ALL of the cast went out on foot and sold tickets for the show. Vince just pinned the tickets he was assigned to sell on a utility pole, wrote ‘Vince Neil Concert-Free’ and said he’d just “donate” $100 for them. He’s SO lazy!

If Robert doesn't wanna do music, he won't.

Warrant is a Band that will be remembered for “Cherry Pie” but they also had songs like “Uncle Toms Cabin” which is a deep meaningful and great Rock song. Many Hair Metal Bands had great meaningful songs while also having Pop power Ballads. I can’t think of a single song Mötley Crüe has which is anything like what I described.

[@Metlhd313]

There's a good reason why Dokken (who I love), are relegated to clubs, and not just because of their popularity level (basically, it's Don's voice, he needs to retire before things get worse).

[@ScoopedMids]

Well, Vince also blows chunks and Motley still sell tickets.

[@dusty3913]

Marketing, marketing, marketing. And, a huge single like Home Sweet Home. That’s why MC survived. Having superior musicians (every member of Dokken) isn’t enough.

[@VirgilFisher-y8q]

@@dusty3913 Huge "singles" like Wild side, Girls, Girls, Girls, Dr. Feelgood and even the remix of Home sweet Home were all bigger than anything Dokken ever did. Motley had the songs, Dokken didn't, it's that simple.

[@dusty3913]

@@VirgilFisher-y8q Into the Fire, It’s Not Love, Alone Again, The Hunter, Heaven Sent, Dream Warriors, etc. But, that wasn’t even the point…or my point. Motley had a few good songs, but their albums SUCKED. But, the point is…they had a better marketing team and IMAGE. Truth is MC were all image. Tommy’s personal life-the famous video scandal only contributed to their name recognition and popularity. All style and very little substance. Mars was the only musician in the band.

[@VirgilFisher-y8q]

@@dusty3913 Yes, and NONE of those were as big as any of the songs I mentioned Which was my point. And you end with making zero sense, So Motley were huge in the 80's because of Tommy's "video scandal" from the 90's?? So now Doc Brown and Marty McFly are involved? More revisionist history, What's next Dio got a raw deal because of Ronnies resemblance to Rhea Pearlman?

I’m a little biased being a guitar player, but for me, Motley Crue is all about mick mars. Vince has a distinctive voice and I’ll give him that as being a crucial part of it. But those riffs by mars are what carried this band imo.

[@VirgilFisher-y8q]

Like him or not Sixx is what carried Motley, He wrote 90% of the music and 99% of the lyrics, Micks Solo album finally came out and every song on that even sounded like throw aways from a Sixx AM album.

[@Retro-2-now]

Nikki Sixx didn’t carry a diary around while he was strung out. He actually just scribbled on random pieces of paper and yes, a lot of addicts do this.

[@markminton9053]

I like a few songs, but they tried to be celebrities more than musicians. I saw the Tommy Lee Band try and cover for Drowning Pool, after Dave Williams died. at one of the Ozzfests in the 2000s. After desperately begging the crowd to get up out of their seats, Tommy asked the ultimate inferiority question, "How are we doing?". Rob Zombie came on next, and the people were on their feet.

[@bookbm]

What a coincidence. Rob Zombie uses backing tracks as well

[@Imperialmusicfan]

It's kinda amazing (and sad) how they have completed ignored the 1994 album for 30 years....best thing any of them ever did and they have never even gotten close to releasing anything as good since then. i know Corabi was only in the band for a couple of years and Vince could never sing any of that stuff but still...shame they couldn't at least do the off show here or there and play some of those songs live.

Old Man Storytime: (And by "Old" I mean I spent my teenage years in the 1980s) My first concert was KISS in '78, my dad and I hated them but his girlfriend loved them, my dad was into classic metal and NWOBHM and it rubbed off on me, I was into thrash, death, power. speed and anything metal, I never liked the glam scene in the 80s but I liked Dokken and Skid Row, GnR's first album was groundbreaking with the perfect amount of cowbell. My girlfriend throughout most of high school, I married her after graduation, loved hair bands so I had to take her to see Motley Crue, Bon Jovi, Poison etc. a few times, yet she never wanted to go to thrash metal shows with me except Metallica/Metal Church on Halloween in Vancouver 1986. What makes me hate Nikki Sixx as much as I hate Gene Simmons is that I wanted to name our son Nicko after Iron Maiden's drummer and a huge influence on me as a drummer, she filled out the birth certificate paperwork while I wasn't there and named him Nikki, my son hated it, called it a stripper name, changed it when he turned 18 to Billy Marks, he's a rapper, has a YT channel.
