Crüe Fest was a summer 2008 tour by Mötley Crüe, which commenced on July 1, 2008 and concluded on August 31, 2008. It featured Mötley Crüe themselves, Papa Roach, Buckcherry, Trapt, and Sixx:AM. During the press conference announcing the tour, Nikki Sixx said that there were currently no definitive plans to tour Europe, however, it is likely that there will be some form of tour at a later date.[1] Crüe Fest is said to be “The Loudest Show on Earth”. The tour earned around million and was the most successful and most popular festival of the summer. The tour was first formulated in January 2008 by Nikki Sixx. Shortly afterwards, the idea was established to do a tour with both bands Sixx is currently a member of (Mötley Crüe and Sixx:AM). The idea of Crüe Fest was then created, with Mötley Crüe’s intention of bringing a new touring festival of ‘bands that embody the spirit of rock and roll’[1] in the same vein as Ozzfest. The new official Mötley Crüe website ([1]) had promised a special announcement on April 15, 2008. Mötley Crüe hosted a press conference, where the intentions of the Crüe Fest tour were announced and the band premiered their “Saints of Los Angeles” video, as well as performing “Kickstart My Heart” and “Saints of Los Angeles”.

Vince sounds like shit! Slurring his words all over the place. Fucking great showman though.

Mick has to be one of the most under rated musicians of all time. His live stuff hits all the notes that were laid down in the studio. No flash. Nothing wasted. Just a professional through and through.

Vince to call it quits. He can’t sing, and he’s fat & tired.

the crue’s backup vocals live are identical to the studio version’s! kick ass. motley crue is my religion, and nikki and tommy are my priests!

@14ax2 To be fair, Nikki wrote 90% of those riffs, but he’s still underrated.

Is it just me or is he like mumbling the words the whole time because he has forgotten how his own song go’s??? This just ruined the entire Crüe fest!!!

people,if there is anybody among you,who knows Vince personally,could you,please,ask him to listen this recordings of the live gigs,and the way he sings.and if he says,that its ok,and nothin should be changed on it,i rest my case.his vocal is just horrible live,and in studio is easy with pro tools
