Released in June of 1985, Theatre of Pain marked a bold new chapter for Mötley Crüe – stylistically daring, musically explosive, and unapologetically street glam.
Fueled by the swagger of “Smokin’ In The Boys Room” and the anthemic pull of “Home Sweet Home“, the Crüe’s third studio album broke new ground while staying true to their hard rock roots.
This trailblazing album set the music and style template for many bands that followed, while the Crüe themselves continued to evolve and reinvent their look and sound with each album.
Theatre Of Pain was their first LP to hit the US Top 10, landing at #6, and became a global smash (#7 Australia, #7 Sweden, #5 Finland, #11 Canada, first UK Top 40 at #36). The album is now RIAA Certified 4X Platinum in the US and 3X Platinum in Canada.
The lead single, their cover of “Smokin’ In The Boys Room,” became their first US Top 20 hit, reaching #16. The iconic “Home Sweet Home” video was the most requested on MTV for over 90 days, leading to the infamous “Crüe Rule,” limiting videos to 30 days. The song recently hit #1 again — this time at US Classic Rock Radio — thanks to their new version featuring global superstar Dolly Parton.
The 40th Anniversary Deluxe Box Set is a must-have for fans and collectors, featuring reimagined artwork, the newly remastered album on color vinyl, a never-before-released 1985 Long Beach live concert (2LP), rare demo recordings (1LP), and a 76-page hardcover book packed with never-before-seen photos and memories from the Theatre Of Pain era.
