I have enjoyed the talent of MOTLEY CRUE since the summer of '83. Right after they played and opened Metal Day at the US Festival in 1983.  I had heard of them earlier, but
shrugged them off for punkish KISS ripoffs. I had only heard livewire once or twice
on mtv until they banned it. I never got a real good look or feel. Then a friend lent me
his copy of an album called Shout at the Devil. He just got it and it was brand new.
I looked at the cover and thout they looked cool. I fucken dug the hidden pentagrams and the backwards masking wanring!!! That rocked.
I took that record home, and put on side one 1st song. Honestly at first I didn't care for it.
I was into KISS and DEF LEPPARD, RIOT, and a bunch of other shit. One night I was
drinking beer at a friends house and heard something on the radio. It was late at night
and we received some radio feed, once a week at like, 9:00 - 2:00 or something.
But what I heard was pretty killer. It was catchy and gooven.
Then the chorus came..............SHE.......GOT.......LOOKS........KILL........
Fuck that was it. BAMN... I found my teenage calling. The Fucken Crue. Yeah..!
These guys were the epitimy of rock and roll.
