Motley Crue

[Kilinahe]

They play the Blaisdell on December 14. Anybody going?

I'm seriously thinkin' about it.

Don't care much for their new material though. Hopefully they'll do mostly the classics.

Surprised they weren't booked at Anna Banana's or Pipeline Cafe. :D

Thought about going to the Eagles too, but I think it's sold out.

M.C.'s deposit would far exceed the total revenue generated at a smaller club. No, H.I.C. would be the smallest they would wanna do.

I'd go if I were there. I'm a 80s Glam Rock geek. I'll be back home a month too late for it though. :(

Not this tutu! However, should Raul Midon come to town...I am sooooo there! Kem, too. And, definitely...Joss Stone! I'll leave Motley Crue to you younguns! ;)

Wouldn't the title of this post make a great name for a local Pink Floyd tribute band? Me thinks!

Anyway, with all these big 70's and 80's rock bands coming in the next few months, this has me longing to hope that some how, some way a promoter could bring PINK FLOYD here! Man how that would ROCK! I'd be willing to pay big $$$ to see them!

And none of this Blaisdell Arena stuff.. let's talk Aloha Stadium! Like booked 3 shows solid, easy!

Any Pink Floyd fans out there, I highly recommend you pick up PULSE. A live concert video produced about 10 years ago at Earl's Court in London, England. Features David Gilmour and gang at their absolute BEST! Much better than Delicate Days of Thunder. Features all their work, including the entire Dark Side of the Moon cover, up to Division Bell. My fav' on that's gotta be Gilmour rippin out "Cut You Into Little Pieces".
ROCKS! :cool:

Yup, I'm going and also The Eagles.

As long as they don't do any of Tommy Lee's new songs they should be alright.
TOMMY LEE sucks( but so does Pam ;) ) as a solo artist.

So, how was it?

It was late and I was groggy, but I think I remember someone saying something about midgets and demented lesbian nurses handling fluid-ejecting marital aids... Guess that means it was a good show!

Ah. Here's an Advertiser write-up (http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/2005/Dec/15/br/br04p.html). Whee!

A root canal would be more enjoyable.

Here's Jason G's write-up (http://starbulletin.com/2005/12/16/features/story05.html) in the Honolulu Star-Bulletin.After blazing through "Shout at the Devil" and "Too Fast for Love," lead singer Vince Neil paused long enough to ask the Blaisdell Arena crowd, "Who was here the last time we were here?" Judging by the enthusiastic response, a majority had returned after 15 years for one more night with Neil and bandmates Tommy Lee, Mick Mars and Nikki Sixx. Only this time they brought their kids, and the show wasn't sold out.

I had a great time. Scrivener is a great concert buddy.

The thing about the Crue is that you know exactly what you're going to get when you see them. And they didn't disappoint. I would have been more surprised if there weren't strippers and midgets. When they played the opening chords of "Dr. Feelgood", I thought to myself, "A ha! The strippers are going to come out in naughty nurse get-ups now". And they did.

Vince's voice is really, really bad, though. He was never Pavarotti but he really needs a voice coach at this stage.

If he didn't have one early on then what you might've been listening to is irreversible damage. Just a guess!

[scrivener]

A more detailed review after I hibernate for a few days. I can't believe how tired I am!

Anyway, yeah, Vince's voice was thrashed, but then again it was the last show of an eleven-month tour, so I'm cutting him some slack until the next time.

[Pomai]

If you missed the concert, don't fret (even on the fretboard). The Carnival of Sins tour is available on DVD...

In the meantime, I'll be awaiting Scrivener's review in all its detailed, uncensored glory. I'm just shocked Scrivener actually went to that. Now that's what I call a cool sensei! :rolleyes: :)

you can see Vince's face lift scars from these seats!

I saw them twice back on the Dr. Feelgood tour, once in Long Beach and then in Honolulu when I came back home from college during Christmas break. Great show both times, but unfortunately Hawaii did not get to see the Tommy Lee's upside-down drumset hanging from the roof--not enough room in the Blaisdell! Looks like they brought more of a full show this time. I didn't feel like going this time around 'cause my hearing is not what it used to be and I've also been depressed watching too many '80s bands give less than stellar performances at Gussie Lamour's the last few years!

I thought the Motley Crue concert was pretty good after all despite the distorted sound. I too seen them back in 90' for the Dr. Feelgood Tour. About 80s band at Gussie's most bands don't have all the original members except when I saw Quiet Riot but that too had the sound distorted. The best Gussie's concert I seen was Dokken. I think many of us has hearing damage from all the years of rock & roll. The fans are now 20+ years older so no more radical concerts of the 80s when the place was drugged out and fights galore. Now the fans need to take Geritol and Rogaine.
