What was I doing March 8th ???
SEEING THE BRODACIOUS MOTLEY CRUE SAINTS OF LOS ANGELES SHOW !!!
It would seem that the ticket gods are smiling in my general direction. Thanks again to Donald from Boyertown WRFY comp tickets didn't go to waste. With the Crue were The Last Vegas, Theory of a Deadman and Hinder. I wish we could say we actually saw the Last Vegas, but, the hold up in line, 45 minutes plus, to be wanded and frisked meant we would only hear muffled parts of their show. By the time we reached our seats they had left the stage.
Theory of a Deadman was great. Not being familiar with their music, I was pleasently surprised. I will be buying their CD just for the song I Hate My Life. Awesome.
Hinder was much better than in Reading Austin Winkler's stage presense when not singing stil leaves a lot to be desired, but, at least he sang all the songs and didn't rasp through them.
Motley Crue. What else can I say? 25 years plus and these guys sound as good now, maybe better than, as they did then. Kickstart My Heart started the show and Home Sweet Home ended it. They kept it going almost non-stop in between. The Saints stuff sounds pretty good live and I think they will probably have several hits off of that album. It is a bummer that Mick Mars is so ill. While his playing does not suffer his exhaustion shows and at the end of the show he couldn't even hold the weight of his guitar to put it on a stand. A roadie rescued Mick and his guitar before they both crashedo the floor. The show ended at 11 pm and it was a long drive home. Oh and as for the boast that Motley Crue has the loudest show in the world, I have to respectfully disagree. From personal experience, Ted Nugent still holds that title. My earing was back to normal in a day from the Crue show, Uncle Ted was still whispering in my ears three days later.
