Saw the same tour for $20 in Roanoke Virginia but it was ratt and poison

[@JacobDennisHarris8586]

COOL hearing about an Old AMC Gremlin, I learned how to drive in a 1978 Model Gremlin.

[@nihasasedit3080]

Hi. My name is Penny and I'm using my husband's account. I'm new to the channel. I saw Motley Crue in concert too. Omg it was awesome! Years ago.

[@TroyScheer]

Man, I miss those days. 81-91 was awesome. That said, Corabi was phenomenal.

[@keefriff99]

I was only 9 in ‘87…I wish I had been born 10 years earlier so I could have really experienced the ‘80s rock and metal scene. I wasn’t really into grunge as a teen in the ‘90s. I appreciate it now, but I’ve always gravitated more towards ‘70s and ‘80s music.

[@prs149]

​@@keefriff99Wish i was 9 then, not 23!

[@TroyScheer]

@ConservativeKirbyXIcKXI and that is quite alright. We all have our own thoughts.

[@stabheads]

@subifyouareagainstantifaan3928 shush racist

[@todddober]

@ConservativeKirbyXIcKXIIt was a completely different sound and vibe with Corabi. Not necessarily bad but definitely not the Crüe.

[@MyCamfan]

Being a teenager in the 80's (graduated HS in 86), it was fun seeing everyone wearing the concert tee shirts from the previous concert that everybody had gone to over the previous weekend. Man I miss those days.

[@bonedoc4556]

Class of 88 here. My brother was 86. 80s was the best decade.

[@timcloutier3729]

Class of 85 here. The "Rock" concert scene during the 80's was truly off the charts. MOTLEY CRUE, KISS, BON JOVI, IRON MAIDEN, JUDAS PRIEST, JOURNEY, CINDERELLA, DOKKEN, POISON, TWISTED SISTER, SCORPIONS, and so on, and so on. Wearing rock t-shirts to school was the bomb. 🤘🏻❤️🎶🎶🎤🎸🎸🎸🥁🎶🎶❤️🤘🏻

[@bonedoc4556]

@timcloutier3729 I saw all on your list. Keep a scrap book of all my tickets.

[@randywissler9923]

Also class of 86 here. Best music, best girls, best times!!!!!

[@SF-yl2si]

Those were good times!

[@cherylphillips1361]

I was in the 6th grade and the kid that sat next to me in math class was listening to music with his headphones on. I asked what it was. It was this song. I borrowed the cassette and bought my own copy the next day. I returned my friend his copy and he said "if you liked that, try this one" and loaned me Master of Puppets. A metalhead was born that day.

[@Jp421JP]

If you thought Crue was crazy, they admitted that Ozzy was far beyond them. God bless Ozzy and Crue. Great times.

[@Lamas746]

The Dirt (book and movie)

[@charlespeterson7502]

I went to that concert in KC. Ozzy and motley Crue 83 I believe.

[@javi5810]

They did say Motley Crue were the only ones 😂

[@Red5_xwing]

I miss the 80s

[@Justin_Dykes]

Tommyh Lee is a monster drummer and Mick Mars is very underrated and has writtten some of the best rock riffs ever!!!!!

[@66JesterDeath]

Tommy Lee and Nikki six is drum and bass, those two really played the beat to allow Mick and Vince to go hard

[@juanprc10]

Nikki Sixx wrote most of their riffs though.

[@juanprc10]

Nikki Sixx wrote most of their riffs though.

[@jeremybilbrey1133]

I saw them in '87 with Guns n Roses opening...it was debauchery at its finest,lol...what Burch is saying is so true about Guns....no one that i knew, knew who these guys were. I had heard the name because I had read an article in Metal Edge...and didnt know the first thing about them at the time. The were an insane live band. I look to that time as unforgettable time in my life....a badge of honor if you will....of seeing Guns before their rise of fame...I loved that Guns era...sleaze at its best.

[@donbergeson6771]

"It’s a recorded version but it's kinda live". Sadly, that's a perfect way to describe their concerts.

[@tweaked74]

It was more crazy than kids these days could even imagine. Lol. Crue and GNR were two of the baddest of the bad of that era.

[@tobycatVA]

This was Crue's answer to KISS having the drums on tracks, drum kit tank that drove on stage. Both were show stoppers.

