Absolutely and to know he pulled off the amazing riffs that he did while in the immense amount of pain he suffered for so long. I know very much what he went through cause I too suffer from a form of ankylosing, mine is in my facial bones called boney ankylosis while Mick's is in his spine called ankylosing spondylitis. It fucking sucks and yet listen to what he's pulling off. He's a fucking guitar God.
As a teenager in the 80's when people thought he died it was devastating especially because it was one year after the death of Cliff Burton and 3 years after Rick Allen crash. Was way too much for a teenager like me lol
80s was tragic for many skilled music artist. Randy Rhoads, Rick Allen, Cliff Burton, and Razzle. Some people probably don’t know Razzle. He was the musician who Vince Neil killed in a car crash.
what goes through my head when i see 'first reaction' to any iconic band/song that has been in umpteen films, tv shows, adverts, still gets consistent radio play
80s hair metal is some of the most entertaining music out there, so full of energy, uplifting vibes, and kickass riffs. I'm glad the sound is finding some more traction among modern audiences.
All these hair medal bands have a pretty dedicated following too. My wife and I hit up Poison whenever they're in town and the crowd is always awesome. We were gonna to the road trip to Michigan for the Motley Cru/Def Leppard/Poison this year before we all got locked up for the Covid :(
My friends and I are still shocked to this day we did not end up dead. Some FUCKING REDICULOUS FUN we had. Unfortunately the body pays the price now....but damn the memories errrrr the ones I can recall at least !!
Born in '72, the 80's was absolutely the best for music. The diversity was insane. From Madonna to Slayer, from The cure to Wham to Metallica to Kiss to Kenny G. There was always something good to calm you or punch you in the gut. It was absolutely an awesome time in music. Every day i wish i could go back but, i cant so i bring the 80's to the Now. Rock on!!!
Truly the most diverse decade in music...It had everything. Pop King Michael Jackson, thrash metal giants, LA glam metal scene, New Wave, rap, funk, arena rock, pop rock, hard rock, R&B (before it became trash in the 2000s), etc etc..... Oh, and of course, Steve f'in Perry.
speaking as a guy who WAS a teenager in the 80's, driving his first car around (a '73 Ford T-Bird with a 460 cubic inch engine); this song was DANGEROUS!!! :-D
@@nolanmacpherson9880 Kinison was a good driver. Unfortunately, the dipshit kid who got drunk and crossed to the wrong side of the road to hit him head on wasnt.
@@welderella oooh, you have my sympathies, being born in 68 my teen years were the 80's and all we can do now is try to bring it forward. My kids, now adults, were only exposed to this great music by me, then they could choose on their own. Both are only 80's fans now. Keep on rocking my friend 🤘
And yes I did lots of drugs then. Name it. Crank, acid, coke, weed, alcohol all the while whether it was beer or whiskey. Funny thing is, when you are on blotter hits of acid, you can drink MASSIVE amounts of alcohol and it does nothing but make you pee. Up for 2 days straight. Non stop party man. And I lived through it. Never did heroin though. Had enough fun with the rest though. Lots of girls. Lots of booze. And yes it was dangerous but also, yes it was FUN!
they aren't even the best hair metal band. I think my favorite story in music is the story about glenn danzig and henry rollins beating the shit out of all 4 members of motley crue.
I call bs....! This song has been everywhere for the last 30 years! Unless you got into a time machine in 1988 and blasted forward to 2020 would be the only way you _never_ heard this unbelievably awesome track.
I spent my teen years in t he 80's and let me just say this, all the stories you've heard about growing up then.....................are true!! The 80's ROCKED!!!!
Hey Alex!, A few more to check out! Motley Crue: 1. Live Wire 2. Too Fast For Love. 3. Shout at the Devil 4. Bastard. 5. Dr. Feel-good. In regards to the 80's, rock stars and drug problems. Yeah that all went hand in hand- sex, drugs and rock n roll. I would know I survived the 80's Alex. I was a teenager back then. Another good movie about the 80's metal scene is called " Murder in the Front Row". When it starts off with " Posers must die!!!!" is awesome. It's about the thrash metal scene.
First 3 are definitely good. I didn't care for anything Post-Shout at the Devil. I had to replace Shout at the Devil several times (back in the cassette days and it kept getting played so much it'd get worn out).
That is exactly what we were doing in the 80’s. It was wild as hell and a ton of fun. Dark side is though some never pulled out and we lost some good folks.
"That's why it's amazing, as soon as you pull that needle out or smoke it or snort it, within a couple of seconds, this room could be on fire and I'd be like 'cool'" - Tommy Lee on doing heroin.
I was a teenager during the 80s and yes there was some crazy shit going on. Motley Crew, Van Halen, Guns n Roses, Skid Row, Poison.... Loved the big hair bands!
I'm 70s...music ....i got a 70s big mustache long hair side burns...silk button up shirt and hard zip up boots👀........yeah dude don't fear the reaper ✌✌✌but 80s is cool😎...
Alex: "If I was a teenager in the 80's I'd be doing some crazy shit..." Me: "Ohh You mean like blasting this song while driving your '79 bronco with a bad steering gear at 90+mph?? ohhh yeah..."
78' Buick skylark with a 92' Camero engine, house speakers spliced in, mph Guage going past the top out of 78mph open roads windows down, music blaring!!
