Theatre of Pain

Uncommon card · No. 124648

Theatre of Pain is the third studio album by American heavy metal band Mötley Crüe, released on June 21, 1985. Released in the aftermath of lead vocalist Vince Neil's arrest for manslaughter on a drunk driving charge, the album marked the beginning of the band's transition away from the traditional heavy metal sound of Too Fast for Love and Shout at the Devil, towards a more glam metal style. It received negative or indifferent critical response, and is poorly regarded by some of the band members. Theatre of Pain contains the hit singles "Smokin' in the Boys Room" (a cover of the 1973 Brownsville Station hit) and the power ballad "Home Sweet Home". It was supported by the Theatre of Pain world tour from July 7, 1985 to March 3, 1986. The album reached No. 6 on the US charts and No. 36 in the UK, and was certified quadruple platinum by the RIAA on June 5, 1995.
