Description

Despite not having had a hit since the late 90s, Motley Crue remained impossible to ignore. Tommy Lee’s high-profile romances, court dates, and television appearances — he got his own reality show — kept the group theoretically active well past their creative due date, and Vince Neil appeared on VH1’s Surreal Life, where he shed tears with MC Hammer and endured a celebrity ‘makeover’ complete with a face-lift, while the rest of the band chronicled their decadent heydays in the best-selling tell-all book The Dirt. Red, White And Crue is a far better companion to that book than 2003’s exhaustive two-installment, eight-disc retrospective, Music to Crash Your Car To. This album also features three new cuts (only one, the blistering ‘Sick Love Song’, manages to recapture the group’s original intensity). At their best, the Crue were the audio equivalent of sex, drugs, and rock n roll. ‘Live Wire’, ‘Looks That Kill’, ‘Kickstart My Heart’ and even the monstrous ‘Walk This Way’ rip-off ‘Dr. Feelgood’ showed a group that not only loved the scene but lived it like Vikings storming a sleepy village. When they were hot they were smouldering, Red, White And Crue serves as a crystal-clear window into a blurry world that only the Crue could have constructed.