[@capitalist1854]

I was front row at the same show in Lakeland. I was really pissed when I found out that White Snake wasn't opening. After GnR opened I ran out and bought appetite the next day also. By far the best show I've ever been to.

[@nicholastodriff9754]

As a 41 yr old Crue head this is easily my favorite vid from Flickering Box aside from Skid Row vids of course. Having Alexi's experience from watching The Dirt added throughout the song was a great way to bring it together. Great job guys. Thank you.🤘💪🌞🤙

[@davidnorth-martino]

I saw them in 1989 for the Dr. Feelgood Tour at the Worcester Centrum. Warrant opened. Probably the greatest rock show I've ever seen. Tommy Lee's drum kit was suspended from the ceiling! Then I went up with a friend to see them in Maine at an outdoor venue. I think this was 1990. My friend's car overheated and we had to run the heat (this was summertime) both ways to keep the car functioning. This show was very violent. Security was tossing rowdy people off the bleachers. It was crazy. Tesla opened. Both bands played abbreviated sets and we were happy when it was over. In the video, I though this was actual footage of Nikki Sixx getting hit by pyrotechnics. I thought it knocked him out. Not sure if it's true. But I remember hearing that back in the day.

[@ronsuper100]

What a beautiful time to be alive in America!!! 🇺🇸

[@erikhayes1]

I saw the Crue on this tour at the Day On The Green in Oakland. I was stationed at Ft. Ord, CA. A few things worth noting. First is that Emi Canyn (RIP) who was one of the Nasty Habits was from my hometown Tacoma. The guy who taught me live and studio engineering was Motley Crue's monitor engineer for the first couple of shows before taking over as the house engineer for Whitesnake, designed the cable rigging that allowed all the cables to wrap and unwrap properly when Tommy's set would spin. It was a great show, with Poison, and Whitesnake, as the supporting acts. Heathler Locklear was at the show, you could see her just off the stage.

[@jackmorrison4059]

Such a typical 80's ride or die to get to the show stories. Been there. Went to see Boston 3rd Stage concert with a flat tire. Didn't care, wasn't gonna miss it. Best night ever.

[@iggy9649]

I saw the Crue on the Dr Feelgood tour What a great show! Great reaction guys

[@joegreene7619]

I saw them a couple of times, but that tour was fantastic and Warrant was the opening act for the leg of it that I saw.

[@johnniecalhoun5381]

went to a Billy Squire concert at the Omni in Atlanta , a new band was opening act . It was Def Leppard , Pyromania had just come out . Most of the people there weren't there to see Billy Squire!!

[@bamacapt115]

I saw Squire and he had Ratt opening up.

[@bonedoc4556]

I was at a riverfest and there was this huge lawn and small amphitheater with maybe 20 people sitting around listening. I rode my bike to it and decided to check them out because they were doing a really good job covering Def Leppard. I get close and holy shit, it IS Def Leppard. I don't know if it was a last minute gig or the venue just didn't advertise but I got to see them free and front row, if there was a row.

[@andrewrose3019]

I saw Motley Crue on their Dr. Feelgood tour... in Hawaii. The Blaisdell Arena was notorious at the time for having seriously second rate gear... I saw Cheap Trick there and they were horrible using Blaisdell's gear, but when Motley Crue came they brought all their gear with them which was huge back then. The show they put on was absolutely electric from start to finish.. was just pumping those vibes the entire show!

[@garylagstrom3864]

I saw Motley Crue on the Dr. Feel good tour after being a fan for years at that point! As a drummer nothing was more kickass than watching Tommy’s Drumkit spin upside while playing WILD SIDE AND LIVE WIRE. BOTH ARE MY FAVORITE CRUE SONGS!

[@wantsome-zs5sq]

Tommy's kit didn't go upside down on the Dr Feelgood tour.

[@jamesklinski3890]

​@@wantsome-zs5squ are correct

[@m1a1hm]

Yeah it was a wild time!! I saw Motley Crue on the Girls Girls Girls tour and it was wild after the concert me and my best friend hop in his old 74 Camaro and we pull along side Motley Crue's limo and tried to get them in to a drag race Nicky Sixx rolled the window down and said light them up so we did a big smoking tire burn out right next to the limo. Man like I said it was a WILD time!!!!!

