In this Episode of Crue Cast, a podcast is all about the most infamous band in rock history Motley Crue! Jason talks the click bate press making an issue out of Vince Neil using a teleprompter.
Mötley Crüe’s Nikki Sixx took his official Twitter account to support his bandmate, Vince Neil, who has drawn attention for using a teleprompter on the stage in a recent show.
The Stadium Tour, featuring Mötley Crüe, Def Leppard, Joan Jett, and Poison, has been finally taking place after several delays due to the coronavirus pandemic. The bands have been on the road since its kick-off in Cumberland, Georgia, on June 16, 2022.
Following Mötley Crüe’s show at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, Missouri, on July 5, as part of the tour, a concertgoer uploaded some video clips of the gig on YouTube, showing Vince Neil using a teleprompter to remember the lyrics of the songs. While some fans criticized the singer for not recalling the classic songs, Neil mostly received support from other rockers who didn’t make it a big deal. They indeed criticized the media for presenting it as important news.
Nikki Sixx’s Twitter post read: “Usual bottom feeder press outlets are trying to make up crap to sell their advertising. Forty-one years of songs, and Vinnie is working on his vocals and delivery of the lyrics. I praise him for working extra hard on this tour. Journalists are usually just scabs making up clickbait.”
Dee Snider has offered his opinion on Mötley Crüe frontman Vince Neil using a teleprompter at the band’s live shows, saying he doesn’t use one in Twisted Sister as: “I didn’t kill a lot of my brain cells with drink and drugs”.
Snider was tweeting in response to Headbangers Ball host Riki Rachtman, who was addressing the ridicule Neil has received since footage of him using a teleprompter on the band’s ongoing tour in the US for The Stadium Tour was uploaded on social media. Rachtman wrote, “So Motley Crue used a teleprompter. Really who fuckin cares. Did you have fun at the show? That’s what matters.” Rachtman continued, “A lot of bands have used teleprompters – STOP looking for reasons to criticize. Recorded vocals an artist not caring is bad, but teleprompters? Who cares?”. The Twisted Sister frontman offered his opinion, tweeting, “True that! MOST bands are using teleprompters. Not me, but I didn’t kill a lot of my brain cells with drink and drugs (not a criticism. More of an explanation). STOP being so damn critical and just enjoy seeing the people you love on stage! Now lip-synching is another story!”
Mötley Crüe will remain on tour until September, with session drummer Tommy Clufetos helping out along the way due to Tommy Lee having acquired four broken ribs in an injury before the tour.
