Oh, no matter, I'm sure they'll schedule the tour entirely around the needs of a prepubescent Kiwi.

I still think a Poison/Cinderella/Stryper triple bill would top this in a so bad its good kinda way...

Is that really neccesary? I'm a fan that wants to see them but I don't mind that much if I miss them.

Sarcasm my ass. Just pointing out it would be insane for me if the show was a day later.

The Crue would be a whole lot of fun to see, but one website last night was reporting tickets for the Riverstage at either 140 or 165 bucks i.e. get fucked

I doubt it. It'll sell out.

Yeah, because the last Motley Crue tour sold incredibly well..

...cough...

Braveheart81

Braveheart81 said on the 10th Jun, 2011

I predict this tour will be twice as good as Tommy Lee Goes to College.

That means it will only be a relatively small pile of turd... maybe just 3 Courics.

benr3

benr3 said on the 10th Jun, 2011

I agree, I can can see them doing second shows as well. Particularly in Brisbane, those racist bastards love their white boy cock rock!

MorningAfterboy

MorningAfterboy said on the 10th Jun, 2011

Seriously, does no-one remember how badly their last tour here sold? Ben, surely you'd know, what with priding yourself on being in "da induztry" and all.

berlinchair101

berlinchair101 said on the 10th Jun, 2011

I remember Acer being pretty full when I saw them.

benr3

benr3 said on the 10th Jun, 2011

MAB please stop assuming I am some kind of wigga, I work in the entertainment business as do many users on FL, but I also pride myself on proper use of the English language.

There is no reason why this tour shouldn't sell out, personally I'm not a fan of Motley Crue and I'm guessing you aren't either, but Australia loves this kind of music and the tickets are reasonably priced, as long as it's promoted in the right way I can't foresee any issues.

MorningAfterboy

MorningAfterboy said on the 10th Jun, 2011

I am a fan of Motley's, actually. But if they think I'm paying that far into the triple figures then they're fucking dreaming. I really don't see how they're worth that much, or even how that's a reasonable price.

berlinchair101

berlinchair101 said on the 10th Jun, 2011

They are not worth this amount of money.

MorningAfterboy

MorningAfterboy said on the 10th Jun, 2011

I remember there being a 2-for-1 dealio, and they were even selling $40 tickets out the front if I recall correctly.

And that was with a far superior support act to fucking Bret Michaels, too - Motorhead.

berlinchair101

berlinchair101 said on the 10th Jun, 2011

Motorhead were amazing.

I don't remember anything about 2for's. But I wasn't really paying attention. Motley were dissapointing.

BRISBANE
Feelgood Pit (Front GA section) - $166
Wild Side Pit (Back GA section) - $136

SYDNEY
Feelgood Pit (GA Floor) - $166
Gold Reserve - $166
Silver Reserve - $166

MELBOURNE
Feelgood Pit (GA Floor) - $166
Gold Reserve - $166
Silver Reserve - $166

A) The "feelgood pit" and "wild side pit"?? How about the "fuckwit pit"
B) There's no difference in price between floor, gold reserve and silver reserve?

benr3

benr3 said on the 10th Jun, 2011

GA and Gold res are the same price. Silver is $136.

morningafterboy - you know nothing.
motley's last tour in 2005 sold incredibly well.
the then vodafone arena in melbourne sold out and an additional show was announced at the palais.
sydney's acer arena was also near or at capacity.

MorningAfterboy

MorningAfterboy said on the 10th Jun, 2011

Oh hey it's coma boy. Got any other articles from 2009 you'd like to spit your shirtless rage at, old mate?

Silver Surfer

Silver Surfer said on the 10th Jun, 2011

I went to their last tour purely to see Motorhead - who blew them away.

Motley sparkled for some songs, but were clearly past it.

StentoriaN

StentoriaN said on the 12th Jun, 2011

got any other unfounded information you'd like to share? motley's last tour was a success. amp brought them out then and are doing so again 0- surely, if the tour back then, when motley was arguably enjoying their second coming a little more than they are now, amp wouldn't bother bringing them out again.
get your facts right before you post dribble you negative hack.

