Motley Crue/Aerosmith 2006 Tour Thread

[axlrosegnr]

When this was announced, I was very excited. Right up until the ticket prices were announced. First off, I'm only really intrested in Motley. I have nothing against Aerosmith, but just not the big of a fan. Second, each band only played for 75 minutes. Also, $200 for an arena show is too much for me if it's not Gn'R. The last time I saw Motley, I paid right around $200, but, they gave a 2 hour setlist, and it was at The Joint in the Hard Rock, so I think I will just wait until Motley comes again by themselves. I know BOTH bands would probably like to play longer, but they do have to keep in schedule with the venue. This is why I don't like Co-headling shows and festivals.

Motley had the same setlist as Night 1 and apparently were on fire and had tons of pyro

Aerosmith have fucked me over twice on concerts so I dont know if I trust them or not.

What happened?

First show was when Steven Blew his knee out when he hit it on a mic stand. I wasn't pissed real pissed off cause I hadn't bought tickets yet.

2nd time though:

I bought 10th row center seats from one of those bookin agencies. 300 dollars for 2 tix. Drove 2 and a half hours, paid for the hotel

we were goin to see Dwight Yoakam on Friday Night Aerosmith on Saturday Night.

Get to the Dwight concert and their are posters up sayin Aerosmith cancelled due to Tyler's throat.

Monday he is on TRL talkin fine about to play New York that night.

I was out 300 for the tickets as the agency didnt refund my cash.

No Dream On Again

[gnr1967]

I was looking forward to hearing Dream On also.? I was surprised that the setlist was so short!

Anyhow, it was great to see them live again.? I loved the cake that the girls brought out for Joe Perry's birthday.? When he took the mic after they brought the birthday cake out for him (singing Stop Messin' Around), he sounded great!? His voice is definitely cleaner-sounding then it was the last time I heard him sing.?

This was my 6th show (I think) to see Aerosmith - they put on a good show this time.? Steven sounded great, and Joe Perry was on fire.? I only wish I had better seats.? ?? (I can't complain though...I saw them up close twice in Hershey PA.? The Pittsburgh shows are always too big for my tastes - unless you pay a small fortune, you need binoculars to get a good view)

Motley Crue were okay - it was my first time seeing them live.?

[stinson4ever]

I work at germain amphitheater so i got to see the show and some other cool stuff.

OK so i got to the venue around 5 to check in early. I walk into the venue and watch aerosmith finish there soundcheck. It was there first show of the tour so they had a lot to work on. They jammed on under pressure it was sweat. So they finished there soundcheck and i desided to go towards the back of the venue. I saw Nikki talking with somebody so i didnt bother him. Then Tommy walked aout of the tour bus. I talked to him for a little bit. Just told him ive been watchin supernova and i cant wait to see them at the Shot later on in the year. He said the band was great and i that the supernova cd was gonna be awesome. He started to talk about the pyrotecnics for the show(they were good  )but was called on to the mainstage for souncheck so he had to go. After that i saw Joe perry walkin his dog around but didnt say anything to him. Im really regreting not talking to him. The show started a little late like around 7:30 and Crue came out stroung. Wild Side,Shout at the Devil,Same old Situation,Home Sweat Home.(I really dont listen to them to often so i dont remember all they played. Aerosmith came on about 30 minutes after Crue came off. Any thoughts about Stephen Tylers voice being weak because of the surgery were immediely gone, when they started with Same Old Song and Dance. His voice was killer and he was hitting all the notes. Joe Perry was amazing. btw they were all wearing the same clothes they wore in the 70's.some ppl never change. I missed half of the set because i had to go to the vip club and clean up. I was able to catch four more songs though at the end. Best parts of their set were the begining of sweet emotions, and walk this way.
All together a great time.

Aerosmith and Motley Crue

Tuesday night at Six Flags Darien Lake Performing Arts Center.

DARIEN CENTER - It has been suggested that Aerosmith is America's Rolling Stones, that there is no finer rock 'n' roll band in this country. Tuesday at Darien Lake, the boys from Boston made it clear that this is no mere hyperbole, no fan-based inflation of the facts, no mere nonsense.

Aerosmith - even without original bassist Tom Hamilton, who took a break from the road recently following chemotherapy treatment for throat cancer - knows no peer in American hard rock. This band is indeed a living legend.

Emerging from Massachusetts in the early '70s as a ragamuffin blend of the Yardbirds, Beatles, Stones and the Jeff Beck group, Aerosmith wasted no time making a completely brilliant r&b/funk/rock record in the form of a self-titled debut. In fact, that record had "Dream On" on it, though that wouldn't become a hit for a few years following the first album's release.

