserve more praise as well. Look forward to part 2 James.

    • @mrboulder9714
      @mrboulder9714  7 месяцев назад +1

    • @mrboulder9714
      @mrboulder9714  5 месяцев назад

    Hi James!!! Cool topic and great idea for a video series too.... I have never heard that Vince Neal solo album, just knew the first one, this decade was kind of tough for many bands from the 80's trying to change and follow what was going on musically speaking. I will have to finally check a couple you have showed Poison, Motley, Extreme. cheers and be well

    Cool video. Many of the bands that I loved during the 80s kinda lost me in the 90s. There were a few exceptions like Van Halen - For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge, Def Leppard - Adrenalize and Ozzy - No More Tears.

    • @mrboulder9714
      @mrboulder9714  7 месяцев назад +1

    @GeeVanderplas 7 месяцев назад +1

    Motley Crue is definitely the best of this bunch! One you missed that is equally good is Skid Row's Subhuman Race. Also recorded by Bob Rock so it has a similarly powerful drum sound. And the songs are kickass, heavy, yet melodic. Fantastic stuff. It's been a while since I heard Native Tongue but I always liked it, Slang has grown on me over the years and the Dokken one is alright. Much better than the grunge inspired turd that is Shadowlife that came out after. You can't fake the real grunge sound, but they try anyway on that one. Ouch.

    • @mrboulder9714
      @mrboulder9714  7 месяцев назад

    The Cult's album from '94 was almost laughably changed from an awesome hard rock band to an alternative band. Ian Astbury's look even changed from a hard rock star to Gavin Rossdale! But one album from an 80's band to the 90's for the better is WASP- Crimson Idol...it's the album Blackie Lawless always wanted to release, but his 80's label wanted 'shock and sex' for purpose of sales.

    • @mrboulder9714
      @mrboulder9714  6 месяцев назад

      I've never heard that Cult album but I do remember the single, I think it was called 'Coming Down'. Agreed on The Crimson Idol, that's an amazing album. Cheers for watching and commenting 👌

    Cool idea for a series james that self titled motley crue album must be getting hard to get hold of on cd now there's a used copy in my local record shop for a tenner now doubt the 90s was a challenge for most 80s metal bands regardless of genre but in the case of slang the alarm bells should ring when they change the bands logo font! cheers as always mate!

  • @stupidusername38
    @stupidusername38 7 месяцев назад +1

    i'd add Winger's Pull which i think came out in 93. A band who's reputation had been destroyed by Beavis and Butthead, but Pull was a great album, a bit heavier but still very melodic stuff. Much better than the very boring In The Heart of the Young.

    • @mrboulder9714
      @mrboulder9714  7 месяцев назад

      I didn't include Winger's Pull because for me it's just a natural progression of their sound and they weren't trying to change to fit in. Absolutely amazing album too, Down Incognito and Junkyard Dog are massive tunes. Cheers for watching and commenting

Seriously, that Crue record is excellent. They didn't deserve Corabi and I think that they knew it.

    I thought that Native Tongue is a downgrade for me. It just doesn't rock as hard as Flesh and Blood . I recall there being too much acoustic guitar in the songs. Boring overall. I'll give it more listens, but im sure ill still feel the same. I feel Flesh and Blood is more banger overall.

Some bands didnt get Any airplay, even Iron Maiden had to complain because Radio one refused to play them.As For These albums you mention they were mainly insincere trash that was forced upon them by the record companies in fact today they all reject those albums apart from possibly Motley Crue with the John Coraby album
