"Glam superstars go Grunge!" So screamed the rock magazine headlines anyway. Are the Crue simply jumping on the bandwagon, or do they still have something to offer in the middle of the 1990s? Well, while there is no doubt that this a complete rebirth of the band, to me they now sound more like Skid Row than any of the Grungesters such as Nirvana, Pearl Jam or Soundgarden.
Although the triumvirate of Lee, Mars and Sixx is still very much in evidence, the addition of vocalist John Corabi has totally changed the sound of band, making them unrecognisable from the outfit who had hits with the likes of "Girls, Girls, Girls" and "Smoking in the Boys Room". In fact, there's a friend of mine who says that whenever a band changes its line-up, then it should also change its name as it's now a different entity altogether, and I think that this is a perfect example of his theory.
But the big question of course is whether the new Crue are better than the old Crue. It'll take a while to get used to, but I think I like it. Funnily enough, peering closely into my crystal ball, I have the feeling that there will be something of a Glam Rock revival soon, and maybe the Crue could have been at the forefront of it had they stayed together with Vince Neil, but they've made their decision and they are going to have to live or die by it.
My biggest complaint concerning the album is the appalling style of the printed lyrics - absolutely impossible to read most of them!
