Speaker 9: To uh to do this?
Speaker 19: So let's see who wants to start.
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously you're all big Motley Crue fans.
Speaker 20: Absolutely, I decided to do it because they were already established, they needed a singer, and I grew up on I grew up on Crewe.
Speaker 15: I love I love Motley Crue.
Speaker 20: Yeah, it's definitely represents just the raw energy and passion of just good old rock and roll.
Speaker 15: So yeah, yeah, I am here.
Speaker 14: Absolutely, I definitely agree with that.
Speaker 21: It's just it's an explosive kind of music to play. It's it's tons of fun and always goes over.
Speaker 14: Well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you even kind of talk like Eric Carr, you got to freaking tribute and it's freaking me out.
Speaker 14: Maybe you're going to join a Kiss tribute?
Speaker 3: Exactly, exactly.
Speaker 16: Yeah, basically, you know it got it got started out of out of I won't say a joke, but we we were in a different band. We kind of we we decided on a Halloween to to actually dress up as Motley Crue and do do kind of a one set of their music. We realized we had so much fun playing it and loved the music so much that it kind of it evolved into this. You know, it's kind of how it happened twenty nineteen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yep, Oh, very cool. So that's when it's so so you got you guys been at this a while?
Speaker 5: Yep.
Speaker 3: Has it been the same line up the entire time?
Speaker 19: No, We've had some changes. Yeah, we have had some changes over the years.
Speaker 16: For you know, we we needed people who were completely dedicated to it to pull it off live, because we do do you do.
Speaker 14: You do, do you know, we do.
Speaker 16: We do a full tribute, so we're we're getting you know, we we have the full shout, the Double era costumes we use, so we you know, we needed people who were dedicated to out look, who are gonna you know, gonna shave when needed, who were gonna you know, perform the part and and and act the part.
Speaker 3: Well, now, Vince Neil.
Speaker 20: Has had a beard at some point, right, yeah, well we're not on tour right now. This is this is my hangout. This is my hangout at the at the beach. Don't have to worry about it. But obviously theatrical makeup doesn't work on a beard, so right to go back to the theatrical makeup. Ye, So yeah, yeah, we uh, we were anti anti shaving for the for the promo, but when we do the gigs, it's.
Speaker 15: It's you know, as you can see from the shirt. Yeah, it's all. It's all showed at the Devil.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you guys brought us surets. Thank you so much. Yes, you got it and some picks too. You got picks?
Speaker 17: Did you guys charge them?
Speaker 21: No?
Speaker 3: Of course not, what the hell you can invoice us.
Speaker 3: We're not doing this for free.
Speaker 18: I thought the picks were led or something.
Speaker 8: I'm like, charge them.
Speaker 3: That's a good idea.
Speaker 15: Also wrong tribute Gene Simmons over here, right.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I just came up with a million dollar there you go. Now, what what's kind of the range in terms of the songs that that you play, Like, do you cover like? I assume you don't do anything from the Krabbier era, right, because certainly Vince Neil would not do that. But well, we're not opposed to it.
Speaker 16: We've talked about it, We've done I think what the most recent stuff is What Afraid? Maybe yeah, oh yeah, we do that one. But we kind of we kind of I mean, the people want the earlier stuff. Yeah, so we because we're at that shot at the double era costume, we definitely start out with a lot more songs from those two the first two albums, okay, and then we kind of we mix in the other stuff to hit so obviously and yeah, and then we'll do whatever people want.
Speaker 9: The goal the goal in the.
Speaker 16: Future we will, Yeah, the people will do. What we want is to expand you know, expand into the other era costumes as well. Yeah, so we're starting out with this we think this is the strongest era for them, This is what made the mark for them. So that's where it's at, you know, so we'll start there.
Speaker 3: That makes sense. That makes sense. How many how many songs as a band? Do you know? How many Motley Cruz songs?
Speaker 19: Do you everyone want to take a stab good exander.
Speaker 17: I'd say like thirty, probably.
Speaker 3: Quite a bit.
