Above average? Tommy Lee plays with a swing and weight to his drumming that's easliy recognized, he and Alex Van Halen were the top guys, even Bob Rock (producer on Dr Feelgood AND Metallica's black album) thought Tommy Lee was great, probably better than Lars Ulrich
First of all NO Great band is Good more or less Great without a really GOOD solid drummer. Think about it. Drumbeats make people wanna dance. And they also help people decide if they turn the song off or keep listening and give the lyrics a chance. Think about it. TBone is at least 10 Top Rock Drummers of all time. Most would say Top 5.

Ahaha. The Crue, huh? In the late 80's, when I was a youngster, I got into the Crue. I like the song "Looks that Kill", and the video for "Girls, Girls, Girls" led my conservative mom to remove MTV from our cable for a bit!
Yes!!! More “Hair Metal” , they were one of the first bands that wore makeup… do Ratt, Dokken, Poison, Cinderella, Skid Row, Steelheart, Winger, Slaughter, White Lion, Bullet Boys are a few excellent choices. 🔥🤘😎💗
I just came across y’all’s video and your reactions were awesome. The Dr. Feelgood your was actually the only tour they have ever done where all of them were 100% sober.
Love Crue! Their 1st album is more thrash, like a dude below said "Live Wire" is the best song from them. You also have Shout at the devil album that put them on the map. Dr. FEELGOOD is great, as are so many others, hard to pick
The true talent in Motley Crue was Nikki Sixx writing the music and Mick Mars guitar ability. Tbh Tommy Lee and Vince Neil are massively overrated and not very respected as musicians/human beings.
Keeping in the glam metal area you should also check out Still of the Night by Whitesnake. Cello bow used to play guitar, I mean cmon. It sounds incredible.
Motley Crue is definitely something different at the time just like guns n' roses fun fact that most people know nowadays anyway that in the Netflix movie The dirt Tommy Lee has played by machine gun Kelly which he does an awesome job as Tommy Lee. Trash talker for life
As great as this album is, I still love their earlier albums much more! "Too Fast For Love", "Shout At The Devil", and "Theater Of Pain" are always my top three albums from Mötley Crüe! You guys must check out the song "On With The Show"!
Motley Crue wild side, girl girls girls, shout at the devil, kick start my heart and without you their one ballad that every 80's hair metal band had to have I recommend. Without you is also me and my wife's "song" lol
Tommy Lee was a great rock drummer! He hit them fucking hard, and you knew exactly where the beat was. A different style than Peart and Carey, it's not fair to compare. For what he was, he was one of the best!
Any time you see a drummer have his entire set up lift up in the air and spin around, turn on its side, go upside down and shit while he's playing owes it all to Tommy Lee.
A lot of the comments talk about early glam bands being the beginning of this genre, and while it’s true that Slade, the Sweet, T. Rex, New York Dolls, and others were huge influences, they were glam, not hair metal. You also have Alice Cooper and Kiss as huge influences, but that wasn’t quite hair metal yet. In my opinion, it was Quiet Riot that put out the first real hair metal album and pulled all of those influences into the next phase of the sound.
You've gotta do "The Dirt" from Motley Crue's film "The Dirt". It's got Machine Gun Kelly rapping in the middle and the end of the song!! MGK also plays Tommy Lee in the film. (See footage of Tommy in concert on his roller coaster drum set that goes over the audience...named "The Crucifly". So awesome!!
The first examples of this fusion began appearing in the late 1970s and early 1980s in the United States, particularly on the Los Angeles Sunset Strip music scene. Early glam metal bands include Mötley Crüe, Hanoi Rocks, Ratt, Quiet Riot, Twisted Sister, Bon Jovi, and Dokken. But obviously there are many more too.
🦋 "Round & Round" was a hit for the band Ratt, I was a big Mötley Crue fan back when. Love the music to this day. Still have all my CD's, cassette's & Tshirts. There is so many great songs by them. One of my All time favorite's is "Home Sweet Home" Awesome Reaction Guys! When all else fails Birthday Binge Watching Always makes it better!
Lol we listened to all the hair bands you just mentioned in high school with the ghetto blaster on the shoulders - Hahaha truth. Glad you picked Dr Feel good to start - one of their most popular tunes. Have fun with the hair bands, there's so many, it's great fun! 😂❤️🇨🇦
Oh, man. This song takes me back to Saturday Night during my high school days. My best friends since elementary school at the time (Andy and Eddie) would wrestle on Saturday Nights, and one of the guys they wrestled with and hung out with was named Jason, but he went by the stage name of Dr. Feelgood, and this was his coming out song. Great times.
