Ep. 319: John Corabi discusses Mötley Crüe’s “Hooligan’s Holiday”

When John Corabi stepped in as the new singer of Mötley Crüe in the early 90s, the band was at a true crossroads. As if replacing a lead singer isn’t already an uphill battle for any band, they also had to contend with radio and MTV’s move away from the hard rock and metal of the 80s. Despite the adversity they faced, Mötley Crüe entered the studio with acclaimed producer Bob Rock to create their self-titled 1994 album. In this episode, John shares the story behind the writing and recording of the record’s lead single “Hooligan’s Holiday,” as well as some hilarious and inspiring tales from a time when the band felt they had something to prove.
