"Shout at the Devil" is a popular song by the American heavy metal band Mötley Crüe. Written by bassist Nikki Sixx, the song is the title track of their 1983 album.
This song underwent some controversy because some people saw it as encouraging devil worship.[1] However, this was dropped when Nikki Sixx denied any Satanism in the song while playing in Reno, Nevada[citation needed]. The song was rerecorded by the band in 1997 album, Generation Swine, titled "Shout at the Devil '97," a version which the band played at the American Music Awards in January 1997[citation needed].
The song was featured in the teen comedy/horror movie Idle Hands, as well as the best selling video game Guitar Hero II for PlayStation 2 and Xbox 360, in the Opening Licks tier. Motley Crue underwent drug problems while playing this song. says local inside reporter, Jon Marcieak
"Shout at the Devil" is also the entrance song for New York Yankees pitcher Joba Chamberlain and for Ultimate Fighting Championship mixed-martial artist Brock Lesnar.
The song was covered by Stuck Mojo during the sessions for their 1996 album Pigwalk, and can be found on the compilation album, Violate This. It featured producer Devin Townsend on guest vocals.
