About 15,000 people packed PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ on August 30 to see Motley Crue before the band leaves the road.
Motley Crue Reveals 'Dirt' Movie Details, Previews Final Tour & New Music
After 100 million albums, 33 years, five biographies and countless acts of corruption, the famous rock group announced in January that he would resign, while the quitting was good, and even signed a "cessation of tour "agreement that prevents you gather as Motley Crue after the end of 2015 the band was determined to do things their way - and it took no resistance as a personal rebuke - is ending its road history on their own terms.
The final offers six (x) reasons why you should watch the blaze of glory.
1. pyro Enough to beat the Terminator. Early in his career Motley was slagged as having nothing in their favor but cheap shock tactics as establishing pants bassist Nikki Sixx on fire with lighter fluid. That was a weak indication of what was to come: The band knew the early game great visuals that were crucial to his overall package. Motley Armageddon is signing with a screen size of the flames and sparks cannon that can make you think that the independence of the United States had just been declared. Once cuy pyro Sixx now uses his instrument as a flamethrower to casually spraying a pillar of fire through the middle of the stage.
2. The song list is gold. If you like vintage Motley, its apex hair-metal or post-millennium resurgence Crue will satisfy every fan of music and the enthusiasm with which it was delivered. Early 80's classic "Looks That Kill" and "Too young to fall in love" offered by "Dr. Feelgood", "Kickstart My Heart" and post-2000s "Saints of Los Angeles" and the band played nearly 20 tirelessly songs "Mutherf ---- the Year." - Motley came into this world kicking and screaming, and is proud to exit the same way. Drummer Tommy Lee hit his modest (by his standards) kit as if he was trying to punish him, and despite being hampered by a degenerative form of arthritis, guitarist Mick Mars still has full control of his deft fingers.
3. adults can unleash the rebel yell. When Motley played his hit quintessential "Shout at the Devil" (a show highlight heart pumping), thousands of mid-lifers were transported back to 1983 The reason why parents burdened by mortgages and car payments met to pump their attacks and shouting the chorus of defiant song is because, perhaps even more than when they were teenagers, center fans of Motley need an outlet - and a reminder that no matter how old they have, they can remain forever in the heart rebels.
4. This band would not survive. The explosive ending that was "Kickstart My Heart" could be an illustration of combustion drama (largely self-perpetuated) Motley has been from day one. Lethal overdoses, jail sentences, divorces, lawsuits ... the stories of numerous controversies have filled several biographies. Lee and singer Vince Neil both came out at various points, and their presence adds weight to the final race of the band. Most of the acts fail to end the day with all its original members represented; at least these guys can do well enough long for one more trip around the world.
5. But even Motley is not immune to hourglass. Believe it or not, the self-proclaimed thugs want their dignified end arc instead of a slow disintegration. Motley, which means the use of two light clad dancers spinning on stage; Mars have knit a face melting guitar solo; ripping the roof with "anarchy" evergreen strip-club "Girls, Girls, Girls" favorite "Smokin 'The Sex Pistols in the Boys Room", "and" Live Wire "and ending the night with its traditional end of" Home Sweet Home. "has never been warm and fuzzy, but seeing images of vintage band float through the giant video screens highlight how Sixx, Neil, Lee and Mars occurred in the 30-plus years of Motley.
6. Meanwhile, Alice Cooper remains forever. The Godfather of Shock Rock joined the Final Tour as special guest. At 66, Cooper said he has no plans to retire, and his stage show confirms that he should not. By custom, the Hall of Fame Rock and Roll full three guitarists, Halloween style decorations, a boa constrictor, a beheading realistic look and macabre fashion choices as a whole, as he gestured and postured their music dramatically. Backed by a very narrow band, Cooper received the party started with "Be My Frankenstein," "I'm Eighteen", "Poison" and "Welcome to My Nightmare." As he concluded his time slot with a performance of "Out of school," Cooper surprise ending was unexpected in its simplicity: instead of taking other reptile or bloody prop, the stage was bathed in a cloud of bubbles.
