Mötley Crüe - Greatest Video Hits Actor: Motley Crue Number of Items: 1 Format: Color, Dolby Audience Rating: Unrated Studio: Universal Music & VI Product Group: DVD Release Date: 2003-11-11 Buy from Amazon

From Amazon.com Once upon a time, you couldn't turn on MTV without seeing Motley Crue videos in heavy rotation. For those still-loyal fans, this compilation brings back the good old days. From the band's 1982 debut, Too Fast for Love, to 2000's New Tattoo, these 21 videos hit on every phase of the Crue's career: they began as a Kiss wannabe, became huge arena-rockers, then stumbled through new singers and drummers before returning to the original lineup. No real fan will go wrong with this hit list, including much time-capsule material: "Girls Girls Girls," "Dr. Feelgood," and "Home Sweet Home" contain big hair, makeup, tight pants--and that's just the band! Bonuses include six "alternate" videos, including the "X-rated" version of "Girls," showing barely more than Janet Jackson at the Super Bowl; 50 minutes of bassist Nikki Sixx and drummer Tommy Lee discussing making the clips; and Easter eggs with more hidden videos. The sound, nominally mixed in 5.1 Dolby Surround, is actually quite tame for such hard-hitting music. --Kevin Filipski

Customer Reviews: Total numer of reviews: 42 Average rating: 4.5 "Awesome" Awesome videos and awesome music. Well - I am a great fan, but this is very good. Sadly, I could only view it on my computer. It didn't work with my DVD-player/TV. Maybe I will have to buy new equpiment... "Good Stuff Here!" Went to an 2005 Crue concert, wasn't expecting much, and they were fantastic. One of the better concerts I've seen in years. So I picked up this DVD for $16. Great stuff here, particularly the Sixx-Lee interview bonus discussing each of the videos, and good insider stuff. The sound is kind of flaky on this DVD. Sometimes too loud, others not loud enough, but just played with the remote volume button, and it wasn't a bigging, specially for just $16 for all these great videos. "Just A Warning!!" If you don't buy this item from Amazon make sure that it's NOT the "Sanitized" version. I bought the "Sanitized" version thinking that the label on the front was some kind of a joke not realizing all of the videos and footage I was missing. Missing from the "Sanitized" version are:Videos-"You're All I Need""Primal Scream""Anarchy In The UK""Afraid""Misunderstood""Enslaved""Hooligan's Holiday""Hell On High Heels"Also missing is the interview with Tommy Lee & Nikki Sixx along with all of the Alternate Videos. I'm definitely going to have to buy an unedited copy. I feel that I really got screwed with my copy. "It ROCKS!!" If you are a fan of the Crue, you will love this DVD. It has a lot of extras too. The videos take you way back and then up to present. It was great trip down memory lane, and I rocked out the whole time. "The best part about waking up early..........." Is to go to a mall and pick up a DVD. I purchased this DVD today at a mall close to where I live, and I was blown away by it. Now that I have seen this, I have more respect for the guys in Motley Crue. Here are my thoughts,comments, and opinions for every video on here: "Kickstart My Heart"- Now this video is cool. You get to see clips of Motley Crue performing at a concert, going sky diving, and clips of race cars crashing- a nice touch for this video and this DVD. "Same Ol' Situation"- I don't like this video as much as I like the "Kickstart My Heart" video, but this video is pretty good. "Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)"- I have always liked songs like this. This is one of those songs that starts out as a really pretty ballad, and then it gets to the "I Don't Care About You Anymore" part of the song. The video is fun to watch, it flows along with the song. "Without You"- A great love song and a great video for a ballad. Enough said. "Wild Side"- The video and this song are both very cool and tough, and since this video is live, you get to see Tommy Lee do something VERY cool with his drum set during this video- wait till you see what that is. "Girls, Girls, Girls"- We've all heard this song and seen this video- you get to see Vince Neil, Tommy Lee, Mick Mars, and Nikki Sixx riding their bicycles on the streets of L.A. and of course what else you would expect- there are a lot of cute girls in this video. Little Unknown Fact: During the one part of the video where Tommy Lee whisles for those girls and they turn around but do not exactly acknowledge him, the girl in the pink dress is a twenty year old Pamela Anderson, and that is how Tommy and Pamela met each other. "Dr. Feelgood"- This video starts off in an Egyptian Desert (you just hear the bass work at that part) and then during half of the video you will see the