Acey Trixx Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Nikki Sixx is actually really fucking hot now that he's off the heroin once and for all' date=' Vince Neil's a fat bastard, Tommy Lee doesn't look too bad either, and Mick Mars has always and will always look 800 years old. To me, Motley songs still get my heart going and make me wanna get up and dance. A lot of the stuff they did in like 2001 is actually really good and sounds relevant today. Stuff like Afraid and Hell on High Heels. But when someone says they'd rather see The Beautiful South than Motley, I know their opinion doesn't count in a Motley discussion. [/quote']is vince fat now?i just remeber seeing the enslaved video and he didnt look too great there oh well bit if a shame. does anyone know how micks back is these days? and YES! AFRAID such a great song...now all we need is a poison tour *goes away and listens to look what the cat dragged in* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardcore Mel Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 you see thats more like it' date=' a reasonable arguement in favour of the crue, shame it fell at the last hurdle with the reference to the beautiful south. not everyone's cup of tea granted but i think you'll find aforementioned beautiful south buff has every right to contribute to this discussion.[/quote']that's why said sentence was accompanied by a sticky out tongue, to denote teasing sarcasm. although i still don't think you can compare the two bands by any stretch.

delboy Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 aye i know! think it would make interesting debate....the beautiful south vs motley cruebeautiful south would win every arguement apart from 'ability to create bad over the top tunes in a rock stylee whilst wearing big wigs and spandex' and 'visits to rehab'does anybody know if there's a rock version of seminal card game top trumps available?

jester1470 Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 i disagree. all beautiful south would win is dull MOR for middle aged folk.I'm not middle-aged and i like them, and surely most of the original Motley Crue fans and band members must be middle aged by now, bet they all like the Beautiful South CheersStuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delboy Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 i disagree. all beautiful south would win is dull MOR for middle aged folk.i think you'd find the beautiful south would win musical ability, chart hits (UK), dignity and longevity for starters....but yes they are a bit dull at times....

Monk Rocker Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 I'll remember the comment that Vince Neil made to me 3 years ago at the NHRA Dallas race when the car I was working on was racing the Motley Crue sponsered car in the 1st raceday round... And I quote :"Hah! If I ever get onstage with those guys again it'll need to involve one helluva paycheck!"Ahem.My first thought when I saw this thread was "God, they must be getting a bit short of cash"!!Beautiful South? Would I go and see a band whose singer reads his lyrics at gigs? Not a hope in hell..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 yer i can just see nikki sitting with headphones on listening to the beautiful south...somehow i cant quite picture it.dunno i could, i bet he listens to celine dion, dido, beautiful south and coldplay these days. if he can remember how to work that damn CD player of course!

Would I go and see a band whose singer reads his lyrics at gigs? Not a hope in hell.....[/quote']I've seen lots of bands whose singers do this, if you have a 20 year career and a lot of albums the chances are you will forget the words occasionally. I've seen Fish get it wrong, he's still an amazing singer, I saw video's where Freddie Mercury got it wrong, he was the best frontman ever. If thats how you judge the criteria of a good gig then you really need to re-evaluate things I think. Someone's memory does not make them a good frontman.

Acey Trixx Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Beautiful South? Would I go and see a band whose singer reads his lyrics at gigs? Not a hope in hell.....i totally agree there actually. just summin about it aint right..i mean if the musicians can rember their parts why cant the singer remeber theirs so to speak..

jester1470 Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 i wouldnt think so since hes got the Brides Of Destruction as well and i cant really hear the celine dion influences there...I thought the point was that you could like different genre's I like the beautifull South, Metallica, Dido, Def Leppard, Asia, tatu, Racine, Transvision Vamp, Wolfsbane, Iron Maiden, Marillion etc etc... liking one genre doesn't preclude you from liking another...CheersStuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tv tanned Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 not wanting to pick a major fight, but isn't there a GnR live video where Axl Rose is using an autocue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monk Rocker Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 The singer in the Beautiful South reads his lyrics off sheets of paper on a music stand on stage, and when he's not singing he wanders off the stage. Hardly good frontman material is it?Yeah it's not inconcievable that you might forget the words occaisionally. At least with Axl using an autocue it's out of sight of the audience......
