The Theatre Of Pain album was released in 1985 by Mötley Crüe and includes a
cover of the Detroit band Brownsville Station's song called Smokin'In The Boys
Room that went to # 3 on the charts for them back in 1973. The band used to play it
just for sound checks and jams, and Vince used to play it in his previous band
Rockandi. Producer Tom Werman loved it and suggested it be recorded. This cover
was chosen ahead of Mississippi Queen by Mountain. It was released three days
later as the album's first single which became the band's first Top 40 single. The
Crüe were joined onstage in New Haven, Connecticut USA, by former Brownsville
Station singer and songwriter Michael 'Cub' Koda for a jam on guitar and vocals to
the tune on the Theatre Of Pain tour.
When Cub died in the early hours on 1/7/00 from
complications from kidney dialysis, his father said
he made more money from Mötley Crüe's version
of the song than he did off his original.

The band actually planned on putting a Brownsville Station song on the CD instead
but Motley Crue beat them to the punch. "Originally we were going to do "Smoking In
The Boys Room" but Motley Crue seemed to borrow that from us right before we were
going to record it. We used to play that in the clubs in LA as our opening song.Motley
beat us to the punch and slipped it onto their record first." Bret Michaels"
