10 Best Hard Rock Music Videos Of The 80s
4. Girls, Girls, Girls - Mötley Crüe (1987)
This video was the epitome of everything people loved about '80s hard rock, and in the same token everything that was wrong with it. It was all about having a good time all the time, and that meant motorcycles, booze and girls. And scantily dressed girls at that... stripers, to be precise.
It now serves as a humorous reminder of a time and place that doesn't seem real anymore. Rock stars were caricatures, with giant hair, tight leather attire and an insatiable appetite for flesh. And, alas, girls were mere objects to be gloated over. Watching the Crüe in this video is akin to watching a group of drooling labradors fixate over a ball that's about to be thrown for them. You're not going to get a better insight into the life of rockers on the Sun Set Strip then you are with this video.
It was a stroke of genius from whoever pitched this as a concept, it's no secret that Mötley Crüe were notoriously difficult to co-ordinate, so setting a video in a strip club was a sure way to get them to all show up.
