Don’t Go Away Mad - Motley Crue

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   In May of 1990, Motley Crue released "Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)". It would become a Billboard top 20 hit for the band.

The database lists the LP version and commercial single version as being the same length, but there was also a promo edit that I remember running on the local Rock 40 I worked at, and that edit is the basis for the video mix (minus the video's traffic noise at the beginning).

The promo CD is  https://www.discogs.com/release/2256800-M%C3%B6tley-Cr%C3%BC e-Dont-Go-Away-Mad-Just-Go-Away 

The video (U-matic!) is  https://www.discogs.com/release/32064513-Motley-Crue-Dont-Go -Away-Mad-Just-Go-Away

If someone else has either of these, they should be able to verify length(s).

	Thanks to Aaron, I can confirm the promo length is exactly 4 minutes (actually 4 minutes, zero seconds, and 387 milliseconds... but who's counting?), starting note to final cymbal fade.
