Rush retired with class. But that's because Rush has class.

In an unrelated story cocaine sales are set to increase

Guns and roses are living off there first album..

"Byapass My Heart" Lyrics: When I get high, I get high on cheese Kraft macaroni is the drug for me My heart got clogged, bypass my heart Always got the cops coming after me Krispy Kreme's got glazed donuts for free My heart got clogged, bypass my heart Ooh, are you ready girls? Ooh, are you ready now? Oh! Yeah! Bypass my heart 'cause it just stopped Oh! Yeah! Baby! Oh! Yeah! Bypass my heart 'cause it just stopped Oh! Yeah! Baby! Running out naked to a KFC Or to Burger King and Pizza Hut and off to Hardee's My heart got clogged, bypass my heart Say I got trouble, trouble in my eyes I haven't seen my wiener for a very long time My heart got clogged, bypass my heart Ooh, are you ready girls? Ooh, are you ready now? Oh! Yeah! Bypass my heart 'cause it just stopped Oh! Yeah! Baby! Oh! Yeah! Bypass my heart 'cause it just stopped Oh! Yeah! Baby! When we started this band All we needed, needed was a laugh Years gone by, I've become such a fat ass When I'm enraged or hittin' the stage Cholesterol rushing through my veins And I'd say I'm a hell of a fat ass Ooo, ahh, bypass my heart 'cause it just stopped And to think, a Big Mac still rocks...

The Who hold the record. They had their farewell tour in 1982 and yet are still going today.

The name of that album now should be "Too fat for Love"!!

I care more about digging out my Winter coat and boots than I do about a Motley Crue reunion.

Vince Neal needs to improve his health. He looks and sounds terrible. Forget the damn tour.

Well, looks like Mick Mars owes me some tickets.

I saw Motley Crue in 1983, 1985, 1987 and 1989 when they were kicking ass, i only care about the good old days when we were all young and living through the 80's which were the best days of my life.

"Put your hands together for... Fatley Crue!"

Vince Neil’s voice has been shot for 20 years.

Vince is awful. Mick can still play. But it can't be easy on his body with his spinal condition.

I rarely believe a band when they say "last tour." So many have said that only to go touring again. "Last tour" is another sales gimmick to sell more tickets.

If Motley Crue just plays songs off first 2 albums and Def Leppard just plays songs off first 3 albums and Poison doesn't show up... then maybe I would go

The "Seen Better Days" tour. That's what these things should be called.

am I the only one who when Motley Crue said that they were retiring I was like "ok when will Nixxi Sixx need enough money to pay for another doctor's appointment".

I just can't fathom the notion of large crowds of people showing up to see Motley Crue at this point. I saw Motley Crue and Def Leppard separately during the 1983-84 time frame, as each band had just released their break-out albums. In both cases, I saw them just weeks before either band had truly hit it big yet. I saw Def Leppard as the opening act for Billy Squier, supporting their Pyromania album. It was at the Spectrum in Philly, and the audience LOVED their performance so much, that they booed Billy Squier off the stage later! I saw Motley Crue at the Spectrum, supporting Shout at the Devil. They opened for Ozzy, who was supporting his Bark @ the Moon album. He had recently picked up Jake E Lee as his new guitarist. The crowd liked Motley Crue, although unlike Billy Squier, Ozzy wasn't booed off stage!

We’re with you Pete-NO. We didn’t see the Farewell Tour” and they not getting our money this time either.🎧

I'd take John Corabi too any day. He is free since Glenn Hughs is in as Dead Daisies lead singer now anyway!

How did they get past the contract that said theyd never tour again?

Those hepatitis meds aren't going to pay for themselves.

These guys were done years ago

You should do a show on how many bands play the same setlist for decades.

I might be more interested in this if Vince could still sing.

Dead Leopard was never the same after Steve Clark died. Technically they have the best guitar team ever... but there is more than technique to music. Pete Willis and Steve were amazing song writers. Phil did some good work witb Steve but things went South aftet Steve passed.

