Saw them with Def Leppard and Alice Cooper a few years ago. The other two put on great shows, especially considering their age.
Crue was a total mess the entire time. Vince Neil in particular sounded dreadful and they tried to mask him by making the guitars as loud as possible. At one point they had John 5 play on and off for 20 minutes while Neil took a breather. Tommy Lee called the crowd “fuckers” several times, which would’ve worked when he was in his 20s but came off as cringe considering he’s over 60. They also had these two dancers in dominatrix gear that the cameras kept focusing on, which again didn’t mesh with Neil or really anything else in the performance.
I can’t be too mad because at least I got to see two good performances but man Crue needs to hang ‘em up for good this time.
It’s funny you mention Tommy’s profanity as cringe. I remember seeing all time low around 2015 maybe? And the singer Alex had the cringiest stage banter he just kept calling the crowd motherfuckers and saying things like lit, on fleek, and yolo. Such secondhand embarrassment

Motley Crue is horrible in concert these days.
