RIP Mรถtley Crรผe
Happy New Year 2016!
ย
As the end of the year was coming up, very quickly, I had to think about the Concerts Iโve attended and enjoyed in 2015.
ย
I had thought that Kroq Acoustic were the last shows? After careful consideration though, Motley Crue sparked a thought! All the hype of Motley Crue and RIP, The End is Near?, Well why not? I did miss The Struts at the Kroq Acoustic Show due to traffic in L.A and they are the Opening Act for Motley Crue.
ย
Now time for the Opening Act, The Struts, they were very energized and full of excitement. Frontman Luke brought back a nostalgic look to his wardrobe to only compliment his performance. I donโt want to give away the amazing sounds they are moving to bring back but this is a group that you must follow as they take it to the top. Luke, Jed, Geth & Adam are definitely guys to follow this year. The Struts announced the release of their Music on CD so look out for it in March of 2016.
We look forward to hearing more from these Lads (Did I mention their from the UK)? Go have a look and follow them, you wonโt be sorry.

As I glanced around at the fans I couldnโt help but notice the dress vibe as it had an 80โs theme and thought , โI know these are long time fans of Motley Crue and they brought along their Families". The Concession Stands were selling plastic cups for $3.00 and I thought that was a great way to have everyone walk away with memories of the night.

34 years ago, there were 4 visibly drunk Mother F***** walking the streets of Hollywood, was Vince Neils opening statement. Vince Neil got the crowd on their feet screaming.

Motley Crue came out singing with Pyrotechnics. The Fire could be felt throughout the arena and the energy was Great. Vince, Nikki, Mick and Tom all performed with passion and fun. Tommy Lee had a drum roller coster that went far out on to the floor and turned as it moved. They played all of the favorites, Girls,Girls,Girls, Wild Side, Primal Scream, S.O.S, Smoking in The Boys Room, Looks That Kill, Live Wire and if they didnโt play your Favorite song, Donโt go away Mad (Just Go Away) (hahaha, get what I did there) etcโฆ.Personal stories were told giving an inside look at Motley Crue and how the band came together. In the end the 1 and only encore was Home Sweet Home and they performed it on a middle stage on the floor.

In front of us was a guy head banging, singing and enjoying the show. Also in the row in front of us was a 7 year old boy, and his family, he had a smile ear to ear as he watched the show and his mom dance to the music. You know who you are sweetheart and thank you for sharing that you and your family were going to ring in The New Year with Motley Crue again on New Years Eve. Our Future is in your hands so keep the Music alive and Cathy, keep in touch if you can, I would love to make sure (B, for short) stays Happy and Healthy. Thank You for allowing us to take the photos and we wish you a Happy 2016!

Thank You goes out to Motley Crue & The Struts, It was an honor to watch all of the memories being created on December 30, 2015.

Motley Crue R.I.P show was my last show for the year of 2015. Announcement was made that a DVD of the show will be available for purchase soon so look out for it and go buy it.
