CruSin

My brother and I went to check out the Poison and Motley Crue concert at the Hollywood Bowl last night.  I had seen Poison twice before back in 2008 and really enjoy them as a live band.  They're a high energy band and a lot of fun to watch, and they're still the same 3 years later.  I wouldn't expect or want them to be anything else.  They had a rather short set list, partly because they were opening up and I also think the Hollywood Bowl has a curfew.

Motley Crue was a band my brother and I have wanted to see since probably high school.  I'm glad we got a chance to see them, although I don't know that I was blown away by their performance.  They had two female dancers that would saunter around stage and sing backup on some of the songs.  Vince Neil also glossed over a lot of the lyrics and just kind of slurred his way through the melody.  Musically, the band was great but Vince seemed a little off the mark.

There was a surprise when Vince started singing Cee Lo-Green's "Fuck You" in the middle of "Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)" and then Cee-Lo came out to join him onstage for that, and for the rest of the song.  Overall a very fun night with my bro.  I'm glad I got to see Motley and hopefully Poison keeps touring for many more years to come.
