Sunday's Best: Week 2, 2022
Sunday, January 16, 2022 at 01:25PM Welcome to Sunday's Best, where we talk about something random and probably ridiculous. This week, let's discuss some of the craziest Motley Crue interviews of all time. Let me know which clip is your favorite... and if you found something better to share!
Back in 1984, Motley played at Donnington. They were interviewed backstage... and they were on something.
Also in the early 80s, Motley Crue was interviewed backstage before a show in Germany. Scroll to about 2:30 for the interview. Like always, Tommy Lee fidgets, smiles and whips around his drumsticks the entire time... and Mick Marks just looks like he wants it to be over.
In 1985, punk legend Wendy O. Williams makes Tommy Lee and Vince Neil shy during an interview. Don't worry, Tommy tries to play it cool by smoking a cigarette during the convo.
Then there's this oddity - from when Nikki was married to Donna D'Errico. Access Hollywood did a feature on their home life with their kids.

I also found the hairstyles to be a precious relic of days gone by. Like _Heavy Metal Parking Lot_, but with better lighting!
And thanks for sharing that WOW clip, Allyson. She was fierce (she made Vince and Tommy look like Motley Kittens!). Tragic, flawed, and ultimately zapped by her demons. But Williams was something back in the day.She made music as performance art. Some shook their heads. Others signed up and went along for the ride. RIP WOW (1949-1998).
your breath’s so bad it gave me an existential crisis — it made me question my whole life.”
And agree with HIM regarding Wendy O.
I was fortunate enough to see her perform at the 9:30 Club in D.C. in ‘87 and it was one of the best shows I EVER saw …
Two coffins get wheeled out, she bursts on stage through an explosion and dry ice smoke and quickly opens each coffin so two guitarists can hop out to join her on stage with some of the coolest dueling solos I’ve ever seen!
I’ll never forget it!
Also worth checking out is the great live performances of her original band, The Plasmatics. I had all their singles and albums but alas had to sell ‘em all.
One particularly cool album was her W.O.W. album which was produced by Paul Stanley and had all of KISS playing on it.
