Shout at the Devil

Satan Is My Superhero

In this episode we will raise our fist in the air and shout at the devil. The year is 1983 and Mötley Crüe are creating a legend around themselves as the very worst of rock n roll’s bad boys. They’ve been thrown off a Kiss tour for bad behaviour. According to legend, they’ve upset AC/DC and Van Halen so much on tour they have to be locked in a trailer and that trailer is then elevated metres off the ground by a crane so they can’t escape while the other bands play. In the middle of this maelstrom the Crüe release their second album, ‘Shout at the Devil.’ And things just get wilder.

Along with Nikki Sixx, Vince Neil, Mick Marrs and Tommy Lee this episode features guest mentions of such luminaries as Hawkwind, Moby Dick, Tom Zutaut, Ronald Reagan, Geoff Workman, PMRC, Tipper Gore, The Beatles, The Brady Bunch, Pamela Anderson and Joey Tempest.
