Theatre of Pain is the third album by the heavy metal band Mötley Crüe, released on June 21, 1985 on the Elektra label. 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 metal influenced record, in both sound and image.
