Theatre of Pain is the third album by rock band Mötley Crüe, released on June 21, 1985. 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 heavy metal sound of Shout At The Devil towards a more glam-rock influenced record, in both sound and image. During this era, Nikki Sixx even wore catsuits onstage.

Theatre of Pain contains the hits "Smokin' In The Boys' Room" and the power ballad "Home Sweet Home". The album reached #6 in the US charts, and #36 in the UK.

Theatre of Pain is dedicated to Hanoi Rocks former members Nicholas "Razzle" Dingley, who was killed in the car crash which resulted in Vince Neil's arrest.
