I'm
Daniel from Sweden and
I'm 35 years old. You are looking at my Motley Crue collection! I've been
a big Motley Crue Fan since 1984. I even owned a Crue t-shirt berfore
I ever heard their music. -yes it's true!. I still remeber where I heard
Motley Crue for the first time. It was with a friend at a record store,
we shared the same headphones and Live Wire hit us!! I was a Crue addict
right away and that will never change! I mainly collect official releases
and factory made bootlegs.
THE
SORY
I
started to collect Motley Crue records around 1986/87, It wasn't planed
or anything. It all begun when I bought the Japan 7-inch single of Home
Sweet Home. None off my friends had it so I was a very proud owner. I
kinda had a competitor that had a couple off cool Motley records, but
Motley Crue was my band and I wanted the hole world to know that. I was
young and didn't have any money but that didn't stop me from ordering
Crue records, I once took a job when I was on a spring break from school
just to afford the Gilrs, Girls, Girls picture disc! My collecting slowly
started to grow....... In 1989 I had to sell 18 of my most precious Crue
records to afford a drumset [later switched to guitar] I was forming my
first band. [If I had not sold those records I had not been a gutarist
today] Some of the records that I sold I still haven't been able to find.
The collecting continiued until 1992, then it was kind of put on ice until
the reunion with Vince in 1997 [I was still collecting between 92 an 97,
just not as active as I used to] In 1998 I had this idea to put the whole
collection up on the web but I didn't know how, the only thing I knew
was that I was going to call it 'The Motley Crue Museum'. The idea was
growing in the back of my mind and in 2002 I decided to really do this
site. It was a learning by doing kinda thing, I guess it still is. All
the work with this site really got me into collecting again and in 2004
I finally got my hands on the original "Stick To Your Guns/Toast
Of The Town" single and that was a great feeling. At that point I
didn't know that in less than 10 months I was going to meet Motley Crue
at the Sweden Rock Festival, now that was unbelievable! To shake hands
with Vince Neil, Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee & Mick Mars and on top of that
get a picture with me and the boys! I find no words for that. From 1985-1991
Motley Crue was the biggest thing in my life and in 2005 they became even
bigger!
