Mötley Crüe (Shout At The Devil) 1983




Original Banned Cover



Inner Sleeve (Side A & B)





Shout At The Devil was my introduction to Mötley Crüe. A friend of mine was a huge fan and had posters, buttons and of course the audio cassette. She let me check it out and I thought this was the scariest, most dangerous band out there. Nikki Sixx just looked like one scary dude. I ended up buying my own copy on cassette and my Mom did whatever she could to persuade me to throw it away. She really thought they were devil worshipers and I would be influence in a bad way. I had to explain to her that they fell in line with KISS and that it was all for show. She relented eventually given the fact that I wasn't a bad seed after worshiping KISS.

As for this album, it holds up extremely well. This is the album I think of when any discussion about Hair Metal is brought up. The album opens up with a cool little intro called In The Beginning that segues right into Shout At The Devil. But it doesn't really kick into high gear until Looks That Kill. This song still kicks major ass. As great as this song is, the MVP goes to Too Young To Fall In Love. The riff that Mick Mars came up with is deviously cool and one that I use to play on guitar all the time. Love it.

The 2003 Remastered Edition comes with demos for Shout at the Devil, Looks That Kill, Hotter Than Hell, Too Young to Fall in Love and the unreleased I Will Survive. The album as a whole is good, not perfect. It does suffer from a couple of fillers that knocks the rating down.

Fave Songs: Shout At The Devil, Looks That Kill, Helter Skelter, Too Young To Fall In Love and Danger.

For obvious reasons, they had to drop the original cover. I mean, did they really think they could pass that off to mainstream shops and not court controversy? The version of the cover they ended up settling on works and is a classic in my eyes. But I did always think that this album had 2 back covers with the 4 boxes in the front with each member.

Disclaimer:
I in no way endorse satanic rituals, worshiping or sacrifices in any way. I turned out pretty good after all.
