I saw the Crue in 1987. White Snake opened for them. It was AWESOME! I LOVED Tommy going up in the air in his drum kit. As a former drummer, I couldn't play "flying" thru the air & upside down! AMAZING!!
@@herolfskiphamnfladseth2760 Yes, it's true. Eddie is a nerd and a pussy. But the real answer to that question is that Eddie was told beforehand that he was not allowed to talk about Motley's backing tracks. The funny thing is, Motley have been using backing tracks since AT LEAST 1989, but probably ever before that! It's just that Eddie didn't even know that technology existed until about 2010.
@@LaurieRycher - I agree 100%. Eddie is GOAT of Rock n Roll trivia & obviously a huge fan. His purpose is to inform & entertain. He's not trying to uncover Watergate!
@@river2352not to mention Eddie thinks he's a metal historian when he knows nothing about thrash death metal goregrind nothing mostly Glam BS is where it stopped for him
It’s because they have a big production and playing huge arenas for the Arena Tour. They already proved themselves how good they are live when they got back into a club and played to the crowd not long ago during the beginning of the Arena Tour when all the hoopla started about them using backing tracks. Crüe was always on their game when they played small venues, most notably a great club band. They still put on a great show. But I just don’t get why people assume that they should be as good as they were during the 80’s and 90’s.
If I where to interview them it would be a very short interview, because I would tell them what I think of "Dogs of war". It seems like they lost their capability to write catchy songs.
I would ask where the fu@k is MOTLEY CRUE at !!??.. the ide ask where mick mars is at ,,, then ide ask why they didnt exit stage after dr. Feelgood,,, and finally ide ask why in holy hell are your tickets going for up to 2500$ ... Being worth 50 million each isnt enough!!??.. and how does it feel using backing tracks ... Lol.. ive lost all respect for whoever these clowns are... The gimmick is long been done !!!!... PLEASE BOW OUT !!!
At 9:29 they all got quiet when Eddie trunk asked are you only doing three songs now since you got John 5 ?? And Nikki just gave the look at Tommy Lee LoL
Yea if you like bands who screw over their so called friend and fans by playing backing tracks and vow to retire until they need money again to try bleed their audience financially.. An then have an interviewer who swears he asks the tough questions to be as soft as Downy .. But yeah great interview 😂
🤔 Vince looks like he lost weight, and is shaping back up which is great, Tommy was about to graduate, and almost did before committing himself fully to the band at 17, yet he finally got to go to college, in the reality TV show, ‘Tommy Lee Goes To College’ which I just recently saw part of it right here on RU-vid, and it might be available elsewhere like on DVD etc, and it’s cool seeing his mom so proud of him, plus he’s getting to see what college is like, so definitely recommend watching that! Great interview with all the guys here!!‼️
THEY WERE JUST INTERVIEWED BY THAT WRESTLER. SAME STUDIO, MOTLEY WEARING SAME CLOTHES. DIFFERENT INTERVIEWERS WALK INTO STUDIO THEN PATCH INTO ANOTHER SHOW
🤔 P.S. Another cool way to switch it up would be to have Tommy sing some songs during a concert, and have Vince playing drums, not for the whole show, but for some of the songs during the show. Also more of Tommy playing piano 🎹 during some songs in shows, as he’s multitalented.
Suprised Eddie didn’t call them out on the backing tracks and lip syncing accusations, Eddie always bashes Kiss and Paul Stanley for their Lip syncing thing on the End of the Road Tour but Yet Motley Crue is doing the same thing and he doesn’t ask them or call them out about it, what a Tool Ed Trunk is no integrity either
Well Eddie said it's because Motley Crue openly admits using backing tracks. So what's he supposed to do now? Fight with them? They know his position and don't share it.
Calling people out, is much easier when they are not in the room with you. When they are in the room, they are guests. Nothing gained by pissing off your guests.
Regardless of why he didn’t, still is hypocritical on his part, especially since he always complains about with other bands and always hails himself as a guy who always asks the hard questions and says things the way they are. Thats why there is a word called Integrity
Micha mars can't be replaced but if your going to try john 5 is about the best you can do. It's good to see these guys rejuvenated to be in a band together again.
A disclaimer at the end of the show revealed that while Lee attended classes, he did not enroll at the University of Nebraska and that certain situations were staged or edited for comedic effect That about sums it up!! Eddie backing track questions of coarse not
✍️ Haven’t seen all of the Reality TV show ‘Tommy Lee Goes to College’ yet, however what I’ve seen so far is great, including seeing his Mom so proud of him as he leaves for school, telling him to have a great day. So cute, and sweet, plus a lot of natural comedy. It should seriously be a movie!‼️ In theaters too!!!