Speaker 17: I mean we know all the hits. Yeah, everything that had a video for the most part, except for You're All I.
Speaker 16: Need Okay, we you know we I forgot about that song. Yeah, I literally forgot about you. Yeah, it's such a huge that song, such a huge production.
Speaker 17: As far as anything that had a video, we pretty much have, you know, for the most part. Down there's a few that you know, it's like we we played it and then we're like, I did it go over and then it's like, you know, we're going to keep working on it.
Speaker 3: So yeah, you know, that makes sense.
Speaker 21: We've got a lot of deep cuts on the on the set as well, which a lot of people in the crowd appreciate, especially true crew crew fans.
Speaker 14: They love that stuff, like like what we just actually added danger to the list.
Speaker 15: A round up show to the Devil yeah, we were playing all the show the Devil.
Speaker 14: All right, Yeah, it might as well just finish it off.
Speaker 16: Now we can do the We can do the whole album in the show if we wanted to know.
Speaker 3: Oh that's cool. Yeah, yeah, very cool.
Speaker 15: We can. Ok.
Speaker 3: Yeah with the current draft, do you do like, do you have any special effects that you used during the show. Is there any kind of uh, other than you know, lights.
Speaker 17: His pants on.
Speaker 14: Yeah, I haven't played naked yet.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean we do.
Speaker 5: We bring the whole thing in.
Speaker 16: We've got the smoke, we've got the lights, we've got the we we use video so we like to you know, obviously you know we're we're we're impersonating them, but we like to bring the videos into the performance so that people kind of get transported. They're like, oh, you know there, I remember this now, and we we provide that soundtrack while they're kind of watching the movie, you know. So it's kind of a you know, I think I think it creates a cool aura.
Speaker 20: Yeah, it's a it's an event. We've got our show to the Devil. Red light boxes we stand on as we start in the beginning to start the show. We you know, we have you know, the modern led lights and those are sometimes in sync with the music, so we get you know, strobing and effect.
Speaker 15: From from the from those lights.
Speaker 17: Uh.
Speaker 20: Plus you know all our banners, as he said, we either use TVs or projectors to show the you.
Speaker 15: Know, the time period and the influence.
Speaker 20: So it's kind of you're watching us do it as a tribute and you're remembering, you know, if you haven't seen you know, the videos, and certainly MTV doesn't play videos anymore.
Speaker 15: Right, if you haven't been on YouTube recently, it brings brings.
Speaker 20: You back, especially if you were you know, you were there during the eighties a day right, yeah, time man, Yes, it's pretty cool the spectacle.
Speaker 3: Are there any Are there any Molly Cruz songs that were challenging to learn as a band? I mean, I would tend to doubt it, but you never know. So I'm curious, what are there any songs that you've learned that had anything about them that was kind of unusual, that was trickier than maybe some.
Speaker 17: Of the others or Mick Mars is very unorthodox.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 17: Yeah, Like you listen to it and you go, oh, it sounds fairly simple. But he because of his influence as his playing is to me, I would say, not in a negative way, but backwards from what the average guitarist would would play. So a lot of times I'm like, how this is weird, you know, So I'm playing something as close as possible because it's just my brain won't let me play this weird this weird run that he does exactly the way he does it. So I'm like, I got to do this as close as possible. But when you're digging through it and nitpicking everything like that, it's he has a very unique style that you know, I've always appreciated his his writing and his playing, but when we started doing one, well, when I joined and started really nitpicking, it was like, Wow, that's weird.
Speaker 17: That's weird that he plays it that way.
Speaker 3: Is he not one of kind of the unsung heroes? Absolutely? I mean one of the most underrated.
Speaker 17: Yeah, especially for how big the band is as a whole. You know, he's you know, he not like a Steve I or Eddie van Halen or you know, Rest and Beast.
Speaker 16: You know, yeah, yeah, he's just he's a nasty player. It's like, yeah, he's got that high overdrive sound. I mean, that's that's critical to the band, you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, like you look at a song like Home Sweet Home. So personally, even when I was a kid, I never really liked that song very much.