Thanks, Pete. I've only truly cared about 2 reunions.... 1984: Deep Purple 2006: Asia Lucky for me, both lineups made a lot good music reunited.

For those who look forward to Motley Crue going out on the road again, look up some live material from their socalled farewell tour four years ago. They were beyond washed up at that point. Mick was accused of miming on his guitar, Vince´s voice was gone and had been replaced by his gut, Nikki and Tommy were largely the same.

Worst offenders for this is KISS. I stayed on the KISS bandwagon for years after I should have gotten off, but of all the crass cash grabbing they did over the years, the endless "final tour"s finally hit the station where I ended my relationship with the band. I don't even enjoy listening to their music anymore.

Saw them opening for Maiden in 1984. Everybody hated them. Now it's 2020 and Maiden are stronger than ever. And still everybody hates Mötley Crüe.

Vince Neil's gut will require its own tour bus.

Part of why I like your channel, you have just as much contempt for these bands as I do, how anyone can think they're talented musicians is beyond me, and I love when you rip on em!!😂

I am saving my money for the Motley Crue 2050 tour. I heard that they will be playing electric walkers...lol

Rush retired. I sort of believe they won't play together again, but then they will all find some new treatments for arthritis or carpal tunnel or whatever they all have, and then I think they will be back for some types of tours in five years or less. But maybe not. Hard to tell with those guys.

I wouldn't even go for a free ticket and free food...coincidentally that is something Vince Neil has never said in his life.

Love your videos, Pete. Always make me chuckle.

I saw Motley Crue on the "Generation Swine" tour w/ Cheap Trick opening for them in 1997. Cheap Trick blew them off the stage. No, really don't care. Crap, but the wife might.

Here’s my take on this entire matter of 80’s groups still hanging around or re-forming to perform. The 80’s ended almost 30 years ago which is basically a generation. That decade is now considered a bygone era much as the 50’s and 60’s would have been to our parents. A lot of us are now in our middle age years and will be hitting retirement in another decade or so and I do not understand why so many people want to bring back the 80’s by having these artists tour extensively when there really is no market for them to sustain a long touring schedule. It seems to me a lot of this is just pure nostalgia and reminiscing about what things used to be like and will never be again. Just my 2 cents Pete!

I do like Motley Crüe, Def Leppard, and Poison. I saw Motley 3 times, Def Leppard 7 times, and Poison 3 times, BUT I don't even give two shits about this tour. I don't need to see any of them live again, don't need any new music either. If I want to hear them, I'll just listen to their albums which are still Grade Fuckin A to me. I'm sick of giving away my money. Lol

If I go to that concert I’m only going for Def Leppard

I dare a sober Motley fan watch them in concert and tell me they sound good.

Here's a question: What if Crue never wrote 'Home Sweet Home'? What would've happened to that album? Would 'Smokin' In The Boys Room' have been enough of a hit to generate the mega sales that followed? I don't think so. Without that song, no stadium tour in 2020, in my opinion. Kudos to the band, but BOY are they lucky they got that one killer power ballad in their back pocket.

The Reunion tour will be my first concert ever, and I’m really excited to see Def Leppard. Not really big a Mötley Crüe and Poison fan, but Def Leppard is my favorite band. Joe Elliot’s voice isn’t what it used to be, but that comes with age, and the band does deliver some pretty solid performances. Pretty excited to go, but I can understand why you aren’t.

The hair is lookin' good Pete.

Not looking forward to the "Too Fat For Live" tour.

what's the deal with all the guitars in the background? Just for show or do you play? JA...

