Rating: Hello, I know this album has already been reviewed many times, but I would like to share my thoughts on this initial small masterpiece from the glorious career of the great Motley Crue.
First of all, I want to start by saying that this band ruled the Eighties, only to regain their stride with the latest album released, masterpieces like "Girl Girls Girls" will not come again, but let's move on to the album in question.
The first track is "Live Wire," which immediately kicks off with power and energy bursting from every pore, with that sharp guitar that's impossible not to recognize. The second and third tracks are a bit softer but still thrilling, the riffs strongly resemble a punk track, but then comes the fourth track "Merry - Go Round" which is simply fantastic, very romantic, and every time I listen to it, beautiful moments come to mind. It also makes me think, not referring to the text in Italian, of a love story gone wrong, love, melancholy, but the track is truly amazing. After all, the great masters in question have crafted many ballads, all very beautiful.
Then come "Take Me To The Top" and "Piece Of Your Action," which are two rather simple tracks to remember, nothing new, but still very pleasant and catchy. Next is another of my favorites, "Starry Eyes," with that very Eighties atmosphere. Then it's the turn of the huge Title Track "TOO FAST FOR LOVE," which is simply beautiful, especially that chorus that's very hard to forget, moving on to tracks nine and ten, which are two ordinary episodes that do not ruin the album at all, and then there's the beautiful "Stick To Your Guns" and the last track "Tonight" - also nice as a Bonus.
To conclude, what can I say, the Motley Crue make me think of women in bikinis, motorcycles, the sea, beautiful summer evenings, and the great rock and roll they have always exuded, overlooking the dreadful Nineties and remembering that they are always and in any case a great band, not particularly gifted technically but still effective.
Cheers!
Tracklist Lyrics and Videos
01 Live Wire ()
Plug me in
I'm alive tonight
Out on the streets again
Turn me on
I'm too hot to stop
Something you'll never forget
Take my fist
Break down walls
I'm on top tonight
[Pre Chorus]
No, no
You better turn me loose
You better set me free
Cause I'm hot, young, running free
A little bit better than I use to be
[Chorus]
Cause I'm alive
Live Wire
Cause I'm alive
I'm a Live Wire
Cause I'm alive
Live Wire
Cause I'm alive
I'm a Live Wire
I'll either break her face
Or take down her legs
Get my ways at will
Go for the throat
Never let loose
Goin' in for the kill
Take my fist
Break down walls
I'm on top tonight
[Pre Chorus]
[Chorus]
Come on baby
Gotta play with me
Well I'm your live wire
You better lock your doors
I'm on the prowl tonight
Well be mine tonight
[Chorus]
Come on be may baby
Come on tonight
Come on be may baby
Come on tonight
I'll give you everything
You want inside
Plug me in, plug me in
I want you
02 Public Enemy #1 ()
You and me
We're gonna escape tonight
On the run
Under the moonlight
Don't think about nothin'
Don't think about nothin'
Tragedy
Runnin' the red light
Hear the screams
Another one dies tonight
Don't think about nothin'
Don't think about nothin'
Do you know how it feels
To be wanted
Do you know how it feels
To he wanted
Do you know how it feels
To he wanted
To be under the gun
On the run, having fun
When you're young
You're so young
When you're young
Public enemy #1
Oh yeah
I'm public enemy #1
Oh yeah
I'm public enemy #1
Oh yeah......
