♪ If you're slave to the grind ♪

We're getting ready
to go on tour,

and we were doing a photoshoot
with a good friend of ours,

a real friend, Lonn Friend,
for RIP Magazine.

We're shooting a Skid Row

[slide projector clicking]

[Vicky] I remember this one
particular meeting.

Teen Spirit has come out.

The marketing people are about,

and I remember them saying,
"Don't do anything.

It's working."

And the record just exploded.

[Katherine] Once a band
does well,

A&R people start signing bands

that are like that, which is how
the hair metal scene happened,

and that's how the grunge scene

got bigger and
bigger and bigger.

[Vicky] Everybody's
flying to Seattle,

like trying to
find the next band.

And a lot of bands out
of Seattle got signed.

[Riki] A long time ago,
it's like a lot of the bands

a lot of the great bands are
coming from the Seattle area.

And Pearl Jam is
one of those bands.

And we're a great band.
- [Mike laughs]

[Riki] You're a great band.

[Lonn] Groups like Pearl Jam

were writing really
strong songs.

So you can't get away
with fluff anymore.

The competition's too fierce.

♪ I nearly lost you there ♪

[Snake] This new sound was
saying something different

than our collective hard
rock brand of music.

And it was a whole
different culture.

Grunge was an
anti-rockstar thing.

They were more about
music connection,

just a little more thoughtful.

So all these like crazy getup
outfits, that was like gone.

You're not gonna see
Eddie Vedder in buttless chaps.

Thank God.

[Wayne] Grunge, in a
lot of the videos,

were exactly what
other videos were,

but that sound and the
look and the attitude

took it into a whole
different direction.

With metal, it was
all about, again,

the exuberance, the excitement.

I started watching
November Rain and it's like,

a guy jumping through
a wedding cake

when it starts to rain.

That absurdity and the
largeness of it, it's too much.

♪ Take your time ♪

[Wayne] You can see then
Nirvana coming up

with a dog with
the bite collar on.

It's the anti-video.

So do they destroy what's
going on with the metal?

No, but they just said,
"We don't wanna do that."

I liked a lot of
those bands. A lot.

But you know,
there was no reason

to throw the rest
of us in the trash.

[Riki] I've never heard of
a band getting a bigger buzz

quicker than this band, Nirvana.

Hi, Riki.
- First of all, love the suit.

Thanks a lot.
- Be very comfortable

on planes, I think.

[Lonn] People point to grunge,
specifically Nirvana,

as wielding some sort of
Game of Thrones sword

and cutting the heart
out of heavy metal music.

That's ludicrous.

If you say that
grunge killed metal,

you're a fucking idiot.

If you wanna talk about
bands that you say

kill your music scene,
and you're thinking, well,

what about the biggest
artist, Nirvana?

Guess what, people, you're
not saying the G word,

and that's Garth.

[Garth yells]

♪ I've got friends

[Lonn] In '92, Nirvana, Pearl
Jam, and Red Hot Chili Peppers

sold a combined
9 million albums.

Garth Brooks sold 12.6 million.

[Riki] Got to be a point
you didn't even care

[Riki] And pretty soon, all
those people that were going

to all those rock and roll shows

were going to country shows.

Like M tley Cr e's not
necessarily the best band,

the best instrumentalists,
but what they were doing

early on was authentic.

What diminished over the course

of the decade was
that authenticity.

[Katherine]
When hair metal bands

were no longer
the next big thing,

there was a backlash.

You know, you become
a laughingstock.

A lot of those bands who
went from playing arenas

and theaters were back in clubs.

Some of them didn't
survive at all.

[Kip] MTV made a left turn.
They just stopped playing it.

That was the media force.

I couldn't get a gig,
lost my record deal,

lost the publishing,
everything was gone.

I was sitting in Rick Krim's
office when somebody came in

and said, "Hey, man, you got
the new Metallica video?"

And it was Nothing Else Matters.

♪ Nothing else matters ♪

face, usher the video out,

[Kip] Our name was toxic.

This was very clear before
Beavis and Butt-Head

and after Beavis and Butt-Head.

This is cool, huh, guys?

Shut up, Stewart.
We're trying to watch TV.

Yeah, yeah.
- [Beavis and Butt-Head laugh]

[Kip] I mean, I was on the
scene of the crime.

I had my T-shirt
on Stewart's chest.

