I can’t get over the fact that in Vince’s book he said he doesn’t like any of these guys but they need to stay together for the money

[@MrChrisStingray]

Ha! I love how psyched up Bully got for meeting the Crue.

[@user-hs4uv1fv1o]

John is the nicest guy in music and a spectacular player

[@therev_sungyungmoon24]

Well done Bully Ray hosting and interviewing.👏 I love hearing those stories like that. This had to be a thrill for Bully. Nikki Sixx is very well spoken for as long as he has been around and what he has gone through. John 5 is a genius on guitar. I love his instrumental covers of Metallica and Guns N Roses, and the one he did for Beat It by Michael Jackson with the Eddie Van Halen guitar work. Check that out for those who have not heard it. 🤘🎸🎸

[@lopear111]

Lmfaoooooooooooooooo

[@brandonshuttleworth8374]

Watching Bully mark out like he’s a kid again, while keeping it pro is the highlight of the morning. he Marked out so much that he used his real name. Haha. Great interview.

[@beamj1]

Masterful. Bully deserves an Oscar, Emmy, Academy Award, Wally , ETC( or lifetime Crue Tix). Nice work

[@JeffBisCamp]

It's So F'N RAD That John 5 IS In Motley Crue !!!! My Favorite Band of ALL Time !! 🤘😎🤘🌴☀️🔥🎸🔥🎸

[@colbyclayton8052]

I'm convinced all their concert tickets are comped.

[@moonchita6415]

They're all great, but God Vince I love it, he's never lost that joy and that smile that characterizes him, I love to see him and hear him smile 😍😊❤️

[@thedadyouneverhadchannel3544]

You can hear smiles???

[@moonchita6415]

@@thedadyouneverhadchannel3544 In Mötley's interviews, vince always laughs at something, It does not do so as when he young, but vinnie always has a smile or a laugh for something, it can also be serious, depending on the situation, I love that about Vince, his joy and his contagious laughter, at least for me

[@joelucas1017]

John 5, insane talent,as good as it gets

[@markkiss4126]

Great Talent!! But doesn't fit with CRUE , his guitar tone is so off from Klassik sound! :(

[@ChrisSztybel]

He is talented but absolute crap in this band.

[@charlestelk6526]

Yes he is a good guitar player but not right for Motley Crue. The quasi shredding in this song is out of place on a MC ?. And if this new ? song? whatever you call it is any indication - the band has evolved into a turd circling the toilet bowl.

[@symbologee]

He needs to focus on his solo career.

[@jimbo0411]

Great players don't make a Keith Richards, Joe Perry, Brian May , Angus in those bands that fit. It's the writing , style, swagger and gelling together.

[@hussard2062]

1:27 “it’s not different”, 1:53 “it is different”

[@XanderDrax]

lol.. I caught that as well. Not hating on the band or John 5, but they act like Mick was never there.. Sorry, he is there sound!!!

[@hussard2062]

@@XanderDrax yeah, it’s funny too cause if you see in documentaries or other interviews with Crue they say shit like “yeah every album is different” or “we change our sound on every album”. Makes me wonder why they didn’t just say that. Imo they either forgot saying that in past interviews or fans have been like “that doesn’t sound like real motley crue” so they’re trying to say it does. Nikki immediately seemed bothered by the “different sound” question and it’s definitely got something to do with Mick

[@user-og9vk2up5i]

You - are -boring....

[@r3bel383]

It's funny because Bully is part of the reason I got into Motley Crue. I remember Bully did a podcast with Jericho & Ziggler and just hearing the stories, how much they were marking out and how Motley Crues music influenced them really drove me to give them a chance and now I love the crue. Note: Bully does also say about the Hotdog story, after he got the autograph, Heather saw it and said "whow that's pretty cool" and kissed Bully on the cheek and Tommy says "Whow, that's better then the autograph!"

[@thebipolarbear1]

Anyone else have motley ink? The Crue is the stuff of legends

[@wilsonb1121]

That’s an embarrassment to admit

[@jeffg.3250]

Bubba looks like he's in heaven, as any rock fan would be. So awesome.

[@danielalvarado6161]

What a great and honest interview! How sweet when Vince says love this guys.

[@marksguitars5617]

Great job Bully Ray, great stuff. Love the Rock n Roll crossover to Busted Open when we get it. Thank you!

[@OttoNomicus]

John was like "I can't believe it, I'm in Motley Crue, after they all got old, oh well, better than never I guess".

[@craigjohnson9929]

He never said that.

I was at the Bowery Ballroom show and it was fantastic. Love that Bully is a die hard fan 🤘🏻

[@tylertherion3375]

Should of asked them what happened to the contract and the "final" tour. Or why vince doesn't even try. Or why they mime to backing tracks.

[@georgewitner8730]

Why why why who cares they still rock

[@symbologee]

@@georgewitner8730 Are you deaf?

[@tylertherion3375]

@@georgewitner8730 people will pay hundreds to thousands to see them and theyre not actually playing. Its a scam! It's not like the songs are hard to play either so you know they easily could play normally. Out of touch old men scamming their fan base for easy money because they know they can get away with it. Atleast mick had some heart and wasn't taking it...

[@michaellively9692]

Congrats on a successful interview Bully, your love for the band and the 'hot dog' story was a highlight.

The real soul there is Everyone. But Let’s accept that Crue it is alive, and them as well…they suffered a lot in the post life of the Feelgood record and even before, but those guys was, is and will be an example of hangin’ in There and still rock!!

[@thesunsnameissol]

I enjoyed this interview, but i disagree when nikki says that DOW doesn’t have a different sound and it could fit on DR Feelgood, this song does have a different sound and im not 100% convinced that it could go on Feelgood. Someone reply to me and tell me whether you agree or disagree; im curious to know everyone’s opinion

[@GymnasticsIsLife333]

I agree with you. No offense, but after seeing the videos and the song, it’s no good. Bully’s a great interviewer, tons of respect for them, but no Mick no Crue.

[@stephanea5364]

I agree, this new song as nothing to do with Dr Feelgood. Nikki lost touch with reality

[@armyguy872008]

I thought maybe a left over track from SOLA

[@steel_horse7570]

It would never have fit on Feelgood. As much I love the Crue i dont like the new song. I dont like the Disturbed sounding guitar and the solo is a shredding noise to me. Crue guitar was always bluesy Rock with a metal undercurrent - this sound is just horrible,

[@georgewitner8730]

He said it basically the same style as dr feegood, I like , very heavy and great garmony
