Would be hilarious if Vince’s casino show in NY a month ago that was heavily panned was a complete ruse and he is on absolute fire for the opening residency show.

My dad had a couple spells after falls/brain bleed where he was pretty fucked in the head, and somehow bounced back to self sufficiency.
That would be cool if it happened to Vince, and he was, well, not on fire, but better than in a decade somehow.

Took my dad a lot longer than a month, tho

Yeah, I mean, I get that, ESPECIALLY around here, there's a lot of dunking going on for certain people (some more than others), but wouldn't it be nice for once if there WAS an improvement? It certainly would be a nice change from the "doom and gloom" that we're surrounded by every day.

The Carnival of Sins tour was awesome. Everything since then has been underwhelming including the Bowery Ballroom club show sadly.

But I’m listening to the new From the Beginning compilation now on Spotify. No denying these guys had the tunes. Put their Greatest Hits on and it’s just one awesome song after the next.

The owner lady is walking on the treadmill inside while Jizzo talks. Maybe she was calling the cops on him and burning off her pawg ass.

Saw some clips from tonight, Vince is a little better than his solo shows a few weeks ago, sounds almost normal … still moving slow but atleast he’s moving.

The next show he’ll do better.

Despite all the shit he gets now, Vince was actually pretty great as a frontman in his prime. This is just sad. He shouldn't be out there and Nikki and Tommy both know this. It literally looks like someone slapped a blonde wig on Frankie Valli.

12 full songs, a guitar solo and a medley? Fuck that's stingy.

John 5 was such a horrible fit for this band.

It’s about what I expected. Mailed in lights and video. Tommy is his usual humiliating self. The songs are just so played out.

I guess if you’re 18 and you really want to see them live… then maybe?

I think Vince wants to be there, it’s probably a recovery goal or THE recovery goal, etc. … obviously went to the Paul Stanley school of singing not singing lip-synching … it’s fine, he’s alive, getting better, probably the last Crue shows unless they do another farewell tour and I do NOT think any of them want to or could do a that tour … Nikki looks worse than Vince.

I watched some of it before work this morning and it was what I expected maybe even a little bit better. I’m glad they’re still out there.

I wonder if John 5 regrets leaving Rob Zombie?

This feels like Motley Cruel.

Kinda odd the small drum riser and overall setup. 12 songs is enough for Vince at this point. Looks like he’s trying to pace himself. No running from Vince or quick movements. The band did right when they picked the 2 dancer’s with amazing butts.

It's pretty awful. It has to suck when the only thing you know and your entire identity has been "famous rockstar," and you can't pull it off anymore. Don't these guys have enough money to sustain them until the dirt nap? No need to suffer through this or start a business. Just enjoy your twilight years.

Yeah. It’s probably the sobering reality that when they retire for good the next thing on the agenda is death.

Also when you are working since 17 for something and now it’s just sit on a beach for 10 years until you die…I can’t fathom what a person like that would go through.

To my peasant mind I’d say go exhale and enjoy your millions for however long you have left. These people just aren’t wired that way.

People think it’s the money or bright lights and there is some
of that but I think it’s just not being ready for what’s next and putting it off.

Vince would probably rather die on stage than a golf course or hospital bed. Tommy probably gets bored easy and it scares him to have literally nothing to do. John 5 should have just stayed with what was already good but now and forever he can say he was part of a Mount Rushmore band. Nikki I think honestly is just feeding ego.

I immediately though of Paul on the last tour. Going through the motions, but you know that mic isn't live, or if it is, it's like 10 percent.

Motley used to have some of the more exciting & innovative pyro displays. I scrolled through the show and didn't see any.

I went and watched some more of the full show. Considering I think everyone expected them to either cancel entirely or it be an absolute train wreck, I've got to be honest, it wasn't horrible.

Vince seems a step off, but also better than that disaster a month ago, and he's actually making an effort to move around. He's definitely not Don Dokken-ing it out there.

Definitely not worth traveling for, but if I was already in Vegas and the tickets were as cheap as was being reported, there's a lot worse ways to spend an evening there.

Yeah. It is clear that at least some parts of the lead vocal are pre-recorded. Although that is a mobile phone clip, it is clear that there is canned lead vox going.

On the other hand, that most probably have been the case for ages with Mötley (like with many other bands too). It is what it is.

They could not do these shows without pre-recorded stuff, so what can you do.
