Tom Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Folks,I finally got a chance to hear Crue's version of Tonight. I dled it from Itunes to my Pod. Hmm...you know this reminds me of Plane Jane's rendition of GATW. They both have that "hair band" 80's sound. Not too bad actually. I enjoy hearning other bands interpretations of the 'Berries music.Anyone know of other cover versions of 'Berries tunes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeanTylerVO Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Just got a listen to Motley Crue's version of "TONIGHT"...Well.....VERY interesting and..VERY different take on it from the Crue boys.......lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Benfer Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 I never cared for Motley's version. I just don't think the metal fits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted July 12, 2004 Author Share Posted July 12, 2004 I believe that they recorded this back in the 80's at the start of their career...but never released it until 2003. Of course it lacks the distinctive elements of a 'Berries song...Eric voice and Wally's guitar, The guitar solo is particularly weak...but again overall I like to hear alternative versions of the boys songs.Frankly I've never been a Crue fan....but I gotta admit the lead singer (Vince Neil?) has a very distinctive vocal style. Now that I have the greatest invention in the history of mankind (Ipod ...I want to fill it up with new material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poor4Life Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 I never understood the appeal of Motley Crue at all. I've seen better bands that had more talent that toiled for years and got nowhere. I've always looked at them as an average bar band that were in the right place at the right time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill H. Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 Mick Mars is a competent axegrinder, but Vince Neil is a pretty weak singer, almost like a teenybopper.....maybe he should have been in a band named the "Raspberries", or maybe the "Dingleberries." Not a good version IMO; heck my old band did a better version of this.I'm surprised the rest of the band took him in, but then Mick is/was the only one worth a contract IMO.

marvin Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 Not being a fan of the group or knowing a heck a lot about them, I'd guess Neil was in the group for his appeal / showmanship more than anything else.Marvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
