Motley Crue - Bastard

Motley Crue performs "Bastard" at the 1983 US Festival.

[@ABandApart01]

Mick is criminally underrated guitar player, guy plays some RIIIIFFFSSS man! 🤘🤘🤘 lotta noise from just one guitar! Love it

[@BeemWeeks]

This remains my favorite Crue song! These guys killed it on SATD!

[@michaelfrazia4569]

My fave early crue song also

[@finaljesus]

I absolutely love Nikki’s bass sound at this show deep dry tone beautiful era

[@Coreisus]

yea that's called "replace your fucking strings"

[@leandrorobertosacht]

@@Coreisus Don't know how good they were back in the 80s, but BC Rich Warlocks have shit pickups and sound like shit.

[@Romeo_Blake]

@@leandrorobertosachtbc rich guitars are fucking brilliant, especially in the 80s. The 2000s saw a decline in quality but good stuff can still be found even then

[@leandrorobertosacht]

@ maybe the high end stuff, I own a Virgin NT bass and it doesn't sound that good. Building quality and wood are great, and it looks dope tho.

[@TheOnemanmoshpit]

Can't imagine those heels did Mick's back any favours

[@marshallmason1621]

TheOnemanmoshpit or the heavy les Paul he’s playin

Tht was so cool back then.

[@AdamSticksNTricks]

That riff is amazing!

[@DevilTigermoth]

fuck yeah!!!

[@1977raider]

I love how he starts off saying " we call this song BASTARD! Man I love the Crue and always will!

[@DreidMusicalX]

I was there brother, and there is no other like it today you are correct. But it was hot in the day there and cold at night. The drugs and alcohol kept us alive in between people breaking the water cannons. But this concert is something I will never forget in my lifetime. Its was a much easier time compared to today.

wish i lived in the 80s and couldve gone do this and experinced the whole decade and scene, theres really nothing compared to this nowadays.. :/

You're right.

IT'S ALL TREASURE dude. :D CHEERS!

Who is here to listen to Vince back then instead of now a days?

[@bobsilver3983]

[@Axel-tz7gz]

Everyone

[@horrorscope102]

They really gotta bring songs like these back into their setlists

[@PoetryETrain]

thank you motley crue

[@kylesommerville3716]

I swear the crue never seemed like they even appreciated Mick that much even back then. He is a fucking legend and an inspiration to me and many other people.

[@thebaddog4104]

They love the guy 6 has him tattooed on himself.

[@mr.lieutenant5955]

AGREED

[@jewellministries]

Sixx stomped a guy out because he bumped into Mars and knocked him over or something.

[@elaw2414]

Look at all the songwriting pairings, it's usually Sixx/Mars. I think they love the fact that the don't have to worry about him doing his job.

[@kylesommerville3716]

Yeah I was a newish Crue fan when I posted this lol and back then to me it seemed like they didn’t appreciate Mick as much. But years later I definitely see how the others really cared about how important he was to the band. Especially Nikki and Tommy.

[@alexandregabriel5357]

Love this ❤❤❤❤❤

[@afa78djd]

I'd like to think they (like many other artists) exaggerate their sexcapades a bit. I'm sure they engaged in hoards of orgies and debauchery and whatnot but, not as much as they boast about. We have no way of knowing really.

I always tell friends that I wish I was born a few years earlier. The pre-internet/cellphone world was so much better than this toilet era. Sorry, but technology can't recreate the sex, drugs & rock n' roll animalism of the 60s, 70s and 80s. Life was simple, sometimes raw, fun, and politically incorrect. LOVED IT! ♥ \m/

i used to think Vinces voice was terrible at this performance. not so bad compared to literally anything he's done in the last few years.

[@reeceschrock396]

The fact that it is 100 degrees I am sure is helping

[@davemoore2041]

Compared to what he’s put his body through and after all how many others singers can say that they have been performing as long as Motley Crüe and literally hitting all those notes like they did 30 years ago as Vince’s voice was his instrument the others played their’s! There is a big difference guys and no artist honestly sounds the same 20 or 30 years later as most peoples voices change with age just like rock stars? Just great these guys were able to entertain us longer than most others bands have for as long as they did.

[@rainbowspace994]

Way better than Vince Meal...

[@piedadstoffel5955]

Great concert

[@chriscampbell9191]

One thing that's cool about this -- aside from the obvious time travel back to 1983 -- is that they were recording Shout At The Devil during this time period. The album didn't come out for until four months later, I think.

[@jamesdonth4912]

Shout at the Devil was released Sept. 23, 1983 I was only 12 years old. I can now see why my parents were not pleased with me and my taste for music. Oh well, to each his own.
