1507 - Mötley Crüe Too Fast For Love 1981

Nikki Sixx was a bassist for successful L.A. metal band London when he decided to form his own band. Tommy Lee came aboard as drummer, and they decided to call themselves Christmas. Guitarist Mick Mars was discovered through a classified ad reading, "Loud Rude Aggressive Guitarist Available." Vocalist Vince Neil was plucked from a Cheap Trick cover band. Mars came up with the new, strangely umlauted name. Their eponymous, independently released debut was picked up by Elektra Records and retitled "Too Fast for Love". The title track is a killer classic. A very nice metal-lite riff is the centre-piece of the song. The influence of the Sex Pistols can be heard all over this track, very snotty, but also meaty and aggressive.
