Theatre Of Pain is the third studio album by the American heavy metal band Mötley Crüe, released on June 21, 1985. Released in the aftermath of singer Vince Neil's arrest for manslaughter on a drunk driving charge, the album marked a step away from the traditional heavy metal sound of Too Fast for Love and Shout at the Devil towards a more glam metalinfluenced 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 in the US charts and No. 36 in the UK, and was certified quadruple platinum by the RIAA on June 5, 1995.
Theatre of Pain is dedicated to Hanoi Rocks former member Nicholas "Razzle" Dingley, who was killed in the car crash that resulted in Vince Neil's arrest.
"Save Our Souls" was used in the Italian horror film Dèmoni, produced by Dario Argento.
This and their 1994 self-titled album are the only ones not to contain a title track.