I am the guy that represents
everything that sucks.

I lost all my confidence.

It really shook me to the
core of my being, you know.

What the hell is your
mom's problem, Stewart?

Yeah. Your mom sucks.

[Janet] We were no longer a
viable musical entity.

It was horrifying.

There was inner turmoil
in the band a little bit

because we didn't
know what to do.

I didn't see it going anywhere.

So we called it quits.

I needed to do other
things that I liked doing

other than music.

A lot of soul-searching,

spent a lot of time with my dog,

played a lot of golf.

[Interviewer] There's not
a big audience for that.

What do you see for yourself
in the next five years?

Well, I don't know.

All of a sudden I felt
it had just been ripped

out from underneath
me, you know?

And I was devastated because
I had nothing else to my life.

Nothing. It was all
that mattered to me.

So I'm not gonna let
that happen again.

So, you know, I don't know.

[laughs] We'll see.

[birds chirping]

All right, I see a gem in here.

Our first single,
Edge of a Broken Heart.

I wonder if this
even plays anymore.

We look serious, don't we?

'Cause it was for a metal
magazine and we had to be...

bitchin'.

Looked like my closet
threw up on me.

"Vixen, the Return
of Girl Group Rock."

We brought something
back apparently

that I didn't know
had gone anywhere.

Ooh, "Wild Women's Den."

So my mom actually
got a lot of these.

She'd go up to the
counter with all these

like rock magazines,
and she would go,

"Oh, my daughter, my daughter's
in one of these bands."

You could see my amalgam
fillings in my molars.

So I went and I got
'em all replaced

with like
tooth-colored fillings.

It says I'm 5'7", 128 pounds.

OK.

Jan.

She's one of the nicest
people you will ever meet

in your entire life.

She was reforming the band,

wanted to get all the
originals back together.

We were all excited.
We were talking on the phone.

We were getting through
all of the old issues,

just knocking 'em out of
the way one at a time.

And we finally got to the point

where we were ready to do it.

We were gonna make
an announcement.

And she calls up and says,

"Well, we're gonna have to delay
this for a little bit."

It turned out she
had ovarian cancer.

To make matters worse, it was
stage four ovarian cancer.

A couple weeks
later she was gone.

So, yeah.

But at least we had that.

We had the moments to
kind of get through

a lot of old cobwebs
that needed to be removed.

But yeah, she was
something else. Miss her.

[Vicky] They say a manager is
blamed for everything

and credited with nothing.

But for me, it was like,
not just Guns N' Roses.

[Vicky] And it was Motley Crue.

Um... you know.

I had these hopes it would
be forever with these bands,

but it was always sort
of the same scenario

where I would develop them,
and then some corporate

record guy would swoop in
and steal the band somehow.

So I decided that I wanted
to be an A&R person.

The guys are just
wild and crazy guys,

but I'm really proud of
'em, and best of luck.

When they brought me to Geffen,

I was considered a street scout.

I went out every night

and just looked at
bands in the clubs.

Geffen was such that I could
sign one band a year on my own,

and then if I wanted
to sign another band,

I had to go through Tom Zutaut.

I was Tom's last priority.

I would sit in his waiting
room for hours sometimes,

waiting for him to like
take a meeting with me.

It was such a
male-dominated culture,

but I kind of tried
to be one of the guys.

I think that's why I was
able to get as far as I did

in the music business.

Getting the paycheck was great,
and being able to sign bands

to Geffen Records, it was great.

But most nights I felt like
I was having a heart attack

because it was like so insane.

[motorcycle engine revving]

This is West Hollywood!

[Speaker] Where are you guys
gonna be tomorrow night?

We'll be at Camp
Hollywood tomorrow night

if you wanna show up.
- OK, I'm up.

[Vicky] Well, I was 15 when
I first started partying.

$5.
- Five bucks? Ooh, baby.

I would go to the
Rainbow and have a couple

of Long Island iced teas
and be out of my mind.

I don't know what
they have in that,

but it's some strong shit.
[laughs]

I had met a doctor that
would write me a prescription

for 30 Quaaludes a month.

It got to the point
where hangovers were

lasting three days.

It's fun until it's
not fun anymore.

And once it's not fun anymore,
it's never fun again.

I started walking dogs for
a living. It got really bad.

The question in my mind was
always, is this all there is?

