I think that tommy and mick are why sound good but if go checkout in another dimension where nikki didn't formed the band mötley Crüe wouldn't be Rockstar. I mean the dude composed 60% of a song in the band (lyrics ans progression chord) so yeah without mick no big and agressive sound but without nikki no catchy songs
Bill Fraser I get what you are saying, and it’s true, Nikki did write the basic melody structure of the songs. The reason I think mick is what makes the band work though is because his playing is a mix of nikkis simple melodies but with added lead and technicality, without it the songs would be empty and repetitive in my opinion
Sadly we have too much rap crap and the pimp culture of X Factor making you famous for not doing the hard work and earning the fame . Thank God I grew up ( well kind of) during the great era of the seventies and saw what the eighties produced and some of the nineties . Sadly since 2000 it has been all down hill and not just with music .
For being all coked up and Nikki all smacked out at this time in their career, they are a pretty tight unit here. They still sound hungry and look dangerous as fuck. Love it!
You got that right druged, drunk or not he still looked darn hot! And could perform perfectly on stage. That's how he pulled it off for so long but thank God he finally got clean and sober and you can tell that by the way the band plays. And by the way the way he plays his bass. Couldn't play a note before but now nobody can beat him! Gotta love him!!
Damn Randy well he was definitely a good showman. I think you lay on the defense a little too thick for a guy that was never really that talented since videos from way back in1983 show he’s not singing this song very well then either, even without many years of beating up his voice. But regardless of all that he certainly made the most of what he had and made millions of fans worldwide happy, so who am I or anyone to really trash the guy.
I think Vince's voice is good here. Really raw, the way Rock n Roll should be. Plus you gotta consider that this is a band that's on tour, playing 5 nights a week. A touring voice is much different than a weekend warrior. I'd imagine the whole thing sounded way better if you were there in the building, instead of nit picking everything apart on youtube.
@@cms3085 impeccable?...he is SHIT even here only 4 years after releasing it. He leaves out about 20 words alone. Now mind you, now he is absolutely fucking awful. But when comparing to his peers after only a few years in the business?...he is at the BOTTOM of the talent pile.
Kasparmatic he doesnt have to be anybody to have a fucking opinion thats well validated. There are tons of bands who do the same shit and can sing 10x better than vince. Sure hes great in the studio. Live? Not good man
If you went to a Motley show hoping to hear Vince sing an entire song you left disappointed. Still, kick ass show and Vince was a badass frontman so he could get away with it.
Stop complaining all lead singers at times take break from singing word for word live. With all running, jumping it's breath taking. Motley da best Fuk da rest.
Yes...on album. He was one of the shittiest live singer out there. Took him 5 times longer than anyone else to get his shit together in the studio as well.
Toolmybass I’m saying it was their best because they shed the makeup and went straight rock. Started to put a lot of blues elements on their music too. The production on the drefrelgood album holds up 30 years later too.
Not going to happen with any of today's bands. You had to experience it to believe it. There were so many concerts and great rock bands. The chicks really had the looks to kill.
I wonder where the audio is actually from. After Mick's solo, you can see Nikki pull his right hand away from his bass, while the notes are still being played.
He pulls his right hand away because he doesn't play after the solo. He does hit a note when they yell "HEY" and that's when he pulls it away....but he doesn't start playing again until after that break down
idk he sings pretty good sometimes now i know people who say he's been on top of his game i mean look at the carnival of sins dvd but then look at the true fest one it's not easy being a singer on stage every night
Say what u want about vinces singing (I'm right there with you) but musically they were on point, with all the booze and drugs, Tommy and mick never missed a note