You should read The Heroin Diaries. It’s Nikki’s diary entries from the year leading up to his famed overdose. A decent read and led to his side project Sixx A.M. and the soundtrack he wrote for the book!
The eighties were their own special blend of crazy, innocent, colourful, and wild ass fun. I was lucky enough to have enjoyed the eighties as a teen/early twenties young man. 🤘
I'm so happy that this movie came out, because it gives me hope that this music and energy is gonna make a massive resurgence, young people are feeling nostalgic for a feeling they never lived through and I'm excited to see where this takes rock n roll in the 21st century.
Yeah man motley Crew were really good back in the day, my favorite album was shout at the devil, heard it in the 6 th grade if I remember correctly, like 82-83.
It’s great to see people from a younger generation appreciate and like so called hair bands. Alex I was around your age in the 80’s. There were so many great bands that came out of that era.
@@robertklone8437 yeah, but way more accurate than the movie. Check out Crue Collectors on Facebook. Mark Ramirez in the group used to work for the band. He can tell some stories and back it up with pics. I saw Motley open for Ozzy in '84 and followed them ever since. Trust me the book is closer to the truth than the movie.
Absolutely. The book is awesome. My favorite part when Nikki and Tommy did the radio interview. Some girl called in the station and Nikki asked how old she was. She said 12. He said he loved 12 year olds bc you can hear the bones crack. Thank God she didn't get it but it hit 10 on the shock value scale.
@@blank8204 jajaja¡ Vince Piggy Neil is out like a singer¡¡ change the letters...is breathless and really really sucks¡ Sorry man... I see the Crue in New Tattoo tour Carnival of Sins, the Last Tour and 1994 with John Corabi...that was good times
Bluegrass is still incredible. True blues is still played around the world. There is still some good hip-hop out there. Not like rock and metal doesn't have its share of poor performers and mediocre subgenres.
As someone growing up as a kid during this time, yes, you missed out. I remember going to buy my first cassette tape and my mom suggested Ozzy. This was when I was around 12.ive been a metal head ever since. Thanks mom!
If you label yourself as a metal head, you have this song in your playlist!!! This is one of the most amazing and energetic songs of the genre!!! I Love the Crüe!!!! I don’t consider myself a metal head but, I do listen to a lot of this type of music just not exclusively. I’m pretty well rounded in my music collection.
Best era to grow up in man...nothing like the rock concerts from the 80's. They were all general admission and the floor was always off the chain. I seen some of the best at Joe Louis Arena and the Silverdome in Detroit growing up.
Since no one else seems to have mentioned it, I believe that was the late great legendary comedian Sam Kinison driving the Crue to this gig. If you have never heard Sam? You need to. Hilarious. The original, screaming, in your face comedian. Sadly, his life was cut short by a drunk driver. Head on collision. As for some other killer Crue songs you need to check out: Try "Looks That Kill" by the Crue, too, along with "Live Wire" and "Primal Scream". Also, they did a one-off album with John Corabi singing when Vince Neil went off to do his solo album/s. "Hooligan's Holiday" with John is a beast. They were pretty much a totally different band with John out front. I love that song a lot. John has a totally different voice than Vince, a howling, higher-pitched, bluesy rasp that I think you'll definitely love. Die hard Crue fans are usually annoyed that someone/anyone other than Vince was ever the Crue's lead singer, but it's really hard not to love "Hooligan's Holiday". 🙂 Anyway. Great reactions as always, Alex.
That album with corabi was for me their best. Pounding heavy rock. I always felt motley while they had some great tunes on other albums they also has plenty of filler
The 80's, the decade of decadence, where "Sex, Drugs, and Rock&Roll" was taken to a whole new level. I was a little too young to take full advantage of it though. Now the 90's, well that's a different story. lol Side note; Anybody gonna give a shout out to Sam Kinison in the video? RIP
i was not a little too young to take full advantage, just sayin,,, 80"s,,,,,,, the most fun decade ever !!!!! And yeah, Sam Kinison was freakin hilarious, paved the way for a few comedians, eg. Bob Goldthwait ( another comedy genius in my opinion ) etc etc Motley was cranked at most parties in the 80's i have many blurred memories....:)
Now you're taking back to my days. Lol. I was in 10th grade when they came out with this album. Skipping school to go see them not once but twice. Got my ass tore up from my parents. I remember my mom asking me if it was worth the ass kicking.... I said oh it was well worth it!! Then got my ass tore up again. But I've seen them 5 times. Awesome memories!!! Thanks for sharing Alex!🤟🏼
Just came from a Concert with Motley Crue as a main performance and this was the song they finished on. To say it was an adrenaline rush all the way through is a severe understatement
i was born in '98. i love artists from many different time periods but nobody brings me the same type of energy and joy that motley crue does . In my opinion they are one of the greatest bands to have ever existed.
To be fair he might have heard it over the years but it probably just passed him by as he had no investment in listening to it. So technically this could be his first time really listening to it. I'm 39 and while I know I've heard this song back in the day, it may as well have been a new song to me at this stage.
@@kenchilds7185 Maybe he turned it off at the credits. I usually do after watching a movie. Anyhow, I ain't gonna argue about what someone may or may not have heard before. Let's just say it's plausible that he never gave the song a proper listen before this.
It's called Godsmack for a reason. Feels like the warmest most comfortable feeling in the world. Like pain pill X10 ....so I'm told. No speedy rush, you get a euphoric rush.
