Quiet Riot at the US Festival '83 - Full Show

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Trying to decide if QR or the Crue sounded better (or worse) there....

[jhale667]

QR was always a way tighter band than Motley. Tommy's a great drummer, but Carlos and Rudy are better at their respective instruments than are Mick and Nikki IMO.



Of course I'm slightly biased...

[BITEYOASS]

I'd like to see Nikki Sixx play a bass upside-down. Rudy Sarzo FTW!

QR was always a way tighter band than Motley.

That's pretty much like saying that Richard Simmons was more macho than Liberace. You and me both could play rings around Sarzo on the bass, with little or no practice. Just listen to the fumble-fingered playing on that live Tribute album for any further proof.

[jhale667]

I've read Nikki's account of auditioning for QR, but Dubrow's recollection was... vastly different, let's just say...

[jhale667]

Frankie Banali is one of the best rock drummers alive. PERIOD.

[Kristy]

Frankie sucks balls.

[jhale667]

Prove you can play better or STFU, Krustofferson you failed male prostitute.

As long as you lick your fingers a lot and look cool, you can get away with it. Why do you think so many kids wanted to be rock stars? Rudy made it look like anyone could do it.

[Mr. Vengeance]

Motley was so upset with their performance they tried for ages to prevent it from being released. QR did pretty well.

[Hardrock69]

Frankie gots a good fucking drum sound.

Never got to see them live. Met Kevin once in the back room at FM Station. Saw Carlos play a club gig a couple of years ago at a benefit show.

Have seen Rudy a lot of times with everybody he has played for, lol. His fucking tone on this is ok, but has no fucking balls. It should sound like it is rumbling the fucking place.

After reading "The Dirt" again... Should they have ever had a career at all?

I need to read that book. I somehow think it's full of stories like,"We were so wasted on heroine that we would just piss on ourselves in bed and even shit in bed because we were too wasted to move." or "We wouldn't bathe for days and if you took off our leather pants it would smell worse than a barnyard. That being said, the groupies still wanted to suck our cocks and did."

[WARF]

Let's compare NOTES!

I think Motley Crue is the winner!

Well, sort of... One story includes the boys sticking their dicks in... Wait for it... Tacos. 'Cause that was their way of getting rid of the scent of non-girlfriend pussy. (The book never did say if they were ever introduced to the concept of water or showers...)
