I'm on a train I can't complain
Heyyy guys out there!
Finally I made it through my exams (yay!) and visited my friends and family at home. Now I'm sitting on a train going back to the city, where I'm studying. There I have to write some nice assignments and wait for results. Crazy, I know.
Welcome to web 2.0 where people tell you in their online diaries ( so called „blogs“) what they're actually doing.
But I don't want to bother you with any details about my life...
Talking of blogs and people explaining what they're doing: A friend of mine has a friend who has a friend and his friend pla pla pla... just kidding. Okay again: My best friend is drummer and his friend starts his first band. My best friend... let's call him C. supports his friend as drummer. The funny fact (mind the alliteration!) is, that C's friend bet with another friend, that he could start a band, write his own songs and that he gets organized a gig with a full set in only a year. I guess, that C's friend has no musical experiences... okay makes me laugh at this time. But! I really really think, that they can make it. In his blog the guy asked for a band name and made a game out of it. Of course I made a suggestion and now my suggestion is in the finale! :D I'm pretty sure, that I win hahah..no, not really but I'm kinda curious. The name, which I suggested comes from a funny tattoo story of Ronny Radke (former singer of Escape The Fate and now leader of the rockband Falling In Reverse)
Best thing is, that I'll get a price, when I win this rating. And I hope so! There is this one thing on my to-do-list: „Win a game!“ :) Please, keep fingers crossed for me so I can claim, that once in my life I won a fucking win game! :D
Okay... you made it to these lines here. Congratulations!
The following lines of this text deal with MÖTLEY CRÜE and NIKKI SIXX.
Sixx is a very inspiring person for me. He once wrote in his diary: „Your ego is not your amigo!“ And he's absolutely right! Sixx is the bassist of Mötley Crüe. Together with drummer TOMMY LEE he founded the band back in the early 80's and in only four years they made it to rich and famous rockstars touring nearly all stages in the world. Mötley Crüe consists of four members: Nikki Sixx (bass), Tommy Lee (drums), Vince Neil (vocals) and Mick Mars (guitar).
Maybe you don't know Mötley Crüe but I'm pretty sure that you've heard of the relationship between Tommy Lee and PAMELA ANDERSON years ago. Isn't it sad, that most people today only know Tommy Lee for his relationship with that woman? I mean he's an awesome drummer. He had some crazy ideas in the past for some live gigs. You just need to have a look for Tommy Lee on youtube and I promise, you won't be disappointed.. well depends to what you find there ;D
Okay back to the crew:
One of their biggest problems were drugs. In his book „Heroine Diaries“ Nikki talks about his past and all that stupid things, that Nikki, Tommy, Vince and Mick have done in their darkest times. I should mention that Mick Mars was supposed to be the gentleman in this crazy band. Whatever... their addiction led to some sad tragedies like the death of drummer Nicholas Dingley (HANOI ROCKS) or the fact, that Sixx nearly died after an overdose in 1984.
Songs that I can only advice you to listen:
„Saints Of Los Angeles“ with Jacoby Shaddix (Papa Roach, vocals), Josh Todd (Buckcherry, vocals) and James Michael (Sixx A.M., vocals)
„Shout At The Devil“
„Hooligan's Holiday“ sung by John Corabi instead of Vince Neil
You probably have noticed that I wrote JOHN CORABI instead of Vince Neil.The reason is, that Vince left the band and tried to make his own thing without the crew. Neither the crew nor he had any success in that time. Same story with Tommy Lee. Both came back to Mötley Crüe and now they're still rocking around the world these times. Isn't it crazy? The crew needs all members: Vince Neil - the blond eccentric frontman with his high heavy metal voice, Mick Mars – the stunning guitar player suffering Bechterev, Nikki Sixx – the craziest man in the crew writing deep lyrics and last but not least: Tommy Lee – the funny drummer kid. This year they were in Germany and were supported by Slash (yeah! Slash.. he's a close friend of Nikki and you should know, that Mötley Crüe helped Guns n Roses to become such a succesfull band! ;D) and even by Black Veil Brides.
Next year will be the premiere of the biographic MOVIE „The Dirt“, which bases on the biography with the same title written by Neil Strauss. I'm really curious and have high expectations, what could be dangerous. Well.. I will see.
Furthermore they have already released a new single and for that reason I expect a new album coming out soon, although I did not notice anywhere, that there is a new album in sight. Maybe Mötley publishes it next year, when the crew's movie is going to enter the cinemas.
Okay, I'm done. That's all! ;D
