Tapes that kill

Yeah to be fair I think he is playing live but to a click so that the piped in backing vocals and a little rhythm guitar sync up.

But it you do that you lose the energy of a non click track performance.

The rest of Crue always complained that Tommy would change tempo often.

Yeah, I would have thought that too re: Tommy. From what I can see and hear in the clip, he looks and sounds like he's playing well enough along with the backing track after that pre-recorded hi-hat count-in.

Mick has a new solo album in the can. Ray Luzier plays drums on it. It probably would have been released by now if this stadium tour hadn't come up. It was going to be released, then the stadium tour came up, then Motley's people didn't want it released, then Covid, then the rescheduled stadium tour. Fuck. I hope Crue ends this garbage tour soon and Mick puts this album out.

LOL Was gonna post this. And we were worried about Vince. I would think Tommy, behind Nikki, would be the last one to mime...

Nice to see Vince lost all that weight...but I shouldn't be too harsh. After all, the guy only had two years between the tour's covid cancellation and now to do it. Fat useless fuck, although his vocals - assuming they are live - aren't QUITE as terrible as some other clips I've seen. Then again, it's the first song of the set.

Actually, it was kinda nice to see Mick Mars still alive and chugging along. Looked and sounded like his solo was live, at least. When I think about how Mars looked like he was at death's door nearly twenty years ago when the band reformed for that VH1 special and subsequent tour, it's cool that he's still going and able to tour.

I mean, fuck it. Let those motley meatheads keep grinding it out as long as they want to and as long as people wanna see it. What am I gonna say, that I haven't lost a step or two myself post-50 years old in my mundane, non-rock star existence?

Needs more dancers? Just replace the band with dancers and play more backing tracks! :D