I've seen Motley Crue play 5 times in the last 8 years. The first time was at the Hollywood Bowl. Poison opened and was incredible. The Crue is high octane from start to finish with the piano driven "Home Sweet Home" always the last song of the night. I love these guys.
OMG ALEX YOU BROUGHT BACK A LOT OF TEENAGE MEMORIES!!!! My high school locker was adorned with The Crue, I legally changed my middle name to Lee because of my huge ass crush on Tommy Lee, partying to this band and all the other 80's hair bands [doing all those things you knew could land you in jail - but not giving a damn]. Never did heroin, thought never crossed my mind, but I did partake in the green and even tried some other stuff just to say I did. Those times made me and a lot of my friends feel invincible. Thank you so damn much young brother, you are awesome. Now do yourself a favor and delve into the 80's rock scene a bit more so you can see where us "Old Timers" are coming from. [[The guy that drove the car to the venue is also important, he is Sam Kinison a former preacher turned stand up comedian. Want some laughs check him out too]] As always much love from Kansas!!! 💗🌻
Lemmy said it best. Heroin must be good cuz people die for it. He did speed and drank like Bender on a life long binge but heroin was the one thing he never touched, which speaks volumes about it.
My dad said he saw them in concert. Snuck out- later got grounded, but said it was by far the loudest and best concert he ever went to. 1989 Dr. Feelgood Tour. Thanks to Pops, 70-80s era is my all time favorite music. Honestly I probably would have thrived in the 80s so much. Ugh just love everything about the 80s
Seeing the way music is now I feel so lucky and privileged that I had my teenage years in the 80s. The best music ever to go from a kid to an adult to.⭐😁
Wow, maaan what a blast from the past. My parents were teenagers in the 80s, and this was one of my favorite so gs when I was 8. Motley Crue has been a part of my whole entire life. I think you'd get a kick outta this band of you gave a couple more songs a try.
I love watching hip hop fans going back and watching some 80s and 90s rock and roll. You get to see how much there is to enjoy listening to people actually playing musical instruments.
From the first time I heard this song totally loved it. I have to move to it, can't sit still, have to sing along. Seeing them perform it in person again move sing along totally rock it.
Damn man, this song was my senior year in HS. Went to see them live at Legend Valley right after graduation, 1990. One of the most incredible experiences of my life. It was like another world.
Alex - you should read Nikki Sixx's book, "the heroin diaries"....it's an incredible book about his life with it. The funniest part of it, it's kinda in comic book form....great review, love your channel!!! You should try..."Sevendust - Face"...t
Does the book mention anything about Nikki Sixx's past relationships. Cause I'm pretty sure that someone in my fiancé's family dated him, or so I'm told.
I was working the Motley show in Austin Tx in January 1990. I was security and was moved to the stage and got to see the show from the stage. Amazing night for a 22 year old. I can’t even explain the excitement, noise, lights and music. 80’s were the best to be a teen/ twenty something!!
Live in the San Fernando valley ( L.A.) in the early 80's when motley crue, ratt, Cinderella and so many more were playing at the whiskey, troubadour or country club before they had record deals. The girls the parties, wish I remembered it all.
He was feeling something he could never attain again. That's why the overdoses. You need more and more and can never get that first feeling again. That, and all the crap that's in it. Too much? It's over. Bad batch? It's over. If you do it, with some exceptions, it's over. All the horror stories and proof of past losses, yet people still do it. I get the stories of it being easier to obtain than meds people need for pain these days because of the few ruining it for the many with abuse, but is it worth your life?
right a lot of doctors got in trouble for writing too many pain med prescriptions. i hear facts from my stepfather who is a pharmacist. you used to be able to get a months supply of pain meds now you can only get 3 days worth.
Tell me about it! People piss me off! I'm a post Transplant patient and I'm living minus 5 &1/2 organs. You can probably guess that my pain from all of that is through the roof. I have tried everything under the sun. But, these are the drugs that work. And IDIOTS who wanna get high have made it very difficult for me to get pain meds. I don't get it. I have alarms set on my phone so I know EXACTLY when I can take them. If I miss a dose, I wait until the next dosage time. So I have never had to worry about an overdose. I really don't see the appeal. If I didn't have to take meds to have a semi-normal life, I wouldn't take them at all. Go smoke some weed and chill. Stay away from drugs you don't NEED!
@@joeldunsmore5159 well that is for the really restricted stuff, some people with proven chronic conditions can get nearly 3 months worth of pain medication at a time.
Fun fact: me and my friends back in the day took 2 BIG ASSS speakers out in the middle of no where, they could only be transported by an 18-wheeler, we blasted this song and we got a noise complaint 2 miles away....
"I'm pretty sure that if I was a teenager in the 80s I'm pretty sure that I would be doing some craaazy shit!" You would have, we all were and we had a goddamn good time.
Can’t believe that you are as old as you are and just now hearing this song. You have been missing out for to long. I saw this in concert back in the day. It doesn’t get any better than this!!
Note to self: never listen to this song while driving... again.
You should react to ALEX TERRIBLE BAD GUY by Billie Eilish COVER
Here is the link m.ruclips.net/video/AlvBPCbfBKY/видео.html
Try listening to Machine Head by Bush and then drive!! Love the channel dont ever change!
The first time I heard Kickstart my heart I got a huge erection..... Same has held true every damn time since. We salute you
It does tend to make you stick your big toe in the carburetor...😂 Check our Wild Side! The drum solo is WICKED!!!!!
