Motley Crue's "Dr. Feelgood" just turned 30 years old, and as it turns out, the blockbuster record was the Crue's first they recorded sober!

After Vince Neil's deadly crash and Nikki Sixx nearly dying, the guys of Motley Crue decided they better live on the less "Wild Side." They got sober and wrote "Dr. Feelgood," which has some great songs, such as "Kickstart My Heart."

Long live the Crue! XO -Anne Erickson
