Whomever thought having the Crew appear on Greta’s show really dislikes Greta!

Seriously, what do you expect when you bring the Crue onto FoxNews?

WisCon on June 24, 2008 at 11:08 PM

Highlights”, indeed. I, for one, don’t feel sorry for Pamela (she’s not much brighter than Anna Nicole). I am glad Nikki did the talking while Tommy Lee was left to collect his thought.

I actually thought it was awesome – not the remark itself, but the schadenfreude I felt for Fox News. They run tons of these crap segments, and finally got their just desserts. Well, do I guess it’s a break from the standard Missing White Girls programming.

Um, how else do you want anti-establishment rock personalities to act? I mean, they are old men now, and weren’t even that good back in the day, but this is exactly how they are supposed to act.

If they acted any other way, they would be seen as douchebags. That’s why their Larry King interview made them look so old and so uncool. Larry literally raped them of their coolness by the dumb questions he asked and how they responded.

muyoso on June 24, 2008 at 11:22 PM

No, you should seriously go and listen to the questions larry king asked. He asked them if people could hum along with their “tunes”. He asked them for about 20 minutes about tattoos. Who got the first one? When did he get it? Was it because of the band? It was amazing.

muyoso on June 24, 2008 at 11:38 PM

I saw this last night… What a moron. Interesting thing is that they cut that part out on foxnews.com. At any rate, who cares about this loser.

One didn’t have to be into punk to find them unappealing. My old reference to them was GreatWhiteRattSnakeLionJovi. It came to me when a classmate in highschool (backintheday) was beyond excited because he was going to “The Crue” concert that night. He was wearing a shirt from another hair band thus my catch-all name.

losers.

rihar on June 24, 2008 at 11:59 PM

Their first two albums were great but it was all down hill after that, IMO. To generic. I remember a story from way back when that Mick Mars stole his first guitar from Guitars Etc in Seattle, which I was particularly proud of at the time considering that I had been to that particular Guitars Etc many times when before that story came to light.

I also have one of Queens Ryche’s first 5000 albums, (ever), which I bought after they opened for a Dio concert in Seattle.

canopfor on June 25, 2008 at 12:37 AM

Man on the Silver Mountain definately is, sung by Dio with Blackmore on the guitar, as usual. I’m not familiar with the other song, though.

Considering that you like Rainbow, are you a Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple or Judas priest fan? If you haven’t listened to them you really should because you’d almost certainly like them at least as much, probably more.

FloatingRock on June 25, 2008 at 12:58 AM

Anyone honestly surprised?

Greta probably expected it. And wanted it.

Ugly on June 25, 2008 at 1:02 AM

Goth? I thought it was punk. What do I know? I’m 46.

jgapinoy on June 25, 2008 at 12:46 AM

Oh, well I’m a tad younger than you, but honestly I only sampled about 30 seconds of the video because I was listening to Steve Miller and Motley Crew at the time. I only called it goth because the segment I watched included a bunch of people that appeared to have the white faces with black lipstick, etc, that I normally associate with Gothic persona’s. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Like I said, The Cure’s Disintigration is one of the best albums ever, IMO. It’s far from Punk, but if you haven’t heard it maybe you should…. but be warned it’s not upbeat music so it’s not for everybody.

FloatingRock on June 25, 2008 at 1:05 AM

SouthernDem

Are you really a Dem?
Anyway, I went to those links, & thank you for your suggestions, but I think I oughtta point out that I prefer Christian (or at least positive-squeaky-clean) music like the link I provided at 11:45PM. Or like this.

jgapinoy on June 25, 2008 at 1:07 AM

You’d love Ozzy then!

J/K. Seriously though, I’m one of those that listen to the music far more so than the words. I also listen to a lot of classical music even though I don’t understand the the various languages. When it comes to Black Sabbath and Ozzy, for example, which is some of the best music ever performed, IMO, I don’t take it literally, I appreciate it as fantasy. I read a lot of science-fiction and fantasy so it’s easy for me to listen to it from a creative perspective rather than the literal.

