Last night our MTV reps took us out to dinner at Brunning's and to the Motley Crue concert at the UNO Lakefront Arena afterwards. It was quite the adventure. The parking lot scene was straight out of Heavy Metal Parking Lot + 20 years. There were thousands of mulleted, T-Shirt wearing heshers drinking beer and hanging out with their augmeneted, fake tan, big haired women. I've never seen a crowd like it. Standing in line I was awestruck at the glorius trashyness present.
The performance itself was underwhelming. Their rendition of Shout At The Devil was pretty good, with full-on 60 foot flames shooting up in the background. They also played my two other favorite Crue songs, Too Young To Fall In Love and Looks That Kill. The rest of the show was filled with idiotic stuff like dancing girls, midgets, Motorcycle Riders, adolescent video animations and other lameness. Also, these guys are really old. Tommy Lee missed his sticks as he threw them into the air several times, Vince Neill seemed half drunk and was singing off key half the time, Mick Mars stood solemnly in the corner playing his guitar intently and never looking up.
My favorite part of the night were these four guys standing behind us who all strongly resembled Aqua Teen Carl in their speech. The whole time the show was going on they would giggle to each other things like, "This is so freakin' awesome dude!", "Oh looka, Nikki's breakin' out the keyboard!" and once when two of the dancing girls started making out on stage one of the guys yelled at the top of his voice, "OH HELL YEAH BRAH! That's what I'm talkin' about!" while high fiving his buddy next to him. It just doesn't get any better than that.
