Mötley Crüe is a legendary American heavy metal band that formed in Los Angeles, California in 1981. The band's original lineup consisted of bassist Nikki Sixx, drummer Tommy Lee, guitarist Mick Mars, and vocalist Vince Neil.
Mötley Crüe quickly gained popularity in the 1980s with their wild, over-the-top image and hard-hitting rock music. They released their debut album, Too Fast for Love, in 1981, followed by a string of successful albums including Shout at the Devil, Theatre of Pain, and Dr. Feelgood.
Throughout their career, Mötley Crüe was known for their excessive partying and drug use, which often landed them in legal trouble. Despite this, the band continued to produce hit albums and sold-out tours, becoming one of the biggest and most influential bands of the 1980s.
In 1992, Vince Neil left the band to pursue a solo career, but later rejoined in 1997. The band officially retired in 2015 after a final tour, but later reunited for a stadium tour in 2022.
