    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.

      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.
