i admit my lyrics suck, i have a better one but you will still think they suck because you dont like me,

Your better lyrics, are just a clear cut rip-off of Stairway to Heaven.

*Runs to his lyrics to see*

no there are different ones, there are on onter site, which you can not know might i add

Hidden lyrics.......good idea. Only those that are meant to see them will.

exactly my friend

And here he goes, backing up his other account.

hahahaha (the cradle of filth person isn't me) I'll convert you to noise rock soon enough *evil laugh* *exit stage right*

Motley Crue is one of the best..gotta love them! saw them live, they rock..i got Tommys drumsticks..yeah be jealious.

Which London are you from???

England

If you have to announce you can kick someone's a$$, that puts you right in the 'look how tough I am' category.

That being said, The Crue are probably the biggest band to come out of the whole VO-5 hair metal genre. That isn't saying much, though.

In the context of contributions to the world of music, they contibuted absolutely nothing but a look. There was nothing innovative or groundbreaking, music wise. Oh, sure, there were a few guitars gods (very few), and a few singers that could knew their way around a mike. Their songwriting was tacky and cliche. But, for the most part, hair metal made no impact on music history at all.

However, in the context of simply having a good time and playing crunchy metal, they were pretty good at it. It wasn't deep, didn't contain a whole lot of thought provoking lyrics, and just about any bar band out there could get a contract if they had the look.

It was fun music, with no real meaning, and that's why it burned out so quickly. The teens that were banging their heads to that stuff moved on into their 20s and then next generation came along and said "what the heck is this crap?". That's when grunge came along, and the hair bands pretty much disappeared.

Oh, sure, you could still see Quiet Riot....at the State Fair, playing for maybe 1,000 people.

There's been a resurgence lately, but it's not due to anyone suddenly taking The Crue seriously. It's nostalgia, plain and simple. People who banged their heads to this stuff 20 years ago are now in their late 30's or so, and go see this stuff to spend an evening back in their hey day, you know?

There's a place near here called Kahunaville, with an outdoor deck, big enough for concerts, and last year (I think), they had 3-4 hair bands one night. I forget which ones, (I didn't go), but it was obvious these hair bands knew that alone, no one would come see them except for their most diehard fans. But, lump a handful of them together, and you got "Wow, I can see band A,B, and C, for 25 bucks".

The Crue is selling out dates now, because it's been 15 years or so since they toured together, and people want to see it. Did anyone happen to see the show that followed their re-uniting? Vince Neil was playing, like the grand opening of the new Walmart or something when they approached him about it.


So anyway, there's my two cents worth.

alex ur ***. dont post threads on bands u no nothing about. name another band to go quad. platinum on their first 5 albums. ctts is *** so screw u

Chill out and CTTS>>>Motley crue, and thats not just an opinion. Better vocalist, better songwriting, better musicians.

bullcrap vince is way better than the dude from ctts. and nikki is better than their bassist. never paid attention to their drummer or their lead, but there u go. and music is opinion neway, so wut u think dont hav to b wut i think

I usually don't like to bash bands on their own threads.

But Motley Crue really are crap.

yes they are, and so might i add is most of cradle of filth..friiging mainstream black metal wtf

Okay, I was wrong. Circle Takes The Square don't even compare to motley crue in terms of talent. Everyone, the guy who spells you u, be b, anyway neway and what wut is obviously more intelligent then me. Another thing, theres such thing as a factual opinion.

P.S. Does your mommy know you reffered to someone as "gay?"

Meh, Cradle Of Filth are so inept that i find them somewhat amusing.

To be honest i don't like black metal too much, except for Dimmu Borgir, if they qualify.

Celtic Frost are great, they can qualify as black metal can they?

Why does everyone hate Cradle of Filth? I mean, they technically arent that great like AT ALL, but the shows are very loud and interactive and Dani is quite amusing. lol. I mean, its been brought up like three or four times on this thread for no reason.

I personally don't have much respect for bands that have albums that range from mediocore to shit but, have great live shows.

Sunn O))) > all

in all things concerning being loud.

old dimmu borgir qualifuies... :)

Nahh , hair metal ;)

I'm pretty sure that a few Britney Spears albums have gone platinum as well.
Did you forget to take your medicine this morning?

Quit posting here you dumbass.

Quadruple platinum on their first 5 albums? That's a mighty lofty claim. I'd like to see that, from a reliable source, in writing.

And if it is, in fact, true, the has got to be other artists who can match or best it.

Well Motley Crue`s total U.S. album sales is 23 million , taking into account their worldwide sales & they fact that nobody was dumb enough to buy any of their albums post 1990 i`d say that them going quadruple platinum on each of their first 5 albums was possible.

Quad platinum is what, 4 million? The first 5 albums add up to 20 million, then(if they did in fact go quadruple platinum). With 3 million for everything after that?

maybe that 3 million bought the huge number of greatest hits albums they knocked out on a regular basis throughout the 90s

Nah, hair metal is somewhat of a consistant sound, which Celtic Frost don't have, their closer to bands like Maiden and Priest than anything, and they're sure as hell ain't hair metal.

Oh wait?... You were joking weren't you?... I could never tell. :o:

^

Hey , Camera never lies

motley crue
 

arn`t they the ones that switch to classic rock lol
I think soo am i right i dont know too much about them:beer: :beer: :beer:

....wow.

i think nikki is a great inspiration for bass

Me too, kinda, I mean he is among the group of bassists that gave something to the rock world.

No he isnt..Hes nothing out of the ordinary..Bassists that gave something to rock were bassists like Les Claypool, Geddy Lee, and Chris squire

^don't forget Victor Wooten, Matt Freedman (yes he plays for Rancid but he's got a pick/fingers hybrid playing style and he can walk good) and damn you said Les

A list wouldnt be complete without him

i actually think nikki was very good at bass. kickstart my heart and dr. feelgood really emphasize his heavy playing on the bass where he plays it like a guitar. but you guys forgot cliff burton up there

I'm not gonna lie, Nikki DID inspire me to pick up the bass, but it was for the image. His image, not his talent, inspired me.