I don’t expect you to understand, though, and that’s not meant as an insult. :)

However, you’re really missing out.

FloatingRock on June 25, 2008 at 1:19 AM

Does the Clash count as punk? They were one of the first popular bands I had an interest in when I was a kid.

I have pretty diverse musical interests so I probably share something in common with a lot of the readers here, but I don’t listen to gospel, unless James Brown counts, and I don’t listen to Country/Western, unless the Almond Brothers count—-and I think they’re usually classified as southern-rock or something like that.

FloatingRock on June 25, 2008 at 1:24 AM

FloatingRock on June 25, 2008 at 1:24 AM

Clash is counted.

And, dude, it’s Allman Bros. : )

SouthernDem on June 25, 2008 at 1:27 AM

jgapinoy

I appreciate your desire to listen to “squeaky clean” music, but there’s really no excuse for listening to pop-punk.

Try Sparta –

or The Receiving End of Sirens:

Or if you want to stretch yourself a little, The Dear Hunter:

If you want Christian bands, Tooth and Nail is a label that is almost exclusively Christian.

Dead Hand Control on June 25, 2008 at 1:29 AM

I guess his purported big shwanz isn’t enough?

gmoonster on June 25, 2008 at 1:42 AM

unless the Almond Brothers count

I love them. Sweet Home Alabama is one of my favorite songs. The slide guitar solo by Clapton is classic. Free Bird by Neil Young and Crazy Horse is also one of the best Southern Rock songs. And don’t forget the Marshall Tucker Band’s The Devil Went Down to Georgia. Dicky Betts on the fiddle is awesome.

Mallard T. Drake on June 25, 2008 at 1:46 AM

SouthernDem on June 25, 2008 at 1:27 AM

I’ve spent a massive number of hours listening to them, although not so much in recent years. I’m a fan now but I used to hate them. My dad used to play a recording he made of them from the King Biscuit Flower Hour, (a radio program), around 30 years or so ago. It’s an interesting story because he used to play the same recording at bedtime every single night we spent at our family cabin when I was growing up, for years. I had to try to fall asleep listening to that music and used to hate it, especially considering that while listening to it I was particularly concerned that BigFoot or a bear might crash through the window at any time and kill me. (I was usually in the top bunk directly in front of a window.)

Now I’m a big fan, although I haven’t listened to them in the past few years.

FloatingRock on June 25, 2008 at 1:50 AM

Mallard T. Drake on June 25, 2008 at 1:46 AM

Have you listened to any Doc Watson or Chet Atkins? They’re different than the Alman Brothers but you’d probably like them, especially Doc Watson. Doc is folk music, but if you like the one you’ll probably like the other.

FloatingRock on June 25, 2008 at 1:56 AM

if you like the one you’ll probably like the other.

Well, at least my brother and I do.

FloatingRock on June 25, 2008 at 2:01 AM

BJ on June 25, 2008 at 2:09 AM

FloatingRock on June 25, 2008 at 1:56 AM

I’ve heard them but didn’t take to them. For Southern Rock, it starts and ends with Duane’s slide guitar. His solo at the end of “Done Somebody Wrong” on Fillmore East is genius. Short and sweet.

Mallard T. Drake on June 25, 2008 at 2:11 AM

jgapinoy on June 25, 2008 at 1:07 AM

News Boys, Fuse Box, DC Talk (And after the split each of their solo works)

P.S. Kick Start my Heart was the only thing that Crew ever did everything else was poser to the core.

P.P.S. Now off to listen to some romanian industrial of russian techno.

You know you’re old and so yesterday when your album promotional tour includes Larry and Greta.

TheBigOldDog on June 25, 2008 at 6:46 AM

All right, well…somebody has to state the obvious, here, and I guess it may as well be me.

I don’t know whose standards are lower – Fox’s (for booking Motley Crue in the first place), or Tommy Lee’s.

