"'Shout at the Devil'" is a song by the American heavy metal band Mtley Cre. Written by bassist Nikki Sixx, the song is the title track of their album of the same name. The song charted at No. 30 on the U.S. Mainstream Rock chart. It was also controversial, as were many other heavy metal songs, due to allegations that it encouraged devil worship.
The song was re-recorded by the band for their 1997 album 'Generation Swine', titled "Shout at the Devil '97".
Demo version
In 1982, the band recorded a demo version of "Shout at the Devil". It was not released for many years until the 2003 remastered edition of the 'Shout at the Devil' album. The demo version features a different intro and has slightly different lyrics.
