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.

12 Monkeys - Universal Studios and Lebbeus Woods

In 1987 an artist by the name of Lebbeus Woods created a picture. Eight years later he goes to see a movie called 12 Monkey starting Bruce Willis. Several times in the movie Bruce Willis's character is brought to a room with a chair that is raised several metres off the ground for him to be interrogated. This scene was very surprising to Lebbeus because this interrogation room was almost the exact same picture he created years before.

I have photos of both the chair from the movies, left, and the chair created by Woods, right. When you look at them it doesn't take much to see the similarities. I am frankly very surprised that Universal let this scene ever appear. This case did not stand a chance in court, the director even admitted he got the idea from a book he read. The judge ruled in the favor of Woods resulting in Universal having to recall copies of the movie after only a month of being out. They would of been able to re released the movie after the chair scenes were taken out of the film. Even after going to court Woods allowed Universal to include the scene with the chair, in exchange for a six figure cash settlement.

I am very surprised at this case, but hopefully it taught the director and Universal the importance of getting the permission of copyright holders. In this case the director even knew he was using another persons work, and was willing to admit it. It was just a careless and stupid thing to do that ended up costing Universal thousands of dollars.
