Motley Crue - Shout at the Devil

Since I host the Shark's 80's Rock @ 8, I figured I would give an 80's record pick that you should check out, pull out of your collection and give it a listen, or hell, even dust off your vinyl copy and give it a spin. I'll do this a couple times a week.

Lets kick it off and hang with the Crue and Shout at the Devil from 1984. It was the Motley's second release and really started the train rolling for Motley's huge success for the rest of the 80's. Gems like the title track, Too Young to Fall in Love, and Looks That Kill all received lots of airplay and the latter two getting lots of video play on MTV. But it was the some of the other tracks that helped make this record a classic. Songs like Red Hot, 10 Seconds to Love, and their cover of the Beatles classic Helter Skelter. All three still pop up in Motley's live show from time to time. Their performance at the US Festival in '84 opened up people's eyes to the Crue and the rest is history. To date, Shout at the Devil has sold 4 million copies and is a true 80's classic.

It was re-released a few years ago, remastered and with bonus tracks. CrueFest '09 kicks off on July 19th at the Susquehanna Bank Center in Camden. Listen to 103.7 the Shark to win your free tickets.
