   also, i think those hair metal bands and the punk bands had more in common than you think.  their fans, maybe not.

fair enough, i just always had the impression that early (76-77) punk bands like the sex pistols were out to kill glam rock and bombastic metal like queen and zep and had serious beef with big rock stars ... i guess the crue didn't come around until a bit later though ...

It's not much of a stretch to trace the Crue's roots back to the likes of the NY Dolls. Back when the hair-metal scene was still confined to LA Clubs, I think there was still a bit of a punk connection.

well, i could be wrong, but (and i think mr chutney just kinda said this) Motley Crue wasnt MTV metal until after a few albums. (Smokin in the boys room started it i think). a lot of metal bands in the early 80s started off in small clubs and worked thier way up.  bands like Skid Row, Poison (maybe) and didnt have to because they got to ride on the coattails of the bands that made it big (such as, getting to open for the large arena tours before thier 1st album was released)
 
   i imagine Crue's beginnings were rather humble.

So in 1984, maybe they were edgy. Today, you're just dressing like your parents. Mellow out.

They were on Headbangers Ball with Rikki Rachtman rather early before MTV's Top 20 Countdown became inidated with hair bands.

I seem to remember Motley Crue being one of the big bands among the loser crowd at my high school.
 
 The same loser crowd who referred to the few people who were punkers or new wavers as "faggots."

Never thought hair-metal would get the serious music-history treatment. I guess a couple of critics take Andrew WK seriously, and all hell breaks loose.  
 
 Seriously, I was 14 in 1984. I liked their first two discs plenty--anything that made mom and dad upset was okay by me, MTV or no. Still, the Crue's influence extends to Poison and no further.
 
 Anyway, Motley Crue's videos from their second disc (Shout at the Devil) were ALL in heavy rotation on MTV at the time. Can't say the same about Slayer, Metallica, Anthrax, Megadeth... hence the Crue were "MTV-metal."

but wasnt there a time when MTV wasnt ALL watered down crappy corporate music? being on MTV in the early 80s meant you were a good band! (generally, right?)

Exactly the way I remember it. I liked those first coupla discs, but also had Cramps, DK, Exploited, Husker Du in my album collection. Strange days.
