Woe Is Me: Dangerous Toys vs Motley Crue

[aeroplane]

In the 1980's, the hair band genre was riding high. The bands and their members were full of confidence, cockiness and good times.

In the 1990's, times were a little more lean. Disillusioned, disappointed and hurt, some of these artists took their frustrations into song.

Here at the top, we have Dangerous Toys with a tune from their 1994 studio album, Pissed. This was the second single, Promise the Moon.

Here, the general theme seems to be being lied to and turned on by people.





Next is Motley Crue from their 1997 reunion album Generation Swine with a little ditty called Flush.

Here, you have Vince Neil pondering whether life is worth living or if he would just rather die. Complete with a very un-Motley Crue like music track.

Sorry for the cheesy background and vague video title, since this was the only version of the song currently up on YouTube.



MOTLEY CRUE: FLUSH




So have at it. Take a good listen to the lyrics. Who is throwing the better pity party? Motley Crue or the Dangerous Toys.

Motley Crue,,,don't know much about the other band admittedly.

Texas hair metal band with 4 studio albums and the usual mish-mash of compilations. Their first two albums sold gold in the US. I should look for a thread from them. They are more of a Faster Pussycat style.

I can always count on you to keep my threads from flopping

Motley Crue for me, I always liked Motley Crue

I was never a fan of Crue's until a few months ago, a bunch of forum friends finally convinced me to pick up their two best albums. They have made Edmonton a second home the last while, played at least 4 or 5 concerts over the last 3 years, so I guess they still have fans up here.

I've yet to see them live, but i've heard good things about their live performances. So I can only assume that they put on a good show. They come here quite a bit from what I remember. I could be thinking of a different band entirely though.

I like the first two alot .I even like Theater of Pain ( OK ) Girls Girls Girls ( better ) and Doctor Feel Good but after that most of their stuff is pretty lame for the most part IMO.
