Motley Crue - Shout at the Devil

"Shout at the Devil" is the title track of Mötley Crüe's 1983 album, and it's Nikki Sixx's song from top to bottom: he wrote the words and the music and plays bass on it. Vince Neil takes the lead vocal, Mick Mars plays guitar and Tommy Lee pounds the drums, and Sixx, Mars and Lee all pile onto the backing vocals, with Tom Kelly and Richard Page adding extra voices as guests. Paul Fox and Jai Winding sit in on keyboards, and Tom Werman, Geoff Workman and Bob Rock share the production credit.

What comes out is a gang-shouted dare of a record, the title flung like a challenge and the whole band bellowing it back, a chant built for the arena floor and the bedroom wall poster alike.