Motley Crue is my favorite hard rock/hair band. I've been listening to them since 1983 when I saw them at the US Festival. You might want to check out their bio-movie The Dirt about their early days on Netflix. As far as songs go: Live Wire (Off their debut album) is from their earliest beginings and then Saints Of Los Angeles the title tract of their last album (2008). For some real rabbit hole trippings, try Hooligans Holiday from the one album they made WITHOUT Vince. As for Tommy, he was not the star but he got a lot of mainstream press because he was married to Heather Locklear and Pamela Anderson. Hell, he even had a reality TV show about him going to college.
You guys are so cool, love the vibe you put out in your reaction videos because they're always real, I was like to suggest a Ratt song for you to react to it's called ALL OR NOTHING, I don't think that it's a very well known song but I truly believe that it is a very good Good song!!!!! Love the vibe fella's keep up the Good work and always stay BLESSED!!!!!
Motley Crue did a remake of this song with 2 Live Crew for a movie. Other great songs: Live Wire, Looks That Kill, Too Young To Fall In Love, Girls Girls Girls, Wild Side, Kickstart My Heart
Great reaction fellas. Welcome to Hair/Glam Metal dudes!!! You need to check out other tracks from Crue like "Girls, Girls, Girls", "Wild Side", "Looks That Kill" etc. And you guys mentioned Ratt. RATT RULES!!!! The one song you may recognize from them is "Round and Round" but they have so many great songs you can't go wrong with some Ratt N Roll!!!
I came of age during the glam metal era, middle school through high school. Still a guilty pleasure of mine. I would say the big 4 of glam metal are Ratt, Motley Crue, Cinderella, and Poison. It got very saturated in the late 80s with many copycat bands.
I would classify the big 4 of glam metal as Motley Crue, Poison, Bon Jovi, and Def Leppard. Those four bands had more successful radio hits than any others. Edit: Could possibly toss Van Halen in as a fifth.
@@azuredragon7879 But although Bon Jovi and Def Leppard had their peak during that era, and were huge, neither were glam metal bands, they just got lumped in with it.
When these guys recorded this all 4 had just gotten clean/sober after Bassist Nikki Sixx overdosed on heroin. 2 shots of adrenaline later to get his heart pumping again and he checked out of hospital against medical advice , went home and was shooting up again waking up the next day with the needle still in his arm. I am a die hard Motley Crue fan
Robert Alan Deal aka Mick Mars spent many years struggling in the music scene. So, he changed his image and name to Mick Mars. When he retooled himself, Mick found an opportunity in Recycler, want ads for musicians as Motley Crue seeking guitarist. Mick got hired.... During his tenure with Crue, Mick has been suffering from a form of arthritis. Even this disease, he jams on his guitar.
One thing I’ll say about Mötley Crüe is that they were crazy🤣. They messed up hotel rooms and ran around in the halls practically naked, they smashed their guitars and stuff on stage, did drugs, drank a bunch of alcohol. They were known to have the life of “Drugs S*x and Rock and roll”. But they are a fun band to listen to and has good stage presents. They are also sober now too.
Yall gotta check out some live videos and see Tommy Lee flying above the crowd and spinning around in his drum set. It's nuts. As for your other questions, Motley Crue was definitely harder edged than Poison and Warrant and the real glam metal stuff. Check out Kickstart My Heart. I would agree that these guys were better musicians than most of the other hair bands of the time, which is why I still listen to this album.
The first real Hair Metal band had to be Kiss who were popular during the mid 1970s and onward. They inspired the likes of Quiet Riot and Motley Crue who would later popularise the genre into the 1980s. Some people say Kiss aren't Metal, but for the 1970s, the bar wasn't that high to be considered Metal. Led Zeppelin was considered Metal at the time and many still consider them as Metal. Kiss started a lot of trends for the 1980s LA Metal scene that lasted the whole decade including the arena songs, face paint/makeup, extravagant live shows, et cetera. They actually took a lot from Alice Cooper who came out a few years before, and Alice took from Arthur Brown who was popular in the 1960s.
as a huge Crüehead, you cannot over look Mick! Besides being an amazing rock guitarist, he's one of the absolute best Blues guitarists. Tommy was the master of stage presence. Nikki is the ringmaster, and Vince, well, he'd steal your girl. Mötley is all about image. Their live shows are truly something you cannot get anywhere else. Not only LOUD but amazing pyrotechnics and shenanigans!!!
The name to remember whenever talking about Motley Crue is Nikki Sixx, the bass player. He wrote the music, the lyrics, and, was the chief creative force behind the band.
