MÖTLEY CRÜE has released a new video for the song "Take Me To The Top", which initially appeared on the band's debut album, "Too Fast For Love". Now, after the tremendous success of CRÜE's Netflix biopic "The Dirt", an official music video for the track has been made available.

MÖTLEY CRÜE experienced a bump on multiple platforms, including downloads, streams and book sales, following the release of "The Dirt".
