1985 MTV Halloween Contest

I do not know if any more footage from this MTV event exists or not. Crueheads would love to see more of that performance. The boys look like they're having fun and probably a little drunk. The video for "Home Sweet Home" would be premiered in the ensuing weeks and would bring the band even more fans.

Mötley appears live on MTV for the first time during their Halloween Horror Show with live footage from the Crüe’s show at the Limelight Club in New York being broadcast to millions of viewers. MTV also runs a Crüe Halloween contest, where the winner Debbie McIntosh from Ohio and twenty-five friends are flown in for the private show, plus the following night's concert in Chicago, taking up the entire front row.

Crue Commercials Part 1

I'm gonna post all kinds of Motley video from now on, with a focus on the first 10 yrs & then stuff from their whole career because there's just so much Crue content nowadays!

Here's some Crue advertisements from over the years.

First, we have a TV commercial for the Motley Crue and Y&T concert in Pittsburgh, PA - airdate: July 13, 1985.

Next are some 1987 Girls, Girls, Girls era vids. A radio ad for the album (when it was sitting at#3 on the charts) & the TV spot for the MTV Motley Cruise To Nowhere contest [more on that at our sister blog HERE].

 

Here are some ads for a 1-900 Motley 

Hotline from 1989 before Dr. Feelgood was released.
