The show was great. I was never a big fan of godsmack till I saw them live. Motley crue was great but performance wise...Godsmack literally abused motley on stage. I saw motley for the first cruefest and thought they came in second to papa roach which tortured motley as well. Don''t get me wrong..motley crue kicks ass..but they are no longer the big dawgs. I hope to god godsmack comes back for cruefest. Here is the list of bands I would like to see for crufest 3: 1. Motley Crue (Ofcourse) 2. My Chemical Romance 3. Godsmack 4. Papa Roach and 5. Poison Now THATS a lineup.

“Crue Fest 2” Motley Crue Godsmack Theory of a Deadman Drowning Pool Charm City Devils Walnut Creek Sunday, Aug. 23, 2009 The only Festival to hit The Creek in 2009 is this “Crue Fest 2” and it not only kept the ball rolling but there was no posing about it, it was full-on all day, cranking up with Raleigh’s own EFFIGY opening on the upper parking lot stage. The people parked in that lot had a choice tailgating location, hang at their car with all their personal party equipment and the bands on stage were right there in front of them. It was like a Drive-In Rock Show, what a concept. The upper stage cycled through a couple of bands then the CHARM CITY DEVILS were on the main stage before 5:00pm. You have to love when the Rock Star Lead Singer John Allen is putting shout-outs to 96rock as he is taking straight shots from his 5th of Captain Morgan and the visits with The Captain were a recurring theme throughout this section of the evening. Since they just played DownTownLive CCD know all about Raleigh even announcing the Deep South after party and went into their great schtick describing how much they need us all to buy their CD because, then going into their lyrics: “It’s All About The Money”. After each main stage band another act would crank-up on the parking lot stage but at some point bouncing back and forth in between was taking too much time especially when you add in all the distractions that lay between them so I planted myself down front to be ready for the next big act. DROWNING POOL, the little ole metal band from Texas is up with their 3rd new lead singer: Ryan McCombs and he works the stage like he has done it before and he has with other bands like SOIL and from what you read band break-ups can be as nasty as divorces. Maybe worse. Ryan uses a long chrome mic stand with an old style ’30 mic and the man throws it through the air like he is the Drum Major leading the parade down Bourbon Street. The lead guitar player C. J. Pierce thrashed his Flying-V and what a wild look he wore with a full black beard, Chinese braid coming out of the back of his head and everything else was shaved. Some of their captivating songs had a haunting, rhythmic sound that built from beginning to end and all went wild when they played: “TEAR AWAY” with the lyrics: I don't care about anyone else but me I don't care about anyone or anything And why not hit us with the Big Guns for the finale: “LET THE BODIES HIT THE FLOOR” and after it was over people were stunned looking around saying, “All this and it’s not even dark yet.” We saw the light and it was good, for it lead us to the upper parking lot for the band: CAVO and they had more people rushing there when they played their #1 Billboard Hit: “CHAMPAGNE” Well Coulda been the champagne The champagne Coulda been the cocaine The cocaine Coulda been the way you looked at me That told me we were through The cycle continues with THEORY OF A DEADMAN and their badass song: BAD GIRLFRIEND but I did not know just how bad she was until I looked at the lyrics and if this was not such a Wicked Distribution I don’t know that I could print it: My Girlfriend's a d**k magnet, My Girlfriend's gotta have it She's hot, can't stop, up on stage, doing shots, Tip the man he'll Ring the bell, get her drunk she'll scream like h@ll. Dirty girl, gettin' down, dance with guys from outta town. Grab her axx, actin' tough. Mess with her, she'll f**k you up. No one really knows if she's drunk or if she's stoned, but she's …She's a bad, bad girlfriend! Man does she have a Identical Twin Sister? A cousin that looks a lot like her? Is her Mother young? I’m reaching here help me. Lead singer: TYLER CONNOLLY looks completely different from most metal mania singers, his hair in a greased down ‘50’s pompadour style which never moved but you thought it might come alive at any minute. They kept sampling opening riffs of other artists like Lynyrd Skynyrd, Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple’s “Smoke On The Water” but they never ran through one, which was disappointing. Now the Sun was setting and you could feel the energy level of the crowd moving up a notch with GODSMACK up next. The talk was everywhere, so many had been waiting for this their first time or a renewal of the metal celebration with GS now back out on the road after a stretch of off time. Lead Singer: SULLY ERNA did not get fat and happy during their hiatus, this man was in shape to rock the venue and they brought all the explosives and the root cause of the talked about global warming is here tonight because the Pyro Man rarely removed his finger from the flame throwers. There was a big “GODSMACK” banner hanging behind all the equipment and the raging inferno kept it blowing around to the point that you thought it might fire-up itself and people would have loved that added entertainment. Sully is a Leader, “We are going to do ‘Whiskey Hangover’ and if your radio station is not playing that one call them.” And then he went on to bait us, “The Tour stops next in West Palm Beach and if you want me to go there and talk about how much hell Raleigh North Carolina can raise you have to do it now!” And if anybody is sitting down, get your ass up or get your ass out!” and proceeded to kick our talked about ass with “SNAKEBITE”. GodSmack had a drum kit on a circular drum riser that could be moved around by remote control going anywhere on the stage. Then they rolled out another drum kit so there were two independently moving drums running around, spinning in circles like bump cars and the crowd went wild, wilder, wildest. The later the evening goes the harder my notes about it are to read plus add in the fact that this Festival had a camera phobia so I have little to no pictures to spike the memories. What is it, there is always a reason; maybe Tommy Lee did not want pictures out there of someone else playing his drums. It looks like Rock Bands would be more worried when people do not want to take their picture. Regardless we are here to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Motley Crue’s “Dr. FEELGOOD” album which if as advertised was played in its entirety but after several rotations in the beer line I will just have to take their word. The original Dr. Feelgood Tour played The Dean Dome 20 years ago and it was the one where drummer and sex tape legend Tommy Lee ‘s drum kit was in a chrome metal frame which was lifted up to the ceiling of the coliseum, ran out over the crowd on a rail and spun in 360 degree flipping Zipper Ride gyrations as he ripped through his routine. None of that tonight, since Tommy somehow trashed his left hand they rang up the bullpen and brought in reliever Morgan Rose from SevenDust who if you would ask Pamela Anderson, he is no Tommy Lee but he threw them across for strikes and put us in the win column. Vince Neil, I’ve seen him when he was lame and either could not hit the note or remember the word so held out the mic for the crowd to carry him but tonight was not that night. He ran around the stage in fine form jumping up on anything that got in his way and reaching down to mix it up with the crowd. Since I was on the right side Mick Mars was in front of me and he is serious about his business. Wearing the black hat, black shirt, black leather pants with platform boots he had his way with any and all of the guitars that the techs kept bringing him. After literally dying and having life kick started back to his heart these moments must be extra special like others could never imagine. The Crue brought all the trucks with all the effects. Flame was everywhere, not only did it burn when the pyro button was pushed but it seemed to have to keep burning until it burnt off. Under and around the stage there were massive jets of cold smoke that shot through the air like it was coming out of the back of a jet engine. There were all the bells and whistles but The Crue knows how to use the old school Rock effects: aka: Very Hot Women in Very Wicked Outfits. This formula never gets old and always works. The guys like it, the girls like it and you can damn sure bet the Band likes it. It’s not over until it’s over, but it’s over… …LEE http://96rockonline.com/sectional.asp?id=32723 http://www.myspace.com/funkyneighborlee