Speaker 15: Get Out.
Speaker 3: Shows over except for the solo. The solo is magnificent. The rest of it, I never I never liked the way Vince Neil. I like the way you sing it, Chris, but you're a better but you are, I mean, you're a better singer than Vince Neil ever was.
Speaker 15: Yeah, in his heyday, I mean it was it was a character. It's a character voice.
Speaker 20: Yeah, it's a very specific sound that he had, and you know the look and the high energy.
Speaker 15: You know, he had his he had his moment in the sun. Obviously they're still they're still playing. But you know your question.
Speaker 20: Some of the things are some of those songs, if you don't sing it in character, like Shouted the Devil Doctor feel Good, there's no place to breathe. I'm assuming if Nicky wrote those lyrics, he did not write him from the point of view of a singer. It's just rambling on and there's just nowhere to stop. So it's difficult. You can, you know, see it in some of the crew performances. Vince doesn't try for that stuff, and oh I know yeah, like.
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, he kind of just talks his way through the through the songs.
Speaker 20: Now, yeah, I sing I sing it, you know, I want to sing it adapt you know, to that high vocal and the range, like you sound like him, But I want to I want to belt it out.
Speaker 3: But from a technical standpoint, you're nailing it, whereas he no longer. Yeah, like I would, I would argue you're singing it better than he even sang it.
Speaker 15: Yeah, thank you, but you're but you sound like him.
Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
Speaker 17: Yeah, suddenly we all can't fit in the room.
Speaker 15: Yes, well that fits with the that fits with Vince.
Speaker 3: Right, Yes, you're thinner than he is as well.
Speaker 14: Yes heard these days we can't call you Vince Neil.
Speaker 12: But.
Speaker 22: That is already taken by.
Speaker 19: Yeah, that's the challenge too. So see we have that as a built in excuse.
Speaker 16: So if we do, if you know, if Chris does hit a wrong note, we can just say, well, he's trying to be authentic, right exactly?
Speaker 3: Do you want to play another one?
Speaker 15: Sure, I just need to grab.
Speaker 3: Yes, we brought we brought her Jack, but.
Speaker 17: Right yeah, I didn't sign on for that.
Speaker 3: Yeah you can have that on. Yeah you have it on the tour bus, you know, not while driving exactly exactly What do you guys if you are just joining us, not Lee Cruz here with us in studio? What are you guys going to play now?
Speaker 15: I was thinking starry eyes.

Speaker 20: But yeah, it's kind of a deep track. But yeah, yeah, it was fun to play front But that's that's fun. Yeah, we're just trying to think of something that you could deliver in here on acoustic yeah. Yeah, it's a great, great, a ton of stuff that we don't have, the the electrification.

Speaker 14: Yeah.
Speaker 21: Yeah, Tommy can be very explosive. So I try to in his pants. Oh my, I try to imitate the way he plays. He's just he's incredible.
Speaker 3: Is it hard to play like him? Because he is? I mean, you know he's another guy who kind of doesn't get his dude just because he's in Motley Crue. But he is technically, I mean, he's an incredible drummer. Yeah, yeah, he can.
Speaker 21: He he could be pretty technical in a lot of songs. There's I wouldn't narrow it down to a particular song, but there's a lot of accents that he does, symbol chokes, certain fills. You really, when you're learning them, you gotta feel them rather than just going into it because they're just they're so particular.
Speaker 14: Yeah, in a lot of tunes.
Speaker 17: And the other great thing about our drummers he can't play to a click either.
Speaker 14: Oh really, that's not.
Speaker 3: Lee Crue is here with us live in studio. And so you guys were recently featured in Paper Jam Paper Jam magazine. Are wonderful friends and yes, yes, how did that come about? Did they find you? Did you find them?

Speaker 19: So we said why not.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, oh that's very cool. Yeah, they're amazing, you know, they're they're doing great things in the scene. And now so speaking of the scene, like where where do you all play?
Speaker 14: Where?
Speaker 3: Where does uh? Where does not Lee Cruz perform? Like are there certain places that you go back to on a regular basis?
