Shares in backing tape companies set to go through the roof

If Steve Stevens were playing, maybe...

Maybe.

I'd be quite interested in seeing Steve Stevens play live, but if the context is a Vince Neil solo set circa 2019...the term 'mixed bag' comes to mind.

I'd go see a Billy Idol show with Stevens back in the lineup pretty much without reservation/hesitation. Mostly because I still get enjoyment out of the Rebel Yell and Whiplash Smile material, whereas I'm not particularly interested in seeing Stevens play Vince Neil solo material or Motley Crue songs.

I'd tend to have doubts this trio will be able to fill stadiums, because none of them (far as I can remember) really have before on the strength of their individual groups.

All tickets to the Miller Park show are sold out. That's 50k. I was stunned.

It's nuts and the only thing that makes sense is that The Dirt has raised them back into public consciousness and stadia in the same way The Osbournes did.

Yep. Brilliant marketing. Cuz if the movie was true to the book, it would have shown them out to be the scummy shitheads they really were/are. It glossed over or completely ignored some of the more serious/disturbing stories from the book.

Cheapest seats were $59 plus fees. And there were not many of those. So, the average ticket price has to be ~$150. Raking it in.

Again same as The Osbournes where Sharon had final say on edits which must have involved taking out a lot of her cuntery.

For me, what Lee and Mars did performance-wise on the records was the most interesting part of Motley Crue,

To be fair some of their offstage musicians are decent.

Vince Neil is playing the MGM casino here. Got an email today that says tickets are on sale for $19.81. I am LOL

And today I see the Vince Neil show has been canceled.

"Due to what a press release describes as “circumstances beyond the artist’s control,” Mötley Crüe’s Vince Neil has cancelled his concert scheduled for Friday, Jan. 10, at MGM Northfield Park — Center Stage."

I guess no one wanted the sub-$20 tickets, either.

All tickets to the Miller Park show are sold out. That's 50k. I was stunned.

I see they've added Joan Jett to the bill, and the first two Florida venues on the tour are a Miami stadium gig and an Orlando stadium gig pretty close together date-wise, and both those stadiums hold 65k. Have no idea if they've sold out yet, but I guess it's possible: I'm surprised they sold out the 50k Miller Park gig.

Big Mac $1.03.

To be fair a Big Mac isn't the worst thing you could have at a fast food place - 540 calories.

This assumes Chubsy is restricting the order to solely one Big Mac...

Using younger actors to stand in for you in your official videos seems like a new low.

[twonabomber]

Vince Neil wasn't the first member of Crue to fail. Tommy Lee broke four ribs a couple weeks ago and played part of the set opening night before handing the sticks over to Tommy Cuefetos from Ozzy's band.

Big Mac...$1.03...

...Booty call is not a good time...

I'm so glad your generation is starting to die off.

What’s happening to Mick Mars? He looks like a ghost. A cave dweller.

I was never a Motley fan so to speak, but nowadays it’s nice to hear some of their 80’s rock.

But god do I hate to hear Home Sweet Home and the sickly piano.