Facts, listen to it while the world is about to end
There is NOT a speaker system on planet earth loud enough to play this song properly.
Challenge Accepted
AGREED THERE IS NOT A SPEAKER LOUD ENOUGH TO PLAY THE SONG THE RIGHT WAY🤙
Ummm the one at my house rattle stuff our walls
@@legorobotics1017 U will need a speaker that will "rattle" the earth out of it's orbit and maybe just maybe it will be loud enough.
Kevin For Real I’ll look for one
Mick Mars is the most underrated hard rock guitarist of all time.
Agreed
Absolutely and to know he pulled off the amazing riffs that he did while in the immense amount of pain he suffered for so long. I know very much what he went through cause I too suffer from a form of ankylosing, mine is in my facial bones called boney ankylosis while Mick's is in his spine called ankylosing spondylitis. It fucking sucks and yet listen to what he's pulling off. He's a fucking guitar God.
He should've done more of metal then glam
KRSS83VLOGS /GAMING glam is a look not a style of music, they did metal a bit... but he's more into blues
George Lynch > all.
I don’t always listen to Motley Crue, but when I do, my neighbors do too!
Lol same! I don't like my next door neighbors so they get to party with me often. I've got a lot of base in my sub woofer 👿
🤣🤣🤣
I see this on every metal video from Maiden, Megadeth,Zeppelin, Priest, you get the point it's everywhere
The people on the highway do too.😂
Neighbor, hell . . . the entire fucking BLOCK
This song is in my playlist called "Don't listen while driving"
Hehehehe true.
Especially not if you drive a manual with some horsepower
I almost got a speeding ticket because that some came on my Spotify.
The Speeding Ticket Album
As a teenager in the 80's when people thought he died it was devastating especially because it was one year after the death of Cliff Burton and 3 years after Rick Allen crash. Was way too much for a teenager like me lol

Right!!!!
Rip razzle
Rick, Tommy and Razz all inspired me to play drums, Cliff inspired me to play bass and Randy helped me play guitar when I hated playing music
@@owena- now the 2000's are becoming worse people like Paul Grey, Eddie van Halen, Joey Jorgenson, chester, etc
Being a teenager from the 80’s, the 80’s were lit AF
You’re like 50 now and say “af” 🤨
Hell yeah!
Big PP 47 and say AF like it’s cool
True
I miss my mullet. Fuck I miss my hair. Who am I kidding? 45. Before any asshole even asks.
"This is music, man!"
Truer words have never been spoken.
CRÜE transcends generations.
I don't believe you watched "the dirt" without hearing this song.
what goes through my head when i see 'first reaction' to any iconic band/song that has been in umpteen films, tv shows, adverts, still gets consistent radio play
I think it plays at the end but it's the live version from their reunion tour so it doesn't sound as great as the orihinal
i don't believe he existed in free society for the past thirty years without hearing this song
No way is this the first time he's heard this song. I don't believe it!!!
Or talidega nights :)
80s hair metal is some of the most entertaining music out there, so full of energy, uplifting vibes, and kickass riffs. I'm glad the sound is finding some more traction among modern audiences.
That's why Mötley Crüe is my favorite band

We just called it metal and rock ..we called Poison and Bon Jovi glam rock even though Bon Jovi had good music.
@@Matt-sl1wg no reason why you and your wife can't sit down with a bottle of jack and watch glam metal clips for hours
The whole Dr Feelgood record is phenomenal. Brilliant Brilliant writing and arrangements. Classic Motley album.👍
Bob Rock
So true! The whole record is amazing!
Yep that album kicked ASS, To me this was the last Great Rock album of the 80's
Alex : "if i was a teenager in the 80s id be doing some crazy shit"
Me : "Been there done that"
🙋♀️💨😎 you not alone!
My friends and I are still shocked to this day we did not end up dead. Some FUCKING REDICULOUS FUN we had. Unfortunately the body pays the price now....but damn the memories errrrr the ones I can recall at least !!
The whole “Shout at the Devil” record is wicked. The drumming is next level for its era.
While I definitely agree it sounds like you're saying Kickstart My Heart is on Shout At The Devil lol
《AxelFoley》 oh ya. I can actually see how it reads that way. Not what I meant, but I get what you’re saying. Cheers!
Any era.
Tommy Lee is bad-ass!
The story how they wrote the song “Shout at the Devil” is pretty interesting too, It’s all written in The Dirt book.

Oh, brother I feel you 100 prct. Was great time for music. No bounds
Totally agree from another 72
I HAVE TO DISAGREE, I WOULD SAY THE 70'S HAD THE BEST MUSIC, 80'S WERE SECOND!

It’s physically impossible to sit still during this song.
Well that means I’ve done the impossible
He doesn't even comment, or realize, that was the great Sam Kinison driving the cab limo at the beginning. Glad he got to hear this!
yeah i noticed that too. Saw sam live twice, god i miss that guy
He's buried right down the road from me. Same cemetary as Wayman Tisdale.
I dunno if I'd let Kinison drive.
@@nolanmacpherson9880 Kinison was a good driver. Unfortunately, the dipshit kid who got drunk and crossed to the wrong side of the road to hit him head on wasnt.
Sadly, a lot of millennials have no idea who sam was... In fact a lot of them weren't even born when he left the building...
Being a teenager in the 80's was the fucking best!