Climbing high
Fast as the speed of sound
Loser's dreams
Crashing to the ground
Don't think about nothin'
Don't think about nothin'
You and me
Under the gun tonight
On the run
We're lost in the limelight
Don't think about nothin'
Because we're gonna get crazy
Public enemy #1
Hey Hey-Hey
03 Take Me to the Top ()
Don't you know, know, know
It's a violation
I still hear you saying
Such a perfect, perfect night
No, no, no fight all temptation
Well, in a black hearted alley fight
I'm screaming
Take me to the heights tonight
Take me to the top
Take me to the top . . . [repeat]
Too many times
Victim accusation
No, you don't have to take it like that
A sheer, sheer heart attack
No, no noit's no realization
I never had a way with you
But I still hear you saying
Take me to the top
Take me to the top . . . [repeat]
Take me to the top
To the top and throw me off . . . [repeat]
05 Piece of Your Action ()
2nd I want you, I need you
I want you to be mine tonight
You need me, you tease me
Use you up, throw you away
You're fire, taking me higher
Don't burn me, don't let me down
You need me now, I'll teach you how
Come on, let's go all the way
Get a piece of your action
Ah huh
Get a piece of your action
Ah huh
Tight action, rear traction
So hot, you really blow me away
Fast moving, wet and ready
The time is right, so hang on tight
Live Wire, night prowler
Lay back and take me inside
You need me now, I'll teach you how
Come on, let's go all the way
Get a piece of your action
Ah huh
Get a piece of your action
Ah huh
I want you, I need you
I want you to be mine tonight
You need me, you bleed me
Use you up, throw you away
You're fire, taking me higher
Don't burn me, don't let me down
You need me now, I'll teach you how
Come on, let's go all the way
Get a piece of your action
Ah huh
Get a piece of your action
Ah huh
I get a piece of your action
Ah huh
Get a piece of your action
Ah huh
06 Starry Eyes ()
When she laughs
She's got the power of a child in her eyes
And when you cry now
She'll hold you like a man's supposed to be held
I can't get into words how I feel
Get it right in this song now
I had to set her free
Needed a friend
Come back to me
Oh starry eyes
Oh, oh [repeat]
Standing alone in the light
You could see her cry
With a smile and a wink
And a sparkle in her eyes
She calmly sighed, I will be all right
Okay child you've had to take the pain
Of a man in the streets
You gotta let me in
Needed a friend
Even just for one night
Oh, starry eyes
Oh, oh [repeat]
Oh no, oh no, oh no
Oh, starry eyes
07 Stick to Your Guns ()
Get a grip on yourself,
get in shape for tonight
Take a look at yourself or your dreams
you're losing sight
It just ain't right. It just ain't right
Hey man, look at me, I'm screaming
Are you watching me bleed, are you beleiving'
You got to stick to your guns
What's right for you, ain't right for everyone
Ain't right for everyone
You got to stick to your guns
What's right for you, ain't right for everyone
Ain't right for everyone
Too much too soon. too much for you
Everyday has a hero, don't it though
Don't let it go
You got to fight, it just ain't right Hey man, look at me, I'm screaming
Are you watching me bleed, are you beleiving'
You got to stick to your guns
What's right for you, ain't right for everyone
Ain't right for everyone
You got to stick to your guns
What's right for you, ain't right for everyone
Ain't right for everyone
Hey man, look at me, I'm screaming
Are you watching me bleed, are you beleiving'
You got to stick to your guns
What's right for you, ain't right for everyone
Ain't right for everyone
You got to stick to your guns
What's right for you, ain't right for everyone
Ain't right for everyone
10 On With the Show ()
Frankie died just the other night
Some say it was suicide
But we know
How the story goes
With his six string knife
And his street wise pride
The boy was a man before his time
And she knew
All their dreams would come true
But ya see, Frankie was fast
Too fast to know
He wouldn't go slow
Until his lethal dose
And she knows
He'll finally come too close
[Chorus]
Well, on with the show
Going on with the show
Come on baby
No, no, no
Oh my, my, my . . . [repeat]
He was bad
He was never good
But one thing that he understood
And she knew
All those lies would come true The time has come and
He's paid his dues
Suzy finally got the news
She always knew
This day would come soon
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
He was stopped on a dime
With a switchblade knife
Some damn punk went and
Took Frankie's life
And she knew
She'd have to pull through
Broken down, with his broken dreams
With a wink of an eye
Said Suzy, listen to me
You must go
On with the show
Go on with the show
Going on with the show
Come on baby
No nono
Oh my my my my [repeat]

By Mandrocker
Too Fast For Love (1981) is the debut album for the Crue, who, for their capabilities, create a small masterpiece.
The only flaw of the record is the recording quality, which is very rough and approximate.
By tonycool
In their debut album, the Crüe show all their cards: drug addicts, womanizers, alcoholics, and incapable of playing.
The overall effect of this combination of qualities results in a sound that was perfect for the '80s, it’s glam, it’s heavy, it’s metal.
