The Runaways came after Loverboy?
Motley sounded like absolute shiite and piss at the US Festival. They made Van Halen look and sound like total pros instead of the amateur hour VH turned in that night, It’s amazing Motley ever made it. That gig should’ve killed their career before it ever started. Doc and Doug really were miracle workers with those Ronald McDonald, rodeo clowns.
How the Scorpions never had Crue’s kind of sales in the 80s, especially with albums like Lovedrive, Blackout, LAFS, Savage Amusement and Crazy World is mind blowing. A much, much better band than Motley and many of the hair metal clown show brethren. Motley Crue are like Poison by comparison.
Klaus Meine wasn't exactly dropping panties and it's not like Motley didn't have 2 great records (TFFL, SATD) and then a string of great huge hit singles (HSH,GGG,DF)
Scorpions had one huge rock hit and then a crossover ballad.
Motley had the look (shit they defined it) while Scorpions did not and in the 1980s video Hollywood glam music era is it really surprising that a bunch of cool looking to the guys and attractive to the women California dudes with songs about the devil, girls, drugs, and fucking would completely bury a bunch of ugly dudes from Germany with just one song about rockin like a hurricane and a soft as shit ballad written about Perestroika?
The Scorpions were “ugly.” Wtf, did you want to date them?
By “the look” you mean looking like a bunch of trannies? You are correct. Motley looked like a bunch of chicks with dicks while the Scorpions looked like a bunch of badasses who sounded just like the records instead of amateur hour at the high school auditorium.
For being so “ugly” chicks loved the Scorpions in the 80s.
You really are a style over substance guy and your ignorance is mind numbing. Scorpions had a break through with 1982’s Blackout. It had the killer title track, Can’t Live Without You, You Give Me All I Need, and No One Like You. All concert staples with NOLY being their breakout single, and that album cover. Better and way cooler than any Crue album cover.
On LAFS, you had Big City Nights, I’m Leaving You, Bad Boys Running Wild, and Coming Home.
That’s leaving out classic albums like Lovedrive, Animal Magnetism, Savage Amusement and Crazy World. The band was electric and total pros.
I was a fan of Motley but they really were amateur hour.
