With Motley Crue in 40th anniversary mode the first of the reissues will continue to roll out this Friday (25 June 2021).
‘Theatre of Pain’, the third Motley Crue album drops Friday through Better Noise. ‘Theatre of Pain’ reached no 7 in Australia and no 6 in the USA in 1985. The album included the Motley Crue cover of ‘Smoking In the Boys Room’.

Neil was charged with vehicular manslaughter. His blood alcohol reading was 0.17. At the time the California limit was 0.1. Neil was sentenced to 30 days in jail and five years probation. He was order to pay $2.6 million to Dingley’s family and do 200 hours of community service. He was paroled about 15 days for good behaviour. ‘Theatre of Pain’ was dedicated to Razzle.
