r/MotleyCrue

I bought tickets to Motley Crue next week at Blossom Music Center. Never been there, driving from a couple of hours away and not planning to spend the night. I've heard it's a cool venue, but I heard parking is horrible unless you buy premier or VIP parking. I was thinking about buying premier to get out a little quicker since I'm planning to work the next day, but apparently it's too late. According to the website they only sell physical hangtags and you have to buy them more than 14 days in advance. Anyone know if there's a digital option (if availability allows) that I'm just not seeing? I see a couple of people have listed parking passes on Seatgeek and StubHub with a mobile transfer option, but they're pricey (would be cheaper just to get a hotel nearby), and also...can that be trusted? I mean, how can someone sell a digital pass if the venue only uses physical passes. Hard to believe a venue wouldn't have a digital option.

Just got back from the Charlotte show. I noticed that they slowed several songs down a few bpm's. Sorry if this has been discussed to death but I'm curious if anyone knows why? Is that just to help Vince? When did they start doing it?

Anyway, I enjoyed the show and thought the band sounded pretty great. Even Vince was hanging in there.

Going to see them for the first time tonight. Of course I know they aren’t like how they used to be. But I’m in my early 20s and want to see them one time before they retire.

Thanks!

Just drove a few hours into Charlotte to see the show.

Overall it was a great show, and had a great time. Extreme, Tesla and of course Motley were amazing.

Third time seeing Crue tonight, 1st 2008, then in 2009.

But slightly disappointed with the A.I. slop carnival and ringmaster. I was really hoping for Mighty Mike and the whole shebang the original Carnival of Sins had since this was labeled "Return", or something similar at least.

Was anyone else expecting more Carnival-esque like 05'. I missed the original tour and absolutely loved the DVD, watched a dozen times or more.

hi so i’m supposed to be seeing the crüe on the 22nd in tinley park but i’m having some last minute reservations and I don’t really know what I should do. a LOT of people are saying it’s not worth it whatsoever and that it’s a complete waste of time, i understand that they aren’t as good as they were in the 80s which is completely fine but i’m going to be driving almost 6 hours (in total) to see them and we aren’t getting a hotel so straight there eat something and drive back. i just want to know if it’s really worth it because i keep going back and forth in my head about it.

I saw them last night in Tampa. Vince Neil isnt the same Niel like he was did in the 80s but I get that. The music over saturated him singing, I dont know if he was really singing due to we could not hear him singing MOST of the concert. When I looked back at the crowd, I feel people were just as confused. The girls they had up on stage, granted were young and people BUT it almost felt like, "are they legal aged enough to be dancing like that on stage? In the beginning, they even looked uncomfortable, it was just a weird convert vibe the entire time. The AI videos were just not happening for me either. The explosions at the end were STRONG and shocked the shit out of me. The rest of the band looked alive and very into it but Neil appeared to look like he just showed up, no feeling into it like the rest of the group and just not belting out lyrics like he did back in the day. Granted, we all get old but he just sounded and looked like he was just not into it at all. Ive seen other rock bands this summer that were way older than Neil, however, one could FEEL the energy that flared off of theor LOVE of rock. Neil, unfortunately, looked like he just showed up, lip synced, moved up and down the stage and appeared like he wanted to call it quits after the forst song. It was the oddest rock concert ive been to all summer.

Girls, Girls, Girls is a pretty bad sounding album imo. Don't get me wrong, it's listenable for sure and sounds pretty decent for its time but the guitar tone is really thin and shitty and the drums sound pretty weak and cheap. Dr Feelgood ok the other hand is a master class in glam metal production. Huge drums, meaty guitars, all sorts of neat production tricks, tons of vocal layers. It's crazy how much improvement occured in 2 years.

Anyone here going to the Mötley Crüe concert at Mystic Lake amphitheater on Friday and have lawn tickets? If so, when you pull up your tickets, is a QR code displaying? When I click on view tickets, all I’m getting is a green screen that says LAWN on it, and no QR code to scan.

I’m starting this with saying that I love Motley Crue in every way. I grew up listening to them with my dad, and my first ever concert was them opening up for Kiss in 2012.

I wish I was able to go to the original carnival of sins because comparatively speaking it looked so much cooler with all of the fan interactions.

I went to see last nights show and I honestly felt so bad for Vince because he was really busting his ass to give a performance and I knew he was struggling. Nikki and Tommy killed it as usual, and I know Vince would have all things considered. The guitarist did great so I won’t talk about him although I do miss Mick.

Great song list, sub par creative design, and just simply a performance strictly for the songs.

Nonetheless it was great to see them as always and I know it’s probably the last tour we will truly have unless they choose to continue without Vince, and even then it won’t be the same. Shit, it’s not even the same now without Mick.

I think I’m depressed from the thought that we only truly have a decade or so left to enjoy music/shows like this to the caliber that Motley Crue and the likes of them brought to everyone.

If you have the opportunity to go and see their show; just enjoy it for what it is and try to soak up as much as you can.

Life moves really fast and I’m sure the people who were around from the beginning of the 80’s glam rock see what I am trying to say.
