Motley Crue will hit the tour route this January with Theory of a Deadman, Hinder, and the Last Vegas. The tour should probably be deemed Theatre of Pain Part Deux. What have you done Motley Crue?

The Last Vegas aside, the Crue are hanging around with killers of Rock n Roll. Hinder is so fucking generic and try way to hard to be like Motley Crue it is nauseating. In fact, their latest album made one of our staff writers vomit. Read about it here.

And what is with the new Vince Neil, he looks like Jon Lovitz.



Ok, that picture was edited, but I bet you couldn't notice.

And here is something that has bothered me since the winner of Make Rock History was announced. The final six bands performing for Motley Crue's competition were: The Spittin Cobras, Lorene Drive, The Dirty Pearls, Waterstreet, The Heroine, and Something to Burn. Around October 31, Something to Burn had to withdrawal from the competition.

I used to compete in a few competitions back in my heyday. Yea they were pie eating contests, but contests none the less. If there were ten contestants and one dropped out, the judges wouldn't add another person, they would just let the nine compete against each other.

That is how this competition should have gone. Instead of six bands, there should have been five since Something to Burn had to drop out. Then it wouldn't look like such a fucking fix when The Last Vegas is added to the competition and they mysteriously win.

A band that has a shit load of press and been featured in Guitar Hero II (a game played by 10 million people) miraculously wins a competition that awards them with a recording contract, a management deal, 20k in equipment, and 25 thousand dollars in cash.

The whole thing reeks of a conspiracy. I don't blame The Last Vegas because I think they kick ass. I don't really blame Motley Crue either. I think blame lies directly on the suits who run Tenth St. Entertainment. They saw an opportunity to pick a band that already had a metric ton of press behind them and it saw how it would be easier (less money in the long run) to get this band up and running...instead of doing the right thing and picking one of the original five.

Also, the public voted on those original six for one reason or another. To add The Last Vegas to the bill is a giant boot the collective testicles of every John and Jane Q. Public who voted for the final six. Then when the competition goes down to the judges: a band steps down, another band (not voted for by the public) is added, and that band (not voted on by the public) WINS the whole fucking thing as picked by the judges.

I hope you are getting the picture here of how screwed these final bands were. Here they are going into the biggest competition of their musical careers, only to find out...they never really had a shot in the first place.

The press release of Something to Burn dropping off the bill came out on October 31. The competition was on November 10. That left 10 days between the announcement and the live performance in front of the judges. How about taking the other top vote getters (not in the top 6) and allowing the public to decide who would replace Something to Burn? I wouldn't be crying FIX if that happened.

Shit, if Tenth St. Entertainment rigged the whole second voting thing, the voting thing I just proposed in the paragraph before this one, I wouldn't fucking care. As long as the whole competition appeared democratic instead of this insider bullshit.

We have no idea what went on after Something to Burn dropped out. We have no inside tips because we haven't sold out and become a corporate cock sucker. All we know, is this is how it appears to the public and the bands who worked hard and rocked the Whiskey on November 10. If you are an insider and want to set the record straight, email us. We would be glad to feature your response.

We are also in the process of reaching out to the REAL top 5 bands so we can feature them on this site. If you know them, help us get in touch them. Then we can ask them how they FEEL about having a band no one voted for added to the bill at the last minute.
