Bloggin' a month later

I saw Aerosmith and Motley Crue at the Bell Centre last night; a kick a$$ show for sure.  Aerosmith have long been in the category of Rock Gods who could never play all that everyone wants to hear - there's not enough time in an evening.  Still, they rocked!!  Motley Crue played all the hits and more, and didn't seem to do it.  I don't think their hearts are in it... at least it didn't feel that way last night. 

I am in the age group that remembers when Motley Crue were new, with those who remember the debauchery, the chicks, sex, drugs and rock & roll attitude as an integral part of what the Crue did.  Never taking it too seriously, all part of the package.  Not that much has changed which is fine, it just seems to me that they are using the cliches as crutches.  Rock without heart is just going through the motions.  So three or four songs in, when Nikki blasts the crowd for "sitting down during a f**king Motley Crue show" whose fault is it? 

How 'bout not flashing the same, now relatively boring, images of skulls, gritty scenes and chick-on-chick action on the monitors, and showing the band in action?  Is the video feed part of the crutch?  I will admit that because I am in the aforementioned age group I can't see as well anymore and would like to see the band rockin' out.  lol!! 

Anyway,  can't change what's happened,  I hope they find their heart again.  Until then, Aerosmith gave it their all, and totally left us wanting more.  That's the sweet emotion.  =) It didn't hurt that their mid-50's abs were in fine form!!