Whatever. Aerosmith was not sitting around waiting, instead taking to the road with every band you can imagine - an early '70s show at Kleinhans with Mott the Hoople and the New York Dolls is the stuff of legend in our neck of the woods - and laying its claim to a sultry blend of Beatles, Beck and James Brown along the way.

Every time the band comes to town, it's a serious party, and Tuesday night - despite pouring rain and an insulting temperature - was far from an exception. Hamilton may be sitting it out for a while, and singer Steven Tyler may be fresh back from a throat operation, but you'd never know it from the way the band played.

Opening with a torrid "Toys in the Attic," and heading straight into a killer spread of tunes from the early days, including "Mama Kin" and "S.O.S. (Too Bad)," the band locked into a groove straight away, and new bassist David Hull can take some of the credit for that.

Tyler, Hull, Perry, drummer Joey Kramer and guitarist Brad Whitford tore through a set that was heavy on the hits, but held no shortage of surprises. "Cryin' " represented the late '80s rebirth of the band in their clean-and-sober guise, and found Tyler kicking it hard and old-school blues-style at the front of the ramp extending 70 feet or so from the front of the band's stage.

He sounded a bit hoarse, but no matter. From the beginning, Tyler has been one of the greats, a singer of supreme versatility, soulfulness and chops. Tuesday, he seemed a bit tired, but he gave it all up, making it quite apparent that few can touch him in the rock frontman front.

Perry was in incredible form throughout, busting out incredible solos on a gorgeous selection of guitars that would make any collector drool. Perry was on fire, looking incredibly fit and tearing up the stage, particularly during the extended slide solo that elevated "Draw the Line."

Whitford took fewer solos, but was his usual flawless self. And Kramer? If you've ever played in a band, you know how essential a rock-solid drummer is. Kramer is that, to the 10th power. And Aerosmith can add another nearly perfect show to its scrapbook.

Motley Crue opened the set - a bit of a mismatch. This band emerged from the Hollywood-based, Whiskey-A-Go-Go '80s hair-metal craze, when every band in that town was trying to be Van Halen. Motley Crue failed, though it did make two great albums, and a few good tunes thereafter. Despite a killer stage show, strong performances from drummer Tommy Lee, bassist/songwriter Nikki Sixx and guitarist Mick Mars, the band's set was derailed by the scattershot performance of vocalist Vince Neil. We heard the hits and we saw the thrilling show, but something was missing. Perhaps it was the heart and soul of a band that deserved to mark another decade together.

[F*ck Fear]

I would have loved to see the Toronto show, but there is no way I am paying that much to see two bands I could really careless about. Both only have a tunes each I can get into anyways. It would be more of a party for me.

[Malcolm]

M?TLEY CR?E bassist Nikki Sixx has checked in from the band's "The Route of All Evil" tour with fellow music veterans AEROSMITH with the following update:

"We're in Darien Lake (where?) and leave after the show for [New York City]? my fave place as far as energy and people watching. Gonna be in the Apple for over a week, hubbing out to shows around and in the NY area? I guess you could say we're the worms in the Apple, but usually that title is held by my friend Dano's mom? I asked dano to get me hooked up to photograph 'the mole people' but it seems security is tight and on heightened alert since 9-11 when it comes to nooks and crannies? understood.

"AEROSMITH (love them) only wanna play every other day and its like watching paint dry in my hotel room? so I'll have to find some other dysfunction to photograph while the worm eats away at the Apple?

"I was just home with my wonderful kiddies?. needed a tune-up?.and a realignment with reality?.always a plus when you're on a rock tour?

"The spring season (season 2) for Royal Underground [Nikki's clothing line] is almost finished and our first season ships on October 30th. Kelly Gray [Nikki's partner in the clothing line] and I couldn't make any of the fashion week parties and events we were invited to, but next year is just around the corner?

"Fall is near? The cool is setting in and the leaves are attempting to turn all the shades of the coming football season and holiday spirits. God, I love this time of year?

"Black eyes and bloody noses seem to be the standard for the aural stimbulatation we're giving the crowds on this tour? There was this one yuppie in Dockers who walked out when I spit blood on his J. Crew shirt at the last gig? so, of course, I'm trying to get water cannons to shoot blood all over the crowd now?. I mean?look at it as a early Halloween?hahha

"Seems *no* is a word i don't like and sometimes just have to accept?maybe less days off would make me less mischievous??"

[Malcolm]

Right now it seems like time is allowing for plenty more, even with the bumps in the road that come with aging. The band has already committed to playing Europe next year and will hit a bunch of the major festivals. Perry said they?ll take some major young bands with them on a package tour but can?t say who until the deals are inked.
