Theatre of Pain is the third studio album by American heavy metal band
Mötley Crüe, released on June 24, 1985. Released in the aftermath of lead
vocalist Vince Neil's arrest for manslaughter on a drunk driving charge, the
album marked the beginning of the band's transition away from the traditional
heavy metal sound of Too Fast for Love and Shout at the Devil , towards a
more glam metal style.
Theatre of Pain contains the hit singles "Smokin' in the Boys Room" and the
power ballad "Home Sweet Home". The album reached No. 6 on the US charts and
No. 36 in the UK, and was certified quadruple platinum by the RIAA on June 5,
1995.
