Holy Cow - Look At The Crowd For Motley Crue!

The World Tour with Motley Crue and Def Leppard stopped in Mexico City over the weekend. Motley singer Vince Neil posted some photos of the show and the crowd. I actually did a double-take when I saw the crowd photos. The amount of people that attended the show was massive.

The bands played at Foro Sol Stadium which holds 65,000 people. I do not know if the show was sold out or not, but there is no doubt that tens of thousands of folks attended.

New Vinyl Haul! How About You?

I was (finally!) feeling well enough to leave the house last night for the first time in what felt like forever. I went out to eat and also to a famous little store near Cincinnati called Plaid Room Records. A good photo of the place is below (and some Bengals tweets because they have a partnership with Plaid Room, so you can actually see the inside of the shop in the moving video).

Anyway, I got a nice haul of new records last night including the famed 2011 remaster of Fleetwood Mac's Rumours, Notorious B.I.G. Life After Death, the remaster of Def Leppard's wonderful and underrated Retro Activ and Ice Nine Kill's Welcome To Horrorwood on VHS black vinyl (that's just one of the special editions available).

I'm pretty stoked for all these new records and to keep adding to my collection. I am really excited to listen to the Fleetwood Mac. It's supposed to be the most pristine of all the pressings - even better than the original! I wonder if it can compete with the sound of the remastered Steely Dan Can't Buy A Thrill? Because that is one album that sounds amazing on my player. Another album I have that just cooks is the remaster, re-issue of Def Leppard's Hysteria. My Glam, the sound on it is just majestic. Anyone else buy any cool new records lately?

Joe Elliott Guests On Ghost Track, 'Spillways'

Def Leppard frontman Joe Elliott is a big fan of Ghost. He's taken that fandom to a new level and now appears on the track "Spillways" with the band. "Spillways" is on Ghost's album Impera. The version featuring Joe Elliott is new and also happens to be Elliott's favorite track on Impera.

Def Leppard, Motley Crue Annouce 'Intimate' Show

Another warmup gig was added in the U.S. before Motley Crue and Def Leppard will hit the road for "The World Tour." The bands will play at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Fl. The show will take place March 12 and pre-sale tickets begin as early as tomorrow.

The Hard Rock venues do not hold nearly as many folks as other venues on the "world" leg, so this really is a good chance to see the bands if that is your thing.

Just announced: An intimate show in Hollywood, FL with @MotleyCrue! Hard Rock Live @ Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino - we’ll see you on March 12th🤘

Citi, VIP & Fanclub Presales: 1/10/23 @ 10am

Remembering Steve Clark

Def Leppard guitarist Steve Clark died January 8, 1991. He was 30. The remaining members of Def Leppard have never forgotten him and always include Steve as a member on official platforms, special merchandise, etc. I always listen to "White Lightning" on this anniversary.

Remembering Steve Clark today - gone but not forgotten 🙏 pic.twitter.com/fq8MZ9ubmK

'The World Tour' Adds American Dates And Alice Cooper

You already know that Motley Crue and Def Leppard are taking The Stadium Tour to other countries in the coming months and calling the run The World Tour. Now, the band has added some American dates - and also Alice Cooper has joined the bill.

One of the dates added is Columbus, Ohio but at this time I do not have plans to grab tickets. Also I think Alice Cooper will probably outperform Motley each night. Def Leppard can still hold their own, but there is no contest between frontmen when it comes to Alice Cooper versus Vince Neil. Alice wins every time.

See you on the road with @MotleyCrue and @alicecooper 🔥
