"Shout at the Devil" is a song by the American heavy metal band Mötley Crüe. 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 US Mainstream Rock chart.
The original version did not have a music video. However, the 1997 version did.
The song was one of several which conservative groups alleged encouraged devil worship. The song was re-recorded by the band for their 1997 album, Generation Swine, titled "Shout at the Devil '97".
The song's lyrics mention two songs by Aerosmith: "Round and Round" and "Seasons of Wither".
In 1982 the band recorded a demo version of "Shout at the Devil." The demo version 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.
