Formed in 1980 in Los Angeles, California, Mötley Crüe was one of the most influential hair metal bands of the 1980's. The band became very successful with the help of MTV playing their videos. Their first five albums were platinum. They are most well known for the way they dress and the amount of makeup they wore along with their endless abuse of alcohol and drugs. They had multiple run-ins with the law, which ended in serious consequences. After becoming sober, the band released their album entitled, "Dr. Feelgood". This was their best selling album. Throughout their career, they were 4-time Grammy nominees. They will be embarking on their farewell tour in 2014 lasting until 2015.
