Pre-1984 era Whitesnake pretty underrated in the USA?

I like to play Fuel by Metallickers along with it as a pairing.

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.

Maybe you had weird friends cause Shout at the Devil is one of the two mullet approved Motley Crue albums.

It's a very similar line of thinking with Kill Em All and everything after. The 80's metal head thought SATD was too polished but they also started showing their glam and commercialistic side with that album, which really killed it. The ritualistic chant of the title track was like a slap in the face. Yes, we were all weird. Such is the mindset of the 80's metal head. Of course the music will resonate differently in a completely different era, so I can only speak from experience my friend.

Yep. It was the whole package that mattered and you take the crappy tune or two and try and justify it by saying stuff like "They're just showing their vulnerability" and then promptly throw up some devil horns.
