i'll go ahead and get this rant started by reminding you just what exactly a "motley crue" is...
'nuff said.
and now on to my thoughts on this new album. 1st of all i'd like to take the opportunity to place all the blame for this album on scott stapp.
this is the man who singlehandedly ruined the evolution of music.
some will remember what a "guys-wearing-makeup-and-blouses"-laden era the 80's were. but then came the 90's... now we're getting somewhere. rage against the machine, alice in chains, soundgarden, nirvana, etc. things are just starting to look up , right? and then... kapow! creed... a broken hip in the musical shower of mankind.
and now we have motley crue. out of retirement for "1 last hurrah"? don't get me wrong... i absolutely hated motley crue in the 80's, and i still harbor strong feelings of dislike for them to this day. so what do these elderly no-talent asshats have to offer in this day and age? well, if you can get past the laughable factor you'll possibly find a few reasons to respect what's really happening here.
this is 80's glam rock at it's finest. these are hard street-schooled badasses with no respect for the law or the effect that aquanet's cfc's might allegedly have on the environment. they will not be swayed into conforming to the played out emotionless creedish muddle of pudd mold.
so, props to vince for not selling out like so many other bands, some whose names rhyme with shetallica. consider the many possible age-related mental conditions which might account for vince being oblivious to exactly what year this is... or who's the president... or the fact that he's quick approaching 90. so go ahead and take a moment to let the initial knee-jerk reaction pass, tease your hair, suck in those cheeks, grab a man-blouse and shout at the devil!