[@dustynhawkeye6838]

Glad to see you enjoyed this. Motley Crue and Iron Maiden are my favorite bands of all time. I discovered both around 1982. I first saw Motley Crue live at the US Festival before the release of the Shout At The Devil album and their tour with Ozzy. I was a drummer and only 12 at the time. I grew up in Southern California. My first ever show that I performed at in Hollywood was at the Starwood and it was Motley's last show in the clubs before going out with Ozzy. I can attest that the Hollywood scene back then was even crazier than they showed in the Dirt. I was a regular performer during those days from 82-89 and saw just about all of the bands that went through the scene. Either sharing a bill with them or just being in the audience. I don't know if Burch ever paid much attention to Hollywood club bands, beyond those that made it nationally. I would like to suggest you check out a band called Lizzy Borden. They had a few hits later in their career, but never really took off nationally. I would suggest you check out the song American Metal. You can find a live performance from their Murderous Metal Road Show which was released on DVD and can be found on KZbin. I don't think they did a studio version video, but I've seen lyrics videos for that song on KZbin as well.

[@user-fu8gq5xg5u1]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXeximOjaN2rbtk this concert?

[@BlackieNuff]

Hahaha, that spinning drum kit was all anyone could talk about following their show. The following tour, they had to of course top the rotating kit - what they came up with was a suspended kit, carried over the crowd. I didn't see the GIRLS tour show, but I saw the FEELGOOD show (in Winnipeg), so at least I saw one of the shows with the iconic drum kit rig.

[@chazzmichaelmichaels5766]

That's when concerts were a happening! The energy was contagious.

[@1976Cordoba]

Motley Crue at that time was a seasoned metal band at the top of their game - probably had 10 years or more of experience. They were absolutely one of the biggest metal acts of the '80s.

[@tonysorensen278]

Living through the 70's and 80's as a teen was the best time to be alive.

[@lawrencecollier1268]

I saw this concert in Wichita Kansas. We were just left of the stage when the drums came out over the crowd. G&R didn't open for them though. I believe it was Winger that opened for them. I remember when they did Home Sweet Home, Tommy Lee started the song on the piano and then somersaulted in to the drum set!

[@theoddfather5262]

Burch, like you, I went to that 1987 concert (but in Birmingham, AL) knowing very little about GNR. Had read articles professing to their greatness, but hadn't heard them yet. After their set I went and bought a GNR T-Shirt and went straight to the record store the next day to buy Appetite! That is forever in my mind a GNR concert that the Crue was a closing act for LOL.

[@jtscott3776]

My Girls Tour concert story is almost identical. Minus the car blowing up. Nobody in our group knew who GnR was. We were late getting there so we just stayed outside buying t-shirts until intermission lol. BTW Burch if she is fascinated by the Girls Tour drum kit, please show her the Cruecifly kit from The End Tour of 2015. That thing will blow her mind!

[@chrispredsfan]

Hey Burch. I’ll share my Crue concert story with you. 1987, Knoxville , Tennessee inside Thompson Boling Arena. I was 13 years old going to see Crue for the first time with three of my friends all 13 as well. We had seats 1-4 so they gave me the fourth seat so they didn’t have the “end” seat and I was the only one that wouldn’t know the person by me. About 10 minutes before G@R this group of 5 to 6 shows up wanting to come down our role. Coming in last of the group was this beautiful blonde well developed young lady. The group was around 17-20 years old. As soon as I saw her was like oh please sit next to me and to my wonderful delight she did exactly that. Now remember I was 13 and hadn’t quite hit that growth spurt so as we both stood I was right above her chest. So once it started she of course stood and bounced up and down a lot. I couldn’t help but keep one eye on the stage and the other on her. About half way through girls girls girls she turns looks at me and says “hey kid go home and tell your mommy what you saw” at that point she pulls everything up and well you know what happened next. I should say I was in an enjoyment shock and the three boys that didn’t want my seat was all of sudden trying to knock me out of it. Great memories of definitely a different but super great time.

[@inthenetsc]

I had the same experience. Saw GnR and Motley Crue in Columbia, SC. Never heard of Guns n Roses before that night. Missed the first half of their show. Was wowed as soon as we walked into the stadium. Then the Motley Crue show was amazing! The spinning drum kit was unreal.

[@mikemartin8747]

I was at that show, in Indianapolis at Marker Square arena. which no longer exists. they played Wild side 2 times. once for the video.

