  • Chad Eicher from Apple Creek, OhioThat is one of the most horrific songs ever. It would be better if Motley Crue stopped touring for good.
  • Lg from BrazilIt has recently been played in the first episode of the TV show Hysteria.
  • AnonymousAwesome song.
  • Dan Gillespy from Courtenay BcThe title track to the best Motley Crue album. I love this song.
  • Anonymouswait so this ain't satanic right?
  • AnonymousAnd all these years l thought they were singing "Shout at the level". Glad to finally get it straight
  • Aaron Wright from Portland OrIt's funny that I recently read a dated interview with Sixx and he was outright asked the question "Are you (or is your band.. can't recall 4sure) Satanic (or devil worshipers)? The question came as a direct response to ShoutATD. Sixx answered by saying "No. Besides, the words are Shout AT the Devil, not Shout WITH the Devil."
    LOL... now we find in The Dirt a claim that the original title and lyrics WERE Shout WITH the Devil.
    Most bands from the 70s and 80s used this dark BS as nothing more than a gimmick, so (mostly) who cares anyway, right? But if you take all that's being pointed out in my post, it at least leads one to question whether it was anything even remotely close to a gimmick for The Crue (or at least Sixx) *In The Beginning* (pun def. intended)
  • Lucy from Slovakia"It has always been a song about pushing back..." F--king love that.
  • Mike from Washington StateThe Dirt inspired me to do two motley covers so far. As it turned out my Shout at the Devil cover is the best one up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nq5BTovNAa8
  • Jason from Aurora, CoLilyibanez,
    Who in the Motley Crue organization wasn't at that time?
  • Lilyibanez from Los Angeles, Cazutaut was probably on drugs..or not, who knows
