Twenty years ago, Mötley Crüe put out Dr. Feelgood, and to commemorate the release the band will be playing the album in full on their Crüe Fest 2 tour this summer.

That Sixx and Neil need to brush up on their own tunes, and that Heather Locklear, Aerosmith and more than one drug dealer figured into the equation. Get the full story here, and listen to the album while you soak in the old stories:

That album practically defined that era, as the band did. The Crue was probably the one band that alt rock people, metal people, punks (NOT punks in the joint), glam folks, even hardcore scene people said, “what the fuck, it’s the Crue. It was like 4 Keith Richards, but younger. I think it is killer that they are, in effect, bringing that era back for an hour or two because that will reverberate like ripples in a pond. The Crue are like a good merlot. They get better with age.
