I so wished you could have done this whole setup when you guys played Dallas at the Gexa. Don't get me wrong, I was still pretty pumped, but after seeing some other other shows on RU-vid felt a little deflated.
WEATHER HE SUCKS OR NOT ! WHO DOSE THIS ? ROCK STARS DO THIS GREAT INTERTANING WE GET WHAT WE PAY FOR AND I THINKS THIS WAS BAD ASS!!! TOMMY IS A BAD ASS ROCK STAR
+Chrystian Danucalov -- whoever made this little featurette tried to make it more interesting than the actual solo, because once you've gotten over how immensely insane this idea is - and how incredible a stunt it is - it's pretty much Tommy Lee just playing basic beats to some house music that really and truly sux dog's balls. It's fantastic, memorable, awesome... and the actual amazing part is that he can keep good time while being suspended at every devil's angle in a 360-degree loop that is itself moving. But again - bad choice of triggered music. As he is on his way back to home base, they should stop the spinning and keep him level as he continues in to land, so that he can do some proper drumming as the band starts a song with him still in transit. Because on the final few feet of the coaster - no matter how daring and innovative it is - the hopped-up crowd is already bored of it. And they've torn their eyes out from those shit hip hop triggers.
I realize I'm 5 years late here, but you don't need to put solo in quotes. He was indeed playing solo. I know the music isn't for everyone, and why he chose to drum along to remixes of other songs and to some dubstep stuff is pretty bizarre, but Mötley Crüe has never done anything by the book so I love it. Lastly, the edit is pretty bad.. it's from a bunch of different shows and it just doesn't blend well.. either way, hope you're doing well 5 years later stranger!
tommy I saw you to days in a row man at Verizon when you played home sweet home I was in the box seet next to the thing that goes up and you hi fived me and at Hollywood bowl I was front row vince neil waved at me
This is an innovative design. But man, I'd rather hear an old fashioned knock out, drag out, multi-fill, pedal thumping kick ass drum solo like he used to do. I'd take the 90 degree tilt or the "tilt-a whirl" solo anyday. I am very surprised that Nikki allows this with the so called "music" that Tommy uses. This is the main reason why I am not seeing them on this "last" tour. Very un-rock and roll. I see him losing integrity among rock drummers, as I am a drummer myself. Who's with me? ROCK N ROLL!!!!!!!!!!
I'm not going to lie, I'd love to see Tommy do a "proper" rock drum solo, because he's obviously capable of it. These drum along to techno "solos" just don't appeal to me at all.
taypax Playing clubs is bad because why?? They'd be one of the best live acts and second to none as a band instead of this Dog And Pony freak show with sampled in back-up vocals and 100% garbage lead vocals.
So you saying it's worse than Corabi recorded ? Corabi the self-titled Mötley Crüe album in 1994 and the EP Quaternary. Though the music was heavier and more elaborate than the rest of the Mötley Crüe catalog, it did not sell as well as previous releases from the band.
The fact that it didn't sell like "Dr. Feelgood" means Jack-Shit to nobody but Electra records who MADE the band fire Corabi and rehire Vince Neil. Listen to that steaming pile of shit called, "Generation Swine" they put out in 1997 to shut the record company up. Micks hates it, but listen to what Mars says about 1994 "Self-Titled". And why has Motley Crue not performed 1 single song from the Corabi/'94 album since Vince Neil came back?
That is one hell of a crap editing job. Hint: it would be helpful if you stayed on the same shot for more than 1/2 of a second so that the viewers could have a freaking clue as to what is going on. BTW, how many shows on this tour did they have this drum solo in? There were a lot of shows in which the structure was too big for the venue to handle (such as the Atlanta show that I attended). That in and of itself shows how little planning went into this. Great idea--shit execution.
