Daniel from Sweden and
I'm 37 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. My collection
is about quality, 95% of my records are in top shape! |

I started
to collect Motley Crue records around 1986. 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!

22 years as a diehard Motley Crue fan I finally got to meet the band
backstage at the Sweden Rock Festival on June 11 2005. -I'll never
forget that night.
-Thank you Motley Crue!

Found
some pictures from the Roskilde Festival.
I stood in the very front, right against the fence, The pressure from
the crowd behind was insane. I could not reach my pocket for my earplugs.
I was close to deaf after the show, but what a show! At the time I was
in heaven. I caught Tommy's drumstick that night -YES!!!!
