I went to the Sydney show and the band (except for Vince) sounded awesome.
Mick Mars can shred like a motherfucker, which is a feat in itself considering he looks like death warmed up. And Tommy Lee and Nikki Sixx sounded great too. I was a bit disappointed that there was no drum solo though.

But Vince Neil, he sounded crap!
For the most part he missed lines, just letting the audience sing most of the songs, but when he did sing, he was all over the place, kinda warbling the words out in this weird high-pitched tone.

But other than that, great show, I'm now half deaf from the sheer volume of it all and half blind from their light show. I also have no voice left...

Motorhead were great openers too. They were insanely loud!

I think it's pretty funny that everybody in M?tley Cr?e says that they are christians and on their show they have huge fucking screens with pentagrams.

entertainment mate!!

Saw them in Brisbane last night.

Great show, although IMO a bit loud at some points to the point where I couldn't really hear Mick Mars guitar properly. It was just fucking noise.

Highlight for me was Dr. Feelgood. Damn that rocked and so did those two chicks in nurse outfits

[Jonathan]

M?TLEY CR?E bassist Nikki Sixx has posted the following message in his online diary:

"Last show with MOT?RHEAD was tonight [Saturday, Dec. 10]. We all got onstage here in Perth [Australia] and did 'Anarchy in the U.K.' Two basses, amazing. It was nice to spend so much time hanging out with Lemmy.We were talking one day about something and he cut me off and said, 'I know, I read your book.' Little things like that stun me still. We made a promise to spend more hang time in Los Angeles and I intend on keeping my end of the bargain. Tonight is my birthday in L.A. so the band gave me a cake, sang 'Happy Birthday' and no shenanigans ? they could see home in my eyes and knew I was ready to head to the hotel and pack. They're off to Hawaii for some R&R."

M?TLEY CR?E bassist Nikki Sixx has told Doug Podell of Detroit's WRIF 101.1 FM that the band will commence the songwriting/demoing process for their new studio album on May 1, 2006. Joining the group for the new album sessions will be producer Bob Rock, who previously worked with M?TLEY CR?E on their "Dr. Feelgood" and self-titled albums, as well as the three new tracks that appeared on CR?E's two-CD "greatest hits" collection, "Red, White & Cr?e", which came out in early February.

"We are definitely gonna make a new record," Sixx told WRIF earlier this month. "We go back out on tour in February. We tour into the first week of April. May 1st we start writing and rehearsals for the new music, probably demoing stuff up. We're doing the new album with Bob Rock. And then when it's ready, we're gona cut it. Our intention is to make the greatest record we've ever made. With that being said, we also believe that if we overthink it, it will lose its rawness, so we wanna get in there and just terrorize the music and then just get it on tape. That's the idea, but that's more of in a perfect world. In a M?TLEY world, we will probably get closer to getting the album done and then go, 'You know what? We're missing one or two songs,' or something, which we do a lot. We did that? 'Kickstart My Heart' was the last song written for the 'Dr. Feelgood' album.

"We are very excited about making a new record. I think new music is so important. We have a great catalog of music ? people love to hear all the hits, and we've been playing obscure songs as well ? but new music is really the lifeblood of any rock 'n' roll band. And you have to do it, you have to forge forward. Especially for bands like us and AEROSMITH and AC/DC that have been around for so long. We have to keep making new music or we become nostalgic. Which is, I think, what we all felt about KISS. We go, 'God, we love KISS, we love the show, but it's only trading on the past and not moving into the future.' So that's where we're at."

[RichardNixon]

Bob Rock is a good choice, he gets the best out of the band.

[ClintroN]

Not if he's gonna turn it all 'round n' have his way like we see in Some Kinda Monster, thats bullshit!!!
He is good at what he does but

[StradlinRose]

I'm reading "The Dirt" at the moment for the first time.

It's bloody brilliant.

So many classic moments.
