Motley Crue ‘Dr. Feelgood’ Album Reissued For 35th Anniversary

Motley Crue has some amazing albums.  And one fan favorite is getting reissued on November 22nd. Motley Crue Feelgood for 35 years!  That’s right, Dr. Feelgood will be celebrating its 35^th anniversary on November 22^nd.  35 years!!! Can you believe it?

And what an album it is.  It has massive Motley Crue hits on it and also some extraordinary deep cuts.  It’s one of those albums that I’d like to say doesn’t really have deep cuts.  Practically everyone owns a copy and if I were to crank any track from it on the radio, you’d know what it is.  It’s a fantastic record that almost gets better with age.

So with an album this massive, how do you reissue it?  You need to go big to entice people and throw in a lot of extras.  Although if you’re an audiophile like me, then even just having a remastered version of this record is reason enough to pick it up.

So let’s dive in –

There are three CD and three LP box sets that include a remastered version of the original album, an EP of five demos, and an EP of five live tracks. Both box sets come with a 24-page replica tour book, a replica Dr. Feelgood Tour itinerary, poster, patch, backstage pass, live show handbill, press kit, medical envelope and guitar pick. Did you get that all?  My hands hurt from typing all that.  LOL  It’s a jam-packed boxed set no matter which way you go!

The album will also be reissued digitally and six different vinyl editions will be rolled out over a number of retailers.

Keep in Mind, this is Motley Crue’s only number 1 album and it’s been certified six times platinum.  This is certainly a boxed set/re-issue that you might need to consider if you’re a Crue fan!

Check out a trailer for the reissue on YouTube.

We celebrated the birthday of Axl Rose this week and today it’s Vince Neil’s turn. The frontman of Motley Crue turns 63 today. I thought it might be fun to take a look at 5 songs I love from Motley Crue!

Vince contributed some great vocal work to Motley Crue. They were a band known for wild partying and not taking crap from anyone. What’s so great about them is they had a really cool presence and attitude. Plus, they’re playing was tight and skillful and they knew how to put on a killer live show. Vince’s vocals worked really well with the riffs, and they had so many really infectious melodies. It was hard to get them out of your head! Sure, they had their fair share of up-tempo heavy rockers, but they could also slow it down with a power ballad or just give you a fun mid-tempo tune that was super catchy!

The band has gone on to become one of the most recognizable faces of 80’s hair metal. They’re on the Mt. Rushmore for that subgenre. And there's a reason why. Think about it – Between Vince’s vocals, The awesome riffs, and drum solos from Tommy Lee, it’s hard not to appreciate what they did! So many solid albums and as I said the songs were varied in style but always remained well-written and planned out. They were true rockstars that made you want to pick up a guitar or a pair of sticks and bang away.

So, on this, the birthday of Vince Neil let’s take a look back at some great songs that stand out. These are just 5 of my favorite and are in no particular order. But I thought it’d be fun to go through their catalog and hear some great tunes.

Here’s 5 Songs I Love from Motley Crue!

A really fun one from the "Feelgood" record. It's upbeat with some cool horns.

So Raw, rockin' yet emotional with a cool story.  A fun listen....

This riff is really cool and there's an awesome solo in the middle.  I really dig this one!

I hate to get this one on the list.  Love that double bass drum action from Tommy Lee.  And it's just a fun up-tempo rocker!

If this doesn't get your adrenaline going, what will?  It's so fun and gets everyone moving!
