He can sound cheesy sure, but he sounds amazing on Too Fast for Love. His voice still has a sleezy quality to it, but the Cheap Trick influence that's still there gives his voice an almost innocent quality at the same time. And whoever said that the production was weak, it is. And it makes it great. The weakish production combined with Vince's voice just give it this youthful, amatuerish energy that just gives me lady wood.

He was, and they got a 'proper' singer.

The album stiffed.

I <3 the Crue, dunno how anyone can't dig his voice. What, you want some Bruce Dickenson type up there? Wouldn't work.

I'm assuming you voted for The Crue then and that takes the vote to a 4-4 tie. My vote goes to The Crue, Too Fast is a fantastic album. Vince Neil's vocals were everything that was right with that album and SATD.

5-4 Motley Crue

I agree that sleazy definitely suited the band. A lot less cheesy it might of worked. If Neil's voice wasn't so weak and worked with a dirtier rage, it still would of pulled off a young angsty voice. I never really picked up on any innocent touch. Amateurish yes, still would of faired better without clutter of cheesiness. An innocent touch would have made them a little more intriguing, especially when they were anything but an innocent band. But because of those weak qualities compared to the rest of the production it fails to resonate, if it were even there. Something in his voice just sounded really off.

Too Fast For Love, as I've given praise to before, is the closest they've come, but still isn't something I would sprint to listen to. You could hear the potential of excellence in their intro album, but unfortunately they never risen after that.

Yet he came back and they were still stiffed. :P

Of course I knew that, I just forgot to plug my brain in when I typed the question.

I'm not sure that his post amounts to a vote for Too Fast for Love over Stay Hungry. I'll argue that the vote stands at 4 to 4. Unless the Bunny explains, I suppose Unknown Soldier should make the call.

okay, deliberated long enough

much as I love that Twisted Sister, I think Too Fast for Love is one of the best the genre has to offer, especially the Japanese remaster

Crue - 5
Sister - 4

(whilst Hale's vote gets sorted out)

I don't know if I can take all the exclamation marks in the title much longer. Just warning you guys.

This new atheist Conan is so full of spiritual unrest. Slow down, my freshly heathen friend, and take your newfound freedom in stride.
These punctuations can no longer hurt you. They are not the spiritual prison bars that linger between you and your fading fear of Christian dogma. Embrace the many exclamation points and be free.