[@lancelathrop2255]

The only time I saw a ever saw an opening band blow the doors off of the headliner was Skid Row when they opened for G&R at the LA Forum on the Use Your Illusion tour. Just amazing.

[@danwilliams5867]

The look on her face was priceless. I'm in my 60's and HS was back in the 70's. So grateful that I grew up in that era. Such great bands and concerts that even hit small towns.

[@williamjamesayers7719]

I saw Crue with Whitesnake opening and that concert was awesome!!!! When they did this song live, and Lee's drumset flipped, the whole arena went nuts.

[@pamelapope859]

I remember Motley crew. Boy, those were the good old day's

[@AlwaysWatching666]

I grew up in the 80s omg I would have died to see a GnR and Motley Crue concert.

[@jeffg24]

Wild Side was filmed at the old Market Square Arena in Indianapolis. Fantastic night. Whitesnake opened. They played the song twice, once in the middle of the show and in the encore. They filmed both times. Telling the crowd that they wanted to make sure they got all the footage.

[@tbone1812]

my classmate was the girl in the blue and white halter top.....lol

[@tking1969]

I saw the same lineup with Whitesnake opening probably a few days before or after in Illinois. Girls tour was great but in my opinion I liked them on the Theater of Pain tour better.

[@willanderson5716]

I was there

[@RockFan89]

I last saw Motley Crue in 2011 and Tommy had a rollercoaster loop for this drum set and even took 1 fan for a ride.

[@OneThousandHomoDJs]

It was so common back then that I guess I forgot about most of it, but shows really WERE like a mutual admiration society, with the performers getting off on the crowd & their energy, and the crowd getting off on the music. It was like we all just had to go moderately berserk for a couple of hours simply to let off the steam that was generated by how much effing FUN we were all having in that one big room......

[@frankrizzo4460]

I saw these guys so many times back in the 80s and 90s such a great live band. Miss those days now more than ever before.

[@bonedoc4556]

Yeah it was the best. Keep the memory pure and don't see them now.

[@wilson2112]

Very similar story; We were on our way to see them on that same tour. I had just bought a 1970 and 1/2 Z28 a couple months earlier. We made it to Chattanooga. We were driving in the interstate when suddenly smoke started coming out from under the dash, then flames. The car completely lost power. I coasted to the side of the interstate, put it in park. I blew out the fire, and quickly got out to raise the hood. The top of the engine has flames all over it. I was huffing and puffing and trying to blow out the flames. One of the two guys that were with me yelled "It's gonna blow!" And ran up the hill where the other guy already was. I took one more big breath and blew. The danger started to sink in, and I started running up the hill. I got part way, when it occurred to me, "All my tapes are in there! And my stereo!" "I think I blew the flames out..." I went back and I had extinguished them. I was looking the engine over and I noticed that one wire had burned from the battery all the way to under the dash. One guy stayed with the car, myself and the other guy, Jimmy started walking down the interstate trying to find a way off. The problem, tho was there were 12 ft fences on each side of the interstate. We continued walking and a Tennessee State Trooper pick us up. He had stopped at the car and the other guy had explained what was going on. The trooper gave us a ride to a parts store. I bought some 12 gauge wire. He drove us back to the car. Told me my drive out tags were illegal as Hell, and said he'd check back in awhile. I rewired the jury rigged power line. Got in and tried it and it started right up! We made it on time, and got to see the whole concert

[@joedirt5922]

My first show when I was 12 was Motley Crue, Uriah Heep, Eddie Money, and the main act Def Leppard. In that order. Shout at the Devil had just come out. Cool memory.

[@fletchkc35]

I was an 80’s kid, these guys couldn’t get away with their lifestyle nowadays. Fun as hell!

[@jeremiahrose4681]

My wife's favorite band, saw them a ways back in concert and yes they were fun.

[@ScorpionHeatseeker]

My first concert was this tour, but Whitesnake was the opening band. The drum solo blew me away. When this video came out I was actually disappointed that Tommy's side to side then upside speech wasn't included. I was just 14 years old though.

[@anthonysmith-ll3iw]

It was very epic seeing Motley Crue in Kansas City back in the good old days! Please show her Cinderella in concert

[@user-rq9to5vn3i]

Motley Crue "Girls, Girls, Girls" Tour was a SHOW for sure! Burch is 100% right about the Tommy Lee Drum Solo, BLEW my mind!

