Customer Reviews: Total numer of reviews: 42 Average rating: 4.5 "This Is How A Music Video Collection Should Be Done" MOTLEY CRUE's Greatest Video Hits is a prime example of how a music video collection is done. For one all the videos are on here [even the uncensored ones], all of the videos on this disc are digitally remastered in 5.1 sound. I also enjoyed the interview with Nikki Sixx and Tommy Lee, I think more music video collections should include a retrosepect interview or documentary on either the band or them. I really enjoy collecting DVDs, I espically enjoy collecting music video collections. I have been a Motley Crue fan for a long time and besides there music I love there videos too and I'm glad it was released on a new format and all together. I'm dissapointed that the haven't released there 1983 US festival performance, I have seen bits and pieces of there performance there and it is fantastic and it is [to me] DVD worthy. This DVD is excellent and I recommend it to any Motley Crue fan or DVD collector. "Don't Sleep on This!" This is without a doubt one of the top music DVDs I own. It has exactly what you want, every Crue music video made (some are hidden) and on top of that it's got alternate versions along with a Tommy Lee and Nikki Sixx interview. Great thing about the Crue's videos is they took chances and were creative which is why most of these videos you can watch over and over again unlike the standard basic format music video. Sometimes the results were cheesy or over the top, but hey, that's a major part of what the Crue is all about, am I right? Just look at "Smokin' In The Boys Room"...by far one of the cheesiest music videos ever made, but it sure is fun to watch and laugh. Bottom line is the result of these videos is that they're almost always interesting to watch. This is the only DVD where you're gonna get all these videos. As for the alternate videos, I will say this...the "X-Rated Version" of "Girls, Girls, Girls" is very misleading; it's far from X-Rated and just shows a few boobies here and there...don't expect much. The only reason though that I give this a four star rather than a five star rating is that the audio is very uneven at times and when it comes to the second audio option, for some reason it sounds more like demo versions of the songs; I don't know WHO the hell was in charge of remastering on that one. Overall though, this is very very worth it. Crue fans, you gotta pick it up. "Long Live The Crue" I saw Motley Crue on the Dr. Feelgood tour back in '89, I think. That was the tour where Tommy Lee did his drum solo across the arena ceiling. I loved the whole show. As the years went on, I saw every video that Motley Crue ever made. At some point, I was hoping they would come out with a longform video compiling all their music videos. Good things come to those who wait! I bought "Greatest Video Hits" last year and I highly recommend it. It's loaded with extras, so you get your money's worth. If you only ever own one Motley Crue dvd, you should get this one! "Props to da Crue" When 'Shout at the Devil' was released way back when I became an instant fan. I was mowing the lawn and had a radio headset on tuned into 95ynf (Tampa Bay's home of Rock n Roll). Anyway as I mowed 'Looks that Kill' came on and I was hooked. I bought the album that week and later picked up 'Too Fast for Love'. The Crue helped me get through my teenage years and I still crank them regularly. So what can be said about this video package? It rocks. You get all of the Crue's phases. The Mad Max Shout at the Devil era, The flaming 'Theatre of Pain' era, the biker gang 'Girls' era, you know now that you think of it, everytime the Crue had a new album, they had a different era. They never even kept the same logo from one album to another. Whatever happened to the skull with the handcuffs going through the eyes? They dropped that after the 'Too fast for Love' era I guess. Bands best videos IMO are 'Looks that Kill' and of course the 'Girls, Girls, Girls' stripclub. For old and new fans alike theis DVD rocks. It will bring back great memories for some, and introduce a great band to the kids who have to put up with today's garbage. "What a band! What a great DVD!" I purchased this two months ago and it seems as though the DVD has not left the DVD player. What I like the most is that there are video's with Corabi on it (Smoke the Sky/Misunderstood). If you like the CRUE, pick it up. It rocks from start to finish and the inteviews with Sixx and Lee are great. Kick Start Your Heart with this one!
