The band then switched management, which ended in a long and arduous lawsuit and bankruptcy for the ex-manager.
They were gracing the pages of magazines in the USA and beyond – which makes sense, seeing as most of the incidents listed here turned out to be PR stunts.

To top it all, Lee threw a television set out the upper story window of the Sheraton Caravan Hotel, leading the band to be banned for life from Edmonton.
Lee and their assistant band manager were interviewed by police. Then, while playing at Scandals Disco in Edmonton, a bomb threat meant the Crüe were on the front page of the Edmonton Journal the next day. Then Neil was held up for carrying a small catalogue of pornos on board the plane with him.

The band hit the road for the first time in August 1982, with several incidents kick-starting the band’s wild reputation. Time to Say Goodbye – Shocking but True Band Break-Up Stories The success of the album got the band signed the following year and although it only reached number 77 in the charts at the time of release, it would later reach platinum status after being remixed and rereleased once the band hit legendary status.

They released their first album in November 1981 and called it Too Fast to Love. Mötley Crüe seemed like they were aways destined for stardom. They decided on the name Mötley Crüe after Mars heard someone refer to them as a “motley looking crew.” The umlauts were inspired by the German beer Löwenbräu. The band spent their early years performing on the garage circuit and played their first gig at Starwood nightclub on April 24th.

The band grew to sell-out stadiums, but in the early days it was their DIY energy and androgynous looks that captured the attention of the American public. They’d tear it up on stage, often smashing up expensive guitars or even vomiting up there.

The band is well-known for their insane antics, and some of the stories floating around are hard to believe. Hailing from Los Angeles, CA, the band formed in 1981, with the original members consisting of Vince Neil (vocals), Mick Mars (guitars), Nikki Sixx (bass), and Tommy Lee (drummer).
