1983 MOTLEY CRUE WOULD SLAUGHTER 2009 MOTLEY CRUE IN A FIGHT

 Monday, September 21st, 2009 at 12:30pm by

Some things never change, like Vince Neil getting winded and letting the audience the sing all the words, or Tommy Lee sounding like a complete idiot every time he opens his mouth. But some things do change, and this era of Motley Crue absolutely smokes the modern incarnation in the live setting. Tommy Lee is in top shape rockin’ the double bass behind the kit, Mick Mars can actually move, Nikki Sixx somehow manages to run around in high heels (credit where it’s due!) and my namesake surprisingly doesn’t sound half-bad when he is singing. I would’ve loved to have been 18 in 1983 and seen Motley Crue in their prime. Thanks to MetalSucks Maniac Shane Gillis for sending in this gem.

    It would end with Vince Neil slapping himself and the Nikki Sixxes passed out together

    Actually, in some cases, STDs can toughen up the immune system, with the exception of AIDS of course. Although the headline the headline really isnt fair to Mick Mars.

    major label metal bands suck. And before anybody tries to tell me Lamb of God are on a major label, I’m just gonna say even New American Gospel was better than Wrath or Sacrament

    Thank God for recording studios because Vince Neil sounds horrible live no matter what year or decade it is. It’s pretty amazing just how awful he sounds live even back then.

    When he actually starts singing, it’s not half bad but the before hand hype is just awful.

  • timmah

    No, they sucked then. They just suck more now.

    The main difference now is they actually show up for gigs and realize that its a business as well, not just a big party. I’ll take the 2009 version over that old drunken crap anytime.

    Does anyone else think Vince Neil sounds like Chris Tucker?
