Pre-1984 era Whitesnake pretty underrated in the USA?

Motley Crue is where I draw the line, their early stuff is not so bad but aside from Dr. Feelgood I can't f*ck with anything 1985 onwards.

Crue Ball on the Sega Genesis is a fun pinball game, that's their greatest achievement.

Their first album was great, then they dove right into poseur mode. Any discerning 80's metal head knows this.

Que the ground breaking caesuras:

Any discerning meathead knows that started with their third album. Shout at the Devil is unassailable. I even love a lot of their poseur **** tbh.

Go back to the 80's and say that at a Slayer concert. Wear a helmet.

Every song on that album is cringe worthy poseur material.

Queen Boo · 02-04-2022, 09:42 AM

Slayer fans in the 80s had zero chill so that's hardly a good metric to go by.

If I was at a party in the 80's and put on SATD, I'd have gotten my ass kicked.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's a scientific fact.

Kickstart My Heart is one of the best hair metal songs of all time, no cap. I went to college in 2013 and this song STILL was a hit at drunk-filled parties. That's how you know it's got longevity.

Shout at the Devil is def their best album though.

Plankton · 02-04-2022, 11:54 AM

Of course frat boyz still like it. It was scientifically formulated for the dudebro demographic.

The Batlord · 02-04-2022, 11:56 AM

Are you thinking of Dr Feelgood cause Shout at the Devil goes harder than the debut.

Plankton · 02-04-2022, 12:09 PM

I think maybe you're thinking I'm thinking that but I'm not thinking that. I'm just stating scientific facts. I was there when it all went down.

Man.

Hanging out with Zoetrope and quite a few other thrash bands in the area in the 80's, they all despised anything Motley except for the first album. I don't know what else to tell ya.
