Do Motley Crue fans concede that they are a sleazy band and thats the reason Ed dislikes them? He says he dind't care much for hair metal, but he specifically calls out the Girls x3 and stuff like that they represented.

But what they represented is a tad more okey, if the band has "teeth".

Will somebody give this dude a Xanax and a warm blanket. Jesus.

You have to admit though, his logic is perfectly sound.

But if you made a song for Friday the 13th part 6: Jason Lives and played Freddy Krueger's dad, you have a pass to do as you wish forever.

I dont know if anyone else is watching the pam and tommy show on hulu which is pretty entertaining.  They definitely portray tommy as a complete douche bag.

Of the few bigger musicians I've actually met - Tommy was incredibly nice and humble. Maybe he wasn't that way during the Method of Mayhem era...

When I met him, he seemed to have zero interest. They had just done a press conference type thing at the Hard Rock Cafe in Boston for Generation Swine, (they were doing 3 cities a day if I recall) and I knew the building having done some contract work there and knew where they'd exit so went to get them to sign Rolling Stone magazine. Nikki was very cool, engaged and pleasant. Mick honestly seemed shocked anyone approached him and was very nice. Vince and Tommy both seemed disinterested. Their limo had to do a loop around the block due to a side street being one way and he seemed perturbed, just wanted out of there, but that extra time did allow me to get him to sign the magazine.
If I recall that was not a great time in his personal life, because I've heard he's generally a nice guy. He wasn't rude or anything (Pete Townshend takes the cake for that, different story for a different day), just wanted to be somewhere else,

This thread almost makes me wish we had social media and internet forums back when Vince was challenging Axl to a televised fight 

After watching some of the videos that have been posted I feel sorry for Mick Mars. The guy has been in chronic pain all of his career but still does a better job on stage than Vince ever has.

I used to love Motley Crue when I was a kid. I was 11 when I first saw the Wild Side video and it seemed like a lot of fun. Of course when you're that young you don't really understand everything that was going on, but there were a ton of 80s hair bands all doing the same thing (and Motley had better songs). The last album of theirs that I bought was the Corabi one, I still think it's a solid album and it would have been interesting to see where they could have gone if they'd kept that sound.

It probably sounds patronising but now I just think of them as something I grew out of, like a cartoon I used to watch as a kid. I follow Nikki on IG (for his photography more than the music), but Tommy blocked me a few years ago

Why did tommy block you?

It was quite a few years ago, and it was a couple of days after a mass shouting in the US. I can’t recall which one. Tommy posted a video of him and someone else shooting up an old car with automatic rifles. I - and a lot of other people - commented with something like “dude, not the best timing!” and didn’t think anything else of it. I mean, it’s Tommy Lee, he posts crazy shit all the time.

The respect I was taught on the ownership and use of guns by my grandfather definitely would not have included the use of automatic rifles shooting up old cars.
