Motley Crue then and now?
 

To anyone who's seen Motley Crue lately, how do they compare to their shows 15 or so years ago? They're playing in Jackson and I'm considering going.

They are older now compared to 15 years ago...

Seriously, I went to watch 2 shows from their Carnival of Sins show, one in Detroit and one in Grand Rapids. I think they were great. The show production was totally excellent, one of the best I've seen. The setlist was awesome, I have to give them that. They never change the setlist, so seeing them once is actually enough. I went twice because the Grand Rapids show was filmed for DVD. But I wasn't in the final cut! :angry:

Mick played great, Tommy was great. Vince sounded like shit a couple of times but overall he's much better than the bootlegs I've heard and thus he exceeded my expectations.

go there fcuking awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

micks guitar playing is a bit repetative, tommy is awesome especially when him and nicky talk to the arena for about 20 mins ,lol. i didnt have a problem with vinces voice i thought it was superd especailly with all the wear an tear its had it shows littlew signs of failing unlike jbjs.


go u wont regrett it!!!!

ps i must mean it if i wrote this much

its 1 of the best shows ive been they rock!

It is a very good show production but my only complain is that Vince cant sing very good and skip a lot of words and they use plenty of pre recorded vocals like in the chorus of Girls, girls girls you know the part GIRLS!GIRLS!GIRLS! and in Dr Feelgood "He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He's the one that makes ya feel alright" its kind of sad but the show is really great and the guys plays great but vince singing and skipping words and the pre recorded stuff is a let down...

I saw them in sweden during sweden rock. They were alright, perhaps not the best band I've seen live.

They were headlining a show in Oslo, Norway. They really kicked ass! Started with Shout at the devil, pyro, flames and cracy circus on stage. Highlights was probaly when they played "Home swwet home". They really got the fans going bananas. And Vince sounded better now then some years ago. Still screams like a cat:)

there like a watered down kiss performance wise

They're actually much better live than Kiss has been for the past 10 years.

yes but i mean the stage show eith the fire and pyro technics

i still would rather watch kiss though kiss kick ass

The last few Kiss tours have all been in makeup with the pyro and fire. I saw them twice on it. Motley on this current tour kicks the shit out of Kiss the last 2 times I saw them.

KISS in 1997 and 1998 blew anyone off the stage. I haven't seen them live since, but the gigs I saw where in a different league compared to anyone else. Only the Boss comes close.

Ice

When I saw Kiss in 97, they were great. I'll give them that. When I saw them with Aerosmith a couple summers back, they sucked. They barely moved and the band sounded like ass.

I'm a big Motley fan, so I'm a bad person to compare the two.

gene simmons = 57 yrs old

Vince neil err probably early 40's???

i think age comes into the equation if you ask me but i would deffinatley love to see kiss again last time i seen them was at finnsbury park they were awesome, motley crue are also good but i wouldnt rate them or their songs to be as good as kiss' live

Nikki Sixx trashing bon jovi in sydney
 

Saw motley crue in Syd australia abt a month ago.Firstly they were terrible.
2nd..Nikki Sixx had the balls to tell everybody to sit down,and then claimed this is what it would be like if u were at a bon jovi show.Is this guy serious??
The arena held 20000 people,but because motley hadnt sold the place they had to push the stage forward where the arena now held abt 12000 people.
To top it off,the whole entire third tier was empty and he goes on about bon jovi.
Maybe somebody should've told him that the last time bon jovi played in australia they're were 35000 people in melbourne,unlike there shitty performance with abt 9-10000 max

lol o yeh i forgot about what he said about bon jovi

tommy lee commented 'what do you think this is a bon jovi concert?' in manchester during the 'titty cam'


its all a laugh anyway wouldnt let it bother you
