Mötley Crüe - Madison Square Garden

Better than: Seeing them in most of their other tours in the past 15 years.

"If this does not work, I do not know where you would," said Mötley Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx in the middle of final NYC show of his band.


"Perhaps you would in a concert of Mumford and Sons." Sixx's quote and jeers from the audience after they were all in good fun, but that's the nature of a Motley Crue show. In the midst of the fire, the dancing, the steps that move, and jokes Mumford was three decades in good spirits and memories. For a full Public Garden, the 80 heroes of the book about their time together in closed metal hair. To Crüe, it is logical that the final chapter was excessively libertine party came out with a series of deafening explosions.



Out for the first time on stage, and just in time for Halloween on Friday, was the still--creepy macabre and Alice Cooper. The veteran rock shock comes equipped with more support, costume and set changes than most pop stars at all times. Decades of getting your head cut off by a guillotine have served Cooper; although the shock is gone, its spookiness is as timeless as the movies and Halloween specials in heavy rotation at the moment, just in time for the holidays.

Once the supports were cleared, the sound of music "So Long, Farewell" bleeding through speakers. It was a delicate nice game before, Mötley Crüe just before he dove into the heavy, raucous "Saints of Los Angeles". This new-ish song in terms of its timeline briefly felt like an odd choice, but Mötley Crüe was intent on celebrating until the last moment of his career from its beginning to its end, so every year it seems like one gold.

Of course, no shortage of memorable tracks for the band to choose for your setlist. Soon "Wild Side" helped the soundtrack to the arrival of the two female singers backup / dancers / roadies who made some Rocky Horror-esque moves as slowly slide into ever fewer clothes during the fair. As their clothes disappeared, the number of signals increased firearms and explosives; Flames pulled Crüe final level for each song, just trying to beat themselves.



By the time we got the talk from Nikki about how it was brought the band together in Los Angeles 33 years ago, who had already beaten '' Position, "Smokin 'Same Ol'" in Room for Children ', "and a heavy confetti "Without You". Sixx forced to sit the entire audience to their story, a story expertly given an Idaho boy slowly picking his future bandmates several dives and magazine ads all over Hollywood.

With each entry in your story, the Crüe today revealed themselves to the shadows lurking in during storytime. Nothing Sixx ended, the audience was eager to get back up and dance some more, and in honor of the influences of punk had said, Sixx and Co. pulled a cover of the Sex Pistols "Anarchy in the UK" before falling into "Dr. Feelgood", followed by highlight of the night, "Shout at the Devil". What made the latter as particularly amazing contraption was called together with the low shot Nikki allowing you to set your microphone hanging in flames while still hitting the bass line?
