Audiobiography: The Mötley Crüe Mini-Doc [EXPLICIT]

Someone like Mick, who used to play guitar with Marshall boxes, plugged his guitar into a synthesizer and said what the hell is that? Know, . And he starts to go crazy. We did a lot of drum and bass stuff. In "Glitter" you hear Polyfusion synths, which are huge synths. They look like a switchboard, a telephone switchboard, with millions of cables and buttons. We started experimenting a little more with crazy technology. VINCE NEIL: It's funny because we reworked it. Not many people know it, but we have reworked it in Spanish. I remember at the time he was married and living in Beverly Hills.

My wife came home and I was there with this beautiful Latin girl. And the woman said, what's going on here? I told her that she was my Spanish teacher. It was really good: the Spanish version was never published. But it turned out to be really good. I think it was a great idea. But I don't know what happened to that. I would love to hear the Spanish version again. TOMMY LEE: When you hear something you've done, you say, it was good then and it's pretty good now. But with some songs like this, you think it's still really good.

Even after playing those songs a million times, some are still good. NIKKI SIXX: I think we did very well. I think a lot of people didn't appreciate that album until many years later. I know for sure. When my friends came up to me, they told me that I had just heard "Generation Swine" and that that record and "Too Fast for Love" are my two favorite albums. But it took some time. Bands go all the time. Do not stop. Even artists like Neil Young or Billy Joel. They are out there somewhere. On tour. They write music. And suddenly everyone rediscovers them.

And the artist says, but we never left. The "Saints of Los Angeles" album was a kind of reintroduction to the rest of the world, an introduction to a band that has been playing for over 20 years. MICK MARS: "Saints of Los Angeles" was and is something completely different. We've had, gosh, 10 years of ups and downs and ins and outs and everything else that goes into making that record. So it's almost like, I don't want to say a new band because we still sound like Mö

tley

on that album. But it was almost like we were a new band.

If that makes any sense. Probably not. But that's because I'm kind of crazy, so it's okay. VINCE NEIL: It's cool when you look around and see a 12-year-old kid in a Shout t-shirt singing the lyrics to "Shout at the Devil" and all those songs that were definitely written before he was born. TOMMY LEE: I love looking out into the audience and seeing people my age who have been our fans since the beginning and seeing their kids. It's crazy when you see 7 year olds on their parents' shoulders. Always sorprise me. MICK MARS: And all our older fans appreciate it.

They really like it. They're like the people I remember from the '80s. Especially that guy Bob. He has no teeth, he is all dirty. VINCE NEIL: And you're seeing this whole new group of fans: high school kids, a new generation of fans. It's really cool, but the only way to move forward is if you have to be intergenerational. NIKKI SIXX: You keep going back in time. You realize that what you did when you were young was honest and real. And you will always come back and reconnect with it. MICK MARS: We made the "SOLA" album with Pro Tools.

We send hard drives to everyone. Look, what can be done about it? What do you think? What do you think of this victory? Yes, she's great. Ok I'll do it. And things like that. Instead of sitting there and saying, "Okay, let's try a chorus here instead of there." And instead of having to re-record the song, we cut the piece and moved it. It was so fucking easy. VINCE NEIL: When I listen to that album, it's almost like watching a movie because it starts with "Face Down In The Dirt" and ends with "Coming Out Swinging." That album is pretty much the story of our life.

NIKKI SIXX: The album is like the soundtrack for a movie that will be shot soon. We had business partners who were not in contact with us, so they did not agree with us very much. And now we have to write another soundtrack for the movie. We can call it "Saints of the Angels Two." Or get rid of the record label. SPEAKER: Could you summarize your life story in one sentence? VINCE NEIL: Girls equal trouble.
