Girls, Girls, Girls continued Mötley Crüe's commercial hot streak, eventually going quadruple platinum as its predecessor, Theatre of Pain, had; meanwhile, the title track brought them their second Top 20 single, and "Wild Side" became a popular MTV item. In general, the Crüe really plays up the sleaze factor on this album, trying to recapture some of the street-tough grittiness that fueled Too Fast for Love -- even appearing on the cover astride motorcycles and wearing leather; this time around, the influence of Aerosmith is felt to a much greater degree. The production is too polished to really give the record a raw, dirty feel, but the raunchiness comes through all the same. Again, there's a bit of filler, as though the band knew they didn't have to make a completely consistent record to maintain their popularity, but there are enough high points along the way to make Girls, Girls, Girls an entertaining party-metal platter. [In 1999, the Crüe remastered and reissued Girls, Girls, Girls on their own Motley/Beyond label with four bonus tracks: instrumental mixes of three selections, plus the previously unreleased song "Rodeo."] ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide

Girls, Girls, Girls is the fourth studio album, released on May 15, 1987 by glam metal band Mötley Crüe. The record features a more blues-influenced sound than previous albums[citation needed] and contains the hits "Wild Side" and "Girls, Girls, Girls". The record also reflects the band's hard-living lifestyle, and pays homage to their love of riding fast, large motorcycles, drinking whisky, and spending long nights at strip clubs. There are darker sides to the album as well, notably Nikki Sixx's song "Dancing on Glass", about his addiction to heroin[citation needed], and "Wild Side", which tells of destructive lifestyles and the pitfalls of decadence.[citation needed] The album peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard charts.[1] On the week it might have reached No. 1, Whitney Houston's second album, Whitney, debuted at the top of the charts.[2] Eventually, the group's 1989's offering Dr. Feelgood would go on to claim the top Billboard spot.[1] Members of the band have stated that if they hadn't managed to write two successful songs that this album would have been the end of their careers.[citation needed] This is because they were all fighting addictions to drugs and alcohol. Controversy surrounded Girls, Girls, Girls' third single, "You're All I Need," which, although a ballad, featured lyrics that detail a lover's grisly murder.[citation needed]
