Kickstart My Heart by Mötley Crüe: Guitar, Bass & Songwriting Insights
"Kickstart My Heart" by Mötley Crüe is a hard-hitting glam metal anthem from their 1989 album "Dr. Feelgood." The song features Mick Mars' aggressive guitar riffs and Tommy Lee's thunderous drumming. The intro riff is played using a wah-wah pedal for that signature gritty sound. Nikki Sixx's driving bassline propels the song forward, while Vince Neil's vocals add a rebellious edge. The track was inspired by Sixx's near-fatal heroin overdose, with the lyrics reflecting his adrenaline rush upon being revived.------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Kickstart My Heart" solo --- Motley Crue ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: [travis] Email: syn_gates_punk14@msn.com This is the tab for all of the solos in Kickstart My Heart.
