Oorspronkelijk uitgebracht in 1983 op het hoogtepunt van de ‘Satanic Panic’, katapulteerde SHOUT AT THE DEVIL Mötley Crüe tot supersterren. Mötley Crüe’s tweede album, dat de hype en belofte van hun PLATINUM debuut Too Fast For Love bevestigde, bereikte de Amerikaanse Top 20 en werd 4X PLATINUM. Voor veel muziekfans was SHOUT AT THE DEVIL de eerste keer dat ze getuige waren van een album met dit soort foto’s en tekstuele inhoud in de reguliere winkelschappen.
SHOUT AT THE DEVIL blijft de basis van de liveset van Mötley Crüe, waarbij de band 4 nummers van dit iconische album speelt tijdens elke show van THE WORLD TOUR die momenteel aan de gang is. Al tijdens de originele tour voor dit al album promoveerde Mötley Crüe van openingsact naar arena headliners.
De baanbrekende muziekvideo’s voor “Looks That Kill” en “Too Young To Fall In Love” zetten de standaard voor talloze MTV-momenten. Die twee singles, gecombineerd met het sinistere titelnummer, roekeloze nummers als “Knock ‘Em Dead, Kid”, “Bastard” en “Red Hot”, hun waanzinnige versie van “Helter Skelter” en het angstaanjagende bijna instrumentale “God Bless The Children Of The Beast” hielpen bij het creëren van dit tijdperk- en genrebepalende album.
40 jaar later is MÖTLEY CRÜE nog steeds goed zoals ze onlangs lieten horen op Graspop in België, groter dan OOIT en headliner in STADIUMS over de hele wereld!

ABOUT MÖTLEY CRÜE
Hailing from Los Angeles, CA, Mötley Crüe —Vince Neil (vocals), Nikki Sixx (bass), Tommy Lee (drums) and Mick Mars (guitars) — has commandeered the rock pantheon for 41 years. The band has sold over 100 million albums worldwide, garnered 7 USA platinum and multi-platinum albums, 22 Top 40 mainstream rock hits, 6 Top 20 pop singles, 3 Grammy nominations, 5 New York Times best-selling books, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and a Netflix hit movie.
The quartet has amassed over 5 billion streams across digital platforms and the band has over 8 million followers on social media. Known for their iconic live performances, the band has sold-out countless tours across the globe in front of millions of fans with groundbreaking production highlights such as Tommy Lee’s drum-rollercoaster and Nikki Sixx’s flame-throwing-bass. They pioneered the Las Vegas rock residency with a sold out run in 2012. Mötley Crüe’s hit songs such as “Kickstart My Heart” and “Home Sweet Home” are frequently licensed by major brands such as NASCAR, Dodge, Coldwell Banker, Carl’s Jr. and KIA to name a few and their music can be heard on TV hit shows such as Stranger Things and Cobra Kai amongst many others.
The band’s biography “The Dirt: Confessions of the World’s Most Notorious Rock Band” became a New York Times best-seller in 2001 and has sold over 1 million copies worldwide. Members of the band have authored 4 additional New York Times best-selling books since. In 2019 Netflix premiered “The Dirt” biopic based on the bestselling book which became a global hit movie scoring a 94% positive audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. As a result, Mötley Crüe gained an entire new generation of young fans who discovered the band through the movie and further solidified their iconic status, relevance and the timelessness of their songwriting.
Mötley Crüe remains a huge global draw 41 years into their career and, in the summer of 2022 co-headlined a nearly sold out North American stadium tour with Def Leppard. The World Tour continues to travel to stadiums around the world throughout 2023 with John 5 on guitar as the band pushes the limits of live performance.