I have to agree with you, the 80s was an awesome decade.
Right there with ya!!! Some damn good times!! Lots of partying going on. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I wouldn't know.
Hell Yes they were! I wish I could find a time machine. I would go back! Do a few things different..
Wish I was a teenager in the 80s. Born in 89😡
I'm not a huge Motley Crue fan but this song absolutely gives you a rush.
I was a teenager in the 80's and, yes, it was awesome.
you’re one of the lucky ones man. Being a teenager these days sucks.
I was steered towards the “alternative music” route...... so sad.....

Motley Crue
1. Dr Feelgood
2. Wild Side
3. Home Sweet Home
4. Girls, Girls, Girls
5. Live Wire
First three ok. But na
@@blackcountryme - First two albums good. Rest (which includes all of those songs I think)... no thanks.
Live Wire
Damn!!! Bitter Pill is a deep cut! I can appreciate that. Big fan of "If I die tomorrow" as well
6. Dancing on glass
I can't believe that he is only just now getting around to one of the best bands known to man
bASS Lessons For You thats cause hes now into real music
I’d say known to more women....if ya know what I mean...nudge, nudge, wink, wink.
they aren't even the best hair metal band. I think my favorite story in music is the story about glenn danzig and henry rollins beating the shit out of all 4 members of motley crue.
Motley Crue was fine at best, never anything special. So many bands from that time that were way better in every way.
I call bs....! This song has been everywhere for the last 30 years! Unless you got into a time machine in 1988 and blasted forward to 2020 would be the only way you _never_ heard this unbelievably awesome track.

Fuck yeah they did my sister was born 1984 I was born 1991 I love being born that close to the 80s
When I was in high school I used to hand out Fliers to Motley's shows in Hollywood
Hey Alex!,
A few more to check out!
Motley Crue:
1. Live Wire
2. Too Fast For Love.
3. Shout at the Devil
4. Bastard.
5. Dr. Feel-good.
In regards to the 80's, rock stars and drug problems. Yeah that all went hand in hand- sex, drugs and rock n roll. I would know I survived the 80's Alex. I was a teenager back then.
Another good movie about the 80's metal scene is called " Murder in the Front Row". When it starts off with " Posers must die!!!!" is awesome. It's about the thrash metal scene.
First 3 are definitely good. I didn't care for anything Post-Shout at the Devil. I had to replace Shout at the Devil several times (back in the cassette days and it kept getting played so much it'd get worn out).
Live wire has to be one of their best songs ever!!!!
I'd add If I Die Tomorrow to the list. The video showcases the worst thing each member has gone through.
Wildside if just for the FLYING DRUM SET alone.
Definitely gotta do Live Wire
Nikki checked himself out of the hospital. Hitched a ride home, then shot up again.
I want to watch Pulp Fiction again, now.
I doubt he has idea who Sam Kinnison was😣
Sherralyn I was thinking that too, because he knew who Adam was, there’s no way he wouldn’t have said anything.
That is exactly what we were doing in the 80’s. It was wild as hell and a ton of fun. Dark side is though some never pulled out and we lost some good folks.

Dio, Iron Maiden, Savatage, Fates Warning, WASP, Manowar, Accept, Saxon...

Damn...I am so glad I was a product of the 80's. 80's rock...Rocks!!!
This was legit my son’s favourite song in the car stereo when he was four. He really rocked out.
Heroin is a downer..pretty sure the song is saying Kickstart his heart like the adrenaline did to revive him.
You are correct
No shit
It is about adrenaline / rush
Did he not say that before he played the song?
Alex: "If I was a teenager in the 80's I'd be doing some crazy shit..."
Me: "Ohh You mean like blasting this song while driving your '79 bronco with a bad steering gear at 90+mph?? ohhh yeah..."
Amen, I have always pictured this song to associate with some kind of race scene from something or just going frickin fast as all crap
Exactly. 😁
78' Buick skylark with a 92' Camero engine, house speakers spliced in, mph Guage going past the top out of 78mph open roads windows down, music blaring!!
escher2112 I was a sophomore in HS when this came out. So much damn fun living this era!! I’d go back to high school and relive it!!
If memory serves... there's only one way to get a '79 Bronco over 90mph. And that's throwing it off a cliff. But your point is spot on!
Mick Mars is one of the best guitar players alive. Factor in his debilitating illness and it's mind blowing how he hits those notes
I LOVE THIS BAND!! Sex drugs and rock n roll wasn’t just a silly slogan. We lived it and they led it. 💕💕 thank God we’re still here to celebrate!
You should read The Heroin Diaries.
It’s Nikki’s diary entries from the year leading up to his famed overdose.
A decent read and led to his side project Sixx A.M. and the soundtrack he wrote for the book!
Wyo Laskan Sixx AM is a great band worth checking out. Not like Motley at all, more modern rock, but great sound.
I have that book too: horrorific true Life stories, don't Ever touch that stuff! (Or quit immediately)
I love that book so much. It is so horrifically beautiful. I am so happy Nikki got clean
Then he needs to check out Life is Beautiful
Bro, you've gotta react to "18 & Life" by Skid Row. You want another bad ass song from the 80's, thats one of them. Enjoy
I highly agree. I was actually about to comment about this song ironically!
