Per reunion s'intende, nell'ambito musicale, la riunione della formazione originale di un gruppo dopo che si è sciolto, ed è questo che hanno fatto i Mötley Crüe, storica band Glam degli '80, che con questo Live torna più in forma che mai.

Appena l'ho visto sullo scaffale sono stato indeciso se prenderlo o se lasciarlo lì, e convinto dal conveniente prezzo (16 eurozzi) l'ho comprato.

Appena l'ho ascoltato, mi sono convinto di aver effettuato un buon affare.

Ma partiamo con la descrizione del Live.

Il primo disco è completamente dedicato ai classici, come "Shout At The Devil", che ha l'onore di aprire il concerto, "Too Fast For Love", "Wild Side", "Girls, Girls, Girls", "On With The Show" (più bella della versione studio, perché arricchita da una sezione di chitarra acustica di Mick Mars). Insomma, faccio prima a dire che il primo disco è quasi una compilation di brani dai dischi "Too Fast For Love", "Shout At The Devil" e "Girls, Girls, Girls", con l'aggiunta di "Louder Than Hell", che è invece da "Theatre Of Pain".

Il secondo disco è invece più calibrato nel repertorio. Si Apre con "Don't Go Away Mad" e continua tra classiconi del calibro di "Dr. Feelgood", "Kickstart My Heart", "Same Ol' Situation", "Home Sweet Home" e pezzi più recenti come "If I Die Tomorrow", Per poi concludersi con le cover di "Helter Skelter" e "Anarchy In The U.K."

Per finire, vorrei far notare che il pubblico partecipa molto, sia nei cori che nel fare casino.

 

P.S.: nei dischi ci sono anche le versioni video di "Too Fast For Love" e "Dr. Feelgood".

P.P.S.: esiste anche il DVD, che ha lo stesso titolo.

Elenco tracce e testi

01   Disaster (02:17)

02   Concert Intro (01:45)

03   Shout at the Devil (03:49)

He's the wolf screaming lonely in the night
He's the blood stain on the stage
He's the tear in your eye
Been tempted by his lie
He's the knife in your back
He's rage
He's the razor to the knife
Oh, lonely is our lives
My heads spinnin' round and round
But in the seasons of wither
We'll stand and deliver
Be strong and laugh and

[Chorus:]
Shout-shout-shout
Shout at the devil
He'll be the love in your eyes
He'll be the blood between your thighs
And then have you Cry for more
He'll put strength to the test
He'll put the thrill back in bed
Sure you've heard it all before
He'll be the risk in the kiss
Might be anger on your lips
Might run scared for the door
But in seasons of wither
We'll stand and deliver
Be strong and laugh and

04   Too Fast for Love (04:59)

05   Ten Seconds to Love (07:29)

06   Red Hot (03:59)

Fight for the black shark
See what evil brings
Can't you see we're out for blood
Love from a shotgun
License to kill
Can't you see we're out for blood

[Pre chorus:]
The kids scream in fright through the night
Loving every bite with delight
And we blow out our minds with your truth
And together we stand for the youth

[Chorus:]
Red Hot, Red Hot
To the top, we are
Red hot Shout at the devil
We've laughed at your wars
Can't you see we're out for blood
Run with the pack, now
Always ask for more
Can't you see we're out for blood

[Pre chorus:]

[Chorus:]

[Solo:]

07   On With the Show (04:43)

Frankie died just the other night
Some say it was suicide
But we know
How the story goes

With his six string knife
And his street wise pride
The boy was a man before his time
And she knew
All their dreams would come true

But ya see, Frankie was fast
Too fast to know
He wouldn't go slow
Until his lethal dose
And she knows
He'll finally come too close

[Chorus]
Well, on with the show
Going on with the show
Come on baby
No, no, no
Oh my, my, my . . . [repeat]

He was bad
He was never good
But one thing that he understood
And she knew
All those lies would come true The time has come and
He's paid his dues
Suzy finally got the news
She always knew
This day would come soon

[Chorus]
[Chorus]
He was stopped on a dime
With a switchblade knife
Some damn punk went and
Took Frankie's life
And she knew
She'd have to pull through

Broken down, with his broken dreams
With a wink of an eye
Said Suzy, listen to me
You must go
On with the show

Go on with the show
Going on with the show
Come on baby
No nono
Oh my my my my [repeat]

08   Too Young to Fall in Love (03:53)

You say our love
Is like dynamite
Open your eyes
'Cause it's like fire and ice
Well you're killing me
Your love's a guillotine
Why don't you just set me free

[Chorus:]
Too young to fall in love

Run for the hills
We're both sinners and saints
Not a woman, but a whore
I can just taste the hate
Well now I'm killing you
Watch your face turning blue
Not yet a man
Just a punk in the street

[Chorus:]

[Solo:]

You say our love
Is like dynamite
Well its no surprise
Cause you've got one-way eyes
Well you're killing me
Your love's a guillotine
Not yet a man

