"Dr. Feelgood": Motley Crue's Track By Track Guide to 1989 Classic

Nikki Sixx and Vince Neil reveal what inspired the album's songs: lesbians, near-death experiences and Heather Locklear

ANDY GREENE
Rolling Stone
May 05, 2009

This summer M�tley Cr�e.. will celebrate the 20th anniversary of Dr. Feelgoodby playing the 1989 album straight through on Cr�e Fest 2. Luckily for them,the tour doesn't begin until July 27th, because when Vince Neil and Nikki Sixx took Rolling Stone track by track through the disc, they had forgotten obscure gems like "She Goes Down" and "Slice Of Your Pie." "The next time I do an interview I promise to listen to my own music," says Sixx."When you talked to Vince he probably had no idea too. I'll probably listen to it on the way into rehearsals next month. We're going to brush off the cobwebs then." For now, here are their hazy memories of writing and recording Dr. Feelgood

Also, in just a few short weeks, Motley Crue will release a special 20th Anniversary Edition of this classic hard rock album. This expanded edition contains all 11 original tracks plus 5 bonus live tracks and never before seen photos. Click Here To Pre-Order

"Dr. Feelgood"

Vince Neil: "I knew it was a classic from the time I heard
that very first 'bomp bomp bomp bomp' -- that intro just kind of grabs you.
This song has been popular for 20 years. It was funny because I was watching
VH1 and they had the Greatest Hard Rock Songs and 'Feelgood' was 15 or
something. I was like, 'Wow, of all time.' Then you have Led Zeppelin and
Aerosmith and AC/DC and 'Feelgood.' I was like, 'Wow, that's cool.' It's our
signature song in some ways."

Nikki Sixx: "I remember it had a whole other set of lyrics.
I had sort of forgotten that and I found them in a box recently. I was like,
'oh, wow.' It had a whole different theme to it. It was called 'Dr.
Feelgood,' but a whole different thing lyrically. In the end it was inspired
by drug dealers. Is there ever just one? A good drug addict always has more
than one dealer."

"Slice of Your Pie"

Vince Neil: "That's one of those ... shit, I don't know. I
haven't heard that song in a while. I can't really comment on it. I'm going
to be playing it soon, so I better start listening to it.

Nikki Sixx: "I can't even remember. I just remember that
had a good groove to it."

"Rattlesnake Shake"

Vince Neil: "I always enjoyed that one. It's got a good
swing beat to it, and we added a horn section in. It's got a good vibe to
it. It's almost got a little blues to it."

Nikki Sixx: "I can't really remember what the song was
about. There were some really good grooves going on with the music. I think
we touched more back into the feels that were having with Shout at the
Devil, which had a real sexy Zeppelin backbeat to it."

"Kickstart My Heart"

Vince Neil: "What can you say about 'Kickstart'? It's full
blown in your face. It's about Nikki dying."

Nikki Sixx: "That was a song I had written very quickly and
had brought into rehearsal. I thought it was a throwaway, something that
would belong on Too Fast For Love. It just really took on a life of
its own and fit on the album a lot better than it should."

"Without You"

Vince Neil: "That's a great ballad. I love singing that
song. We've done that a few times at concerts. For me, it's a great song to
sing. It really lets me go and get my voice out there. I remember shooting
the video down in Corpus Christ, Texas. We had a black panther and all kinds
of crap. It was a goofy video, but it's a great song."

Nikki Sixx: "That was a very simple idea for a song, which
I had written a lyric about Heather Locklear and Tommy. They were coming
over to my place all the time. I thought to myself one day, 'Without You'
coming from Tommy's perspective, life would not be the same. It was a good
relationship at that time. It was sort of a romantic moment. I apologize for
that."

"Same Ol' Situation"

Vince Neil: "That's about chicks leaving you for chicks. It
happens. It definitely happens. It's worse than a chick leaving you for a
guy because there's nothing you can do about it."

Nikki Sixx: "That was about a guy leaving a guy for a girl.
The subject plagues men worldwide. I love it because when Elektra heard it
they were like, 'Oh, this is perfect for a single.' In a M�tley fashion, we
were like, 'Wonderful. We'll tell you later that it's about lesbians.' "

"Sticky Sweet"

Vince Neil: "Didn't we do that one already? Oh, no, that
was 'Slice of Your Pie' ... I remember the song -- Bryan Adams and Jack
Blades and Steven Tyler are on background vocals on it. We recorded this
album in Vancouver, that's where Bryan lives. It just so happens that we
were recording Feelgood next to Aerosmith in the same studio
recording Pump. Steven would come by and sing background vocals."

Nikki Sixx: "I can't really remember that song. I think it
was another big groove song. It will be cool to play live."

"She Goes Down"

Vince Neil: "There's some sex being done in the background
of that song if you listen real closely. We can't say who's doing it though,
but prostitution is legal in Vancouver."

Nikki Sixx: "I can't remember the lyric much. I think
there's a line in there like, 'She goes down on all my friends/She goes down
..." I think it's about that other age old problem of loyalty, not that we
were necessarily the most loyal of loyals ourselves -- but its always easy
when you have the microphone to point the microphone at other people. Robin
Zander is on background vocals. Cheap Trick was always one of our biggest
influences. We love that band."

"Don't Go Away Mad"

Vince Neil: "That's a great song. We've been playing it for
years. I love to play guitar and sing that song. It's kind of a feel-good
song. When that song comes on everybody wants to sing along with you."

Nikki Sixx: "I saw that line in a movie somewhere, I can't
even remember what movie. I thought, 'Great idea for a song.' A little
tongue in check. A little sarcasm there."

"Time For Change"

Vince Neil: "That's a big, big chorus song. I don't think
we've ever done it live. It's almost gospel-y in parts."