[crowd cheering]

[man] Welcome to the
Crue, Corabi!

[crowd cheering]

[rock music]

[John] They put out
a press release

saying that John Corabi's
the new singer for Motley.

For a bit, it was pretty cool.

it was hair-raising.

Ticket sales were bad,

but everybody was in
that grind at that point.

The only bands that were
really selling tickets

were all the Seattle bands.

We'd started working on
the record Motley Crue.

I don't really see
it like as Motley

intentionally trying to
write a grunge record.

[Snake] That thing that
Rachel had mentioned

in my mom's house,

it's gonna be trouble, we
certainly saw that happening.

[Kurt Loder] Skid Row frontman
Sebastian Bach became

rock's latest embarrassment
this week when a picture

of him wearing a T-shirt
with the declaration

"AIDS kills fags dead"

appeared in
"Metal Edge" magazine.

[Snake] We had the
horrible T-shirt.

The shirt that I was
wearing, as you might know,

says, "AIDS," it's like the-

Raid logo.
- It's the Raid, you know,

Raid, [laughs]
it's pretty harsh.

[Snake] Things started to
get a bit tenuous.

After touring 17 months,
we could not coexist,

mainly with Sebastian,
so we ended up

getting two different
buses for the band.

But I would go back and
forth with Sebastian's bus

just to try to keep some sort
of glue, some sort of bond.

Who the fuck did that, man?
Who the fuck did that?

Was that you, cock sucker?
- [crowd clamoring]

[Snake] We had the incident
in Springfield, Massachusetts

of Sebastian throwing
a bottle back

and hitting a female
audience member.

You know what I'm gonna do?
Just get out of the fucking way!

[rock music]

[crowd yelling]

[Snake] The worst part about
that is someone

got permanently injured
because of someone's actions

that were in our band.

The crowds like hated us.

We were getting spit on.

We were getting bottles
of piss thrown at us.

It was obvious.

When we got done with that tour,

we all went our separate ways.

We didn't say a
word to each other.

I was having massive
panic and anxiety attacks.

This black tidal wave
kept just building

and building and building.

The stigma is, you're crazy.
Put him away.

And that they did.

[somber rock music]

[Kip] I can't get a deal.
Lost my deal.

No one's gonna sign me.

I was forced to redefine
myself as a musician.

I moved to Santa Fe,
New Mexico, bought a house,

put a studio in the house,
and thought,

I'm gonna redevelop
the way I create music.

Got three-quarters of the way
through my first solo album

and then my wife got in
a car accident and died.

It was fucking surreal.

There was a lot of
praying going on, man.

I did the same thing
I always did, I just...

went back to the music.

[piano music]

It was at that
moment that I said,

there's nothing else
here for me to do,

so I'm gonna finally
try to do the one thing

I've always wanted to do,

which is write orchestral music.

[piano music]

Learn it on their term.

And I'm gonna compose...

classical music.

[classical music playing]

The Motley fans,
they're a strange breed.

You wanna hit all these things?

[man] Yeah, if that's OK,
I appreciate it.

How's that?

[John] Some of the fans were
OK with me joining.

These two? And this?

[man] You don't have to do all
that too, if you don't want to.

[John] And then there was
other ones that just

weren't gonna have it at all.

I never saw anybody with a sign,

like, " fuck you," or
"where's Vince," you know?

Everybody that did come
came to have a good time.

[metal music]

[Lonn] It was a really
substantial record.

It's hard for a
frontman to leave,

and for you to have success
with a new frontman.

It's not done.

And Motley had Vince Neil
since, you know, day one.

[John] The studio record prior
to mine sold 12 million.

You know, mine didn't
even do a million.

We had started working on
what became Generation Swine.

As easy, and fun, and creative
as the first record was,

the next record was the
complete antithesis of that.

None of us were getting along.

There was some rumors

going around that maybe
they were talking to Vince,

maybe they weren't.

There was definitely some
tension with a lot of the fans.

And, the minute they brought
Vince back, it was all gone.

And I get it.

[guitar music]

I was devastated

that I wasn't gonna
continue on with the band,

but at the same time,
I was relieved.

It's those four guys,
as it should be.

And I'll always be that
little asterisk on the side.

[guitar music]

My mom and I.

Is a...

affectionately
known as Mama Snake.

