4.0 out of 5 stars
From "Live Wire" to "You're All I Need", May 3, 2004
This review is from: Music To Crash Your Car To, Volume 1 (Audio CD)
I can't believe so many people are complaining about this set. If you don't like the idea of the first four CDs in a set because you already own all of it for the most part, DON'T BUY IT! They give you the track list on here people, you know what you're buying...most of you reviewers probably don't even own it anyway! Now that that's out of the way, let me say that this is an awesome box set. I didn't own any of these prior to getting the box set and this made it much more convienient for me. Not only is this cheaper than buying the four CDs seperatly, but you also get a very nice booklet which discusses the history of the band along with many full-color photos, bonus tracks, and most importantly the original version of Too Fast For Love. Though Theatre of Pain and Girls Girls Girls may not be Motley's best CDs, they're still worth owning in my opinion. I will agree with one negative aspect of the set, the title was not a good idea but certaintly not a reason to prevent you from purchasing this. Bottom line is that if you already own these, either keep the CDs or sell em and GET THIS! If you don't own 'em and you like Motley...what are you waiting for? I'm looking forward to the next volumes of the set.

Great, but......, December 6, 2003
This review is from: Music To Crash Your Car To, Volume 1 (Audio CD)
Being a Motley-head since the leathur album, this is a great collection. Let me get the few complaints out of the way. The original Leathur mixes are from a pristine record. Not from the masters. Which I found odd because "Stick To Your Guns" & the "Too Fast for Love" (bonus alternate intro version) from the Crucial Crue remasters are from the masters. "TFFL" bonus alternate intro version IS the leathur mix, So on this set you get the same version twice. One from Vinyl and the master tape. A bit odd and redundent. So you have to keep the Crucial Crue "TFFL" to get the master tape version of Stick To Your Guns". You can hear slight suface noice on the Leathur mixes and a few "pops" but hell, If you are a crue nut like me, you aren't gonna find a copy sounding this good for the price PLUS it's on CD! My other complaint is there is no album artwork or lyrics so I need to keep the "Crucial Crue" CD's, again redundent. It's great to get the Japanese extra tracks that eventually came out in the US on the Hip-O re-reissues of the crucial Crue series.Especially the GREAT demo of " Too Young To Fall In Love", it is kickin'! I still have the "Beyond" Crucial Series, so this is cool. As far as most box sets go, they include lots of previously unreleased material which this set doesn't (except the Leathur album) I doubt I will be buying the next 3 sets that are planned for the one bonus track that was added on the Japan reissues. Nikki, add some unreleased gems and you have my $$! I would LOVE to have the single versions of "Stick To Your Guns" since it is so different (hint). To me, the set is worth it JUST to get the far superior Leathur version of "TFFL". The wait is over Motley heads! you too can own these great gems, it's worth the bucks! Take me to the top!

A RIP OFF!!!!!!!!, November 13, 2003
This review is from: Music To Crash Your Car To, Volume 1 (Audio CD)
Mötley Crüe has been my favourite band since 1983's Shout At The Devil but recently every aged over the hill rocker turns into a Gene Simmons wannabe! So is Mr. Sixx, while Vince is lost in Limbo, Mars is trying to get his illness under controll and Lee is kissing every NU Rocker and rapper's a@@, he closed deals with record labels to re-issue the Cruecial Crue Remastered CD's now with the Japanese bonustracks as an extra and some additional linear notes. release a GREAT DVD, release a box set in the UK with a double CD compilation and a PART of this previously mentioned DVD and now release PART 1 of a 16 disc boxset. Part 1 of 4 discs so the fans, he loves so much, don't have to pay for 16 discs at once in these financially recession filled dayz. He forgets to tell all of us that this so called box set for the fans is actually a repackaging of the again previously mentioned remastered with small addition of only the original Leathur Version of Too Fast For Love. So this is far from what we expected and OK a boxset with only NEW material is propably a thing only Bruce springsteen could have done but MOTLEY who's SO BIG and to whom the fans mean everything just repackage the remasters for the 3rd time! It's a SHAME!!! The longtime fans already owned the remasters maybe even twice for the Japanese bonustracks but selling them again as a boxset and making fans buy them again to get the highly sought aftre ORIGINAL mix of TFFL is tasteless. I keep my final judgement when all 4 sets are out but set 2 will obviously contain Feelgood, Motley Crue, Relics and Generation Swine, Set 3 the double Live Album, New tattoo and!?!? And hey, would set 4 be rarities and stuff or maybe a compilation of the previous 3 boxsets or maybe Vince's solo albums or GOD HELP ME Tommy's solo efforts?!?! Think twice before you buy!!!
