The Collection: Ep. 29 - Motley Crue's 'The End' Box Set

This week on The Collection, we are talking the Motley Crue Box Set called 'The End'. This was supposed to be THE END of Motley Crue, the did a Final Tour, signed a contract and everything, yet as we now know, it wasn't the end. We are going to put that aside (okay not really) and talk about the Box Set. We will look at the albums included and all the little goodies in the set. I even say the name wrong of the Saints of Los Angeles album EVERY SINGLE TIME!! UGH!! See what city I actually call it. Come join the fun and see what is the Good and the BAD of this box set.

I hope you enjoy this episode which goes "live" 8 p.m. , August 19, 2024.

Snowman on the soapbox! All the points you made are truth! That box set is huge as in size lol. One stop Crue shopping here thats for sure. Maybe their next box set will be called "Just Kidding" and another reissue of the first 5 albums yet again...remaster the remaster of the original master. Something must have went down in St. Louis! Glad you don't edit that stuff out! Great stuff man!

I listened to Too Fast for Love when it came out. By mid 81 I was a huge fan. We went to get Shout the evening it was released. I'd moved on from them after Feelgood.

The Saints of St Louis was cracking me up! I grew up about an hour way from STL so I was actually envisioning a song, I think it'd work but I'm not the song guy so someone else would have to do it.

I have this box set. I got it mainly since I didn't have any Crue on vinyl so it scratched that itch. I do also wish they'd have included the other albums, those are either super rare or nonexistent on vinyl, but it seems they want to ignore that part of the band. I was happy with what was in there, but it would have been better if it was complete.

My box actually has some sun damage from sitting on a top shelf. The tombstone design was cool but it led me to put it somewhere it shouldn't have been and now it's a bit messed up. It's not a big deal to me since I'm not planning on selling the box but it does kind of suck.

Hi John...wow ! Great score ! I tried to get one back in the day but missed out. I have all the vinyl reissues except for Saints Of Los Angeles . I agree I don't get why those 3 albums were not included. I am hoping that they will get reissued soon individually. Very cool the cds are the 2003s that have the bonus tracks as they are hard to find now. I bought a cd boxset of the first 5 albums and they do not include the bonus tracks. Still don't understand the whole Mick Mars issue. I love John 5 but how the departure of Mick went down is very disappointing. Thank you John. Have a great week ! Chez

Not including the John Corabi album in the box set is a disservice to him and what he brought to the band. And yeah, they did Mick Mars dirty!
