I've seen Motley Live 5 times. They've never given a **** about what was going to be popular on the radio, they just wrote about whatever they wanted. "Home Sweet Home" was the first video ever retired by MTV because it had been #1 for so long and "You're All I Need" was the first video ever banned by MTV for non-sexual content.

Yeah I'm sure Motley Crue didn't care about the radio when they were using the band as a way to make drug/booze money on Theater of Pain and Girls, Girls, Girls.