So so true

what a lame bunch of hasbeens (and i've seen all of em live when they actually rocked)

gumbuoy

gumbuoy said on the 13th Jun, 2011

hehe feelgood pit. that entertained me far more than the show ever would

i doubt you'll see a second show in brisbane - i can't speak for the packed-ness of the venue, but i know me and a bunch of other people got free tickets to the last show. and i still felt ripped off by the end.

wait, so you're saying they were more popular then then they are now, and thats why amp are bringing them out again?

Obviously this will sell out! I haven't read it here but I heard it was announced the full Poison band will be playing and not just Brett Michaels! So everyone attending will be having nothin but a good time. How could you resist?

Hit number 10 is Aus in 1988, loved it so much i got the album on vinyl for xmas, its a shame I don't know where it ended up. I knew every word! Mind you I listened to the album again a decade ago and cringed so much I still have the facial scars to prove it.

tyler07 said on the 18th Jun, 2011

Haha, no I got the Poison pun, I just cannot fathom spending upwards of $150 on seeing them and the Crüe

Piko

Yer thats not the top of my priorities for $150 either

toolunit said on the 23rd Jun, 2011

says the man with britney spears in his sig.

would have liked to go, but the pre-release tickets topping $190 its excessive to say the least. i would want the full poison band for that plus a whitesnake. with soundwave the following week i'll put my money to van halen, alice cooper and bad religion.

They toured here a few years ago. Hardly once in a lifetime!

i didn't see them then and i don't think they will be back again, so it is for me!

hedonism gibbon

hedonism gibbon said on the 20th Jul, 2011

i saw them on the actual Dr Feelgood tour, when it was new and relevant, and yep it WAS a once in a lifetime experience cos there is no way i'd fork out to see those uninspired relics these days!

yes i sure did, that's excellent news, known as "the most romantic aminal on the planet" too

i'm sure those gibbons would provide far more entertainment than ole Motley

:)

hedonism gibbon

hedonism gibbon said on the 20th Jul, 2011

that's fine, i just hope they can still deliver a good time and not embarrass themselves (and their fans)

i still think they're WELL past it.

N_JohnsonX

N_JohnsonX said on the 20th Jul, 2011

vince may be, but i think the other guys still have a good show in them. theatrics are becoming a higher priority, maybe to distract people. tommy's 360 drum set looks pretty awesome, although it may not make it out here.

hedonism gibbon

hedonism gibbon said on the 20th Jul, 2011

they had the spinning-upside-down-drum-kit (from the wild side video clip) back in the day when i saw them... was pretty cool i concede

N_JohnsonX

N_JohnsonX said on the 20th Jul, 2011

that's a good clip. the carnival of sins drum solo, where tommy goes to platforms near the roof, is pretty cool too.

They did however bring Motorhead.

Pretty much any story about a classic hard rock/alternative tour, hedonism gibbon will say that he saw them on their original tour when they were in their prime.

hedonism gibbon

hedonism gibbon said on the 20th Jul, 2011

Braveheart just likes my "pedigree" for want of a better word, the fact that i like showing my age and usurping newbies with stories of the good ole days (like Gunners first tour of Aus in 89 before they went all stadium rock and piano driven drivel)

don't take it personally, i'd probably rather be about 21 and seeing motley for the first time like you ;)

berlinchair101

berlinchair101 said on the 20th Jul, 2011

No matter what you do Gibbo will have seen it, done it, smoked it, drunk it, rocked it, and or all of the aboved it.

All before you, and it was probably better then too.

It's nothing personal, Gibbo is just an unstoppable force.

this is true (esp the "smoked it" bit!!!)

Pugwash was just sitting there, as he does on Wednesdays, snorting mountains of cocaine and lurking FL.
"I could either do another line, or make a random butthurt post that makes no sense," he thought to himself.
Until it clicked - he could fucking well do both! And so it was.