“when I get high, get high on these, KFC, Wendy’s, and Micky D’s... My heart, oh wait I’m having a heart attack!” “I’m on my way, I’m on my way, ice cream cone!” “Friday night and I need a bite…”

If you were a kid when Shout at the Devil came out, there was nothing better to scare your parents. That album rocks no matter what people say, will stand the test of time. The rest after that had hits and miss of course. Vince has never been a good live act, but its about being there and seeing them, much like KISS

I Really Enjoyed This Video! Keep Up The Awesome Content👏👏

Thx for your videos man.Feel like having a virtual buddy that can speak music like we did in the heydays, is it a 10 000 cds collection behind you? take care

I love your channel Pete. Very insightful my friend

All three bands are on my puke bucket list.

I heard that Motley Crue will be updating their tune "Girls Girls Girls" as "Cougars Cougars Cougars" lol

Pete did you like the 1994 Album

Going to see Frank Marino in 2020, hell yes! The concert event of 2020 in my opinion.

Poor Mick. I can't imagine that he really wants to do this.

Kind of a stupid question if you don't even like them in the first place.

Sea of Tranquility- i encourage many people to answer this question, but just out of curiosity how many shows in one year would a musical act have to play for it to be considered a tour in your mind? 5 shows, 10, 25? i ask because Motley said they would never tour again however playing some shows wouldnt be a tour. i know this new tour is expected to be huge, but i'm just curious what rock fans consider a tour.

Motley Who? what do you think Pete, next year here in the UK we have Whitesnake, Foreigner and Europe together on tour, sounds a bit more palatable don't you think?

saw this online recently- how much each band will get on the upcoming tour-motley crue-2 million,def leppard-1 million,poison 250,000. dont know if this is true or not,but this seems to be the real reason.

Im saving for the 2050 Stones World Wide tour

I am so excited for the tour I need to see them

Motley Crue, Poison & Def Leppard? My, my, that's an awful lot of cheese. Concert attendees won't be able to crap for a week.

Joan Jett will be the highlight of the tour.

Hey Pete,how about Kiss,they only retired a dozen times

they were never that good to begin with, vince couldnt sing even back then

I really hope they still do the tour with the way vince sounds recently. Give the fans some great shows and there moneys worth.

No Pete, no we don't care

I don't, but it doesn't surprise me. For the fans: nostalgia is a powerful force. For the bands: money aside, once you've stood on a stage and felt the adulation of thousands, I'm sure it's really hard to give that up for good.

LMAO when you pulled out the credit card and quoted the prices.,, too funny 😁

I never had the chance to see them I may see them now.

That is the funniest thing I have heard. Bless you, Pete.

Reformed because the awful Crue movie was popular.

Hey Pete , totally agree with everything you say here . The sheep will go and think it’s awesome with a band well passed its use by date .

I agree. I saw the Crue on the Dr. Feelgood tour. That was classic enough for me not to ruin it with anything they put out since. I was 13 and was content as far as the Crue goes. At 15 I found the Black Crowes and never looked back.

Muttley Crue are indeed a comedy. Not judging their songs, but the attitude

No. Saw them twice. Once opening for Ozzy in about 83. Pretty good. Saw them with Loudness opening around 89. Okay show. I got a free ticket for that show. Poison also sucks.

I agree with you, but rock n roll may need this. Rock has never died, but it does take naps from time to time. Who knows what this reunion may inspire in others.

Made the unfortunate mistake of saying “who gives a shit” on Loudwire’s Facebook page. I even went so far as to assert that new releases by Opeth, Candlemass, and Borknagar were the future of Metal. You’d have thought I dipped my boys in the slaw at the company picnic. I got crucified by Nikki Sixx fans who told me in no uncertain terms that Opeth blows. Glad you did this rant, Pete. I got the business end of a hair metal hissy fit. Cheers.