band perform, and the other half is like a movie based off of the song. At one part of this video you actually get to see/hear Mick Mars(I'm sorry for my previous error, I just caught it) talk. "Looks That Kill"- One of Motley Crue's first music videos, and a really cool one also. One thing that is so cool about it is that the girl in the video and the guys in Motley Crue all have the same kind of makeup on. "Live Wire"- There isn't as much to this video as there is on some of the other videos on here, but both the video and the song are fun to jam along to. "You're All I Need"- I'm usually not the biggest fan of shooting a music video for a ballad and then making the video into kind of an action/drama film, but I have made an exception for this video. This video is very good,and it is a little bit similiar to Velvet Revolver's music video for "Fall To Pieces". "Too Young To Fall In Love"- This video is a little bit lame, but it also happens to be funny and cool. Not one of my favorite Crue videos, but I'm still glad that it ended up on here. "Primal Scream"- One of my favorite videos on here. Again, the video works well for the song, you see a boy in the approximate age range of 17-21 walking away and looking like he is ready for independence. There are also a few wild animals in this video, and the guys in Motley Crue come on in this video as very cool and tough- especially Vince and Tommy. "Anarchy In The U.K."- What Motley Crue did with this video is the exact same thing that Slaughter did with their video for "Out For Love"- it plays the studio version of the song and shows the guys in Motley Crue onstage, backstage, and sometimes neither onstage or backstage. This song was originally a Sex Pistols tune, and Motley Crue did a good job covering it. "Afraid"- This video is a little but hyper, and it's not bad, but it's not outstanding either. Average, on a scale of 1 to 10 I rank it as a 5.99. "Smoke The Sky"- The first video on here with John Corabi, who joined Motley Crue after Vince Neil got fired from the band. With this video, Motely Crue managed to bring the lyrics of the song to life: I won't give away too much about it, but it shows the guys in Motley Crue performing in pitch black. Very well done. "Misunderstood"- This song is about an old man, an old woman, and a family (a father, a mother, and a son) going through hard times in their lives. I didn't like this track as much as I liked some of the other songs on Motley Crue's self-titled album with John Corabi, but this is a good song/video, and the end of it is a bit touching. And we thought that the guys in Motley Crue didn't have hearts. "Enslaved"- Not one of the best videos on the whole DVD, but this video is enjoyable to watch. "Smokin' In The Boys Room"- A bit of a rip off of Van Halen's "Hot For Teacher" video, but this video is hilarious and it is even better than the song itself. "Hooligan's Holiday"- One of the best Motley Crue songs with John Corabi, one of the best songs out of all of Motley Crue's songs, and one of the best videos on the whole DVD. "Hell On High Heels"- I couldn't wait until I would finally get to comment on this video, and now I finally can: This video (in my opinion) is the best video on the whole DVD, and it is the best video out of all of Motley Crue's videos. It is cartoon animated, you get to see cartoon figures of the guys in Motley Crue, and I shouldn't give away too much of this video, but since this song/video/and the album that this song first appeared on ("New Tattoo") all first saw the light of day in 2000, it had good timing: One part of this video goes along with one verse in this song, and they used that one part as a whole joke about the whole Bill Clinton/Monica Lewinsky scandle and used it to make fun of Al Gore (the uncensored version, which is also to be found on this DVD, pokes fun at George W. Bush). I wonder what Gore, Bush, Bill Clinton, and John Kerry would think of this video. "Home Sweet Home"- I prefer the '91 remix for this song/video over the original video for this song (both are to be found here, I am commenting on the original one)but if you liked the song "Home Sweet Home", then you will probably love this video. It was Tommy Lee who played piano on this song, and he did a great job at it. On this DVD there are also six bonus videos, a new intrview with Nikki Sixx and Tommy Lee, a personal playlist, the discography of Motley Crue, and weblinks for the Crue as well. I like DVDS with music videos, and since I am such a huge Crue fan and this DVD has over twenty of their music videos, along with bonus features (which you usually don't find on a DVD with music videos) this DVD is definitely, by all means, a winner. Thank you for reading my review of this and don't forget to get a copy of this DVD.
