The Crue were fucking rock stars. They were larger than life. They were gods.
I don't expect someone whose teenage years didn't occur during the 80s to grasp that. It is, to a large extant, a generational thing. To take their music out of context, and compare Girls, Girls, Girls to the latest by Negura Bunget, will obviously seem silly to anyone whose between 15 and 25 now.* That said, all the music in Norway combined will never impact me the way Shout at the Devil did when I was 15.

*Actually, if you played Motley Crue and Negura Bunget for people who are between 15 and 25 now, 99.9999 percent would prefer Crue. I was more less referring to the 8 people who still read this forum.
