Whoa Nellie!! What a rush this caused when it was first released!!
The Crue had shown what they were capable of throughout the 80's, especially on Shout At The Devil and Girls Girls Girls, but one could only imagine what was to come when this album came out.
And when it did, it really exploded. Certainly the reaction from those I listened to music with was monumental.
Though a lot of the album carries the usual Motley Crue type of songs – such as Sticky Sweet, Without You and She Goes Down, there are also the balltearers that just blow you away.
You know the ones. Dr Feelgood – what an opening track, just sensational. Same Ol' Situation – a real mood lifter. Kickstart My Heart – still a classic even to this day.
This album was paydirt for the Crue, taking the best of everything they had done in the lead up albums, and put together correctly on Dr Feelgood. A classic. I'm not a fan of the slower ballad type songs, but those on this album fit so well you barely even notice.
Memories : We all saw Motley Crue on this tour in 1990 at the Sydney Entertainment Centre, one of three gigs in three weeks (Alice Cooper and Skid Row being the others). The best of the best that they ever wrote. Just a sensational evening of music.
Rating : Their finest hour. 5/5.
