The Crue

Even Motley Crue cannot keep their word.

OK, this should not come as a big surprise, but I actually thought they were done. Four years ago, we were told that Motley Crue had played their last show. They even signed a “binding’ contract. Many fans flocked to see the shows and paid extra money for perks because this was the end. 

Wrong. They are back, and on a tour with two other bands from the past. Somebody in the band needed to get paid again. Clearly, Motley Crue has a price that is worth more than their word, and the binding contract they made with their fans.

I never saw the band live. However, if someone paid to see them play their last tour four years ago, do they have a legal right to get some of their money back? i.e. I paid for the last tour, and it was not the last tour, therefore it was false advertising. If the music industry cannot clean this up, maybe the courts can. What about KISS, who is on their final tour number ??? What about the other bands that are claiming that their tour is the last one? Do they owe something to the fans that made sacrifices of their time and their finances to see them one last time? Bands are always talking about the integrity of their music. Shouldn’t we expect them to act as such?

Every day is an interview.