Speaker 17: That's a little personal ye.
Speaker 3: Together, all of you together on that's even more personal.
Speaker 19: Yes, So there's not.
Speaker 16: I mean, there's there's a couple of places we've done repeat stuff at. Where more we're looking for the kind of the bigger venue to play in the production is so huge, it's tough for people to get the actual you know, you you scale it down, it's not the same yea, So we can do it and the music will still hold up, but it's but it's like we like people to have that whole experience. So we're looking to do like the theater circuit things like that. So we kind of try to reserve it for bigger.
Speaker 3: Places, okay, okay, and not as much.
Speaker 16: We don't want to oversaturate. We know there's a lot of bands that go out there and to be gigging every weekend, but we don't want, you know, we don't want to do that. It's such a you know, we want to want to keep it real and keep it, keep it new every.
Speaker 15: Time, you know, right, right.
Speaker 3: I'm always curious about this too. So with tribute bands, is there anything like like legally like does anybody from Monty Crew?
Speaker 17: Well, now you're you're opening up a can of worms. You're you're you're putting the word out talking about we don't own the rights to anything, right right?
Speaker 3: But you so, but you don't hear from anybody right like nobody?
Speaker 16: No, I think it's I think so I'll tell you if Facebook is strange, So the best thing to do in like the social media world, if you label yourself strange, if you labor yourself as satire, as a parody, then you kind of you're you're protected. So I have another friend who's in another Martley Creature bit band who had a similar thing happened.
Speaker 19: But we both had our pages taken down in the beginning.
Speaker 16: Yeah, and and that was because in the beginning, it was because we're not labeled as satire. Okay, okay, So now we are and we haven't had that problem. So we've built a good following where I think we're closing it on five thousand people.
Speaker 3: Excellent, right now, that's really good.
Speaker 17: And a thousand of them are actual people and the other four thousand.
Speaker 14: That's not.
Speaker 5: Liar.
Speaker 3: Now that's great though. No, you guys are doing great. By the way, paper Jam is in the chat room and says, hi, not Lee Crue, great band, great, we love you guys. Sorry for coffee. I had a I was sick like back in December, and uh, this cough just lasts for weeks and weeks and weeks. So I'm not sick. I just I was sick.
Speaker 17: But the dry weather doesn't help.
Speaker 3: No, well that's the thing, Yeah exactly, that's what it is. I have this dry cough and every week it's a little bit better.
Speaker 9: He has this magic thing called a humidifier.
Speaker 12: He just doesn't actually turn it on.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: You have to put governed mail, you have to put water into it and then turn it on. It's it's a lot. It's a lot cleaning.
Speaker 17: Every once in a while it gets molding.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, exactly. Well the one we have is new, newish, right, but brand new. Buy a new one every year and throw it out at the end of the season.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not kidding. I won't I won't keep them. Yeah, I worked in a nice U s see you. Nope.
Speaker 9: Oh, yeah, bye.
Speaker 3: Do you guys, do you have anything coming up? Do do you have some shows uh booked for twenty twenty five?
Speaker 19: Yeah, we've got to.
Speaker 16: We've got a couple of things we're working on, which we're branching out to some other states too. We're looking at New York right now, a couple of things like that putting together. And we want to put together, like I said, some theater shows with two or three band type shows, you know, bigger houses.
Speaker 19: Yeah, bigger productions.
Speaker 12: We do.
Speaker 19: We do have one right now in the calendar for June. Let's see.
Speaker 16: That's it in Worcester at Ralph's. And we also haven't we have something else coming up on potentially uh at the end of June. Okay, And that's that's the New York show. We're working on something trying to work with the Rochester Opera House, so I'm in communication with them right now.

Speaker 14: Or yeah?
Speaker 3: Pretty definitely absolutely.
Speaker 16: We We have our costume designer, Brittany over here in the room. If it weren't from her or for her, we wouldn't make it. So we her and the other girls help us out a lot. Brittany actually designed and made all the costumes pretty much for us.