And she was like
the band mom and

we would be sleeping
on her floor,

we'd party 'till four
o'clock in the morning

at her house,
she never said a word.

I'd be like, "Ma, food!"

And she'd get up at
2:30 in the morning

and make us food,
it was incredible.

My dad...

left when I was two.

My brother, Rick,
was kind of, like,

the one who was raising me,
if you will.

He was like my hero.

He got drafted to Vietnam.

The first line in 18 and Life,

"Ricky was a young boy,
he had a heart of stone,"

was written about him.

Around the age of

12 years old,

I was molested by some
boys in my neighborhood.

People I trusted, who were
a little older than me.

My body

and brain

shut down

to make this as
unreal as possible.

I viewed it from a
third-person standpoint.

So, I saw it happen.

But it didn't happen to me.

The person that was on stage,
and is on stage,

is mostly a character
that was developed

as a defense
mechanism for fear of

what other people are
going to think of me.

I ended up in a hospital because

I had had enough.

I still didn't have
the one key thing,

was how do you fight it?

I went to see this doctor,

and he was the
first psychiatrist

that sat down and had
a conversation with me.

So, I started treatment, and

I started, I was dedicated
with my medicine.

I was dedicated with therapy.

And, sure enough, man,
slowly, but surely.

And the more it helped,
the more I went to therapy,

I started coming back.

I am completely aware,
acutely aware,

of how lucky and blessed I am

for all that I've been given.

[Vicky] I was really upset
for a long time.

At some point, you realize you,

you're gonna run outta money.

I wanted a family,
I wanted to be a mom.

I wanted some other things.

I decided to go back to school.

I enjoyed using
that side of my brain.

It's exactly what I
hoped it would be.

was the hardest thing

I had to really reinvent myself

and find my own
self-esteem to like

move forward in this game.

I wanna mention a couple people

who were really responsible
for taking this derelict,

fucked up, dysfunctional band,

and seeing something
in it early on.

It was Vicky Hamilton,
who tried to manage us

with all her heart.

Steven thanked me

at the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame.

I wanna thank Vicky Hamilton.

That was the first time
there had been any kind of

acknowledgement that
I had helped them.

[playing Sweet Child O' Mine]

[Vicky] I do know what I did.

And, to me, it doesn't matter
what other people believe,

or say, or anything like that.

I know what I did.

Slash knows what I did,

because he was there doing
it with me, you know?

[John] I guess I was around 50.

And I was having like
this midlife crisis.

My dad called me.

And I was kind of
taking stock in my life.

I was sitting there
talking to him,

and I was saying
things like, you know,

all the shit
that I've done, you know,

the Scream, and Motley, and

Ratt, and Union,

and I'm 50 years old now.

nd I met this girl,
but I'm living in her house.

I don't own anything.

Like, I have nothing to show

for all of the
work that I've done

my whole life.

But, my dad

stopped me dead in my tracks,
and he goes, "Listen."

He said, "When I was a kid,
I wanted to be an artist."

And he goes, "I fell in
love with your mother."

"We got married and you came
along shortly afterwards."

"My dream of being an artist,
I put it aside."

"I put on a suit and tie,

and I went to work."

He said, "You,
on the other hand,

you did everything you said
you were gonna do."

"You made a lot of money."

"You took care of your son."

"You took care of your mother."

"You did it all

playing your guitar
exactly as you wanted."

"You're a bigger man
than I'll ever be."

He put everything
into perspective for me.

But, I think that
was the point where

I finally got

the seal of approval.

When he did pass away,

I found his old foot locker
from the Army.

And there was my dad's
medals on one side,

and the whole rest of
the footlocker was like,

there was every fucking magazine
that I had ever been in.

Like, pictures circled, cut out.

And it was like, you know what?

I did OK.

Life is good.

[Kip] The universe dealt
me a hell of a blow

to put me in the place
that I needed to be to

achieve,

artistically,
what I was capable of.

I never thought
it was in my reach to

have an orchestra play my music.

I just wanted to do it, because,

you know, I wanted
to know the language.

Studied for a long,
long time, man,

before I wrote anything good.

Finally, I wrote this
ballet called Ghosts,

and I sent it to Chris Wheeldon,
a world-renowned choreographer.

And Chris called me back
and said,

"I want to use it for
San Francisco Ballet."

ended up getting
nominated for a Grammy in

contemporary
classical composition.

