When I read The Dirt, Mick Mars seemed like a genuinely decent dude. The other three were pretty awful.

Motley Crue is a pretty good band name. Outside of that, I’ve got no time for this mess.

Mars' story in that book is heartbreaking.

I had the weird honour at 15 of having both Motley Crue and The Cure as my favourite bands… unsurprisingly at 16 that became Jane’s Addiction…

Crap. Crappity crap crap crappity crap. Crapsicles. Craptacular. Craphilis. Crap on toast. C-R-A-P spells crap.

Raspberries cover from the TFFL-era. Not bad. Not great, but Nikki's radar is calibrated.

I discovered the Raspberries version from hearing this. I owe them for that.

It is the least crap Motley Crue album. However, that's not to say it isn't crap. It is.

If you're interested in such things, you should check out Razor Boys, a mid-70s band from Atlanta who not only out-sleaze the Crue, they were doing it first.

Not crap on the merit of Livewire alone. I prefer Shout, but I like this one too.

Credit where it's due...

Allison Robertson hit the "Multi Ball..." on this guitar part.
