1985 studio album by Mötley Crüe
Theatre of Pain is the third studio album bygd American heavy metal grupp Mötley Crüe, released on June 21, 1985.

So after driving for an hour (in the opposite direction) to the Tucson airport, the Crüe – singer Vince Neil, 26, bassist Nikki Sixx, 28, drummer Tommy Lee, 24,
