| - The Joint. Cool venue in HRH and I'm here with my sons to see Mötley Crüe. On the surface I'm watching 4 middle aged men wearing costumes from the first Mad Max movie. The singer is a little portly but he whirls around like someone far younger and although he clearly cannot sing his energy levels are quite impressive. Tommy Lee, of Pamela Anderson fame, plays a drum kit strapped into what seem like a rollercoaster, he is strapped in and plays a drum solo whilst hanging upside down and spinning in this contraption. Quite incredible.
There are flamethrowers, dancing girls, midgets (little people ..oops), fireworks BIG light show and screens . They keep reminding the audience " how crazy " they are and the crowd laps it up.
So horrible music from a band from a different and worse time but I grudgingly admit the show is fantastic. From start to finish, the energy is high, the crowd is going bananas, every song is familiar. Truly excellent, even a non fan like me could not fail to enjoy the spectacle of a Crüe show. They are here for another few days and you should go. Tickets are cheap, The Joint is the right location and I highly recommend.