Also. Black Sabbath are one of the most brilliant bands of all time, and literally created metal as we know it today. Ozzy, on the other hand, is the pathetic, smoldering shell of a washed-up sellout. While Sabbath may have recorded some of their most groundbreaking albums while Ozzy was in their lineup, that does not automatically put him on the same musical level. In my opinion, he hasn’t recorded any decent music since he was kicked out of Sabbath, and that was, what…thirty years ago? Yeah.

Oh, and Chet Atkins is insane. And I mean that in a good way.

Cylor on June 25, 2008 at 7:06 AM

She should have replied: “I’m not wearing any”.

gzelmiami on June 25, 2008 at 7:25 AM

So, these geezers are still alive? I would have figured they would have kicked it by now, with all the drugs, alcohol, and VD in their lives. Learn something new every day. I always figured Greta to go commando, heck, I thought she played for the other team for years. I still can’t believe she’s a Scientologist though.

As to music, I like a little bit of everything. Weezer and Bear McCreary are always in my car/mp3 player. I listen to Devo and Mozart operas on my ‘puter. I can’t explain. : )

Anna on June 25, 2008 at 8:18 AM

True story – I met the Crue in 1987. My father worked with a guy who was childhood friends with their manager. I was 13 at the time. We went to the concert and then backstage. Oddly enough, Tommy Lee was very nice to me being a younger kid. He talked with me, was friendly and signed lots of stuff. Nikki Sixx was a complete a-hole. I asked for his signature and he ignored me on a few attempts. Then again, I think he was on the heroin then. Just my experience ..

matd on June 25, 2008 at 8:38 AM

Totally floors me that these guys are back together AND that they think doing geezer cable news shows is a good marketing strategy. But that just proves that they never were too bright.

LtE126 on June 25, 2008 at 10:40 AM

The other three were totally polite during the interview. Tommy Lee was the only one acting like a jackass. They cut that line out of the repeat later that night. Tommy Lee is actually the most talented one in that band.

Maybe Tommy is a liberal and didn’t want to be on Fox.

Metro on June 25, 2008 at 10:49 AM

No offense, but I can’t see what people like in that “new punk”.

Same here. The whole punk-pop / pop-punk thing leaves me cold — it’s just major-chord melodies and over-enunciated adenoidal vocals, with very little in the way of either b*lls or *ss. The power-pop thing goes back to the Beatles and the garage rock of the 60s (Little Steven’s Underground Garage channel on Sirius is actually pretty good for that stuff), but most of it since Cheap Trick hasn’t interested me much.

But then again, I’m mostly a dinosaur-rock type.

My punk tastes are mainly along the lines of this, this, this, or this.

And here’s the Crue at their peak. They rocked for a while, but were dragged down by excess. Tommy’s a notorious sleaze, approaching dirty-old-man-hood these days, and he ain’t ever been the sharpest tack in the drawer.

Alex_SF on June 25, 2008 at 11:13 AM

In my opinion, [Ozzy] hasn’t recorded any decent music since he was kicked out of Sabbath, and that was, what…thirty years ago?

Make that since Diary of a Madman (1981) and I’m with you. The first two solo albums were brilliant, largely due to the songwriting and guitar playing of the late Randy Rhoads. But he’s definitely a burned-out shell now, and a Hillary Clinton donor along with that.

True story – I met the Crue in 1987… I was 13 at the time. We went to the concert and then backstage… Tommy Lee was very nice to me

That’s because Tommy was only a couple of years older than you at the time. You guys could’ve traded baseball cards and talked about how would win in a Spiderman vs. Wolverine brawl–of course, most of Tommy’s baseball cards would’ve had cocaine on them.

I bought the new Crue single in Rock Band and like it. As long as I don’t play at Expert level, I’m consistently in the high 90s for Guitar and Bass.

Well, yeah, but again, that goes to the point that basically none of the musical achievements attributed to Ozzy have ever been of his own doing.
