10 Worst Final Albums In Rock
6. Saints of Los Angeles - Motley Crue
There's no disputing the power that hair metal had in its heyday. Despite some of the sillier fashion choices coming from the likes of Warrant and Winger, you could at least see that kind of over-the-top look appealing to the hard rock crowd in the late '80s. On the other hand, the worst thing that you could do is to take those glam styles and make them look recent. Enter: Motley Crue.
Make no mistake, this was the last real Motley Crue album aside from the one-off singles that they recently made for their Netflix documentary the Dirt. With the classic lineup back together again after a prolonged break, there's a certain subsect of Crue fan who may feel a bit short-changed by this final album. Hooking up with James Michael on the production side of things, the entire album feels like a SIXX: AM record that for some reason got the Crue seal of approval.
Compared to the other hair bands of their ilk, this is at least still competently played, with Mick Mars delivering a few amazing guitar solos and Tommy Lee still remaining his badass self behind the drumkit. On the other hand, the worst final albums don't have to have to necessarily be bad...they just don't have a reason to exist though.
