Typical 80s industry critic admits Crue/Poison

T

 

I spent the majority of the ’80s avoiding as much hair metal as possible. The amount of hair metal bands I have seen in my lifetime could most likely be counted on one hand. Nike Air Presto enfants new balance femme pas cher I liked some of it, but had no desire to pay much attention to this genre. final fantasy 14 gold I was a new wave/alternative/punk kid for the most part, hadn’t any time for their tomfoolery. New Balance 530 homme It was all about partying, women, fun, and never anything serious. New Balance 533 homme And at 16 I think I was a bit too serious about music. timberland pas cher Over the years, I have come to respect the genre for what it offered, but not really enough to try to go back into any of the band’s catalogs and really get into it. asics gel kinsei 4 homme Canada Goose Resolute Parka The thousands of screaming enthusiastic fans at Gexa Energy Pavilion last night clued me into what I had missed.

Kicking off their summer tour in Dallas last night, two of the genre’s powerhouses, Motley Crue and Poison joined forces for one helluva night, packed with hits, and ONLY hits from both of their catalogs. Every song a single, every song a hit, every song you knew, if even vaguely.

With several explosions out of the blue, Motley Crue was already well into their opening song, “Wildside.” One second, the crowd was just sitting there, the next we were on a juggernaut of a set that made me wish I had seen these guys when we were all younger. Nike Free 5.0 Homme The vigor with which Motley Crue plowed through their set made me imagine a band 25 years their junior, and what it must have been like when they were a vital driving force in the mid-’80s metal scene. Their set was a spectacle to behold, complete with drummer Tommy Lee’s Rollercoaster setup, and the energy in the pavilion should have been harnessed for its namesake (Gexa). adidas hamburg homme Even the title track from their last studio album, Saints of Los Angeles, brought forth a reaction to bring the house down. Parajumpers Windbreaker Truman They were utterly fantastic and riveted their fans from beginning to end.

Poison brought their workmanlike everyman brand of rock as well, with a set of hits that had the masses standing, singing, and partying like it was 1988 again. Adidas Zx 500 Homme Far from the Poison we saw in their overindulgent ’80s videos, this is a competent, cohesive unit pounding out crowd pleasing hits and having fun with their audience, not for them.

Show openers, who were actually the band I was most interested in seeing, 1970s glam punk pioneers New York Dolls, wound up being a better idea in theory and on paper than in actual practice. Nike Free Rn Flyknit homme Nike Free Rn Flyknit Homme Opening with one of their signature songs, “Personality Crisis,” the crowd seemed very disinterested during their more-than-enjoyable set. Nike Sb femme It took me back to seeing the Beastie Boys at Fair Park Coliseum with Jon Spencer Blues Explosion for an opener. Whereas it was a perfect fit for the bill, unfortunately it just didn’t capture the audience as one would have hoped. At least not in Dallas
