I actually asked my wife if something was wrong with him. Vince…I read other reviews after I got home and totally agree and glad it was just not me…He was off the whole night, pitch and time. MC….Tommy Lee is a master as a drummer, Nikki Sixx and Mik Mars are fantastic musicians. Even thought the few new songs were good. Sounded as good as when I first saw them 30+ years ago. Really loud but it worked.ĭL was AMAZING! Just flat out amazing. HE did not like JJ, Poison got him awake, DL floored him and was rocking away…. At 54, have seen all over the years but wanted to bring my 16 son to hear what I loved. I hope this was just an off night and Vince is able to still deliver the iconic vocals that made Motley Crue the legendary band they are. He may just be too old and not have it like he used to, but it’s really sad because the rest of the show was great and the rest of the Motley Crue band members can still play their respective instruments at the highest level. Not only did he sound bad vocally, but he also frequently missed lyrics and was off key. It’s sad because Motley Crue is legendary and Vince had one of the best 80’s glam metal voices that was truly distinct and iconic, but he sounded so bad at Coors Field that it kind of ruined the experience. I haven’t looked into reports on other tour stops so he could have been having an off night or sick or something, but when you compare Vince’s vocals with the other bands lead singers that night, it was obvious that Vince was struggling and not an issue of the venue and sound acoustics. All of the band members can still play their instruments like it’s 1984 and the moments each of them did solos really showed how talented they truly are at playing their instruments, but it couldn’t make up for how bad Vince’s singing was. I’m surprised this review (and any I have seen so far) have not addressed how bad Vince sounded.

Tommy Lee’s drum set was surrounded by these extremities. Jagged metal clusters made trees and nests of steel, surrounding each band member. Suffice to say, the band had lots of time to plan, and their stage set-up reflected as much. This was their first stop in Denver since a pump fake “farewell tour” in 2014/2015. ” Nikki Sixx, Mick Mars, Vince Neil and superstar Tommy Lee, who joined the tour late due to a set of broken ribs, all had this marked on their calendar for years. For a band that sports an edge as sharp as Mötley Crüe has for decades, an explosive first song is a must - and they delivered, kicking things off with “ Wildside. Their set kicked off with the “emergency broadcast” trope, as it cut through blips of news anchors reporting on their sightings. They are a band of the night - true savants of wielding the aesthetic, sound and lifestyle surrounding the appealing darkness of mainstream heavy metal of the ’80s. In all reality, it’s the only time of day Mötley Crüe should ever be performing. The second intention, however, was sort of disappointing, but completely understandable.īy this time, the sky had completely darkened.

The cats who held down hair nation across the pond came out with two intentions: one, of course, was to give their fans a long-overdue taste of the classics, three of which they stacked at the end of their performance - “ Pour Some Sugar on Me, ” “ Photograph ” and “ Rock of Ages, ” a record featuring an unforgettable introduction by super-producer Mutt Lange, the ‘Gunter glieben, glauchen globen’ spoken by a man who teamed with the band in ’83 to create an epoch of pop/rock crossover, Pyromania. Next was Def Leppard, in all their British glory. Fans reminisced through screams, hearing memories of their teenage years with the raunchy, addicting “ Talk Dirty to Me, ” or “ Every Rose Has Its Thorn, ” the crew’s biggest song from a chart perspective. Michaels caught air on more than one occasion, showing off his kicks and air punches in spry fashion.

DeVille broke out all the stops on his auburn and red V-shaped beauty - a style of guitar body made famous by bands like these. At Coors Field, Poison was lively during their punchy set.
