Nikki Sixx wrote 3, maybe 4 great songs, Vince Neil can't (and could never) sing, Tommy Lee sure can't either (decent piano player, tho), and I have nothing bad to say about Mick Mars, or any of the other Crue-verse musicians.
That being said:
Poison > Crue
Extreme > Crue
Kick Axe > Crue
Mr. Big > Crue
L.A. Guns > Crue
Quiet Riot > Crue
David Lee Roth > Crue
Enuff Znuff > Crue
early (and later) Pantera > Crue
Not gonna compare Pearl Jam to Motley Crue. That'd be like comparing a ribeye steak to McDonalds. You compare McDonalds to Wendy's, Burger King, and White Castle
Opinions are like assholes, we all have one.
None of those listed are better, but I'm guessing you know that and were looking for a reply
👋
Wasn't lookin', but figured I'd razz the hair metal crowd Extreme was better, tho lol

Pearl Jam sets fastest sellout records for Wrigley Field. Motley Crue can't sellout Wrigley, even when dragging along 3 other name bands. Why are we talking about this?
Selling out certain places or not. Why are you talking about that?
Mr Sixx's claim is that Pearl Jam is one of the most boring bands of all time. I'm trying to follow his logic: They are so boring that they quickly sell out stadiums, by themselves, that The Crue couldn't even dream of filling?
FYI - the Wrigley show for Motley Crue, Def Leppard and Poison was originally sold out before the pandemic. It's not currently sold out due to many people taking refunds from 2 postponements. I took my refund after they postponed it a 2nd time last summer.

Eddie made a comment at the Newark show tonight that was something like Chad Smith doesn’t need a drum kit that flys into the air and spins around to be good. Hmm. I wonder who that was about
Maybe PJ can bring out the pyrotechnics & get Matt to do solo's in revolving cage to make them less boring, just sayin

"Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"
Also, for the people talking concert sizes....this is a measure of popularity, yes? Wouldn't album sales also be a measure of that, specifically for any grandpa bands like ones formed in 80s or 90s, before the days of the download ruining that? Motley Crue sold out stadiums for years.
My money is on Eddie in a fight.....I feel as if Nikki would be too concerned with his nails and makeup and hair....Ed looks like he would be a scrapper....

I've met both in person. Sixx physically has about 6-7 inches of height and who knows how much weight on Ed. Ed would definitely be fighting way out of his division.

IT'S ON LIKE DONKEY KONG
Kind of using a cheatcode throwing in South American crowds though.
- Mötley Crüe
- Whoever wrote the single Girls, Girls, Girls
- Tommy Lee
- Women who have the same haircut as Heather Locklear
Who will be next?

Ha. Nice. He also has Ted Nugent on there.
