For the last day or two I have been rocking to "Girls Girls Girls" by Motley Crue, an album that I've been listening to since I was about 10 years old. That shit still gets me and every time I hear Tommy's drums, I picture him playing upside down in concert in the video for "Wild Side." It was so nuts and STILL is; in my head I always hear Jimmy Labrozzi from elementary taking about the titty guitar and how bad ass Tommy played the drums upside down. I seriously doubt any of the fags playing music today can play their shit upside down AND suspended over an audience of about 40,000 people.
Now when I listen to it I appreciate it on a whole different level and not just the rock. I know what they're talking about when Vince sings about "raising hell at The Seventh Veil," the shit strip club on Sunset across from The Guitar Center. Or even an menage a trois. I was a horny kid but had no idea about that shit, that's for sure.
Motley Crue still rocks and they will forever be one of the bands that shaped my musical tastes. Pentagrams, make-up and scary lyrics weren't a deterrent, they were the attraction.