@@chrisbowen8162 The Police - Synchronicity for me. Still a classic. The kids today will never know...(haha we are approaching old fogey level here...).
What I can tell you about Tommy Lee is I have never seen a band elevate their drummer into the air and rotate him while he was playing. I never saw it live but I saw about it.
Motley Crue always had a more street feel because they actually got started as a punk band. They only started doing the glam stuff for the money. You can certainly hear Bob Rock's production on this album with those bassy and crisp drums. He's the same guy who produced Metallica's black album with Enter Sandman, Sad but True, etc... He had a signature production sound.
If you guys had seen these guys back in the 80's... live... you'd have a much greater appreciation of them all... those performances were off the hook!
Tommy Lee was famous because he brought the awesome stage performance and craziness. Vince Neil was THE bad-boy of rock’n roll in his day. (Those days are gone). Nick Sixx is cool… happy to be still alive. Mick Mars is still creating new and ground breaking guitar tunes today.
Their Home Sweet Home ballad is really good. During the late 1970s and early 1980s, heavy metal spawned several forms; glam metal became its most popular. The first wave of glam metal bands included Quiet Riot, Mötley Crüe, Ratt, Helix, W.A.S.P., Dokken, Bon Jovi, Night Ranger, and Stryper. The very first was Black Sabbath in the 70s'.
I know you guys would love Mother Love Bone. Very funky and "almost" hip-hop...almost. They have a line that says, "Im Captain Hi-top, the love commander. Hide your mom, control your sister."
I just joined. There's a group that would be worth watching and listening. Their name is Triumph. The song is Fight the Good Fight. Watch the one that takes place in Halifax in 1987. The man has a phenomenal voice and he kicked ass on the guitar
I'm 5 days late to the party here. These guys were certainly one of the pioneers of hair/glam metal, but were heavily influenced by 70s glam rockers like the New York Dolls, David Bowie, and T Rex as well as giants like Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. They gave up the glam look after the album Theater of Pain, starting with Girls Girls Girls. Y'all gotta check out the videos for Live Wire, Looks That Kill, Too Young To Fall In Love, Home Sweet Home, Kickstart My Heart, Smoking In The Boy's Room, Wild Side, Girls Girls Girls, and Primal Scream. They have other videos, but those are their heyday vids. 🤘🙂🤘
Opinion here, but I think Tommy Lee is known more for his marriage to Heather Locklear and his sex tape with Pamela Anderson than his stellar drumming. I'm not saying he's bad, just not considered one of the best ever. With that said, I do like his solo song "Hold Me Down" quite a lot, he does a decent job on vocals.
Terrible bass player, terrible singer always been. Mediocre guitar player and drummer . Pre recorded back up vocals, and pre recorded guitar tracks... bunch of fakes .
Tommy Lee is an amazing drummer, and Mick Mars is an even more incredible guitarist. Gotta hear Kick Start My Heart and Home Sweet Home before you wander off!
This may sound strange given the song content. But you took me back to elementary school with this!!! Home Sweet Home and Kickstart My Heart would be worth checking out.
Wild side is pure carnage and I think you guys would live that live video and how the lyrics are a twist and play on words. Shout at the devil and others great as well.
Hi. Love your reaction to Mötley Crües Dr Feelgood. Been a fan since the 80,s and you should watch their biopic on Netflix called "The Dirt" or read the book (even better). The guys started out in 1981 and first video was "Live Wire". They were one of the first heavy metal-glamrock hairbands. But their first album "Too Fast for Love "was also some what punkrock mixed with heavy metal. With every album they change their looks and sound, because other bands started copying them. And Mötley always had great stageshow with amazing pyrotecnics. Hope you check out more Mötley Crüe. Songs to react to: Live Wire, Looks that kill, Shout at the Devil, Home Sweet Home, Smoking in the boys room, Wild Side, Girls Girls Girls, Kickstart my Heart, Without You, Primal Scream, Anarchy, Affraid, If I die tomorrow, Saints of Los Angeles, The Dirt with Mgk. Mick Mars is a very underrated leadguitarist and really good. He brought a lot of blues into many of their songs. If you wanna check out more live shows, check out their "Carnival of Sin" tour from 2005. Amazing sound. This year 2022 they are going on tour with Def Leppard, Poison and Joan Jett. The Stadium Tour. Last year they had a 40th Anniversary.
