You're missing the point. They haven't cared in the past because they have always put asses in seats regardless. When there are no shows because people aren't buying tickets, it's a problem. People WOULD be buying tickets if Vince kept his shit together. All the fat-Vince memes and disgraceful vocal videos have caught up to them.Wednesday 13 Fan wrote: ↑Sat May 31, 2025 7:34 amPlease... how many years have they had to get this straightened out?

But here's the actual thing... Mötley doesn't give a shit what Vince does or doesn't do. They know that the shows are garbage and they don't care. They never have, and they never will.
The evidence suggests otherwise. Vince has been in a terrible shape for a long time but they have still done arenas/stadium tours.sirthx2 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 01, 2025 12:47 pmYou're missing the point.

Tommy isn’t following Nikki or Courtney but following John 5 and Vince.
John 5 is following all members
Maybe the fellas aren’t getting along anymore and that is a reason why shows have been cancelled and they’re using Vince as an excuse?
What do you think?
I’m not following any of them if that adds to the conversation .
I am following Britney Spears though. I don’t want to miss it, whatever it is, when it happens.

I would imagine that the reason for lack of interest is that there is not enough demand for Mötley Crüe. The stadium tour was only three years ago and even after that they've been touring on and off. And they've obviously been touring on and of since...well, forever.
There is a zero momentum or anything happening for the band. Why people would rush out to see them now? No matter how Vince is onstage, that won't increase the demand.
Referring to Vince's constant touring and his reluctance to resurrect Motley, Nikki said in an early-00's interview that people aren't excited for Thanksgiving when they eat turkey everyday.VicStelly wrote: ↑Mon Jun 02, 2025 3:16 amendstand wrote: ↑Mon Jun 02, 2025 1:29 amYeah.

I think vince’s incessant solo shows impact the residency more than the other crue shows. My bet is residencies in Vegas get more hicks who won't go into a city for a tour stop. But are already co ditioned to drop money in Vegas. The problem is Vince has played their ShitHole County Boar Fest 7 of 9 years
To be fair, most of the people who attend Mötley Crüe shows have no idea they’ve released any new music after Dr. Feelgood. Let alone know about few random songs that dropped a year ago.Wild Obsession wrote: ↑Mon Jun 02, 2025 10:11 am Vince's perpetual indifference has always been part of his "charm"........
IMO, the addition of John 5 and and complete garbage they have released (The Dirt soundtrack, Cancelled EP) is more a deterrent to ticket sales than Vince's (lack of) performance.
A Vince solo show is more "rock & roll" than the phoned in production of a Motley Crue show.