[@nahnotsomuch2292]

The 80's was a great time to be a kid and into my teens. The world was far more fun then. No chance you could have 80's rock and metal like it was then in todays world. Which is damn sad.

[@FurandFeathers71]

Awww the 80s. Miss those daze. This song still pumps me up!

[@tonyard6063]

Loved her reaction. Our local area had a place named Hammerjacks, in Baltimore. I seen alot of bands come through there and there is a ton of craziness that comes with them. But it was all fun. I would not give it up for anything and would love to do it all over again.

[@restep9356]

You're right, Burch we were SO spoiled with amazing concerts back in the day! Memories are forever 🤘

[@ericcolon8561]

I was 16 , grandparents went to California , brought me back a Mötley Crüe shirt , red , all of them on the front , a huge skull with handcuffs through the eyes on the back

[@Army181st]

I remember this like it was yesterday, my young self ( I was 10 I think ) , I looked at my mother, the look on my face.....had to pick my jaw up off the floor. Amazing memory.

[@jamescobb420]

Mr. Burch. Hearing you tell your stories, you're telling mine. I was right in the middle of all that that is the 80's. Hearing you talk takes me back to my experiences. You ,me and millions of others had more fun then than a person should be allowed to have. My first concert was Night Ranger with Joe Lynn Turner opening. After that it was on. Love your channel. 80's ruled the world and not just rock,all genres. Later brother.

[@hellechristiansen2978]

Hi guys. Love your reaction. Been a big fan since the 80's. Just saw them on their World tour here in my country Denmark. And they were amazing starting the show out with "Wild Side" John5 was awesome, but I missed Mick. Love "The Dirt " aswell, but you should read the book, much better and crazy stories. Nikki Sixx was high on drugs when they made this video. He wrote a book about it called "The Heroin Diaries" sooo GOOD!! He has written several books and they are all amazing. Please do more Mötley Crüe songs. They are all on KZbin. Live Wire, Looks that kill, Shout at the Devil, Home Sweet Home, Smoking in the boys room, Without You, Dr Feelgood, Kickstart my Heart...and The Dirt with Mgk...and much more.

[@markpyle3710]

I had a chance to see them in Colorado at Red Rocks. 1987. And Whitesnake Opening. But I had to move back to Ohio before the Concert. But I did see them 4 times though. One of My Favorite Bands.

[@meltorme-ntor2933]

Bro, what an amazing story! To go to a Crue concert and have G'n'R opening??!! Epic! I would have been 21 in 1987, so the 80s defined me as well, and I was into this music. So yeah, I think we had the best decade for music. I'm glad there are some amazing heavy metal groups today, but I don't see the heavy metal tribes we had in the 80s. There was nothing like walking down the street with your long hair flowing, your skull and cross bones t-shri and your tight jeans to make a statement! 😁 Rock on! \m/

[@RLKmedic0315]

My Uncle took me to see his favorite band, 38 Special. I was not really interested in them but he told me the opening act was supposed to be good. "Some new band with a funny name" it was 1986. The opening band was Bon Jovi. Bon Jovi kicked ass that night. .38 Special was good, but did not have the same energy. I'll always love my uncle for taking me to that show.

[@brheinfeldt]

The 1st time I saw anything like Tommy Lee's spinning drum kit was a guy playing a baby grand piano that spun around end-over-end as it raised higher and higher at an Earth, Wind & Fire concert in 1975, I believe. "That's The Way Of The World" was the most popular song during that time for them. I'm convinced that was Tommy Lee's inspiration!

[@bonitasmith8880]

Dude, those were the days! Our music back then was so exciting and exilerating. We were happy and had SO MUCH FUN! The music now is like, "Whoa is me. Poor, sad, pitiful me" I'm Gona go hurt myself now. Geez. I want the '80s back! WAAHHAAAHAAA😭😭😭😭😭😭😭. LOL. I will never forget those days. Well, some of them anyway 🤣🤣🤣 I went to see Def Leppard, their first show back after the drummer had lost his arm. It was AWESOME! 9 OF us piled into a little two seater Mazda, which was a 4 on the floor btw. We were sitting on top of each other, the smaller ones of us got smushed in the floor with someone on top of us. The only one who had their own seat was my boyfriend, who was driving. When we got there, he had to get out and pop the hatch for the trunk, which was used as a back seat. I will never forget when he popped that thing, kids just fell out the back, like in Cheech and Chongs van scene.🤣😂🤣😂🤣 We had belly hurting laughs and had a great time before we even got into the concert LOL Like I said, the good ole days😊😊😊

[@TheMetalGBG]

I did see them on tour when they did the spinny drumkit thingy! If I recall correct Paganini (The band! Not the violinist) was support. Great times!