Ratt biggest song was round and round I'm in my mid 40s I grew up with this music in my day in school I was known as a "head banger" due to liking heavy music lol I drew this cover of the album in my 8th grade art class I feel old now lol

Also would like to recommend Skid Row. In a darkened room, wasted time, 18 and life and youth gone wild. They were kind of a hair metal band too.
Oh lawdy lol.. Back in middle school and high school I use to tell my friends that I was going to marry Tommy Lee and have a bunch of drummer babies😂

When he retooled himself, Mick found an opportunity in Recycler, want ads for musicians as Motley Crue seeking guitarist. Mick got hired.... During his tenure with Crue, Mick has been suffering from a form of arthritis. Even this disease, he jams on his guitar.
You should check out their first video they did.
Motley Crue - Live Wire
One thing I’ll say about Mötley Crüe is that they were crazy🤣. They messed up hotel rooms and ran around in the halls practically naked, they smashed their guitars and stuff on stage, did drugs, drank a bunch of alcohol. They were known to have the life of “Drugs S*x and Rock and roll”. But they are a fun band to listen to and has good stage presents. They are also sober now too.
Yall gotta check out some live videos and see Tommy Lee flying above the crowd and spinning around in his drum set. It's nuts. As for your other questions, Motley Crue was definitely harder edged than Poison and Warrant and the real glam metal stuff. Check out Kickstart My Heart. I would agree that these guys were better musicians than most of the other hair bands of the time, which is why I still listen to this album.
The first real Hair Metal band had to be Kiss who were popular during the mid 1970s and onward. They inspired the likes of Quiet Riot and Motley Crue who would later popularise the genre into the 1980s. Some people say Kiss aren't Metal, but for the 1970s, the bar wasn't that high to be considered Metal. Led Zeppelin was considered Metal at the time and many still consider them as Metal. Kiss started a lot of trends for the 1980s LA Metal scene that lasted the whole decade including the arena songs, face paint/makeup, extravagant live shows, et cetera. They actually took a lot from Alice Cooper who came out a few years before, and Alice took from Arthur Brown who was popular in the 1960s.
as a huge Crüehead, you cannot over look Mick! Besides being an amazing rock guitarist, he's one of the absolute best Blues guitarists. Tommy was the master of stage presence. Nikki is the ringmaster, and Vince, well, he'd steal your girl. Mötley is all about image. Their live shows are truly something you cannot get anywhere else. Not only LOUD but amazing pyrotechnics and shenanigans!!!
The name to remember whenever talking about Motley Crue is Nikki Sixx, the bass player. He wrote the music, the lyrics, and, was the chief creative force behind the band.
Two words BOB FUCKING ROCK, did amazing production on this album. its why it's funky, why it's heavy, those open hats that drive the whole thing...
Nothing like the 80's, my friends. The loudest decade ever!!
This was the first album they did sober they claim they did
Soundgarden- "Loud Love"
Ratt sings round and round,
Tommy Lee was one of the first to have his drum kit rotate upside down while he played live
In grade 6 I had a Ratt t-shirt :P Yes I am that old!
@@pdog547 the first cassette I bought with my own money was Shout at the Devil I'm that old!
@@chrisbowen8162 The Police - Synchronicity for me. Still a classic. The kids today will never know...(haha we are approaching old fogey level here...).
What I can tell you about Tommy Lee is I have never seen a band elevate their drummer into the air and rotate him while he was playing. I never saw it live but I saw about it.
Motley Crue always had a more street feel because they actually got started as a punk band. They only started doing the glam stuff for the money. You can certainly hear Bob Rock's production on this album with those bassy and crisp drums. He's the same guy who produced Metallica's black album with Enter Sandman, Sad but True, etc... He had a signature production sound.
Crew to Crue...who remembers that? Motley Crue and 2 Live Crew did a song in 1989ish
“Live wire “ is from the first album and Wild Side is awesome 🤩!!!!!! Girls, Girls, Girls !!!!!
This one got me fired up. May I suggest Madeleine by WINGER hair metal rocker❤️
For me this is, by far, their best song. I’m not a huge fan, way too commercial for me, but they still rocked for a hot minute.
Awesome seeing rappers go loose on a metal song. That’s like a Mormon going wild at a rock concert! Awesome!!!
If you guys had seen these guys back in the 80's... live... you'd have a much greater appreciation of them all... those performances were off the hook!
Tommy Lee was famous because he brought the awesome stage performance and craziness. Vince Neil was THE bad-boy of rock’n roll in his day. (Those days are gone). Nick Sixx is cool… happy to be still alive. Mick Mars is still creating new and ground breaking guitar tunes today.