I've been enjoying a variety of concerts this summer and have to say that Cruefest 2 is the bottom of the barrel and believe Vince Neil should offer everyone at the show in Dallas a refund. The opening acts were great though I didn't know all of their songs. Godsmack really blew away, performance-wise, the Crue. All because Sully could actually SING. I compliment the patience and ability of Mick, Nikki, and Tommy for putting up with such a low-caliber singer. Vince literally was unable (or unwilling) to string together a full line of lyrics. I heard countless people mention "Wow, Vince only sang like every third word" or "Why pay to see Motley Crue when Vince just has the crowd sing." On and on...not a single person had anything good to say about Vince Neil. The show itself was great, the set-list was a good one, and Vince was absolutely awful.

Motley Crue At The Ford Amphitheater In Tampa, FL On July 3, 2008 This show was on July 03, 2008 with Motley Crue, Buck Cherry, and Sixx AM. It was held festival style at the Ford Amphitheater in Tanpa, FL. Chris Ann and I had Pit seats which is standing room only up front. We were 4 people deep from the stage. I brought my camera and got about 85 pictures, 55 of which came out great and are on my website to look at: http://www.fsukxaz.com/ReviewMotleyCrue.html Motley Crue played "Wild Side", "Girls Girls Girls", "Shout At The Devil", "Helter Skelter", "Smokin' In The Boy's Room", "Home Sweet Home", "Kickstart My Heart", "Too Young Too Fall In Love", "Looks That Kill", and some others including the new "Saints Of Los Angeles" which is on an upcoming album. Buck Cherry came out and joined them on stage for 1 song. The music was very good, but not great. I've seen Motley Crue 5 times and this may have been my least favorite show of theirs. The SoCo was in full swing as usual. It was a very awesome Summer night.
