I knew a 2024 Motley Crue song and music video was going to be awful but it was somehow worse. I hope Mick Mars wins all of his lawsuits now, man.

My brother and I used to rock out to “Shout at the Devil ‘97,” which I know is an abomination but if you didn’t have the original to compare it to I bet everyone who hates it would think it was cool. And “Glitter” is a decent ballad, co-written by Bryan Adams. There’s also a short fast rocker called “Anybody Out There?” that’s kinda fun. I don’t care for any of the other songs on it but I’ll take Generation Swine over the self-titled any day.

There is a weird retrospective defense of ‘94 s/t and John Corabi among hair metal nerds. It unfortunately led to his “supergroup” The Dead Daisies opening up for KISS the last time I saw them.
Idk if I have ever seen anyone talk about the album Motley Crue did in ‘00 without Tommy Lee. That gets mentioned even less than Corabi era. Maybe a sentence or two about how Tommy Lee left then his replacement got sick and died then the drummer from Hole filled in for a bit (a WOMAN in MOTLEY CRUE!?)

That was New Tattoo - I mentioned it on the last page after your initial post about the new Crue track.
I remember the media talked about this being the big comeback with Vince Neil even though Generation Swan was three years prior. Crue toured with Megadeth (who where also going though a down period, wtf was Risk?) to support this record.

I thought they toured with Scorpions. Was classic metal/hard rock so down that three arena acts would have had to share a bill?
Fake edit: Crue/Scorpions was ‘99 and Crue/Megadeth was ‘00. It is easy to believe that those three shared a bill in ‘00 cause A. those stadium bills are kind of par for the course these days and B. ‘00 was the year that Maiden reunited with Bruce Dickinson and was playing to half houses. It wasn’t post hair metal levels low but genre was still in the woods in ‘00 mostly.

Yeah I've mentioned it before but there has been a turnaround in the last 15-20 years in regards to classic rock and metal when fans realized how awesome these bands actually are after years of PR claiming the opposite and the current bands of the scene listing them as influences (and hearing them through their music). Maiden and Priest were pretty much in the mud in the late 90s (though the absence of Bruce and Rob certainly contributed).
I'd say 2003-2004 was the turnaround where these bands could play to arenas again. Crue reunited and toured in 2005 and Halford's first record since rejoining Priest was that same year.
It's the same reason why nu metal is starting to sorta become popular again and is being remembered fondly. A lot of the bands these days grew up listening to Korn and Slipknot.

Get off my damn lawn
Sometimes I like to grab a refreshing beverage, sit in my comfortable chair, turn on my lamp, a pick up a mystery novel, historical text, or biography. Then I tune to the wide selection of satellite music channels which comes with my TV. I like to have music on low in the background while I read.
Sometimes I listen to Jazz, but not very often…because who wants to be one of those pretentious douchebags who listens to Jazz, and then tells people about it?
Most often, I turn on the Classic Rock channel. They play a very wide selection of Classic Rock music. I don’t always like it all, but generally if I don’t, I can wait out particular song because I know I will probably like the next one, and I’m not really paying that close attention anyways because I’m focused on my book.
Except if it’s Bon Jovi. I have recently come to the realization that I hate Bon Jovi. Like, the sound of his voice and his shitty MILF magnet music makes me want to smash something with a crowbar. Last night it was “You Give Love A Bad Name.” No, Jon. You give MUSIC a bad name. This afternoon it was “Wanted Dead or Alive.” Wrong again, Jon. you’re not wanted alive, just dead. You hear me, Jon? Dead. DEAD.
The sound of his crappy music makes me want to smash stuff. I remember back in 1984, long before any of you were born. I believe I was in Grade 8. A song came out called “Runaway” and it was sung by this big haired, tight pantsed goofy looking dork. I remember seeing him and thinking “What the hell is wrong with this fucking guy?” and keep in mind THIS WAS THE GODDAMN 80’s. Pretty much everybody looked like that back then, but he managed to stand out still.
Now I’m sure some of you are going to say: “Hey, I like Bon Jovi. He has some good songs.” And to you I say, no…you’re wrong. He doesn’t have any good songs. He sucks, and you need to reconsider your life choices.
In short, I fucking hate this fucking guy and if I never hear one of his songs again, it will be too soon.
