MOTLEY CRUE. Too Fast For Love. Leather Records. LR 123
SELF-PROCLAIMED Mister wonderful Dave Lee Roth thinks this lot are good, and at the risk of enlarging an already swollen ego, you have to admit he's right.
Roth, complete with semi clad female, introduced the band at a recent West Coast gig and by all accounts, the LA-based glam-rockers are wowing receptive crowds at a number of local niteries, the Whisky A-Go-Go included. It's not hard to see why. Too Fast For Love, their debut LP, is chock-full of hedonistic charm and contemporary commercial appeal. Starry Eyes, sweet and innocent, and the melodic Public Enemy No. 1, are both prime singles choices. while with Live Wire, and Piece Of Your Action, the Crue and guitarist Mick Mars in particular, show the rougher, raunchier side of their nature. At times, Vince Neal's vocals sound a little strained but overall, their roustabout Roth-approved allure wins through. Irrepressible posers, Motley Crue are a barrel-load of fun and Too Fast For Love a tight-trousered, back-combed delight.
