wfuckinga Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 They are done years now.Their frontman suck bad with fat and plastic surgeries. Talking about GN'R?Anyone else hoping for an album or an EP or something before/during/after the Farewell Tour? Sex was great, I would love to hear more. I actually got the free download of Sex from Crüe, loved it so much I bought it on iTunes anyways.I just want a proper new albumPlus i just want to see MC with a proper Vince Neil (this means: when he can sing properly not like a dying out of breath cat)Generation Swine is a very underrated albumand that being said, Dr Feelgood is completely overratedGeneration Swine is complete garbage, the only good song is the 97 version SATDand Dr. Feelgood is a very good recordI enjoyed Rocketship as well, but yes, most of GS was shitMotley Crue were a great band for the type of music they performed.But they were probably one of those bands that you needed to experience first-hand to understand how good they were or what they meant to the rock world.Motley is like the girl that all the guys at your high school lusted after during your senior year.But twenty years later when you show her picture to your teenage son, he's like "dad, she isn't even that hot."And maybe her picture isn't really even that hot compared to the Kate Upton's and Scarlett Johansson's of the world.But he didn't experience her in real life like you did- he didn't hear her voice, see her personality, party with her and see how funny and smart she was.It's easy to look at Motley Crue and listen to a few youtube videos in 2014 and go "ya, they look gay and the songs are pretty cheesy." But in the 80s, these guys were pretty great. Has their music held up and stood the test of time? Naw, most of it didn't. But in the late 80s, they were as important as any other rock band out there.I understand what you are trying to say and maybe it's different in the US, but they were already considered 'cheesy' in the late '80s. Just like every other 'hair' metal band by the way. Not that I have a problem with that, cause actually GNR was considered 'cheesy' in the early 90s as well in my country. Just wanted to mention it. I don't want to call them 'important' as well, better use the word 'relevant'.Motley Crue were a great band for the type of music they performed.But they were probably one of those bands that you needed to experience first-hand to understand how good they were or what they meant to the rock world.Motley is like the girl that all the guys at your high school lusted after during your senior year.But twenty years later when you show her picture to your teenage son, he's like "dad, she isn't even that hot."And maybe her picture isn't really even that hot compared to the Kate Upton's and Scarlett Johansson's of the world.But he didn't experience her in real life like you did- he didn't hear her voice, see her personality, party with her and see how funny and smart she was.It's easy to look at Motley Crue and listen to a few youtube videos in 2014 and go "ya, they look gay and the songs are pretty cheesy."

But in the late 80s, they were as important as any other rock band out there.well fuck, that was awesomeThanks!I grew up in that era, still listen to tons of music from that era, have a blog about that generation of music, so I'm pretty passionate about it.*********MB - ya, it was different in the United States.In the late 80s, hair metal ruled the rock world. And Motley were one of the Kings of the era. Bands like poison and winger followed the popular trends.......but the trends were made popular by bands like Motley Crue. Kind of like Anthony Michael Hall in 16 Candles when he tells the hot chick that he might be a dork, but he is the king of the dorks.Motley's two late 80's releases were their most non-cheesy releases. Girls Girls Girls and Dr. Feelgood. The make-up and cheesy costumes were gone. Those are two pure hard rock albums, by guys wanting their music to represent them more than their looks.Songs like Feelgood, Kickstart My Heart, Go Away Mad, Wild Side, Girls Girls Girls......those are pure hard rock songs that don't really even fit in the hair band category.Your GnR comment is relevant, as there were a lot of bands that get lumped into the hair metal era simply because they were active during the time period. GnR, Aerosmith, and even Motley. TFFL was before the era even started, nothing hair band about it at all. Looks that Kill came out right when the era was getting started, but those bands were still considered more Heavy Metal than Hair Metal. Bands like Crue, Scorpions, Quiet Riot were popular - not Winger and Poison.Theatre of Pain could be considered a pure hair band cheesy album - I won't argue that.But their two late 80s albums weren't really hair band either - they were pure hard rock albums. Girls Girls Girls and Dr. Feelgood. Those were guys riding their motorcycles and rocking out, not guys in spandex and make-up. There is a huge different between Kickstart My Heart and She's Only 17 or Down Boys.Just for those who weren't around......Dr. Feelgood sold over six million copies, went to number ONE on the billboard chart, had four top 20 songs.......that's overall, not the "rock" chart. This album was huge.I will admit that they weren't a great albums band, but more of a singles band.For fans of the band today...........what did you think of the songs "If I Die Tomorrow" and "Hollywood Ending." To me, they were kind of a perfect combination of the two best Crue albums - Feelgood and TFFL.I like Hollywood Ending, but I prefer SOLA stuff more. SOLA, Mutherfucker, Face Down In The Dirt, Chicks=Trouble, Down At The Whiskey, Goin' Out Swinging.....all great songs imo. Saints is one of their best albums.

DR DOOM Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I'm amused, because I have always found Girls Girls Girls in particular to be a lightweight, bubble gum album as compared to the earlier stuff, and Dr Feelgood a bit the same (though both bring fond memories and are great "time capsules") 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metallex78 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I'm in the minority, but Motley Crue's best album is their self-titled 1994 album with John Corabi. Such a groovy, heavy, tight, catchy album that was. They actually sounded like a rock band that could be taken seriously. I even like a lot of Generation Swine too, just because they were pushing the boarders of their own sound and style.Would've loved to have seen a proper follow up to the 1994 album with John Corabi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerage5 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 There's a few dates already on Ticketmaster. And it looks like Alice Cooper is opening. Guess that means I have to see several Motley shows this year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerage5 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I really hope Alice still has a headlining leg in North America sometime this year, I do not want to see Motley more than once just because of Alice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I'd really like to see an Alice co-headlining show with Rob Zombie or something. I guess he probably won't do one of those tours this year if he's with Crue though...If the Motley show is similar to COS and tickets are as cheap as the last tour they did I might go see them "one last time". It'd be nice if Vince at least sounded as good as he did at CF2 (the closest I've heard him sound to the COS dvd). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have no gripes about them doing another co-headline someday.My local Motley show is one of the ones on Ticketmaster already - $25-140. I suppose I'll do 2 shows with cheap tickets, ain't no way I'm shelling out $140 for pit even if Alice is opening, most places you can get front row seats for him for half that price.

Black Sabbath Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Camden, if only to see Cooper.

Powerage5 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 With these prices and this over-saturation...I'd like to see this tour flop. There's two shows within an hour of me in between a secondary market and two tertiary markets. Seven shows within 3 and a half hours of me. Even if they're two months apart, that's tour routing at it's worst. Then throw in the outrageous prices. If it wasn't for the fact that this tour virtually cancels out any hope of headlining dates for Alice in the US this year, this tour wouldn't even be a blip on my radar.

wfuckinga Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 I was so upset last year, they had played Looks That Kill at every gig prior to my show, but they stopped playing it. Hopefully this year I'll hear that song Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I no longer appreciate Motley Crue. I might spin TFFL or Feelgood every once in a while for nostalgia, but goddamn...it's gotten so hard to give these guys even an ounce of respect over the last few years.
