"Too Young to Fall in Love" is a Nikki Sixx song through and through: he wrote both the words and the music for this cut from Mötley Crüe's 1983 album Shout at the Devil, and he holds down the bass on it too. Vince Neil sings lead, Mick Mars plays guitar and Tommy Lee drums, and Lee, Mars and Sixx all pile onto the backing vocals.
They had outside help, and not the kind you'd expect on a record called Shout at the Devil: Tom Kelly and Richard Page came in as guest backing singers, and Paul Fox and Jai Winding added guest keyboards.