Preach it Pete! I seen Motley Crue (91 and 2014) twice and Def Leppard (2016) once. Crue was pretty good in 1991 - fun show but it was very predictable. Crue's 2014 show pretty much proved to me Crue was done. Sixx and Lee still were first rate players but Vince and Mick were not good. I thought it was good time for them to end it. I actually think Sixx AM is better band than 2000 Crue. I think DL was always a better band overall. Good classic album war though would be Shout at the Devil vs Pyromania - maybe be worth doing or not :)

the reality of these bands keep retiring then getting back together is the fact that (as you touched upon) they just don't seem to know what else to do with their lives. coupled with the fact that its a massive ego boost for them again to be getting when most of us 50+ guys see a life of putting our feet up. these guys just cant seem to do it !. plus, like you also say. they live a lifestyle that they try to keep on the wild side of, that needs paying for. suppose its the hollywood high life is hard to let go of. i personally dont have a problem if people are still prepared to pay money to go to see them and they can attract stadium interests. hey, old 60's bands still do tours nd look and sound bad and people still go out to see them if they can with their walking sticks and zimmer frames !! .but its all they know what to do so think its gonna still carry on into the late 2000's that 80's and 90;s bands will be following suit . but its the prices i have a gripe with. they are old bands playing the same music and struggling really in places to reach the right notes !. but they still charge extortionate prices to go to these gigs to see these bands. so it seems like the worse they get. the more they think they can exploit from people. im a big journey fan and they are also in the same type of situation where they just do tours and churn out the same greatest hits packages and its really a big con rip off for the fans really but they too also manage to get away with it by filling up venues so i guess theres their answers as to why they keep doing it. and it aint gonna stop cus like i say, its all they know to do really !

I like this guys honesty. Brutal & blunt

Great lists guy...here is mine. 1. Simple Man 2. That Smell 3. Gimme Three Steps 4. What's Your Name? 5. Free Bird 6. Don't Ask Me No Questions 7. I Ain't The One 8. Needle and the Spoon 9. Saturday Night Special 10. Was I Right or Wrong?

The sad fact is that when bands say they’re doing their final tour, by the time they reform 18 months later most people have forgotten about the last one. We are acquiring the attention spans of gnats and that’s good for ‘80s has-beens like Muttley Crude.

Right on scale with you, Pete. Basically everything you said about this upcoming tour of these three bands is right on the money. The millennials and some others who grew up with these bands , who are going to these concerts believe that it is money well spent but these guys are past their primes. Sad but true! I vote NO!!!

Pete what do you think about the doobies and the 50th anniversary tour including Michael McDonald? There's also a rumor that Sammy Hagar is going to be touring with Whitesnake and or Night Ranger. Sammy has announced a 40 City Tour next year. I don't know how Whitesnake would be back up for Sammy Hagar but that's what I'm being told. So we'll just have to wait and see but wondering what you might think about all this.

I loved the Crue and have been to countless shows. I bought a ticket to the final tour believing that was it. I'm done and not supporting this tour.

Hey Pete how about for your next video 'Top 20 bands that made it big that you don't like' ? Motley would have to be in your top 5?

Why did Def Leppard insult themselves by even attempting to tour with them

I only saw them once back in the late 80s and kinda wouldn't mind seeing them again but I wouldn't get to excited about it.

Didn't they just do a final tour last year and say they're not going to do anything else anymore

I’m actually looking forward to the upcoming tour.

Oh lord not another band. Hey if people are dumb enough to pay for tickets then that’s on them. I certainly don’t care and haven’t since I was in high school and had a mullet Yawn

I agree what you said and you were being very kind to tell you the truth! lmfao

Dude this is our Chicago/Earth wind and Fire next generation tour...never to end......

They should do an extended version of "The Sound of Silence".

Vince Neil: Nikki I ran out of lipstick, can I borrow some of yours?

I can’t believe that Def Lep agreed to do this tour! Joe Elliott still has the chops and just completed a great tour- now they are going to OPEN for washed up Vince Neil! Show some class Def Lep!

Wow. I. Typed this. Before. Pete’s rant.

I was more excited to hear Poison was gonna do something big for 2020. But touring with these bands Poison will be on the back burner. I am a bigger fan of Poison then the others.
