Motley Crue has been making music for almost 40 years. Despite their enormous commercial success, they and most of the other hair bands from that era get written off because of their party lifestyle, spandex, and high hair. On this inaugural episode of the Prisoners of Rock and Roll, we’re going to make the argument that Motley Crue belongs in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. We'll discuss their rise to fame on the Sunset Strip, look at their skills as musicians, share some concert stories, and discuss some of their scandals.