Nikki Sixx: "I can't even remember what that song is about.
At the time we had been traveling a lot and had seen a lot of things around
the planet. If I remember correctly, and I probably don't, it had something
to be with that."..

M�TLEY CR�E TO PERFORM ON SEASON FINALE OF HIT FOX TV SHOW, BONES

Thu, 23 Apr 2009 08:19:22 -0400

Los Angeles, CA (04.22.09) --- M�tley Cr�e will make a special guest appearance on the season finale of the hit FOX TV show, Bones on May 14 (8:00 p.m. ET/PT) performing their hit song "Dr. Feelgood." M�tley Cr�e is known for their large-scale arena shows, but the performance on Bones gives fans a chance to see the band in a setting reminiscent of their early days in the clubs on the Sunset Strip. Marking the 20th Anniversary of their first #1 album, this summer, M�tley Cr�e embarks on Cr�e Fest 2, performing the album Dr. Feelgood, from beginning to end each night of the tour along with hits from the rest of their catalog. Last summer, Cr�e Fest was the most successful Rock festival of the season (according to Rolling Stone) and the accompanying DVD recently debuted at #1 on Billboard. Dr. Feelgood will also be re-released as a special 20th Anniversary Expanded Edition on May 26, 2009. Currently in its fourth season, Bones has built an average audience of 11.3 million viewers, ranks among the top programs for the 2008-09 season in Adults 18-49 and all key demos and is one of the highest ranked dramatic series on Thursday evenings. The show is based on forensics and police procedurals in which each episode focuses on an FBI case file concerning the mystery behind human remains brought by FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth, played by David Boreanaz, to the forensic anthropology team lead by Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan, played by Emily Deschanel. M�tley Cr�e recently returned to the top of the charts with Saints of Los Angeles, their first new studio album with the original line-up -- Nikki Sixx, Mick Mars, Tommy Lee and Vince Neil -- in a decade and the ninth studio album in their career. Based on the band's New York Times bestseller The Dirt, the disc debuted at #1 on the Independent Album chart and was the top debut of the week on the Billboard Top 200 albums at #4. "Saints of Los Angeles," which was nominated for Best Hard Rock Performance at this year's Grammy Awards, was also noted as the #1 Rock Song of the Year in 2008 by iTunes critics.

Vince Neil Visits American Idol

Tue, 21 Apr 2009 23:20:20 -0400

New York Post reports that "American Idol" star Carrie Underwood's version of M�TLEY CR�E's bittersweet ballad "Home Sweet Home" (audio stream available below) is outselling the original -- 211,000 digital copies to 181,000, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

"American Idol" chose Underwood's rendition of the track as the anthem this season for departing contestants. Underwood's, Underwood's "Home Sweet Home" cover is outselling the original -- 211,000 digital copies to 181,000, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

It can be heard every Wednesday night, as the latest "Idol" kid is sent off the show with a video montage and Underwood's version as the soundtrack.

"I remember like it was yesterday," said M�TLEY CR�E singer Vince Neil about writing the song, "sitting in the recording studio when Tommy [Lee, M�TLEY's drummer] came up with the piano chords and I almost immediately started humming."

Meeting Underwood helped Neil cope with letting someone makeover M�TLEY's signature song.

"Knowing that she was a fan made it a lot easier," said Neil, who will be sitting in the audience of "Idol" tonight during the live broadcast for the first time.

"I've always loved this song," Underwood said in a statement. "And besides being very fitting for 'Idol', to me, the title is also very fitting with animal rescue and finding animals their own homes."

THE LAST VEGAS Debut Coming In April

Tue, 31 Mar 2009 18:40:18 -0400

With their much-buzzed-about single "I'm Bad" recently featured as the iTunes "Single of the Week" for February 17-23, THE LAST VEGAS have set April 14, 2009 as the release date for their new CD, the brazenly titled "Whatever Gets You Off" (Eleven Seven Music). The group was hand-picked by M�TLEY CR�E as part of Guitar Center's On-Stage new music program.

Earning accolades from the press on the "Saints of Los Angeles 2009 Tour" with M�TLEY CR�E, HINDER and THEORY OF A DEADMAN, THE LAST VEGAS -- cited last year by Spin as "Best Discovery" in the magazine's SXSW 2008 coverage -- recently took time out to shoot a video for "I'm Bad" in their Chicago hometown at the popular nightclub the Double Door. The track was inspired by "life, sex, and death," reveals frontman Chad Cherry. "It was a culmination of what happened to a friend as well as various life experiences that I have been through," he continues. "This song has great, sleazy riffs that have become part of our signature sound," adds guitarist Adam Arling.

Not surprisingly for THE LAST VEGAS, things got a little wild on the set, as drummer Nate Arling explains: "We shot the video at the Double Door. I got attacked by a stripper in a bathroom stall and she started making out with me. That was the start of the day..."

THE LAST VEGAS -- Adam Arling (guitar), Nate Arling (drums), Johnny Wator (guitar), Danny Smash (bass) and Chad Cherry (lead vocals) -- recorded "Whatever Gets You Off" in Los Angeles with veteran rock producers DJ Ashba (SIXX: A.M., M�TLEY CR�E), Marti Frederiksen (AEROSMITH, M�TLEY CR�E, OZZY OSBOURNE) and Nikki Sixx of M�TLEY CR�E and SIXX: A.M. after being hand-picked by M�TLEY CR�E as part of Guitar Center's On-Stage program. They were awarded a record and management deal, giving the band an unprecedented opportunity. In a recent interview with the Green Bay Press-Gazette, Nikki Sixx shared his thoughts about THE LAST VEGAS, noting: "They're honest. They're real. They're not full of (expletive). They're a real rock 'n' roll band."