I've just done it for
the love of it, man.

[audience applauding]

[orchestral music]

There's very few classical
composers you'll hear

that can really make
the orchestra rock

like a rock band.

[audience applauding]

It's all been very surreal.

To go into the ranks
of a whole other genre

and to really be embraced.

[audience applauding]

[Lonn] The '80s metal genre

was so much about
having a good time.

It was about getting laid,

and getting loud, and drunk,

and not worrying about the
pressures of society so much.

Just, kind of letting it go.

Having an escape.

In the last like 10 years,
the country music scene

has adopted that
whole zeitgeist.

[Riki] Have you people been to
a country concert lately?

Country is now the
'80s, '90s rock and roll.

♪ Baby you're a song ♪

♪ You make me
wanna roll my windows down ♪

♪ And cruise ♪

♪ When this country cutie
with a rock and roll booty ♪

♪ Came struttin' in
through the door ♪

[Riki] Now they're singing
about meeting the girls,

and partying with your friends.

♪ You can find me in the back
of a jacked-up tailgate ♪

You know, "We're gonna
pull in the river

and drink on my,
drink in my truck."

♪ And I'll find peace ♪

♪ At the bottom of
a real tall cold drink ♪

"With a drink in my hand,
and she was so fine."

[Lonn] The songs that will
live on from the '80s,

in the same way
that The Beatles,

and The Stones, and the
Zeppelin songs live on.

But the ones that we remember,

they define the groups
that define the era.

♪ Yeah, love is all around you ♪

[Riki] And you know what?
It's not dead.

Because anytime
I put on any record

from that music that
I wanna listen to,

it still sounds fucking good.

♪...just want you ♪

[Snake] Heavy metal music
and hard rock music

never, ever died.

From the early
Deep Purple records

and Black Sabbath records,

all the way through to today.

Skid Row is still out
playing to great audiences.

To this day, we still get
people talking about

what that record meant to them.

I'm so filled with gratitude

to be a part of something
that affected people

on such a deep level.

It's a pretty special thing.

["Love Song" by Tesla playing]

[Lonn] Metal never dies,
it's like a virus.

Metal just comes back
as a different variant.

♪ I wanna rock ♪

♪ Rock ♪

You're into metal?
I'm into metal.

You're into metal?
I'm into metal.

We're gonna thrash!

[Lonn] The real metal fans,
they're still around.

Metal.

["Sweet Child O' Mine" plays]

Stop. You're in.

Oh, cool.
- What's in your wallet?

[Peacemaker] Oh, this is my jam.

You know, this is back
when men were real men,

'cause they weren't
afraid to be women.

[Katherine] So, definitely,
in the last five years,

I have noticed the resurgence.

Motley Crue has un-retired
and is back on the road.

Cut to today, the teachers
unions are singing--

♪ We're not gonna take it ♪

♪ No, we ain't gonna take it ♪

"No, we ain't gonna take it."
And, it's just amazing.

[Riki] I'm always gonna be that
guy from Headbanger's Ball.

This show is much more
important than I even realized.

I'm so proud and blessed
to have been part of that.

♪ Love will find a way ♪

[Snake] I wasn't raised
in an environment

or with the ethos that

it was a birthright
to be successful.

It's a gift.

It's an absolute gift, and
you need to treat it as such.

Whatever good comes your way,

take it as such.

There's gonna be bad times.

You just gotta get through 'em.

[Vicky] Music changes
people's lives.

Make the world
better through music,

that's kind of my philosophy.

Figure out something to say
that's going to save the world.

You know?

Because we need it.

Life is as it should be.
I don't regret anything.

'Cause everything that I've done

has led me to this point,

right now, talking to you.

And, cut.
[laughs]

And that's a wrap.

Yeah, thank you, guys.

Oh! Eww!

Gonna put my parent's
video on Instagram.

My wife says, "You don't
drink enough water."

I said, "What do you mean?"

"They put water in those
coffee machines, don't they?"

I just like my water
over coffee beans

before it gets into me.

I picked the wrong role model.

I wanted to be Keith Richards.

I realize, now, only one guy
gets to be Keith Richards,

and that's Keith Richards.

I felt like the
bands that I was in

were not managed the way
I would manage the band.

And so, that I started
managing because

it was kind of do-it-yourself.
