If they were wanting to use current photos of the band, shouldn’t Vince look like

Sweet lord. That boy don’t skip a meal at all.
I saw them in Munich a few weeks back. John5 was a crazy good choice - so good that most of us thought vince should leave :)
Dude’s name is actually John5?
Just a stage name. He really is an incredible guitarist, and I don’t even like some of the projects he’s been a part of.
He should change his name to Vince Meal, amirite?
Never skip stomach day.
By “removed” you mean replaced with a different guitarist (John 5)?
If somebody can’t play/tour, they get replaced - the show must go on and whatnot.
The problem here is that they used an old photo and shopped Mick Mars out and John5 in, because they either can’t be bothered to take any new promo photos of the band, or the difference between how much better John 5 looks than the rest of those washed-up has-beens is so stark that they don’t want to.
I did not know (or even notice) that was the case. Does it really matter?
I like Mick, and the rest of those guys are like… Legendary douchebags, so who’s surprised?
By “removed” I mean they clearly photoshopped Mick out of this photo. I have no problem with Motley Crue continuing on without him (other than Vince Neil being fucking awful). But take some new photos with the current band for fucks sake. Shopping a longtime band mate out is disrespectful, shitty, and mildly infuriating. Especially since he retired due to a painful and crippling disease.
Where is the “past” picture for comparison?
My wife used to like Motley Crue so when I found cheap tickets to their farewell tour about 8 years ago we went along. What a clusterfuck it was. A bunch of fat old men trying to relive their glory years from 30 years earlier. Vince could barely catch a breath while he walked around the stage.
The truly funny bit was that the support act was Alice Cooper and his show was amazing as always.
Recently some colleagues mentioned wanting to see Motley Crue when they tour soon and I told them not to.
My wife was trying to convince me to go see the Beach Boys this year. I really didn’t want to watch a bunch of old men wheezing on stage (and Brian Wilson wasn’t even going to be there). But then I was saved because the same venue decided to host Ted Nugent and we said fuck no to giving them money.
Congratulations on finding a purpose for Ted Nugent.
I saw Alice last year and he was still awesome.
I saw Motley at a stadium tour they did a couple years ago and Vince was awful. They could have pulled literally anyone from the audience to sing and it would have been better than Vince.
God, Retire already! You’re not in the 80s anymore!
At least some bands from the 80s realized this, which is why they’ve spent some of their albums on experiencing new sound. Iron Maiden has done it, which is why they’re still awesome, they aren’t relying on their old reigns because they’re a talented band that can evolve.
Motley Crue, can’t do that. They’re a one-era trick playing pony.
