Crue never really reeled me in. I had a couple of their albums, but it was mostly because they were mastered to really thump on good speakers.
The bass drum on Kickstart My Heart work out your woofers unlike much of anything you'll find.
I was much more AC-DC, Nazareth, Beastie Boys, GnR than any of the hair metal, and Crue was the prissiest of the hair bands outside Poison you could want. [Reply]

I wonder if they will include the tour when they opened for OZZY.
They had a gross-out contest in which OZZY ended up snorting ants.
Lots of sex and drugs on that tour as well- OZZY said him came in the room and Tommy was getting a BJ- he said his dick looked like a baby leg. When asked if he wanted one next he said-no way he could follow that -lol [Reply]

I was no rock star but I was a part of that hedonistic lifestyle back in the early 80’s. It was a global thing. Pre-HIV era. Cheap drugs and Qualudes. Lots of motherfuckers including me are lucky to escape that era alive. I think the Crue was just living that life a lot more XL than others for that era. [Reply]

Was at a party in this era. Salt was spilt on a table. I can do more crazy shit than you bravado happened. One guy volunteered to snort the salt up both nostrils if enough money was involved. They went around the party and collected money to see the dude snort salt. I think it was like $65 bucks or so. He snorted it and instantly regretted it. Writhing around on the ground in pain as everyone laughed at him. [Reply]

I was at a party and the guy's dad did heating/cooling for a living. Down in the garage, dudes were taking straight shots of C02 off a hose. As I came in some idiot huffed a huge hit, took four or five steps until his lungs froze up and he fell face first on the concrete floor. I mean just smashed his head right on the floor, out cold. The next guy in line decided to pass the hose. He tried to hand it to me and I just looked down at the guy on the floor and then stared at him like, "are you really that stupid".
Yes, he was. "No problem, that leaves more for me!"
He huffed two huge hits and went fetal, then into convulsions, throwing up all over himself.
The next guy in line saw this and decided it was still a great idea and then did it too. Fucking crazy idiots. Dumbest shit I ever saw. :-) [Reply]