Their Home Sweet Home ballad is really good. During the late 1970s and early 1980s, heavy metal spawned several forms; glam metal became its most popular. The first wave of glam metal bands included Quiet Riot, Mötley Crüe, Ratt, Helix, W.A.S.P., Dokken, Bon Jovi, Night Ranger, and Stryper. The very first was Black Sabbath in the 70s'.
Ratt and Crue 2 of the earliest. Check out “lay it down”, but round and round is their most impulse hit
I know you guys would love Mother Love Bone. Very funky and "almost" hip-hop...almost. They have a line that says, "Im Captain Hi-top, the love commander. Hide your mom, control your sister."
I just joined. There's a group that would be worth watching and listening. Their name is Triumph. The song is Fight the Good Fight. Watch the one that takes place in Halifax in 1987. The man has a phenomenal voice and he kicked ass on the guitar
I'm 5 days late to the party here.
These guys were certainly one of the pioneers of hair/glam metal, but were heavily influenced by 70s glam rockers like the New York Dolls, David Bowie, and T Rex as well as giants like Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath.
They gave up the glam look after the album Theater of Pain, starting with Girls Girls Girls.
Y'all gotta check out the videos for Live Wire, Looks That Kill, Too Young To Fall In Love, Home Sweet Home, Kickstart My Heart, Smoking In The Boy's Room, Wild Side, Girls Girls Girls, and Primal Scream. They have other videos, but those are their heyday vids.
🤘🙂🤘
Opinion here, but I think Tommy Lee is known more for his marriage to Heather Locklear and his sex tape with Pamela Anderson than his stellar drumming. I'm not saying he's bad, just not considered one of the best ever. With that said, I do like his solo song "Hold Me Down" quite a lot, he does a decent job on vocals.
Tommy was just plain "COOL" also love his comment of he would leave the country if trump won over Biden:)
None of Motley were top ten list at their instruments or vocals but, together as a band they frickin kicked ass.
Terrible bass player, terrible singer always been.
Mediocre guitar player and drummer .
Pre recorded back up vocals, and pre recorded guitar tracks... bunch of fakes .
@@mooch514 Mötley Crüe has sold over 100 million albums worldwide.
@@lakenneth374 not even close. They sold like 40 million . Its confirmed. Dont over hype it .
Tommy Lee is an amazing drummer, and Mick Mars is an even more incredible guitarist. Gotta hear Kick Start My Heart and Home Sweet Home before you wander off!
I prefer OG Crew. Try “Looks that Kill” or “Too Young To Fall in Love.”
BUT if you're going to do Hair Bands, QUEENSRYCHE all the way.
KICKSTART MY HEART!! MUST DO IT 🤘🏻🤘🏻🔥
This may sound strange given the song content. But you took me back to elementary school with this!!!
Home Sweet Home and Kickstart My Heart would be worth checking out.
My favorite song from Motley !Greatings from France 🇨🇵🍺
Belated happy birthday Smokey!!
Wild side is pure carnage and I think you guys would live that live video and how the lyrics are a twist and play on words. Shout at the devil and others great as well.
Hi. Love your reaction to Mötley Crües Dr Feelgood. Been a fan since the 80,s and you should watch their biopic on Netflix called "The Dirt" or read the book (even better).
The guys started out in 1981 and first video was "Live Wire". They were one of the first heavy metal-glamrock hairbands. But their first album "Too Fast for Love "was also some what punkrock mixed with heavy metal. With every album they change their looks and sound, because other bands started copying them. And Mötley always had great stageshow with amazing pyrotecnics. Hope you check out more Mötley Crüe.
Songs to react to: Live Wire, Looks that kill, Shout at the Devil, Home Sweet Home, Smoking in the boys room, Wild Side, Girls Girls Girls, Kickstart my Heart, Without You, Primal Scream, Anarchy, Affraid, If I die tomorrow, Saints of Los Angeles, The Dirt with Mgk.
Mick Mars is a very underrated leadguitarist and really good. He brought a lot of blues into many of their songs.
If you wanna check out more live shows, check out their "Carnival of Sin" tour from 2005. Amazing sound.
This year 2022 they are going on tour with Def Leppard, Poison and Joan Jett. The Stadium Tour.
Last year they had a 40th Anniversary.
Ratt biggest song was round and round I'm in my mid 40s I grew up with this music in my day in school I was known as a "head banger" due to liking heavy music lol I drew this cover of the album in my 8th grade art class I feel old now lol
Haha nice! I made an L.A. Guns t shirt when we were doing silk screening in art class! And also drew a picture of Steven Adler 😆👍🏽
