Motley Crue - Don't go away Mad video

Post by Z28 »

Ok who's the guy asking for Tommy's autograph? Is he on the forum?
I love this video! I love the fact that they show a story as Vince living on a big industrial warehouse, grabs his Halliburton case, flies away and gets a hot rod
and straight into rehearsal, how cool is that?

I don't know, but Tommy and Nikki having the sides of their heads shaved was a HUGE deal at the time.

Why didn't Mick shave the sides of his head?

Why is Nikki walking around with his Bass in a case? Maybe that's where they store the Memorex tapes and it was his turn to guard them?

I beg to differ.

The hot rod is a piece of shit.

Vince is dressed like a slob.

$3 Fruit of the Loom black tank top paired with cheap jeans.

The only highlight of that video is when Vince gives the bum on the street a dollar bill than pets his mangy dog on the head.

A superior video from that era is without a doubt Unskinny Bop.

All band members arrive in style.

Bret on a cool Harley Davidson, Bob in a Corvette and Rikki in a vehicle comparable to Vince's but better.

C.C makes his entrance dressed in a suit and fedora with two hot babes carrying his gear.

This video represents that time period by far.

No doubt about it, but the crue guys had that edgy dirty rocker aura to them and too polished would fall into pop territory

no, I vividly remember seeing him with that hairstyle when I saw Metallica on the "Justice" tour.

I remember it being pretty amusing that when they fired Vince, the story they gave was almost identical to the "Don't Go Away Mad" video.

Tommy and Nikki first being the guys in metal edge with the huge sleeve tattoos, then being the guys in the middle scene on the strip with the shaved sides. Obviously Tracii Guns aped that shit thereafter. Every time I see the video and hear this song it signals the end of Mötley Crüe as we knew it.

More likely that’s where he kept all the sandwiches for the kids out on the streets.

PANTERA shaved Tommy's Head bald at one point (source PANTERA home video). Could explain the delay in Motley Crue 1994 taking so long for the hair to grow back to curtain hairstyle lenght.

I always found this video a little bit odd because Motley Crue was one of the few bands of the era where the drummer and bass player were far more popular than the lead singer and the guitar player. It's cliche to have the lead singer as "the leader of the band," but I don't think anyone believed that in the case of Motley.
