Little guilty pleasure for me this week, off to see the Crue at the NEC, anyone else indulging in some hair metal lol?
No 🙁
Couldn't get tickets 😥
Yep, had a pre-sale code! I'm not a big fan but GF is and they were OK at Download this year.
No but seriously wish I was !!
Gitz 😐
Have a great time y'all..
\m/
Is it the original line-up and if so how are they all still alive?
Well according to the Dirt Sixx died twice in a matter of hours after ODing.
I would pay to see a utter twunt like Vince Neil, fat useless gimp.
If they have the full stage show it will look amazing but sound like crap.
Last time I saw them I was one of the people throwing things at them 😛

It's the original line up, although Mick Marrs is now 93% mechanical.

Saw them a couple years ago with Def Leopard, and this sums it up. Still glad I saw them though.
No but my bro is. They were great at Download this year!
I thought they were one of those joke bands like Spinal Tap.
Yep, Newcastle tonight.
Me sir, me sir! Manchester tomorrow.
You'll be getting some decent music with Alice Cooper being the support act.
Wish I was going - I'm quite partial to a bit of hair metal!
Gitz... 😕
Is welljell man.

FIFY
I'm really jealous. 😕
Well, that was quiet and subtle. (-:
Also,
He looks like a resurrected corpse, but by christ Mick Mars can play a bit.
The stage show looks pretty amazing judging by the clips online, any feedback from those that went Mon or Tues?
He looks like a resurrected corpse
I think he is a reanimated corpse, meant to be near 65yrs old isnt he?
Mr Mars has certainly had some health issues over the years.
Erm...
No frikin reviews fellas?
Like..
Fankz 🙄

Went on Monday, it was actually better than I'd expected/feared. The band can actually play, Mick in particular is much better than I'd realised, but the vocals are pretty awful. Stage show is suitably ridiculous, I heard afterwards there are more than 350 pyro cues.
More importantly I'm completely in love with Alice Cooper's new guitarist Nita Strauss. Google is your friend.
Bring on Friday and Wembley
so looking forward to this, this need to book hotel for the evening and then all sorted!!
Last time I saw them was Wembley Arena in about 1990...
OMG, what a show last night at the NEC! Firstly Alice Cooper absolutely smashed it, not often a support act gets a full stage show but it had everything he normally does except fewer songs. Not seen Motley Crue for years but basically the best stage show I have ever seen, more pyro than I thought possible at an indoor show, sound was very good, even for the NEC, the drum solo has to be seen to be believed, vocals not as bad as I feared and as stated above, for a corpse Mick Marrs can play a guitar lol. Dont forget to turn round and face the mixing desk for the encore, nice little intimate stage that they use to close the show. So glad I went to see it \,,/

Get yourself to a Rammstein gig.
Thanks folks, glad to hear they were playing to excess!
Gitz.
😆

Definitely. The Crue show was OK last night but Rammstein are a level above.

No thanks, they are sh1t 😆
😯No thanks, they are sh1t
Alice Coopers stage show is far better than Motley Crue's, always has been though.
Rammstein also have an awesome one.
the drum solo has to be seen to be believed
Did they do the raised platform with him strapped in and 'beating' sticks into the crowd as he threw them on the skins and they shoot out?
That's what they did when I saw them (I think it was the 'Girls, Girls, Girls' Tour).
No, he had a roller coaster track from the stage to the sound desk, drum riser travelled along the tracks rotating as it went so he was upside down several times between stage and desk and back, lasted about 10 mins in total and he played over the top of a variety of tracks including paranoid, uptown funk, sabotage to name a few. I was under the lowest point of the track so could clearly hear the drums above the PA system when he was upside down directly above me. Plenty of vids on youtube.

Agreed the stage show does look good, not a fan of their music to clarify my earlier statement 😀
Rollercoaster is a little misleading. The drum riser moved at about 0.1 metres per second.
He was also playing his "solo" to a backing track, which included... drums.
I found that bit pretty tedious. If it had fired him down the track at speed it would have been much better.

Was the best description I could think of 😉
To be fair, it's probably the best description I could think of as well!
