Motley Crue Saints if Los Angeles Tour 2009

On Wednesday March 11 Motley Crue came to Copps. Upon entering you could see how crowded it was. Fighting through the crowds you might of been surprised to like kids about 8 yeas old. I happen to see around 6 or 7 there was probably more. Should they of been there? Was its an appropret place for them to be? The first three bands would of been fine except for the temperary hearing loss. Which for those people who have next experinced, imagine have earplugs on and talking to people, which only lasts about 10 minutes before you can hear fine again. But as soon a Motley Crue is about to start it becomes no place for little kids. Right before Crue comes on stage, the whole stage is dark, the certain is down, then a light is projected from behind the curtain, you see the shadow of an angel. The angel moves around a little then fades away, then a shadow the devil is projected who moves a round a little to, but doesn't fade away, instead he turns to the side, revealing a large rod shape at his waist area. The angel shadow moves back in view, the devil laughs, and the angel kneels down... and you know where it goes from there. The two shadows fade away and Motley Crue starts playing, on stage you can see several bras thrown on stage, they play four songs, starting with kick start my Heart, a song about Nikki Sixxs overdose, before they stop and Tommey Lee gets off his drums and goes and to talk to the crowds. I am pretty sure I would not be able to repeat half of what he said on stage, but as he was talking several girls flash him, but one caught the whole crowds attention when she stood on her seat and took her shirt off. After this almost every song they play has scene from . After playing a couple more songs Nikki Sixx comes on, he was wasn't as bad, he just said he didn't know what to say. But I don't have to remember as its posted on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVd4qDMeXjw . Vince Neil comes on last, Mick Mars never talks, and he just introduced and talked about the different band members. The band ends on Dr.Feelgood, a song about a drug dealer in Hollywood.

Well the fact that i tell you what happened during the show may seem just a little random, but im using them to show that this show this not a place that you show bring your kid under 13.

Also this other clip is something that would never happen, but the fact that it did is kind of funny http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BQF8Rpf9vE&feature=related In the video someone throws a bottle at Nikki Sixx, there is another video that you can see the bottle, but in this on you get to see a much better reaction from Nikki.

  1. You bring up some good points John. I think that it is a really bad decision on the parent's part to bring a young child to that kind of concert. Children need to have a time in their live when they can just be kids! If they are exposed to such mature (or is it immature...) material, they are receiving certain experiences too early and they'll overlook or miss a valuable childhood experience. Bring a child to a concert like that when they are old enough to understand that what they are seeing is not what life is all about and that the behaviour is not acceptable. When they are able to make intelligent and educated decisions on their own, an experience such as that can not be harmful. However, exposing a child to those things at a time in their life when they are not able to make their own decisions could turn out harmful.
