I was finally able to burn Saints of Los Angeles on my personal computer and therefore spared my office PC from a date with a baseball bat.
The album is currently rocking my face off. Motley Crue is just as badass as they were 20 years ago — more badass maybe. It has a more current sound but it incorporates the heavy bass and pounding drums that made Girls, Girls, Girls such an amazing album.
If you are a Motley Crue fan but were disappointed (like I was) with Generation Swine and New Tattoo, grab S.O.L.A. It will make up for those last two albums.
The real question is, “Is there as much heroine and cocaine?”
No, I think the Crue has cleaned up. At least Nikki Sixx – the unltimate junkie/alcoholic rock star – has. I think he’s been sober for seven years now.