Quicksand Jesus too
The eighties were their own special blend of crazy, innocent, colourful, and wild ass fun. I was lucky enough to have enjoyed the eighties as a teen/early twenties young man. 🤘
I'm so happy that this movie came out, because it gives me hope that this music and energy is gonna make a massive resurgence, young people are feeling nostalgic for a feeling they never lived through and I'm excited to see where this takes rock n roll in the 21st century.
Other Motley Crue songs you need to check out: Live Wire, Looks That Kill, Take Me To The Top, On With The Show, Shout At The Devil, Girls Girls Girls
And Metallica.
smoking in the boys room as well
Wild side
Primal Scream
wild side, just another psycho, knock em dead, kid, too young to fall in love, dr feelgood... the list can be very long
Yeah man motley Crew were really good back in the day, my favorite album was shout at the devil, heard it in the 6 th grade if I remember correctly, like 82-83.
It’s great to see people from a younger generation appreciate and like so called hair bands. Alex I was around your age in the 80’s. There were so many great bands that came out of that era.
The 80's were the best. the music, the clothes the parties!!! So glad I was there!!!! Seen the Crue several times in the 80's!!!
Even better, READ THE BOOK. There's a lot not quite accurate and a lot missing in the movie. BUT, the movie is FUN.
The book was far better indeed and i dont even read lol!
The book isn't accurate either I bet. Can't always admit everything.
@@robertklone8437 yeah, but way more accurate than the movie. Check out Crue Collectors on Facebook. Mark Ramirez in the group used to work for the band. He can tell some stories and back it up with pics. I saw Motley open for Ozzy in '84 and followed them ever since. Trust me the book is closer to the truth than the movie.
Absolutely. The book is awesome. My favorite part when Nikki and Tommy did the radio interview. Some girl called in the station and Nikki asked how old she was. She said 12. He said he loved 12 year olds bc you can hear the bones crack. Thank God she didn't get it but it hit 10 on the shock value scale.
BEST WAS GROWING UP WITH THE CRUE FROM 1983 ONWARD VINCE BEST FRON MAN IN A ROC BAND
Read Nikki’s book The Heroin Diaries. That is an eye opener!!
Such a good read!
It was a good read and the music that accompanied the book *chef's kiss*
So is the dirt book
I listened to it on audible. Hearing him read his own experiences, was intense, personal. I loved it
Sixx not sure if i could listen to him read it...was intense just me reading it🥺
Honestly the most underrated band of all time, amazing band with amazing music
I Love Motley Crue and they are one of my favorite bands. This song is phenomenal. You are a bad ass guitarist man.
Sold over 100 million records. So not that underated.
I'm 58 years old, and still headbanging to this song!!! 🤘
"This is music".
Just goes to show that rock and metal are the only true forms of music left.
Its Sad...this boy never watch a Good Motley Crue Show never¡¡ :p
@@antoniocarlin5026 yea the new tour
@@blank8204 jajaja¡ Vince Piggy Neil is out like a singer¡¡ change the letters...is breathless and really really sucks¡ Sorry man... I see the Crue in New Tattoo tour Carnival of Sins, the Last Tour and 1994 with John Corabi...that was good times
Bluegrass is still incredible. True blues is still played around the world. There is still some good hip-hop out there. Not like rock and metal doesn't have its share of poor performers and mediocre subgenres.
nah
As someone growing up as a kid during this time, yes, you missed out. I remember going to buy my first cassette tape and my mom suggested Ozzy. This was when I was around 12.ive been a metal head ever since. Thanks mom!
Ozzy was my 2nd cassette (blizzard of ozz). Metallica Master of Puppets was my 1st.
You're mom is a fucking Legend bro!
@@GRich-nl8ks bark at the Moon here.
If you label yourself as a metal head, you have this song in your playlist!!! This is one of the most amazing and energetic songs of the genre!!! I Love the Crüe!!!! I don’t consider myself a metal head but, I do listen to a lot of this type of music just not exclusively. I’m pretty well rounded in my music collection.
"This is Fucking music man. "
No truer words have been spoken.
“If I was a kid in the 80’s I would have been doing some crazy stuff” YES... yes u would have!
I did! :D
Best era to grow up in man...nothing like the rock concerts from the 80's. They were all general admission and the floor was always off the chain. I seen some of the best at Joe Louis Arena and the Silverdome in Detroit growing up.
Kevin Watkins I was, and I did. 😈
Since no one else seems to have mentioned it, I believe that was the late great legendary comedian Sam Kinison driving the Crue to this gig.
If you have never heard Sam?
You need to.
Hilarious.
The original, screaming, in your face comedian.
Sadly, his life was cut short by a drunk driver.
Head on collision.
As for some other killer Crue songs you need to check out:
Try "Looks That Kill" by the Crue, too, along with "Live Wire" and "Primal Scream".
Also, they did a one-off album with John Corabi singing when Vince Neil went off to do his solo album/s.
"Hooligan's Holiday" with John is a beast.
They were pretty much a totally different band with John out front.
I love that song a lot.
John has a totally different voice than Vince, a howling, higher-pitched, bluesy rasp that I think you'll definitely love.
Die hard Crue fans are usually annoyed that someone/anyone other than Vince was ever the Crue's lead singer, but it's really hard not to love "Hooligan's Holiday". 🙂
Anyway.
Great reactions as always, Alex.
That album with corabi was for me their best. Pounding heavy rock. I always felt motley while they had some great tunes on other albums they also has plenty of filler
Most certainly.