09   Looks That Kill (04:26)

Now listen up
She's razor sharp
If she don't get her way
She'll slice you apart
Now she's a cool, cool black
Moves like a cat
If you don't get her game
You might not make it back

[Pre chorus:]
She's got the looks that kill
That kill
She's got the looks that kill
That kill

[Chorus:]
She's got the looks that kill
Now she's bulletproof
Keeps her motor clean
And believe me, you
She's a number thirteen
The church strikes midnight
She's lookin' louder and louder
She's gonna turn on our juice, boy
So she turns on the power

[Pre chorus:]
She's got the looks that kill

[Chorus:]

[Solo:]
[Verse:]
[Pre chorus:]

10   Louder Than Hell (02:37)

11   Live Wire (08:02)

Plug me in
I'm alive tonight
Out on the streets again
Turn me on
I'm too hot to stop
Something you'll never forget
Take my fist
Break down walls
I'm on top tonight

[Pre Chorus]
No, no
You better turn me loose
You better set me free

Cause I'm hot, young, running free
A little bit better than I use to be

[Chorus]
Cause I'm alive
Live Wire
Cause I'm alive
I'm a Live Wire
Cause I'm alive
Live Wire
Cause I'm alive
I'm a Live Wire

I'll either break her face
Or take down her legs
Get my ways at will
Go for the throat
Never let loose
Goin' in for the kill
Take my fist
Break down walls
I'm on top tonight

[Pre Chorus]
[Chorus]

Come on baby
Gotta play with me
Well I'm your live wire
You better lock your doors
I'm on the prowl tonight
Well be mine tonight

[Chorus]

Come on be may baby
Come on tonight
Come on be may baby
Come on tonight
I'll give you everything
You want inside
Plug me in, plug me in
I want you

12   Girls, Girls, Girls (04:45)

Friday night and I need a fight
My motorcycle and a switchblade knife
Handful of grease in my hair feels right
But what I need to make me tight are

Girls, Girls, Girls
Long legs and burgundy lips
Girls,
Dancin' down on Sunset Strip
Girls
Red lips, fingertips

Trick or treat-sweet to eat
On Halloween and New Year's Eve
Yankee girls ya just can't beat
But they're the best when they're off their feet

Girls, Girls, Girls
At the Dollhouse in Ft. Lauderdale
Girls, Girls. Girls
Rocking in Atlanta at Tattletails
Girls, Girls, Girls
Raising Hell at the 7th Veil

Have you read the news
In the Soho Tribune
Ya know she did me
Well then she broke my heart

I'm such a good good boy
I just need a new toy
I tell ya what, girl
Dance for me, I'll keep you overemployed
Just tell me a story
You know the one I mean

Crazy Horse, Paris, France
Forgot the names, remember romance
I got the photos, a menage a trois
Musta broke those French's laws with those

Girls, Girls. Girls
At the Body Shop and the Marble Arch
Girls, Girls, Girls
Tropicana's where I lost my heart

Girls, Girls, Girls

13   Wild Side (06:21)

Kneel down ye sinners, to
Streetwise religion
Greed's been crowned the new King
Hollywood dream teens
Yesterday's trash queens
Save the blessings for the final ring-
AMEN

Wild side

I carry my crucifix
Under my deathlist
Forward my mail to me in hell
Liars and the martyrs
Lost faith in The Father
Long lost in the wishing well

Wild side

Fallen Angels
So fast to kill
Thy kingdom come on the wild side
Our father
Who ain't in heaven
Be thy name on the wild side Holy Mary
Mother may I
Pray for us on the wild side
Wild side. Wild side

Name dropping no-names
Glamorize cocaine
Puppets with strings of gold
East L.A. at midnight
Papa won't be home tonight
Found dead with his best friend's wife

Wild side

Gang fights
Fatal strikes
We lie on the wild side
No escape
Murder rape
Doing time on the wild side
A baby cries
A cop dies
A day's pay on the wild side
Wild side, wild side
Tragic life on the wild side
Wild side, wild side
Kickin ass on the Wild Side

14   Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away) (05:07)

We could sail away
Or catch a freight train
Or a rocketship into outer space
Nothin' left to do
Too many things were said
To ever make it feel
Like yesterday did

Seasons must change
Separate paths, separate ways
If we blame it on anything
Let's blame it on the rain

I knew it all along
I'd have to write this song
Too young to fall in love
Guess we knew it all along

That's alright, that's okay
We were walkin' through some youth
Smilin' through some pain
That's alright, that's okay
Let's turn the page My friends called today
Down from L.A.
They were shooting pool all night
Sleeping half the day
They said I could crash
If I could find my own way
I told them you were leaving
On a bus to go away

That's alright, that's okay
We were two kids in love
Trying to find our way
That's alright, that's okay
Held our dreams in our hands
Let our minds run away
That's alright, that's okay
We were walkin' through some youth
Smilin' through some pain
That's alright, let's turn the page
And remember what I say girl
And it goes this way

Girl, don't go away mad...
