Story of Motley Crue

Mötley Crüe: The Kings of Glam Metal

Mötley Crüe, the iconic American heavy metal band, exploded onto the Hollywood scene in 1981. Founded by the dynamic duo of bassist Nikki Sixx and drummer Tommy Lee, the group was soon joined by guitarist Mick Mars and lead vocalist Vince Neil, forming the legendary quartet that would redefine the face of rock music.

With over 100 million albums sold worldwide, Mötley Crüe became a global force, leaving an indelible mark on the heavy metal landscape. They amassed an impressive discography, scoring seven platinum or multi-platinum certifications, nine Top 10 albums on the Billboard 200 chart (including their 1989 masterpiece, "Dr. Feelgood," which reigned supreme at number one), twenty-two Top 40 mainstream rock hits, and six Top 20 pop singles.

Known for their hedonistic lifestyle and androgynous personas, Mötley Crüe pushed boundaries and challenged norms. Their early albums, "Too Fast for Love" (1981) and "Shout at the Devil" (1983), showcased a raw, hard rock sound. However, their third album, "Theatre of Pain" (1985), marked their entry into the first wave of glam metal, solidifying their place as pioneers of the genre.

Mötley Crüe's live performances were legendary, known for their elaborate spectacle featuring flamethrower guitars, rollercoaster drum kits, and explosive pyrotechnics, including their signature "Sixx on Fire" effect. Their music and stage presence captivated audiences worldwide, leaving a lasting impression on generations of rock fans.

Their most recent studio album, "Saints of Los Angeles," was released in June 2008. In 2015, the band concluded their career with a final show on New Year's Eve, a fitting end to a legendary chapter in rock history. The concert was captured for a theatrical and Blu-ray release in 2016, ensuring that their legacy would live on for years to come.
