As stated above, their career spans almost four decades, for the release of their first album Too Fast for Love was in 1981, making them eligible for induction in 2006 they had tremendous influence on rock music of the 80s and 90s and paved the way for bands such as Guns N Roses, Ratt, Poison, Warrant and many others to follow they pretty much created the hair metal genre and their musical and style influence on other bands of that era cannot be denied. Their careers, reach and influence have spanned almost four decades, and with the release of The Dirt, their legacy will be shared with, and researched by, a new generation.Īccording to your website, artists become eligible for induction 25 years after the release of their first record must have influence and significant contributions to the development and perpetuation of rock and roll demonstrate musical excellence have influence on other performers or genres length and depth of career and catalog stylistic innovations or superior technique and skills.” Like it or not, Mötley Crüe embodies most, if not all, of these attributes. However, while battling demons, addictions, tragedy, bar patrons, cops, bikers, groupies and health issues, they churned out hit after hit, toured endlessly, and were one of the original pioneers of hair metal, paving the way for many bands to follow. Survivors of tremendous tragedy, traumatic childhoods, deep-rooted insecurities, heart-breaking addictions and debilitating disease. In the movie, they describe themselves as a runaway, an old man, a teen drummer and a cover-band singer, however I see them as survivors.
#TIME FOR CHANGE AS PERFORMED BY MOTLEY CRUE FULL#
I am sure when people think of Mötley Crüe, perseverance might not be one of the words that come to mind, however their lives were full of obstacles. Of course, I would be lying if I said there were parts of the book that didn’t gross me out, make me angry or break my heart, but what really grabbed me was the one theme that seemed prevalent to me throughout the book and movie: perseverance. I expected to be entertained, but what I wasn’t expecting was for the book to speak to me the way it did. I didn’t hesitate and downloaded it on my Kindle that evening. A friend suggested I read The Dirt after watching the movie. After watching the movie, my love for the Crüe was reignited. That is, until the release of The Dirt movie. However, over the years, new music came into play and thus my love for the Crüe waned while other music took over. That album was Girls, Girls, Girls, and it introduced me to the world of rock and roll and changed my taste and perception of music.
I have been a Motley Crüe fan for more than 30 years, having bought my first Crüe album while in middle school with my allowance.
I am doing this for many reasons that I will lay out in this letter, so before you dust this off with a “when hell freezes over” response, I hope you will take the time to read my letter and consider them for this prestigious honor. I am writing you today to ask you to consider Mötley Crüe as an inductee into 2021’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I hope this letter finds you and yours surrounded by health, happiness and rock and roll. To Jon Landau and the Nominating Committee for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame:
bring THE CRÜE 'home sweet home' and let's take Los Angeles by storm again.įorget Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! Mötley Crüe's next stage should be on the 50-yard line at Super Bowl 56 in their hometown where it all began, Los Angeles. It's about time to shake up the Super Bowl and rock the field for real!Īll of us, this Collective voice, known as Crüeheads, are shouting once more, not at the Devil, but to the powers-that-be. He was a part of our youth and the music we appreciated, listened to and loved growing up. This puts their relevance in today's musical world and pop culture onto a whole new stage.Īs a 37-year fan, I'm among a large group of people who appreciated when the likes of Prince took the stage at the Bowl. Mötley as now been introduced and become beloved by a whole new generation of fans. Already postponed, an elaborate stadium tour in the summer of 2021, now to celebrate their 40th, is still questionable due to Covid. As of today, Mötley Crüe has not only put out their biopic, "The Dirt",which obviously fired up all of their longtime fans but have also now celebrated 40 years as a band.
