Authenticity check

A search reveals that the phrase "regarded by many" appears in the text. Is the phrase a symptom of a dubious statement? Could a source be quoted instead? Perhaps the "many" could be identified? Might text be edited to more genuinely reflect specific facts? Wetman

Song Trivia

I'm getting real tired of reading an article and in the middle of it I find that a given song is featured on the Guitar player II video game. That information isn't all that important, but if it has to be included, let it be at the end of the article page instead of damn-smack in the middle.

Most influential?

"..one of the most influential of its genre." Are you kidding??? What genre? Heavy Metal? That sure ain't Heavy Metal... 80.133.214.141 (talk) 12:54, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

First, please remember to sign your name when making any comments on this page. Second, what does it matter? This isn't a message board for opinions, it's meant for suggestions on how to better the article.Cobra wwe 03:59, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh fuck off about Mötley Crüe being a heavy metal band. Heavy metal bands doesn't look like retarded girls, they don't play music this painfully stupid (Judas Priest excluded, but that's just camp) and doesn't sound so... Lightweight. I usually refer to hair metal/glam metal/brutal death metal/whatever you guys call this to as "Stupid shit-rock performed by clowns who think that they're hardcore, but that would maybe be considered too much opinions to suit Wikipedia. Glam metal is a fine term for this shit.

And to cite Dave Mustaine (who shreds the fucking asses of these losers): "Glam stands for "Gay Los Angeles Metal"."--85.224.82.71 (talk) 15:43, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is a page about the article, not opinions on the music. Take it to a forum or somewhere. And Motley Crue is just as good as Judas Priest imo. 98.15.216.208 (talk) 20:36, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A few things: one, heavy metal is an all-emcompassing term for all the various subgenres of metal, including glam metal. (Hell, the sappy power ballads of the least metallica glam metal bands still fall under "heavy metal.") Two, it doesn't matter what your opinions are on their style of music or on how they act or dress. It depends on musical characteristics: heavily distorted guitars with an emphasis on riffing, abrasive/aggressive vocals, heavy drum emphasis, and, in particular, successive single-note riffing that carries many of the riffs and the tunes. Each of these are included in Motley Crue. Therefore they are indeed heavy metal. Helltopay27 (talk) 03:55, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Removed POV

I reworded the beginning paragraphs that had originally contained the regarded by many lines that someone at the top of this page has mentioned. The beginning is an easier read now, and doesn't contain vage statements. Darwin's Bulldog 21:14, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:ShoutattheDevilCD2.jpg

I blanked the warning as new FUR template now completed at album cover photo page. Best, A Sniper 15:15, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral

There are some very POV statements on the album in the Reception section of the article. They should be removed. Once they are, remove the banner. Andrzejbanas (talk) 14:51, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Album length

If you add up the song lengths, you'll find that the actual album length is 34:55. I'd fix this my self but I already tried & accidentally deleted EVERYTHING. Thank God there's an undo button! Anyway I don't think I can be trusted to edit this. Pickledawg (talk) 04:47, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You're right. This information was taken from Allmusic, and where they pulled that length out of their ass, I don't know. Helltopay27 (talk) 03:57, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
