I wish
Now, THAT would be news!
p.s. Let's hope it's an album!
And I like Vince - hung out with him on his bus actually. So I'm not a hater. But people have other reasons to hate Vince.
What other reasons are you speaking of? Oh that accident from 30 yrs ago, when he made a mistake that countless others have made before, but not been so unfortunate? Yes, by all means, let's hold that over his head until he's in the grave. Or maybe its because he's a lil overweight now, although i sincerely hope it's not that, since this isnt high school. Oh, i got it, its because as he's gotten older, he's started to lose his voice. How dare he....that has never, in the history of music, ever happened to anyone! Smh
"What other reasons are you speaking of? Oh that accident from 30 yrs ago, when he made a mistake that countless others have made before, but not been so unfortunate?"
Well... that'd be a start, Simply because Vince has never shown an ounce of remorse for any of his victims. He has always looked at it as he was being unfairly persecuted for just having a good time. It's not like he actually LEARNED ANYTHING from the experience! He was back at the Rainbow Bar & Grill getting shitfaced & driving the very next week. And... HOW MANY times has he been arrested for drunk driving since? 3? 4? Clearly, he is the rat who will not learn the rules of the maze.

This is nothing new. "Portly Crue" jokes were started long before they left the Sunset Strip. As for his voice? Losing it? It's not like he ever really HAD one to begin with. He just got lazy & doesn't even bother to conduct himself like a serious singer, who trains not only his voice, but his whole body to be in shape for a tour. Cutting out the drinking, drugs, & buckets of fried chicken should have all been in the plan, the moment he tried to be a serious musician.

However, I like his inimitable chipmunkian delivery, Ace. It's unlike any other and without it, Crüe just wouldn't be Crüe. Case in point, "Too Fast For Love". "Livewire" just wouldn't be "Livewire" without Neil.
And no matter how much "better" Corabi is as a singer in the classic sense, his voice is not nearly as unique as Neil's. But wouldn't it be cool if Corabi came out and did "Hooligan's Holiday", just that one tune, during their farewell show at Staples.
Even better, would be if Crüe got off their lard a*ses, listened to their own records again and rehearsed a set that mixed in more deep cuts to bust out of the same boring song list they've essentially been playing for the last two plus decades.
And one of the final songs should be their awesome cover of the Raspberries' "Tonight", which Ace was lucky enough to witness AND videotape for posterity at The Starwood in '81, their first real gig. "Home Sweet Home" should naturally be their last curtain call.
I'd like to see the Crue actually rehearse for a few weeks, and at least tune back up to "D" again, and play the songs in the right key. (They're all in "E"... Mick can only solo in one key) Everything tuned down to C just sounds like sludge.
And Vince? Please try to bleat out more than every 3rd word. Pretend like you actually care for once... Just for a joke, y'know?
As for "other singers", Nikki should've kept his pre-Motley one... Nigel Benjamin.

What buffoonery do you speak of? You mean in his 50 plus yrs of living, his 3 dui's? Thats hardly execution worthy. "Lack of remorse"? Im assuming you're blatantly going by hearsay here, unless you have obvious proof to the contrary. Next time he kills someone while driving drunk, then come back & see me!
"Even better, would be if Crüe got off their lard a*ses, listened to their own records again and rehearsed a set that mixed in more deep cuts to bust out of the same boring song list they've essentially been playing for the last two plus decades."
Now this sentiment i can get down with. Couldn't had said it better myself!
Wow, the butthurt is strong with this one! Im guessing either Tommy or Nikki(from an actual legit band) stole some chic from Ace back in the day. Yeah, im sure Nikki regrets making Motley Crüe a world renowned name. For sure, Nigel whatever his name would've made em much more famous & much richer! Lmao
Why on earth them announcing yet another concert is newsworthy is beyond me (even if it is the final one, still not "Big Announcement" worthy to me at all)???
I'm a hardcore fan, I've seen them live several times but when a band has pretty much been touring non stop since 2008 (3 years short of a decade ago) w/no new album to promote is ridiculously redundant. I last saw them in 2008 at the beginning of the never ending 'Saints Of Los Angeles' tour & (while they once again put on an amazing show) I'm completely fine w/never seeing them live again.
If they changed up the set list & added some deep cuts, I would be dying to see them live again...but...I've already seen them in the "prime" of their 7 year tour. I love the new theatrical elements they added over the years but it's still the same old set list...so I'll just wait for the impending DVD release of a concert from this last tour.
P.S. I still love Motley Crue, I just hate all the constant touring & only 2 new songs in the past 7 years...& I agree w/everything bkallday said about the mighty Crue!
And I once witnessed him on Sh*tf*cked! berating a cancer survivor to "Hurry up and take the f*cking picture!" when she asked to pose with him.
But I actually had some fun on the same cruise with Neil and Dana Strum when we were kinda messin' with him and he feigned half amusement (read Mona Lisa smirk), so he can be kinda cool sometimes, though I've heard he's more of a d*ck than not.
Whatever we can say about him, he's entertaining as h*ll!
p.s. Woodpeckerian! Hahaha!!! That's s way better description, hahaha!!!
And I hate to sound like a defender of Rita (she doesn't need one), but I have to say: the use of "grade A tail" has some contextual relevance . . . if put into context. But to backslide into the some dark region of your past, and then defend it by suggesting that offense equates with feminism, makes you sound backwards. A "scare term," devoid of reference, doesn't scare anyone. In fact, it make people giggle . . . like you are some freshman who just learned a new way to mesmerize your friends while you sneak cloves behind the 7/ll at recess.
Okay, I guess I am commenting on this post. My apologies. But what is it, exactly, that you want? A musical debate or discussion? A sexual exploits discussion (you are going to lose going up against some of the people who post here, who actually provide deeper details and history)? Just a chance to vent and defend the mighty Crue (do you get lil' chits for doing that or is it just cathartic)? All of the above, depending on how (or if) people respond?
Bkallday, you can't keep shifting the target because you don't like the fact that posters on here have good aim. More to the point (that they make and you dodge), many of us are truly appreciative fans of the Crue. We just provide more reasons and more reasoning to balance out our love for the Crue (as much as an idea as an actual, living, band) with our understanding of all The Dirt that went into making them into what they are now.
The funny thing is this: you make them into a lesser vessel in your rants. You want them to be (or hold) The Hammer of the Gods. But you reduce them to (apocryphal) mudsharks. See what I did there, bkallday? I made a sexual reference without reducing it to the level of my youth. And I didn't have to invoke some nebulous taunt (feminism = bad) just to do it.
So, again, what is your point exactly? There are no booby prizes (not a pun, bkallday) for fourth place at the somewhat-anonymous state fair that is posting on BBG. If energy is power, you are strong. But energy that has no direction just dissipates into the ether.
