Well there's my little guide to romance…minus the guide part…and the romance part...
So does that have your attention? Good! Pages are stating that The Pretty Reckless have released their most controversial video to date, however honestly I don't see the big issue! Let's be honest, rock's seen far worse/controversial/horrific/nudity etc. I mean it comes with the job description doesn't it? The whole sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll thing! I personally love the video! No not for that reason! I think The Pretty Reckless have found a sound and look that suits all members of the band, Momsen herself no longer looks like the teen playing the big league, she's starting to make her mark in the industry; now I can't wait for the new album to be released! Well here's the video…enjoy! But not too much! Yes I'm talking to you…yes you right there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHBxJCq99jA
Let’s have a moment of
silence for one of the most iconic glam metal bands to date. Mötley Crüe, one
of the first to emerge in the ‘hair metal’ scene in the early 80’s, have
announced that they are officially putting down their hair spray cans and retiring.
At a press conference
yesterday (28th January) announcement was made; with each member of
the bands names engraved into gravestone. Mick Mars stated “It’s time for us to throw the towel in.” sure, like
most bands, Mötley have played the ‘break up’ card before, however this
time they have signed a contract stating that they will no longer tour after
the year 2015 (predicted finale of the farewell tour).
But can we really expect them
to go out quietly? Of course not! This is Mötley
Crüe, the band who has been described
constantly throughout the years as one of the world’s most notorious bands in
metal. With their hedonistic lifestyles and personas conquering the hearts of
their fans, as well as challenging every establishment that gets thrown their
way. Sure, all the original members have had their brushes with the law, but
what band in the 80’s hadn’t? It most certainly didn’t stop their passion for
music and performance; instead fuelled their desire to become more and more
extravagant. Nikki Sixx can be quoted saying “We want to leave a legacy
and have dignity. We want to call it a day and be proud.” Which I’m sure they
will have no trouble in succeeding.

As if this wasn’t quite enough, the band also announced that Alice
Cooper will be their supporting act. The two have never toured together before;
however Cooper ensures that the tour will capture “rock and roll at its most
extreme.” So far, these dates have been announced: http://www.ticketmaster.com/Motley-Crue-tickets/artist/910417 although the band
expects the tour to take two years, thus more dates to be shortly announced for
2015.
Extremely (and I mean extremely!) Brief History
Crüethemselves are one of the world’s best-selling groups
of all time, having sold more than 100 million albums worldwide, 25 million in
the US alone. Forming in 1981, the band had numerous turnovers of members
throughout their 33 years together, however the original members have been back
together since 2005, in which they played their reunited tour; and now will play together for the last
time.
Mötley Crüe have inspired individuals and bands globally; each pay their respects to the icons who shaped their lives to be how they are today: (with the trending #RIPMotleyCrue)
#RIPMotleyCrue - Will always be a
huge fan.. Thanks for great memories to great songs <3 @ddlovato
Thanks
to @NikkiSixx & Motley for
being the most badass band on the planet and inspiring so many of us to make
music #ripmotleycrue@AndyBVB
To me Motley Crüe is so much more than a
group of musicians. They represent a lifestyle. Sometimes even more than their
songs, I enjoy what they represent. Reckless abandon, danger, and risk taking.
Their 'devil may care' attitude has bled into and inspired most of my favorite
bands. To me, they are as influential as The Ramones or The Beatles.
@JCCharles8
Now the gentleman above…yes you know who he is…he's the guitarist of The Relapse Symphony, whom I have previously interviewed, I strongly suggest you head over to youtube to become addicted!…anyways…like the title of this post JC's favourite song by Crüe is Kickstart My Heart again if you haven't heard it I strongly suggest you go listen to it…ya know what I'm going to make your life a lot easier and provide you guys with a link to the video…aren't I nice?
So here we are…at the end of an era…an era that has lasted 33 years…bands who can still fill venues out this late in their career definitely deserve far more recognition then they are given.
