The Dirt: A Motley Crue Retrospective - Episode 1: Too Fast For Love - Renegade Jukebox #35

February 14, 2024 by Michael Kaye in Music, Renegade Jukebox

Renegade Jukebox is back with another retrospective series. This time, instead of 1 mega star in Limp Bizkit, Nick and Mike are making one on 4 big cults of personality in the world of heavy metal. This series will go through each album by Motley Crue, from the perspective of two metalheads who haven't heard the majority of their albums in full. We begin with their 1981 debut, Too Fast For Love.

What’s going on, everyone? This is your Captain speaking, alongside my co-host, Nick, the Super Saiyan Death Metal God, and we are excited to share this episode! It’s a project that’s been in development for a while, exploring a genre of which one of us is not exactly a fan. This was originally meant to debut closer to the 40th anniversary of the band’s 2nd album Shout at the Devil, but was delayed due to, um, life happening. Nevertheless, please tune into the podcast to hear the full discussion!



That’ll do it for this episode! Thank you all for joining us!

New decade. New rules. New Trivium, figuratively and literally. In Waves is a huge turning point in the band's catalog, one the band insisted was a necessary step to them continuing. Is the album a shower or a grower? Or would we not see what they were going for on later albums? Listen and find out.

Uh oh, Nick & Mike are entering controversial territory on this Jukebox episode. This time on The Trivium Retrospective, we look at the first Trivium album worth defending. The Crusade is a widely debated album. Is it just copying Metallica or is there legitimate merit to these songs? Or is it just people making shit up to hate on a band that got popular off a landmark classic album? Listen and find out.

Today’s new Jukebox episode is a special one guys, Ascendancy by Trivium is 20 years old now. As horrifying a fact as that is, Nick & Mike as part of their Trivium retrospective decided to give it the full podcast treatment. And the only spoiler we’ll give? It holds up spectacularly well! Listen to it and help us celebrate one of the best metal albums ever made.
