Anybody else bummed about their farewell tour? Sure America is covered pretty well with more than a hundred shows, but Europe got screwed over royally with just 3 dates, all of them festivals!! I was looking forward when they said they were gonna start in the US and do Europe in 2015, but when I saw the dates I couldn't believe my eyes. WHY???

I guess considering it's their farewell tour, probably the fee is just too high for some and also maybe the economy in some countries in Europe is quite slow nowadays

I've heard A LOT of people complain, I guess it's a decision everybody has to make on their own. I've seen them in 2012 with Slash opening for them (also in 2011 with Def Leppard and Steel Panther)... KILLER SHOW!!! Now that's something I'll never forget.

 

My girlfriend broke up with me that day in the afternoon, I went home, changed. Got on the train with my buddy and off to the show. First row, great crowd, band in a good mood (even the vocals, sure not great but considering it's Vince Neil it was tolerable) playing all the classics, I mean they have a great catalogue. That was definitely a good concert and overall experience / memory I have

It's been 10 years since i saw them. (wow 10 years! where has the time gone!?). Anyway, they were good. Great show. Can't remember who supported though.

I saw them a few years back... jeez, it'd be a while now - must be close to 7 or 8? Anyway, I loved it. Don't get to see stuff like that often here in Australia and it was a great night.

They played a good show here in Vancouver. Yeah, Vince can't sing anymore, but the rest of the band were spot on.

Alice Cooper opened, and was much better, though.

It's crue though. Surely they can still put on a show?

 

They are playing Munich and I'm sorely tempted. Alice Cooper support.

 

Well, I heard the y have Vince's mic turned way down so you can't really hear how horrible he is. They also said that Vince tries every second to get the crowd to sing the song lyrics so he doesn't have to. Also heard that the Statue Of Liberty moves around more than 63-year old Mick Mars. Mars can barely move on stage.

 

On the positive, I heard Tommy Lee's rollercoaster drumkit is killer and that Nikki Sixx still kicks ass.

Is it normal for bands to charge 1000s for gold/plantinum tickets? Mind blowing.

 

German tickets on general sale next Thursday. So I'm told.

Seems like it. What's weird is the meet & greet package includes meeting Vince, Nikki and Mick but not Tommy why is that? There's different presale dates depending what show it is I think, I secured myself tickets for the Dusseldorf show, if you have a a fanclub membership you can get tickets early so I just signed up :D

 

About Vince, I also thought that the crowd was singing a lot but I didn't care at the time, these are songs everybody knows the lyrics to so it was cool

Wembley Arena? I wonder if the 'snow on the roof' will prevent them from playing ... ;)

Not sure I want to pay £50 to see the Crue on their last legs :(

 

Weird to think I saw Alice Cooper, Great White AND Britny Fox at the same venue (albeit years ago) for about a third of the price ... man, I'm old!

I I were gonna see Motley Crue, first I'd have to invent a Way-Bac Machine and set it to 1983-84...

All you need to do is find a hot tub Fat Freddy. I have zero interest in seeing Motley Crue. Not because Vince is fat and can't sing. It's because the band is a bunch of narcissistic a-holes who continuously piss on other bands from the genre.

    • Heard this today. Awesome song. Huge chorus. 
    • Safe, but a nice song.  Did they name their band after a random HEAT song? 
    • Really good band, but haven't heard from them in an absolute age. Shame if all they're doing is a few covers.  The 'Bye bye bye' cover is killer.  'I want it that way' is a great song anyway, but their version is gold. Love that.  But just to prove you can't polish a dog turd, no one could make 'Thriller' sound listenable to me.  Amplified even more with 'Believer.' No Imagine Dragons song should ever be covered or allowed to be acknowledged that it was even actually recorded. Horrendous band and I hate the cover only a tiny bit less than the original, which is a tonne. 
    • Kickin' riff. This is a cool tune indeed. New album sounding promising. 
    • Doesn't do much for me. Not sure it's any better than what I've heard from the new BJ album... but I guess it's not too bad. Wouldn't play it again, though. 
    • Bit 50/50 on it, myself. I prefer the stuff on Mick's solo album, but it's not a bad song. That kind of solo in a Motley song definitely sticks out... but not in a bad way. It's cool. I dig. 
    • Did they actually break up? They were releasing albums annually and finally fixed up the production end but haven't heard from them for a while now. Always loved everything they released, personally.  Edit - yeah, 'Be Here' from 2020 seems to be the last album. Allegedly still active, but obviously no recent albums. Would love to hear them add to the discography. 
    • Released back in 2019 on vinyl only in most of the world, the only place it could be purchased on CD was Japan. It is finally available on CD to the rest of the world with the addition of two bonus tracks. One is the usual "bonus" track of a live recording of Go man go, and the other is the song Don't give up which was released at the start of the pandemic as a single. https://townsendmusic.store/product/140275?lf=035f179d9c80928d2d3b155fa72b0731 Follow the breadcrumbs to a sonic treasure trove with Alice Cooper's "Breadcrumbs" EP, which will be available on CD for the first time ever, featuring additional bonus tracks on this edition! Originally released in 2019 as a limited-edition 10" vinyl record, "Breadcrumbs" is a tribute to the garage rock heroes of Alice Cooper's hometown of Detroit. The EP features six tracks that showcase Cooper's raw and energetic take on classic Detroit tunes, including Suzi Quatro's "Your Mama Won't Like Me", Bob Seger's "East Side Story", and the MC5's "Sister Anne". It also includes the two additional bonus tracks "Don’t Give Up", conveying Cooper’s message of hope and perseverance to his fans during the COVID-19 pandemic, and a live version of "Go Man Go" from his electrifying set at Hellfest 2022. The album featured a star-studded lineup of Detroit musicians, including Wayne Kramer of the MC5, Johnny "Bee" Badanjek of the Detroit Wheels, and Mark Farner of Grand Funk Railroad. "Breadcrumbs" marked the beginning of Alice Cooper's homecoming, a journey that culminated in the critically acclaimed studio album "Detroit Stories", released in 2020. This EP served as a taste of Cooper's profound affection for his hometown's rich musical heritage, making it an essential addition for any devoted fan of the shock rock icon.   1.
