Mötley Crüe – Theatre Of Pain

Backing away from the mild pseudo-Satanic posturing on parts of ‘Shout at the Devil’ in favour of a more glammed-up image, Motley Crüe really began to hit their commercial stride with ‘Theatre of Pain’, which broke them on MTV with the power ballad ‘Home Sweet Home’ and a remake of Brownsville Station’s ‘Smokin’ in the Boys’ Room’; the latter also landed them on the Top 40 singles chart for the first time.
