"Looks That Kill" is a Nikki Sixx song from Mötley Crüe's 1983 album Shout at the Devil, and the credits show the band's four members all punching in: Vince Neil on lead vocals, Mick Mars on guitar, Sixx on bass, Tommy Lee on drums, with all three players shouting the backing parts.

Outside help filled in the gloss. Paul Fox and Jai Winding sit in on keyboards, Tom Kelly and Richard Page add guest backing vocals, and production is credited to Tom Werman, Geoff Workman and Bob Rock. It's a strutting riff built to stomp, and the four of them sound like they're sharpening their teeth.