Agreed
I love Vince Neil and i love John Corabi too, unbelievable album the Motley Crue 94 album.
I still miss Sam Kinnison
How the HELL have you not heard this song! Tommy beating those skins like they owe him money. His drumming is next level BRILLIANCE.
Go old school crue..livewire, piece of your action, 10 seconds to love, red hot...whew baby!! These were the good ole days!!
The 80's, the decade of decadence, where "Sex, Drugs, and Rock&Roll" was taken to a whole new level. I was a little too young to take full advantage of it though. Now the 90's, well that's a different story. lol
Side note; Anybody gonna give a shout out to Sam Kinison in the video? RIP
I've never watched the video before. I recognized Sam Kinison right off the bat.
Alex needs to do Sam Kinison - Wild Thing
Yeah Saw Sam Kinison at the start and it brought back a flood of memories RIP
i was not a little too young to take full advantage, just sayin,,, 80"s,,,,,,, the most fun decade ever !!!!!
And yeah, Sam Kinison was freakin hilarious, paved the way for a few comedians, eg. Bob Goldthwait ( another comedy genius in my opinion ) etc etc Motley was cranked at most parties in the 80's i have many blurred memories....:)
90s were a snooze compared to the 80s
Now you're taking back to my days. Lol. I was in 10th grade when they came out with this album. Skipping school to go see them not once but twice. Got my ass tore up from my parents. I remember my mom asking me if it was worth the ass kicking.... I said oh it was well worth it!! Then got my ass tore up again. But I've seen them 5 times. Awesome memories!!! Thanks for sharing Alex!🤟🏼
Just came from a Concert with Motley Crue as a main performance and this was the song they finished on. To say it was an adrenaline rush all the way through is a severe understatement
i was born in '98. i love artists from many different time periods but nobody brings me the same type of energy and joy that motley crue does . In my opinion they are one of the greatest bands to have ever existed.
Who else is about to tackle someone just by listening to this song, I am
GODKU ROCKWELL it just gets me in the mood to mess some shit up!
GODKU ROCKWELL especially when i play this song on guitar.
“OH YEAHHH!” Kool-said Man style
The dillinger escape plan - 43% burnt makes me feel this way too.
About ready to beat the hell out of the next person I see for no reason at all haha
Officially calling bullshit. No way this dude has never heard this song before.
Light T especially if he saw the movie
A lot of his “reactions” are fake. Dude isn’t an actor. They’re easy to spot
To be fair he might have heard it over the years but it probably just passed him by as he had no investment in listening to it. So technically this could be his first time really listening to it.
I'm 39 and while I know I've heard this song back in the day, it may as well have been a new song to me at this stage.
@@kenchilds7185 Maybe he turned it off at the credits. I usually do after watching a movie.
Anyhow, I ain't gonna argue about what someone may or may not have heard before.
Let's just say it's plausible that he never gave the song a proper listen before this.
yep bullllllshiiiiiittttt.
It's called Godsmack for a reason. Feels like the warmest most comfortable feeling in the world. Like pain pill X10 ....so I'm told. No speedy rush, you get a euphoric rush.
I've seen Motley Crue play 5 times in the last 8 years. The first time was at the Hollywood Bowl. Poison opened and was incredible. The Crue is high octane from start to finish with the piano driven "Home Sweet Home" always the last song of the night. I love these guys.
Awww come on let’s hear, “shout at the devil”. That’s a much better reaction
Hell yes!
Absolutely!🤘🔥👹
Hell yes
"Is it too soon to say I already love it???" Best quote ever from a reaction. Yes sirrrr🤘😊
I love watching you falling in love with Motley Crue:) I WAS around then and I miss it every damn day, it was everything you think it was!!!
He needs to listen to Livewire.... that is the definition of the Crue ❤️
Demolisher. Slaughter to prevail. Breakdown. Is. Legendary. You won't regret it.
YES
OMG ALEX YOU BROUGHT BACK A LOT OF TEENAGE MEMORIES!!!! My high school locker was adorned with The Crue, I legally changed my middle name to Lee because of my huge ass crush on Tommy Lee, partying to this band and all the other 80's hair bands [doing all those things you knew could land you in jail - but not giving a damn]. Never did heroin, thought never crossed my mind, but I did partake in the green and even tried some other stuff just to say I did. Those times made me and a lot of my friends feel invincible. Thank you so damn much young brother, you are awesome. Now do yourself a favor and delve into the 80's rock scene a bit more so you can see where us "Old Timers" are coming from.
[[The guy that drove the car to the venue is also important, he is Sam Kinison a former preacher turned stand up comedian. Want some laughs check him out too]] As always much love from Kansas!!! 💗🌻
@Andy Salter yeah I had one of those moments a few years ago when I heard an early 80's song on an oldies radio station. Blew me away🤯 lol
This is the Crue taking a victory lap after coming out the other side.
Saw Motley Crue back in the 80's on their Dr. Feelgood tour, along with Warrant and Poison. Best concert ever!
Stop claiming that you are a hip-hop head you’re a metalhead now
He's not..
It makes you feel white again!!!!
@@rdwrdw3672 It's okay to be white.
When you listen to this garbage you’re not a metalhead
Maybe he's just a fan of good music
Lemmy said it best. Heroin must be good cuz people die for it. He did speed and drank like Bender on a life long binge but heroin was the one thing he never touched, which speaks volumes about it.