@JolieF there is a movie called back to school. It's not Tommy but it's the same story. Rodney Dangerfield is a successful businessman that decides to enroll in the same college as his son. He's wealthy and ends up partying instead of studying 😀
🗓️P.P.S. When throwing out those 45s (records) like a frisbee, put all the ways fans can find you on media, show schedule, merch info, et cetera, on a paper wrapper that covers the outside of the records.
Eddie the ass kisser, Talks about kiss for years on how they should have packed it in but doesn't talk about how Crue should have stayed "retired" in 2015 because Vince is absolutely ruthless live now. Let's see if he has the balls to ever have Mick on his show.
Tommy’s extremely humble, sometimes even shy, and it’s probably helpful sometimes to let Nikki step in during public speaking appearances. Would love to see Tommy speaking up more with more healthy self confidence as well.
Nikki saying the statement we don't have to say we're going to do a record we may. Is that like saying we are never gonna tour again and then do 5 farewells. Almost as many as kiss did
Nikki's prolific in his writing.He can't not create Motley Crue or Nikki music.It's in his blood,it's what keeps him going!He needs to just release the full length album asap!tone raven-gtr/voc We Are The Black Things(Hollywood CA)
Tommy looks healthy when he continues to eat healthy fresh fruit and vegetables, drinks plenty of good water, gets some good exercise,and a healthy amount of sleep. He also doesn’t need any tattoos on his handsome face.
Eddie is such a kiss ass towards everyone because he never wants to lose his interview rights, he must stay friendly so they won't deny him any future interviews
I grew up with this band; no other band had as much of an impact on me during my teenage years. They will always have a place in my heart, but to me, this band ended a long time ago. It's not even because Mick Mars is no longer there, which is no small detail, because Mötley Crüe has had moments without some of its key members before, and I liked the albums without Vince and Tommy Lee. I just don't feel like they can create magic together anymore. Vince is no longer a vocalist who measures up to the band. Nikki has had good longevity; he's a very creative person who constantly reinvents himself, but Mötley Crüe has nothing left to give. I didn't like the new song or the creative direction of the video
🤔 Not sure about that, but he’s looking like he’s losing weight, shaping back up, the cardio exercise like treadmill every day also helps his voice and breathing muscles and endurance on stage, the pony tail looks good on him, plus it’s helpful when sweating on a treadmill exercising, et cetera, and imo (in my opinion) he looks best clean 🪒 shaven , as do all of these guys, and Vince looks best with a spray tan, and the perfect shade of blonde hair, basically the way he began to begin with.
Been a fan of this band since I stole my brothers Shout cassette. I saw them in 2004 in San Antonio on the Carnival Reunion, and it shoulda ended there . New music wise , it’s been literally shit for 15 years or more . Last ok thing was New Tattoo (minus Lee) . They used to write songs that became anthems, now they write anthems hoping they will be hits … I wanna see Mick team up with Corabi .
Who gives a phuq if they have backin̈g tracks live? They are actually playing all of their instruments and MÖTLEY CRÜE are tight as Phuq and with John 5 they sound so good and Vince has been sounding great live in 2023 and 2024 with the backing tracks it makes everything sound full and exquisite!! Motley does not need to prove or answer to anyone they have been playing for 43 yrs so Don't Phuq with the CRÜE!
If you were going to use backing track, so why wouldn’t you sound fucking good especially with all the jackasses in here criticizing? I’ve seen them 1 million times and they sound like absolute crap now so it’s hard to believe they would have to fake it to sound that bad. If you’re gonna fake it, you would sound great and then there would be questions on how the hell they could sound that good Keep drinking the Kool-Aid
🤔 Not used to seeing him in the band, as it’s a noticeable difference, plain and simply so. Also, does he wear contacts, as his eyes are visibly an unusual looking shade of black, so to speak? Can he wear blue contacts or something? Perhaps dye his hair black, and that might also help it not seem so different visually to old and new fans without Mick, huh ?⁉️
It also shows that he has no respect for Mick . The guy gave 30 years to the band , many of them in pain , with his spine condition . Not too mention he named the band , help finance them , and gave Tommy his idea for his drum spinning act . And Nikki replaces him after a farewell tour , like he was nothing with John 5 . Nikki has always been a puke .
Lost all respect for Eddie not calling them out about backing tracks.. you bitched about it constantly but doesn’t have the balls to call them out?! Nor about Mick mars
Eddie said it's because Motley Crue openly admits using backing tracks. So what is he supposed to do now, harp on them about it? They know his position on the issue but they feel differently. Kind of the end.
Motley without mick is like zeppelin without bonham … just doesn’t work … and zeppelin was smart enough to realize that … you wanna continue on and write new music i am 1000000000% for that .. but change the name
Been listening to the Crue since the 80s...the last good album was decade of decadence ... Hated Corabi's voice The backing tracks im ok with since everyones been doing it since the 80s And Team Mick 110% The hell with the new kid
