The Black Crowes released their first studio album, "Shake Your Money Maker", in 1990. Supported by the singles "Hard to Handle," "She Talks to Angels," "Jealous Again," "Twice As Hard," "Sister Luck," and "Seeing Things," the album received multi-platinum certification and eventually sold more than five million copies. Their cover of Otis Redding's "Hard to Handle" and acoustic ballad "She Talks to Angels" both achieved top 30 positions on the "Billboard" Hot 100 in 1991. The band opened for ZZ Top on a tour sponsored by Miller Beer, from which they were fired in March 1991 after Chris Robinson's verbal tirade aimed at Miller. The band launched its own tour that May and later took part in a "Monsters of Rock" tour in Europe, where they opened for Metallica, AC/DC, Mötley Crüe and Queensrÿche.
