Which Song Rocked Harder : Two from the Crue!

Two older ones from the Crue to be more precise. We've had the discussions about what album got you into metal, and for me it was Shout At The Devil. My older brother had the tape, and it introduced me big time into the world of the power chord. The makeup, the drinking, the drugs, the bad assedness----Motley Crue was certainl a whole new world of music for me. I loved it. I was hooked, and I'm still hooked. Motley isn't my favorite metal band, and this isn't my favorite album, but I always point to it as the "you started here" point of my metal love. We'll take Looks That Kill from Shout At The Devil for contestant numero uno. Contestant number two will come from Too Fast For Love, and we'll go with Live Wire. TFFL is an overlooked album in our metal....we'll have to give it a closer look in the weeks ahead. So..there you go. Two from early Motley Crue. Show your age Angels and remember which one of these songs rocked harder.....

I LOVED that album when it came out, so I am gonna vote for Looks That Kill strictly based on the fact that it was that song that made me go "whoah". I probably like Too Fast For Love better though; ▶ Reply to This

If you listen to that song and then Young Girls by Dokken, the riffs sound similar.; ▶ Reply to This

Exactly.

Beautifully put.

I think this may be their best song ever.
