In 1987, Mötley Crüe was a Heavy Metal band on the climb. They had their big hit "Girls Girls Girls", which became a legendary MTV video. Mötley Crüe was filling arenas as they performed wild concerts on tour for their fans. I found two interesting short videos on You Tube from 1987. The first video is with Nikki Sixx discussing Mötley Crüe's music, the generation of fans at the time, and the direction of the band. Nikki Sixx had a good perspective of the Glam Rock music scene which was starting to peak. While the Nikki Sixx interview was more of a serious tone, the second video is an interview about the partying and fun the band, the road crew, and fans were experiencing. Check out the clothes, the hair and the Heavy Metal music in the videos below. - Kenny LeibowThe two video interviews are from Good Rockin' Tonite a Canadian television series, which aired on CBC Television from the early 1980s to 1993. The program, similar to the American Friday Night Videos, played popular music videos. It was produced at CBUT Vancouver and aired on Friday nights at midnight. The program also featured interviews with musicians, viewer contests and a countdown of the week's most popular singles and albums. The program's original host was Terry David Mulligan, who left to join MuchMusic in 1985. He was replaced by Stu Jeffries.