[@paulbyrne7617]

You can't beat music from this era!

[@ab3fan]

I saw them in Virginia, Whitesnake opened for them. Asome concert. Love your reactions.

[@lawrenceblack8968]

I saw this same show in '87 at the old Hartford Civic Center. The opener was Whitesnake. Probably the best show I saw during the 80's

[@bamacapt115]

I dragged some friends to see Crue but I was there to see GnR because I've seen Crue before. All my friends said they hated GnR... 6 months later when they exploded on the scene they all suddenly loved them. I had to remind them that they were the band that opened for Crue. Crue were good.. .but GnR back in those times were amazing.

[@krystallyn8351]

In That Timeperiod I Was Working Backstage Security At Our Music Theatre In Wisconsin, Alpine Valley Music Theatre!! I Was With Them From Soundcheck, Until An AfterParty For Doc Mcgee's Birthday!) 3:00A.M!! I Was Onstage With Them During The Show Seeing Everything You Are Watching Now!! A Forklift Pickedup Tommy's Drumset On A Platform, And Once Up, It Spun Around!! Incredible Show! Great Guys!!

[@djRockinChuck]

Seen Motley Crue a few.years.ago and Tommy Lee drum set was awesome. Going upside down. It was awesome!!!

[@toddlawrance4045]

Saw the Crue in 1990 on the Feelgood tour, Tommy did the drumkit spinning thing with the "I had a crazy dream" gag which went over well (of course); my first and only time seeing Motley, even having the flu didn't stop me. Lucky I was nineteen at the time, must've sweated most of it out at the show!

[@greglambert998]

I saw Motley Crue on the “Girls, Girls, Girls” tour at Nassau Coliseum on Long Island NY and the opening band was Whitesnake.

[@jmillz713]

Love your memory of your Guns and Crue concert.

[@chrisstone5868]

Hi ALEXIS!!!!! HEY BURCH!!!!! I’m a huge fan from Montana. And I just wanted to say THANK YOU!! Your show is WAY different from a lot of wood be reaction channels that are springing up like gold was just discovered again lol. Burch,your massive career around music, and massive knowledge of musicians gives all of us a lot of details other channels don’t give. They are just reacting to good/bad music as it comes across their comments. You give us and Alexis more than just music. You give us a history lesson every-time you post a song. So thank you for that Superior Stare of Mind !! Chris Stone, Billings Montana. Oh and if you could, could you do a reaction to ACDC’s-RIDE ON, DOWN PAYMENT BLUES!! Pleaseeeeee💙💙🙏🙏🫶🫶

[@markwilliams6394]

Saw Crue in a very small venue on the Shout at the Devil tour and Nikki was busy posing and the bass was still playing. My friend and me still talk about that especially with Mick calling him out for not playing live.

[@walterhennerman2061]

I was actually at the filming of this video. My friend actually won the tickets from KNAC phone competition. What a party night.

[@myproject13ttt]

When motley Crue first introduced the drum kit ( the first year )I went to the show here in Portland, Oregon, at the Memorial Coliseum and it was AMAZING ! to witness the drum solo with that magnificent piece of hardware, spinning around. I'VE SEEN THESE GUYS THREE TIMES AND I'LL TELL YOU! THEY DON'T LET YOU DOWN, WHEN IT COMES TO PUTTING ON A SHOW 💯💥🔥🤘

[@Mike_H76]

Most common 80's phrase "I blew up my Gremlin" 🤣. I got a flat on the way to Yankee Stadium for the Division Bell tour, nowhere to pull over, road the rim a bit too long ('81 Datsun 240sx POS). Happy to see some Crue on the channel! Kickstart My Heart or Raise Your Hands To Rock would be great... or Home Sweet Home if Alexis wants an iconic ballad.

[@ritchieburleson4130]

12 noon. I'm now 54 but I was at the same show only in Charlotte NC. Yeah it was fuck'n awesome. I actually played drums in rock bands in those days so Tommy was probably my very first drum hero.

