Mötley Crüe’s success with Shout At The Devil and Theatre Of Pain led to a reissue of their debut album Too Fast For Love. It started to show up in records stores. So we did what we had to do as Mötley Crüe fans. We bough it.
I can’t say that I didn”t like it. It was rough and raw had that unpolished and low budget sound. Many of my Mötley Crüe friends like it because of that. I didn’t. Yeah it was early Mötley Crüe and there was a dangerous element to it but I had been listening to a lot of refined metal. I had become accustomed to the style and sound of Randy Rhoades, Dave Murray, Adrian Smith, Vivian Campbell, even later Mick Mars and this seemed like a step backwards in a garage-ish sort way.
Don’t get me wrong, there are some really good songs here. It just sounds kind of muddy. Maybe it is Vince Neil’s vocal parts. I can’t quite put my finger on it. All I can say is that Too Fast For Love was not my favorite Crüe musically.
Now attitude is another story. In The Roach Days I felt that I was Too Fast For Love. I had been through a pair of relationships that ended in heartbreak and had decided that I simply was not cut out for long term steady relationships. I guess my desire to find that one special woman got left behind The Wall.
