Alice Cooper Looks Back At 80s Heavy Rock Scene And Motley Crue
. "There was Guns N' Roses and Motley Crue and Cinderalla and Poison and all these bands," recalls Cooper of the 80s heavy rock scene, "and the thing that I liked about it was that it was glitzy - it was very glitzy and glam. And it's when MTV started, so there was the perfect outlet for a three-minute glitzy, glam rock and roll show. So all these bands had to really look good, they had to play good, they had to have hit songs. I mean, that's a pretty good combination. "Motley Crue, all of a sudden," he continued, "were these guys that looked like girls and were nailing every girl in town, and that was their image. And everybody went, 'Well, what's wrong with that? That seems like the right idea.' "The thing that impressed me the most about Motley Crue was Tommy, the drummer. I looked at them and I said, 'Jesus, the drummer is really good.' A lead singer always looks at a band and says, 'Who can I steal out of this band?' That drummer was already on my list. I said, 'If this band breaks up, I'm grabbing this guy.'"
