The label gets a band's already massive ego near supernova, proclaiming every turd nugget that spills from them to be "f-ing golden!" (Thank you, Blago) and then the producer is assigned and has to polish those turds until they shine. It has to suck to be the one trying to break it to them that, no, take one was not good and the whole run needs to be stepped up and re-recorded.

Yet apparently now, they are okay with it again, okay enough to put out a 25th anniversary edition.

Good stories!

To be honest, no one has ever confused me with a Crue fan, but Home sweet Home and Smokin in the Boys room are good rock songs no matter who played them. I always thought of Home sweet Home as being such an honest song and not really what I expected from Motley Crue. Thank you Sucks to hear that people still seem to blame you for their misfortune.
