Ep. 5 Motley Crue - Dr. Feelgood

For the first time in their history, Motley Crue recorded an album with all 4 members completely sober. Without those usual distractions, they produced 1989’s Dr. Feelgood, their best selling record to date. Bassist and songwriter Nikki Sixx said, “In 8 years together and with millions of albums sold, we had never recorded properly. No one had ever pushed us to the limits of our abilities before.” Dr. Feelgood capped off an era, a decade of decadance, and summed up what Motley Crue stood for. A glam-punk band that pulled no punches, not trying to be anyone else, with a focus on what was truly important, the music, and none of the other bullshit. It was their finest effort, front to back. Motley Crue was able to create something inspired, glam, sleezy, emotional, upbeat, dirty, and as Nikki would later say, an album they were finally proud of.
