[Anthrax442]

Well, you all have been bitching for 30 years that Vince doesn't sing all the words. Are you happy now?

[FreddyFender]

Mick Mar's spine deteriorated and he developed AS from years of carrying the band.

They don't even sound good enough to play Sea World on a Tuesday afternoon.

Vince solo > Crue now.... despite the Zakk Wylde pitch harmonics, this is way better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8igqS-jaNyI

[rockker]

Clearly Vince needs to put down the guitar so he can concentrate on his vocals

bahahahahahahhhahahaahhahhaahahahahahaa

[sirthx2]

Because I was such a Crue fan back in the day, I still have fringe-friends that reach out; 'You going to the Crue shows in Hollywood?' "ummmm, how can I say this? Fuck fucking no!" 'Really, how come?' 'Because they're a fucking embarrassment. Well, Vince is anyway.' It's like the old Vince, Janine (and friend) sex vid from the early 90s. Vince didn't put in any effort then, and he sure as shit doesn't put in any effort now.

[Spongie]

I can only imagine John must be being paid a fuck ton of money to take this embarrassing job.

[Whatever Happened To…]

Watched a few of the other clips of this. Absolute dogshit.

I really thought I couldn't think any less of this band, but the addition of John 5 has introduced an entire new layer of suck.

They've got to be the most shamelessly shit band on the planet.

[Zinny]

And the crowd goes mild…

[VinceVanLane]

The thing that always gets me about these clips, besides how horrible they sound, is how miserable Vince looks up there. There's no passion. Plenty of older singers have lost their voice or don't sound like they used to but they still look like they enjoy being on stage. David Lee Roth in 2015 Van Halen didn't sound like 1981 David Lee Roth either, but he still looked like he was having fun. Sometimes too much fun! Paul Stanley needed vocal tracks but otherwise he still seemed like Paul Stanley. Vince looks like there's somebody with a shotgun on the side of the stage forcing him up there. So when you see a band with zero passion or energy, it's like what's the point? Is he just that medicated? Does his body hurt from moving? Is he just bored out of his mind? All of the above?

[LAglamrocker]

Bret Michaels band is “absolute dogsh*t” that’s name of band also?!
I’m seeing Motley Crue Experience at Aftershock..I’m good with that. It’s like ride at Disneyland ..the Motley Crue Experience Tea-Cups!

[The Prez]

Tommy's playing is the only enjoyable aspect at this point, actually seems like it he's into it...which is hard to believe when he used to be the one who hated playing the same ol 12 songs the most!

[keyofgee]

i will take this any day and all day long.. it's raw, it's not perfect.. It's how it used to be without all the bells and whistles and prerecorded music piped thru everything to make it a pretty perfect picture. If you were 18 again, these guys would be the band to see, raw and without a net.
this is rock and roll..

I’d argue that you can’t go back. This works for young up and coming bands… hungry to pull you in, and living for the moment. Fat, rich, corporate geezers… not so much.

[thechefs2003]

How is it that I know the lyrics to these songs and the guy that's been singing them for 40+ years doesn't?

[Love_Industry]

You're not 63, dyslexic, depressed, five times divorced or spent your life being drunk or on drugs?

[Sleek]

I meannn, to be fair, the lyrics are awful, so it's not a big loss.

[Jason Jennifer Leigh]

From stadiums to this … same boring setlist.

Vince would rather be solo.

Is Leppard still playing stadiums?

[ParaDime77]

Agreed.

I saw the band played back in July and I thought he was really kicking ass behind the kit. All of the close-up camera shots indicated such.

Exactly what i meant…

Vince is the "odd man out", with Sixx and Lee "gooning over" John 5.
And.....that "performance" is Tuesday night VFW bar band level shit.

[Earl Skakel]

I saw the Crue 9 years ago at The Pond and it was brutal then so I can't imagine in 9 years they and really specifically Vince have gotten better. I was offered a tix last night for $1500 and $750 for The Roxy Show and I'd rather buy a leather jacket than watch this, I hope the money is worth it for John 5 whom I'm actually a fan of.

[MattleyCrue]

I’m enjoying the hell out of these videos and it would have been a blast to be there. I’ll always be a Crüe fan.

I’m sad Tommy isn’t twirling any sticks. I thought his hand was fixed so he could twirl again

This is SO perfectly what an "always Motley" fanboi would say.

Nothing raw about playing from a tape.

You think that dork has a line of 10k a month jobs to pick between?
Considering his age and profile, this is by far the best thing he could ever land. Even if it's the Worst Band In The Word.

[miserable]

That John 5 looks horrible in this band. Doesn't fit in Mötley Crue at all.

[Tommy2Tone84]

Motley Blew ‘81-Present

[Playboyliquor59]

I think I hate John more than vince which is saying something. I’m not really sure what Nikki wanted to accomplish with these shows but it isn’t working.

[DonJuanDeMarco]

All I can hear are the drums and they sound fine to me!

The guitar is thin sounding but anything is thin sounding compared to Mick's tone!

Vince seems super low in the mix.

I was at the Bowery Ballroom show in NYC. I was expecting a life changing experience, but it was really just a band playing a club gig.

As many people have mentioned, Vince seems unhappy with Motley and more fun when he does his solo shows. That's the biggest complaint I have.
