One of the greatest rock bands of all time . . .

[Shotgun 1]

Another thread got me thinking.
I know that Motley Crue seem a bit whatever right now, but they were once really, really fucking hot.

Glam rock pussies,

Metallica have ruled metal while motlie crue were frantically wasting hairspray on really bad hair styles.

I was blessed to see Metallica in their early days.

But unfortunately I also saw them in their strung-out days. (The source of "Master of Puppets," I suppose.)

But you're right. They did sort of kick Motley Crue's ass. I liked 'em both though.

OK, since you mentioned Metallica...

Kickstart my Heart. Misunderstood is pretty good too.

My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.

Shout at the Devil is probably my favorite song of theirs, but I can't find a good copy of it to post here. (I have it on vinyl.)

[Remster 26]

Led Zeppelin started Metal Music before Metal Music was a catagory. Jimmy Paige use a violin bow on his double necked guitar.

I knew you were a Meatloaf fan too, Pookie.

I want you, I need you, but there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you.... Now don't be sad, 'cause two out of three ain't bad.

I hope you saw Metallica with Ozzie at the R&R hall of fame concert.

You could really tell how much they enjoyed playing IRON MAN

No, I didn't see that. Did they really play "Iron Man"???

[warpedskydiver 0]

You are damned right they did, it appeared to be the biggest thrill they ever had on stage.

Lars said if it were not for Ozzie, they would not be here.

Look - they weren't the "best" band. I would not count them as "the greatest.". But I count them as "great."

Following reasons:
They were founding fathers of 80's metal. They helped turn metal into "Bring your Girlfriends" music.

They decided to take metal and add elements of Alice Cooper and KISS - put on a show.

They were astute businessmen. Nicky Sixx saw the vlue of parental advisories in increasing record sales.

Mick Mars is, I think, underrated as a guitarist. While Sixx and Lee provided great rhythm section, Mars did some things that I found pretty neat. Slide guitar? Yep.

It was a band that took things a step further. The greatest band? No. But nobody was better at doing what they did.
And many tried to do it.

I would say the granddaddy of all metal bands was undoubtedly Black Sabbath.

[Shotgun 1]

Alice Cooper??? Probably THE greatest artist of all time.

OK, maybe not. There were the Beatles, and Led Zeppelin.

And KISS? I guess I just didn't get them.

But Motley Crue, dude, they ROCKED the leather. So yeah, I guess you're right about the "bring your girlfriend" music. I regretted turning down a date to one of their concerts (the "Shout at the Devil" tour).

The funny thing is that I had a ticket and backstage pass shortly thereafter to an Alice Cooper concert with Guns and Roses opening, but they had to cancel because they didin't sell enough tickets. (No one knew who GNR were at that time, and Alice apparently wasn't popular enough.)
