But... I get it... the "fan boy" in you just can't let go of the drunken mess that is Bach.

The 2 shows I saw this year were both excellent. That's not to say he has the same range he did 30-35 years ago or is as good today as he was in his prime, but he's certainly holding up better than his peers. Only other guy on his level that I could think of from that time frame who had actual range in the first place and still sounds good today is Geoff Tate.

There was a noticeable difference in his vibe this year, though. Maybe it's because he's bandmates with his son now, but believe it or not, he was likable. Came across funny and humble and appreciative of the fact that he's still able to do this after all of these years. Perhaps I caught him on two good nights and he's a raging prick the rest of the time, and perhaps he's always one drink away from falling off the wagon and turning into Mr. Hyde, but I was shocked at how mellow and happy-go-lucky he was considering his loose cannon reputation. Hopefully he can stay off of social media moving forward.

To answer the OP's question, I'd rather see Motley with anyone but VN.

I can't think of too many bands that are as devoid of integrity as Motley Crue is.

I reckon your son would have enjoyed them more with Bach singing instead of Vince!