Speed is much worse than smack. Did both for years. Lemmy was wrong.
@@DJay0111 Not really though, they prescibe it too kids so it must be not as bad.
My dad said he saw them in concert. Snuck out- later got grounded, but said it was by far the loudest and best concert he ever went to. 1989 Dr. Feelgood Tour. Thanks to Pops, 70-80s era is my all time favorite music. Honestly I probably would have thrived in the 80s so much. Ugh just love everything about the 80s
The 80's and 90's were the best era's for rock music. It's hey day.
Seeing the way music is now I feel so lucky and privileged that I had my teenage years in the 80s. The best music ever to go from a kid to an adult to.⭐😁
Please react to more Mötley Crüe, or just more 80's hair metal. Thanks for the vid!
Wow, maaan what a blast from the past. My parents were teenagers in the 80s, and this was one of my favorite so gs when I was 8. Motley Crue has been a part of my whole entire life. I think you'd get a kick outta this band of you gave a couple more songs a try.
I love watching hip hop fans going back and watching some 80s and 90s rock and roll. You get to see how much there is to enjoy listening to people actually playing musical instruments.
From the first time I heard this song totally loved it. I have to move to it, can't sit still, have to sing along. Seeing them perform it in person again move sing along totally rock it.
Damn man, this song was my senior year in HS. Went to see them live at Legend Valley right after graduation, 1990. One of the most incredible experiences of my life. It was like another world.
I love Motley Crue and their music please react more to their songs
It’s never too early to say you love a song that has been a kick ass hit for a long time.
This was back when being a rock star meant you were a fucking rock star.
Try Mötley’s tunes “Don’t Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)”......or “Primal Scream”....
Dr. feelgood was an all around great album with exception to " Time for Change"
Alex - you should read Nikki Sixx's book, "the heroin diaries"....it's an incredible book about his life with it. The funniest part of it, it's kinda in comic book form....great review, love your channel!!! You should try..."Sevendust - Face"...t
I just commented the same. I read the entire thing on a flight to Korea.
John Obrien Saw Sevendust at a concert here in Ohio last year. Shit was lit! Incredible live. Tremonti was there also
@@614XJ so want to catch Tremonti when he and his band do another disc. The dude does zero wrong musically.
Does the book mention anything about Nikki Sixx's past relationships. Cause I'm pretty sure that someone in my fiancé's family dated him, or so I'm told.
80's kid. If you were not there you just dont know. It was amazing.
Never heard of the crue? guess you've never been to a strip club.
I'm using this quote now. Hope you don't mind 👍
I’m amazed that there’s actually someone who hadn’t heard “Kickstart My Heart” before!!!
Right? Even my 10 year old nephew can play this on the drums. How the hell does this happen?
You should give Red Hot a listen, let Tommy batter your ears for 3 minutes.
And primal scream
Alex, the look on your face when Vince sang “skydive naked from an aeroplane” was Epic!
I was working the Motley show in Austin Tx in January 1990. I was security and was moved to the stage and got to see the show from the stage. Amazing night for a 22 year old. I can’t even explain the excitement, noise, lights and music. 80’s were the best to be a teen/ twenty something!!
Live in the San Fernando valley ( L.A.) in the early 80's when motley crue, ratt, Cinderella and so many more were playing at the whiskey, troubadour or country club before they had record deals. The girls the parties, wish I remembered it all.
He was feeling something he could never attain again. That's why the overdoses. You need more and more and can never get that first feeling again. That, and all the crap that's in it. Too much? It's over. Bad batch? It's over. If you do it, with some exceptions, it's over. All the horror stories and proof of past losses, yet people still do it. I get the stories of it being easier to obtain than meds people need for pain these days because of the few ruining it for the many with abuse, but is it worth your life?
Somehow, they all made it out (at least up until now).
right a lot of doctors got in trouble for writing too many pain med prescriptions. i hear facts from my stepfather who is a pharmacist. you used to be able to get a months supply of pain meds now you can only get 3 days worth.
Tell me about it! People piss me off! I'm a post Transplant patient and I'm living minus 5 &1/2 organs. You can probably guess that my pain from all of that is through the roof. I have tried everything under the sun. But, these are the drugs that work. And IDIOTS who wanna get high have made it very difficult for me to get pain meds.
I don't get it. I have alarms set on my phone so I know EXACTLY when I can take them. If I miss a dose, I wait until the next dosage time. So I have never had to worry about an overdose. I really don't see the appeal. If I didn't have to take meds to have a semi-normal life, I wouldn't take them at all. Go smoke some weed and chill. Stay away from drugs you don't NEED!
@@joeldunsmore5159 well that is for the really restricted stuff, some people with proven chronic conditions can get nearly 3 months worth of pain medication at a time.
yes
Fun fact: me and my friends back in the day took 2 BIG ASSS speakers out in the middle of no where, they could only be transported by an 18-wheeler, we blasted this song and we got a noise complaint 2 miles away....
"I'm pretty sure that if I was a teenager in the 80s I'm pretty sure that I would be doing some craaazy shit!"
You would have, we all were and we had a goddamn good time.
Finally some 80s metal 🤘🔥
Cool fact: This song is etched inside the turret of the battleship USS Iowa
The 80’s has some of the greatest songs every!
Can’t believe that you are as old as you are and just now hearing this song. You have been missing out for to long. I saw this in concert back in the day. It doesn’t get any better than this!!
