Not too long ago, Poison singer Bret Michaels told the Arizona Republic that Motley Crue’s Nikki Sixx had said he was “really sorry” about derogatory comments that had been made by his bandmates in the past about Poison, with whom the Crue is touring this summer (along with the New York Dolls). Nikki quickly tweeted that he made no such apology, clarifying what he did say was “I personally never had anything against you guys as people but Motley just sorta thought you sucked as a band but let's give the fans what they want and go out and have a good time.” Bret responded that he doesn’t understand why Nikki continues to say “negative stuff.” “I don't know what the rhyme or reason is,” Michaels told the Birmingham News. “I like some of their music. Fans want the tour. I think it could be a great tour for fans if we could just put our feelings aside. I think we can have a great time.” Sounds like Funville backstage, huh? It's definitely rockin' on stage, though...check out this fan footage of Tommy Lee's un-freakin'-believable 360 vertical drum rollercoaster set-up. Now THAT's metal!

In the 80s Motley was a little better live but while Poison has remained consistent if not gotten better Motley has dropped off some. Nikki, Mick, and Tommy sound ok but Vince sounds like an out of breath fat 14 year old girl.
...here's a review of their show Tuesday...
The past 15 years have found the aging Crüe relying more and more on their stage set to mask the sloppiness of their live playing, and last night was no exception. Singer Vince Neil was a complete mess, forgetting lyrics left and right and getting so out of breath that he even stumbled over the lines he did remember. Nikki Sixx looked like he was going through the motions.

I love the band, but Vince is definately a weak link, and always has been. The older I get the more I get annoyed by his voice. I have seen the band numerous times and their set list has become so predictable that I will not spend money to go see them again. |

In my collection, admittedly, Motley Crew's only blip on the big radar is their debut. Poison? and the combined rest of both those band's catalogs is optional for me, at best.
