Gonna listen to those, but only because you know your schlock.

As a former teacher I can tell you REALLY high IQ kids are freaky as ****. When a 12 year old looks at with sincere pity because of your relative stupidity it brings your mediocrity into good focus.

I’ve given certain kids books by Zinn and Chomsky. ****ing junior high kids. Weird-o’s.

It's clearly the starting point of true glam metal and will give you much of what you expect, but is also a transitional genre album that won't work in quite the way you expect, and all the gloss and glitz hadn't yet come to the genre. Vince Neil even sounds like he's still shaking off that Cheap Trick cover band he was in before joining the Crue.

One of the best live performances in the history of music, without a doubt Metallica brought an almost unparalleled energy onstage. They were absolutely insane during the 80s. Even Lars was badass in the 80s!! If Lars told the camera to point to the crowd in this day in age, all the people would be still like corpses with their ****ing phones out not enjoying the show the way they should. I find funny how they "have" to watch the show thru their phones... the ****ing show they are in, for **** sake, enjoy the damn thing, it's even more stupid when the band states that they are releasing it on video, or just by looking at pro cameras around. And EVERY single moron is filming, all the way to the end. Why? There's like a hundred people filming besides you, there will be videos on youtube by tomorrow in better quality and probably from a better standing point too. It's even worse when they use some ****ty camera that cant take the sound and they end up with useless footage. It's like just enjoy the ****ing show for yourself in the moment. Sometimes mental pictures and memories are the best.

I found that Crue album on Spotify and have heard the first track so far. It reminds me oddly much of the Iron Maiden album, Killers. It's also got a sort of Motörhead vibe. Not bad.

I'm sure you've heard by now but "Live Wire" isn't exactly representational of the album as a whole, and I imagine was probably written later in the writing process and possibly as a bit of an experiment to see if the band wanted to go in that direction or something. It's a bit more actual speed metal than what you'd hear on Shout at the Devil, but that song and that album are clearly metal, while much of Too Fast for Love is still hovering somewhere in the general vicinity of glam rock.

If you've somehow never heard Shout at the Devil though then that's the other best glam metal album.

That's cos it's a Creedence song.

Dowdy metal? Metal that just wants to stay in, slob about in lounge pants and watch soap operas?

A few tracks more into it, I definitely liked the first track best so far, but it's still not as bad as I thought it would be. It's as if that awful 'roided-out-AOR feeling I get from other glam metal is missing. This feels more like dirtier 70's rock.
