  • Why was the article moved here from Motley Crue? Are we supposed to avoid special characters? --Jiang

This is to whoever deleted all the external links except the official site: Why did you do that? Thanks for your answer. And I have re-added the Hit Squad. I don't remember any of the others though.

Pronunciation

How do you pronunce Mötley Crüe? As stated in the article Heavy-metal_umlaut, the members of Mötley Crüe were haunted several years by mispronunciation of their band's name (... but the article doesn't state how it's pronunced correctly). Maybe someone can help out and give an IPA pronunciation for Mötley Crüe? Thanks, --Abdull 22:50, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)

It's pronounced "Motley Crew".

Heavy metal umlaut

Mötley Crüe are perhaps the best-known users of the heavy metal umlaut

Not entirely true. Motörhead also use it and they're also very famous.

It's arguable, but I think Motley Crue are more famous than motorhead.

To avoid generalizations and unnecessary arguments, the use of "qualifiers" and the avoidance of superlatives are almost always safe tools in writing feature articles. Instead of pitting Mötley Crüe and Motörhead against each other--both of which are anyway pioneers and popular in their own respective rights--why not simply write: "Motörhead and Mötley Crüe are among the best-known users of the so-called Heavy Metal umlaut"? And concerning which band is more famous--the two bands are both famous anyway in their own rights. Besides, do we not all yearn for a fightless competition to make this world a better place to rock? Elf ideas

Quaternary

In the discography section an album is listed as Quarternary. This subsequent article was made by an IP address that has made a number of slyly false contributions which I have been tracking down. I checked Chronological Crüe website and saw that there was a special EP Quaternary (different spelling) but some details in the article were contradicted. If you look at the history you can see there was even more blatent vandalish stuff which someone cleaned up already. Could someone knowledgeable about Motley Crue take a look at Quarternary (album) and make sure there isn't false info there.--BirgitteSB 00:39, July 21, 2005 (UTC)


facts

In 1999, Lee left to pursue a solo career (Due to increasing bad tension between himself and frontman Vince Neil (read Tommy Lee's autobiography Tommyland for more details); he was replaced by Randy Castillo, drummer on several Ozzy Osbourne albums.

Is this a marketing ploy or something? this is an encyclopaedia article. Why must readers be asked to read extrnal publications as part of the article. Maybe this can be given as supplementary information? (Re-phrased?)

I'll re-read that section of The Dirt, and paraphrase details so as not to infringe.

Matthew Trippe

As a huge Crüe fan from the 80s, I remember reading a story late in the decade about a guy named Matthew Trippe who claimed to be Nikki for a time. I actually forgot about it for at least a decade before tonight. I Googled him and came up with the following link: http://members.ozemail.com.au/~cruekiss/sixxpakk.htm. Anyone know if there's any truth whatsoever about Matthew replacing Frank for a period of time? I find it hard to believe he went through so much trouble if there was absolutely no connection between him and Crüe at all. I'm not saying he replaced Frank for a while ... but it's likely the truth is somewhere in the middle. Just curious.

~~He's just some stupid attention seeking idiot. He was never involved with Motley Crue.

According to Billboard's website, Home Sweet Home peaked at #37 in 1992. This is the remixed version. The original version didn't chart.

~~What does that have to do with Matthew Trippe?

why is motley considered and influential band? that term should be reserved for ground breaking artists such as bob dylan or hendrix not a bunch of jerk offs who cant write a song from any perespective other than that of a penis.

Pictures

All of the pictures on this page are of Motley Crue now and as a band that's image is defined by the 80s, wouldn't it be logical to try and find a image of them in the 80s that could be put on wikipedia and maybe replace one or two of the images? what do you all think?

How do you survive a fatal overdose?

"In 1987, Nikki had a fatal overdose of heroin and passed out."

Even if Nikki overdosed to the point where he was clinically or "legally dead" (presumably he wouldn't have actually been legally dead unless a death certificate had been issued but clearly that didn't happen), the very fact that he eventually recovered means that his overdose could not have been fatal.

I've therefore chyanged the wording to "near-fatal".

it should read "injected a fatal dose of heroin and passed out." just because you inject a fatal dose does not mean you will die, have you heard of adrenaline?
