Los Angeles, United States (1981 – present)

Mötley Crüe is a band formed in 1981 in Los Angeles, California by bassist Nikki Sixx and drummer Tommy Lee. They soon found guitarist Mick Mars through a classified ad that stated simply: “Loud, rude, aggressive guitarist available.” Singer Vince Neil, whom Tommy had known in high school, joined last. They went on to become one of the the most infamous bands of the .

In late 1981, they released their first album, Too Fast For Love, on their own Leathür Records. It sold over 20,000 copies, which caught the attention of Elektra Records. Elektra signed the band and released their second album, Shout At The Devil, in 1983. Elektra also remixed and re-released Too Fast For Love, chopping off the intro to the title track and dropping Stick To Your Guns altogether. They released Theatre Of Pain in 1985, Girls, Girls, Girls in 1987, and Dr. Feelgood in 1989, embarking on sold out tours for each record. In 1991 they released Decade Of Decadence, a “best of” compilation with a few new tracks, to commemorate 10 years together.

In February 1992, Vince Neil left the band or was fired, depending on which account is to be believed, to be replaced by John Corabi (of The Scream). They released the self-titled Mötley Crüe with Corabi in 1994, which didn’t sell well despite being one of their better recorded and produced albums.
