I don't remember the exact date, but I saw Motley Crue a few years ago.  It was "An Evening With Motley Crue", so no opener at all.  Tickets weren't selling worth a damn, so a few days before they chopped them to half off.  Come time for the show to start the place was still only about 1/2 full, which I would assume is why they waited to go on...  for well over an hour.    But no more people were showing up, and I know I'm a GNR fan and all, but I can only sit there drinking $8 beers for so long.  Eventually the show started, and after all that wait, they sounded like shit. 

The capper came when something happened while they were playing Wildside.  A buddy of mine says he thinks he saw Mick fall, but I think Tommy went to a breakdown while Mick and Nikki just kept playing.  Either way, the song fell apart They stopped playing and the lights went out.  Then without saying a word about it, they kicked into the next song, and never even mentioned that happening.

Also, Vince Niel isn't known for being a great vocalist, but he was looking for audience participation and says "Help me out with the hard part here"  and held up the mic...  This was during the humming part of Home Sweet Home. 

For me when it comes to bad shows, there's this show on one level of pure shit, and nothing else even comes close.

Doug Stanhope posted a couple different Corey Haim related things to Facebook that I got a kick out of

Doug Stanhope: Finally I'll be able to tell Corey Haim from Corey Feldman. Haim's the one that's decomposing.

Doug Stanhope: Breaking News: Corey Hart of Sunglasses at Night fame has agreed to fill in as the newest, more irrelevant Corey

Brent Fitz was the drummer in the John Corabi/Bruce Kulick band Union, and I think he was in somehing more modern recently too on top of playing with Alice Cooper.

Edit:  It was Theory of a Deadman, I don't know why I didn't just google it to begin with.

I picked this up today.  I've only had the chance for one listen, but totally agree with what I need to do now is sit in the dark with the headphones on and really absorb the mother.
