The Motley Crue album “Dr. Feelgood” celebrates 35 years—it was the fifth studio album by rock band Mötley Crüe, released on August 28, 1989.

It was a crowning achievement for the band in many ways. Musically, it was also the band’s number-one album. It was the first album Mötley Crüe recorded after they attempted sobriety and rehabilitation in 1989. And five smash-hit singles.

The Plan Is To Celebrate With A Feelgood Box Set

For the 35th anniversary, a limited-edition box set will be available on LP and CD, featuring the remastered version of the original album, rare demos, and live tracks.

The box set also features a 24-page replica tour book with never-before-seen and never-before-published live and behind-the-scenes photos, a replica “Dr. Feelgood” tour itinerary, poster, patch, backstage pass, live show handbill, press kit, medical envelope, and guitar pick.

The box set will include an extra deluxe streaming version, various styles, and colored vinyl, some with 3D cover art, a picture disc vinyl, and standard black vinyl.

The anniversary edition will also be available as a CD (remember CDs?) with 3D art and a standard CD. All variants feature reimagined cover art showing 35 years of decay.

Dr. Feelgood LIVE 12-01-89 Joe Louis Arena

One chilly night turned into a humid, sweaty night of rock and roll at Joe Louis Arena. I remember parking almost a mile away but getting into the arena just as Warrant hit the stage to try to warm things up for the Crue. Their great set, especially their song “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” got the crowd cheering loudly.

Motley Crue then Busted out with a huge stage show, which included backup singing nurses and stripper polls. The stage was decked out in green and had a huge light show.

The 20-plus song show showcased the best I had ever seen the band in concert.

Motley Crue: Their 5 Best Videos

• Honorable Mention: 'Too Young To Fall In Love'

  This is one of the campiest videos of all time, and we don’t talk about it enough. Make no mistake: This video isn’t good at all. Its plot makes no sense, but once you watch it, your brain screams, “Play it again! Let’s figure this out!” Great song, though.

• 5. 'Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)'

  When most people think of Motley Crue, there’s a certain “look” that comes to mind. They often think about the band’s full glam attire, hair, etc. No one thinks of the denim and black, Sunset Blvd meets Seattle image they’re rocking in the video for “Don’t Go Away Mad.” The video follows the narrative of the song, but the band themselves just look so different that it makes the video instantly memorable.

• 4. 'Girls, Girls, Girls'

  Obviously, a song about strippers and strip clubs should feature strippers and strip clubs. No need to make things complicated here, which is what makes “Girls, Girls, Girls” a classic video. Oh, and there’s an uncensored version of this video that we’ll let you Google yourself if you want to see actual boobs and the Crue.

• 3. 'If I Die Tomorrow'

  There’s no sugar-coating it here; this video is heavy. Set in an art gallery, various canvases come to life depicting significant dark moments in the lives of each Crue member. For Vince Neil, it’s the infamous 1984 drunk-driving crash that killed Hanoi Rocks drummer Nicholas “Razzle” Dingley. Mick Mars’ canvas shows him struggling with his chronic spinal disease, ankylosing spondylitis. For Tommy Lee, it was serving six months in jail after assaulting his then-wife Pamala Anderson. Nikki Sixx’s canvas, of course, featured his 1987 overdose when he was revived via two syringes of adrenaline.

• 2. 'Looks That Kill'

  Let’s lighten the mood a little bit, shall we? Is the “Looks That Kill” video campy like the aforementioned video for “Too Young to Fall In Love”? Yes, but you can at least follow the plot! Plus, that look into the camera from Nikki Sixx during the first chorus is truly iconic. It’s the type of breakthrough video that most bands at the height of MTV’s powers only dreamed of. 10/10, no notes.

• 1. 'Home Sweet Home'

  Motley Crue has a number of performance-based videos, as did many rock bands in the ’80s, but there’s just something truly magical about “Home Sweet Home.” It’s the perfect snapshot that captures the Crue’s concert dominance: A big, energetic show, wild fans and a sinful amount of fun. One watch makes it obvious why the video was in such heavy rotation on MTV.
