By the Numbers
Too Fast for Love is Nikki Sixx's album on paper: he is the credited writer on every track, alone on most and with co-writers like Vince Neil and Lizzie Grey on a handful. There are no covers here, so the entire record sits inside the band's own writing, the earliest version of the Sixx-led model that would define their catalog.
Too Fast for Love is the debut studio album by Motley Crue, first self-released on the band's Leathur Records label in November 1981 and reissued by Elektra in 1982 after the band was signed. Raw, fast, and stripped down compared to their later production, it captured the young band's Sunset Strip energy. Nikki Sixx wrote or co-wrote every song, setting the template for the band's authorship, with Vince Neil contributing lyrics to a few tracks. The album introduced early staples like 'Live Wire' and the title track, and its scrappy sound became a glam metal touchstone.