[@marinemike1559]

My favorite metal band of all time! The original bad boys of rock n roll!

[@mentalityclips]

Imagine hearing Paradise City, Welcome to the Jungle, and Sweet Child O' Mine brand new and live. Then Girls, Girls, Girls and Wild Side brand new and live. That's crazy. Awesome story man

[@troychristiansen1755]

One of my favorite bands in that era of music

[@kirk1147]

Hi Alexis! Burch... you're freaking me out man! I saw the Girls, Girls, Girls tour and had the same otherworldly experience. However, I saw GNR open for the Cult in a 1200 seat arena around the same time. We were all, "Guns and what?" Around the same time I saw Metal Church open for Metallica on the Puppets tour in the same small venue. But for opening bands I had never heard of, I saw Bon Jovi boo'd off the stage when they opened for Judas Priest. But my favorite opening act was Thin Lizzy opening for Queen in '77. Keep the vids comin!

[@cydrych]

I had a ‘74 Gremlin that had oil pressure issues too. I was driving the guy who was going to buy it from me to the bank to get the money when it threw a rod. To this day it’s still one of my favorite cars. It had over 200k on it when it finally gave out and if I ever win the lottery I’ll have another one and have a concourse restoration done on it.

[@robertoconnell7211]

When Van Halen debuted, compared to most other successful bands, they had a 'raw' writing style and production. Then comes Motley Crue and they drop the bar down to almost primal values. It was an amazing time to be into rock. Most of the giants were still active, and music was branching off into various styles and splinter groups of those styles.

Love the story time! I have some similar stories from the 80s involving Def Leppard, Queensryche, Metallica, etc...

I never saw it for myself, but I remember as a kid hearing people in school talking about the upside down drums.

[@randycomerford2038]

When I went and seen them on this tour, I already had seen them twice on the previous tour, and Ive gotten to see them many more times(13 to be exact), and they always kicked ass...

Seen it happen in 2014 at BOK center in tulsa Oklahoma!! The drum kit was on a roller-coaster track that went half way across the arena!!! So so awesome!!!

Man, I love it when y’all bring us some of my 80s rock-n-roll! Just the memories of cruisin’ the strip on Friday & Saturday nights & clawing thru my cassette case swapping albums! The big hair bands were a staple for all of us, mixed with 70s classic rock like Boston, Kansas & Skynyrd. Last 80s concert was Poison & Slaughter opened for them. Just a fantastic show! 😎🤘. (Burch, you mentioned Lakeland…I’m not too far from there. I retired from active duty & am up in Valdosta. (Wife & I are going to see Def Leppard this coming year! We are stoked!!)

With Burch’s story, a showing of “Detroit Rock City” is needed for Alexis 🤘🏻🎶🤘🏻

Girls, Girls, Girls tour was a great show seen them in Toronto, Canada on this tour the spinning drum kit was wild and blew us away. OH man the after party after shows back then was just as much fun as the show.

[@mcgee227]

Yep, I saw a show in that tour. First time ever seeing G-N-R. That was the year I started working in the factory that im still working at. I was 20. 1987

[@emiliodiaz8082]

I was too young but man I wish I had seen this live. Good times.

[@MiguelLopez-is9te]

Loved your reactions! So many people think this song is a party song, the first time they hear it. Then they read the lyrics and are shocked.

All the explaining or the documentaries won't come close to experiencing this era in music lol, it was something completely different that will never be seen again. Great video and y'all are awesome.

My nephew is a huge Alice cooper fan at 8 years old, Loves Bill halley and Zombie, still working on the crue and others!

[@stevejordan9567]

I got grounded for six months for going to that show. Second row and it was AWESOME!!!!!! It was worth it. 😊

[@MT-us4ww]

I was at Market Sq arena when the video was shot. A guy I knew had tickets and needed someone to go with him, so I went and lost my job. Seen Motley 5 times.

[@DavidTrippi-fp9yg]

Hay guys so I worked as a union stagehand in the late 80s and I set this show up the drum came in on wheels and set up only thing the drum tech did was change the heads ,I was on state when they played,the stage volume was insane, great gig

[@IAmNative-px4mx]

That story you told about going to that Crue concert would make a great movie reminiscent of Detroit Rock City. If I wrote the script, I would take some liberties but everything you said happened would be part of it. Classic, man. Classic. Great reaction. You guys are awesome.
