Don't forget the hairspray, the spandex, the wide headbands with Japanese symbols. Yeah, approaching 50-something ex-alcoholic/coke burn-outs who have no education beyond a power chord. Who wouldn't want to see that? Screw the 80's. Glad I remember little about that bloated decade.Comment

Motely Crue? First two albums were good.
Seeing these two tosspot bands now? Not a fucking chance.Scramby eggs and bacon.Comment

I agree. No fucking way would I waste my time or cash on those fucking idiots.
Saw Crue on the Shout At The Devil tour. They were still a solid heavy metal band, but they went downhill immediately afterwards. Though I did like some stuff on the Dr. Feelgood album.
Saw them on that tour in 1989 in Kansas City and swore I would never see them again. Mick turned in the worst goddam guitar solo I have ever seen an arena act do in my life. Some people rant about how underrated he is. Well, he may be a decent guitarist, but that night he sucked motherfucking ass!Comment

I'd say that is the only reason why they are doing it. Seeing rock stars (no matter what band they were in) wouldn't be so bad if they had aged along with their fan base. The ones that survived and have success are the ones who did such as The Stones and Springsteen. This seems like a MTV-era scam to me, the whole riding the wave of nostalgia with not much in the way of new material.
Terry could be right, the 80's as a whole didn't suck but certain reminents of it do.Comment

Nikki Sixx seems more interested in his side-projects these days, and good luck to him. What pisses me off, thought, is the pure insincerity of touring with a band like Poison, who they clearly have no respect for - surely Sixx, Vince and Tommy can't need $$$ that badly to whore themselves like this.
That being said: this will not be as cringeworthy as Vince Neil on the ice-skating suck-fest....The Power Of The Riff Compels MeComment

In the 80's we just worked hard and played hard. We had fun. We dressed nice as well. You didn't go out to a club without dressing up. Look at the old videos. Very few fat people. The 90's and 00's were the real greed decades. That's when everyone went crazy on the easy credit and built all those god awful McMansions.Last edited by Nitro Express; 03-01-2011, 02:36 PM.No!

Oh it's a complete nostalgia trip. Taken for what they are (were) - a hedonistic party band - Motley Crue are worth seeing live. But why on earth they would tour with Poison is beyond me. They've spent years denying that they were part of that 'scene', this seems like an affirmation of it to me.

It was the funniest thing I can remember ever seeing in a rock show. We were doubled over holding our sides.
I saw it again on YouTube a while ago and it still stands up there with some of the best Nigel Tufnel moments but you really had to be there.Comment
