...M??tley Crüe is living proof of how, as fellow L.A.-based pop rockers The Buggles said so famously, “video killed the radio star.” MTV’s mass distribution of the hard rock quintet’s trashy and over-sexed videos in the mid-80s gave M??tley Crüe a distinguishable face in a genre saturated in repetitive riffs, hair spray and waterproof mascara: Tommy Lee’s gigantic penis...
...M??tley Crüe, even in its prime, was glam-rock without the glamour of KISS, aspiring punks without any of Sid Vicious’s anarchic roar, and pop artists lacking the likeability of Aerosmith or Duran Duran.
