One of the most notorious and successful bands of the hair metal era, Los Angeles rockers Mötley Crüe burned through the '80s in a blaze of drugs, debauchery, and platinum hits. Their glammed-out image, hard-partying reputation, and a knack for melding pop hooks to heavy metal theatrics took the band to the top of the charts repeatedly throughout the '80s, with records like 1985's Theatre of Pain and 1989's Dr. Feelgood bringing them to sold-out arenas around the world.
