ENCARTE: MÖTLEY CRÜE

Joel McIver, prolífico escritor/biógrafo roqueiro, assina o release em “Greate$t Hit$” (2003):

“It’s simple. There is no other banda like Mötley Crüe.

If you’ve ever grabbed a tennis racket and played a bedroom riff, or if you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to cruise down Sunset Strip just as the bars were opening, then the original soundtrack to those particular fantasies can be found here. Switch on, sit back and feel the years fall away.

After seven huge-selling albums (Too Fast For Love, Shout At the Devil, Theatre Of Pain, Girls Girls Girls, Dr. Feelgood, Mötley Crüe and Generation Swine), Mötley Crüe decided to release a greatest-hits package in 1998. A glittering row of Crüe moments, the album was a trawl through the fastest, most unpredictable career ride of all: savour the death chic of ‘Kickstart My Heart’, written by bassist Nikki Sixx after a heroin overdos left him clinically dead: the epic layers of ‘Home Sweet Home’: the down’n’dirty grind of ‘Smokin’ In the Boys Room’: and the classic old-school anthem of ‘Too Fast For Love’.

And just for the fans, Mötley added two new songs, ‘Bitter Pill’ and ‘Enslaved’. The latter is an aspect of Crüe you don’t normally see: drummer Tommy Lee’s thoughtful side (he wrote the song after a jail stretch for his hole in yet another fight with his wife, Pamela Anderson Lee).

Like I said, threre is no other band like Mötley Crüe. Just accept it“.
