Me neither.

Some bands were meant to fade away. Ratt, Dokken, Posion etc

Good bands, good music. But yea, I’ll just continue to stream their songs and remember them at their peak rather than pay for any live music.

I've seen Poison three times. They were awful, pretty good, and meh. Kind of depended on whether or not C.C. was with them, or how drunk he was. Michaels was a consistent good front man, though.

[QUOTE=Frazod;15977751]It's a real crapshoot with these older bands. Sometimes they can still bring it, like the Eagles and Pat Benatar. Sometimes they've clearly lost a step, but the effort they put forth mostly makes up for it; this was the case for Eddie Money, who I saw less than a year before he died.

But sometimes they're just stealing from you. I saw Dokken open for Tom Keifer a couple of years ago, and it was hands down the worst performance ever. ****er can't sing at all now. It was like watching an angry old drunk do bad karaoke. At one point he started frantically waiving at his bass player to join in when he couldn't even come close to hitting high notes, and the bass player just looked at him like he was nuts and kept playing. I lasted three songs before I said **** it and went outside to smoke until Tom came on (he was great, BTW).

After their set the bass player came outside to smoke and was telling everybody how much of a dick Don Dokken was. :-)[/QUOTE

I saw Dokken in about 87 opening for Aerosmith they were terrible then too may just be a bad live band

On the contrary good music is timeless. Motley Crue to me is meh but lots of other bands from that era are great.

Not sure which is in worse shape, his stomach or voice. When they constantly ask the audience to sing, it's a bad sign.

I had their album on repeat back in the day.

I don't think I ever said what you are implying. I simply said Motley Crue is grandpa music. Meaning those that grew up listening to those bands during their hey days either are a grandpas or moving into those years that most people become grandparents.

What I see what is going on here is a bunch of men afraid of understanding their actual age. Yes honey, you don't look like, act like or are in your 20's any more.

Embrace the truth you old motherfuckers are grandpa age and don't take offense to it like 38yr old woman trying to play like she is still 25.
[Reply]

The fuck is that supposed to mean? I know exactly how old I am.
[Reply]

I understand my age just fine my Alzheimer’s is still in the early stages

I guess his takeaway is we're talking about Motley Crue because we're longing to be in our 20s again. Well Mr RubberSponge let me tell you about my life in my 20s. I was living in a fucking 14x70 mobile home with my wife and young son broke as fuck scraping by paycheck to paycheck, driving a shitty Chevy Cavalier with no AC. Never took vacations, had little social life, hell even being able to go out to eat was rare thing.

Compared to now where I share a home with my wife that's big enough we could go for weeks without seeing each other, I have a huge awesome garage with an extra car that's just for fun. We take fantastic vacations every year, blow out of town for the weekend frequently, pretty much do whatever the hell we want when we want. And I'm pretty fucking happy with it thankyouverymuch.

Lol. This is some pompous shit if I’ve ever heard any.
[Reply]

It means Motley Crue was relevant nearly 40years ago, grandpa.
[Reply]

Pompous to admit that Motley Crue is music from 40 years ago?

To put this into perspective. The music produced in 1953 was grandpa music in 1987 when girls girls girls came out.

That isn't being pompous. That's recognizing reality.

What is pompous is a bunch of older men taking offense to being called older men.
[Reply]

That doesn't discount the fact that Motley Crue is grandpa music now. It is nearly 4 decade old music.

Finally got to see him at the uptown in early 80's. I was listening to him at 10 year old.

Saw him at Arrowhead. I was up in the nosebleeds but don't remember the ticket prices. It was nostalgic but still a fun concert.
