I BEEN DRINKING LATELY GIRL
YOU KNOW I'M SICK IN LOVE
DON'T KNOW WHEN I'LL BE HOME
THEN I SEE THE FACES
WHEN I'M STANDING ON THE STAGE
IT GETS ME THROUGH THE NIGHTS
AND WHEN I'M FEELING COLD
ALL I HAVE TO DO IS CALL
undoubtedly the most
heavily anticipated
new album of 1994
was the new
Motley Crue.
Originally titled
‘Til Death Do Us Part,
the self-titled ’94 Crue disc
was their first
with new singer/guitarist
John Corabi.
They holed up with
producer
Bob Rock
and knuckled down,
creating what could
have been the
most important album
of their careers.
The long wait
(five years between studio albums)
and cryptic remarks
from the studio
indicated that this would be
the heaviest
Motley album ever,
and their most ambitious.
The new,
serious Motley
for the 90’s had,
as always,
written plenty of
extra material too.
In addition,
producer
Bob Rock
had an idea for
getting creative
juices flowing.
He asked each
of the four members of
Motley Crue
to write and record a
solo track
with no input
from the other members.
This was slightly historic:
the first time
Nikki Sixx,
Mick Mars,
Tommy Lee
or
John Corabi
had done anything solo.
With all the numerous
outtakes recorded for the
Motley Crue LP,
there was now plenty
of extra material
to put out as a
bonus EP.
A mail-away coupon
inside the
Motley Crue CD
alerted fans that
five more tracks
were available by
mail order only.
20,000 copies
of the original EP
were pressed.
They included all
four solo tracks
and a new
Motley Crue song called
“Babykills”,
featuring fifth Beatle
Billy Preston
on clavinet!
Still, the lucky fans in Japan
didn’t have to
mail away for anything.
They were able to buy
Quaternary
right on their
store shelves,
and because it’s Japan,
