Motley Crue is back at it . A Tour entitled Cruefest (with Buckcherry,Papa Roach and Trapt), a new single the title track of the new album "Saint's of Los Angeles" is released first on the video game Rock Band and what does it all mean ? I enjoyed Motley Crue when I was a kid in the 80's and when I am visiting my local gentleman's establishment nothing brings me greater joy than to hear the opening motorcycle sound's of " Girl's, Girl's, Girl's " the title track of the Crue's 1987 album, while handing out singles to girl's working their way through college . I recently read the appropriately named biography of the band "The Dirt" It is one of the best Rock bio's to read and you should buy it now (Buy The Dirt ) but, am I excited about the return of the Crue ? Not particularly . Why? You ask. Let me count the reason's . One I heard the new single and while it is not much different than any older Crue song's it does not excite me as much as older Crue song's because well it's not different and I am . I am older and when old band's release new material most of the time they forget that the people that cared about them and what they stood for ( in the Crue's case sex, drug's, and rock and roll ) care about different thing's now and while we may like to reminisce while listening to older Crue we could care less about new Crue . Reason number two I really hope this does not mean every awful Glam Metal, Hair Metal or whatever you choose to call that bastardization of rock music in the 80's decide's this is a good idea. The last thing I want to hear is Bret Michaels decide's to release a new Poison album . CC Deville was ugly in 1986 with makeup can you imagine seeing him now ? Here is a picture to remind you just in case you forgot . Where is Axl when you need him did he not send all this garbage out the door back in the day . This is when the break up of Velvet Revolver and return of Stone Temple Pilot's become's even more important because Axl can save us once again from the impending doom that is the return of Warrant, Winger and Poison by just making up with Slash and the boy's and returning to the top where they belong . So it all come's back to the the Crue though and here is my final point by reading "The Dirt" which was awesome I realized there is not a band I could care about less while still liking them if you get what I mean . I dig some of the old music but, I care nothing about them besides maybe Nikki who seem's like a good dude . So in ending CC please don't pick up that guitar and talk to me .
