The Mayor of Los Angeles has declared today, July 31st, “Mötley Crüe Saints of Los Angeles Day” in the California city. The band will mark the occasion by joining a partnership with the Guitar Center on Sunset Blvd. to give back to local artists. So why are Motley Crue getting their own day? Anyone who’s read about the band’s debauch exploits in their biography The Dirt — which the band drew from for their new album Saints of Los Angeles — can attest to how much the band has contributed to the City of Angels. Tommy Lee and the gang better not enjoy Crüe Day that much, however, as the band is scheduled to play a concert in Phoenix, Arizona tonight.

With all the troubles in Los Angeles, you think the mayor wouldn’t have time for this nonsense.
Besides, Motley Crue isn’t even a good band!
Obviously the mayor has had nervous breakdown!

I’m in the mood to laugh, what are your musical tastes? Motley Crue is a great band that puts on one hell of a show.

Motley Crue is trash, as is anyone who listens to it.
Joe | 7/31/2008, 7:10 pm EST
So what do you do, A., put in earplugs if you accidentally catch a listen to “Dr. Feelgood” on the radio, lest you turn into trash?
h8ter | 7/31/2008, 9:11 pm EST
the crue was and will always be the best band ever, face it.
rowdy | 7/31/2008, 9:51 pm EST

I’m not a Motley Crue fan so I have a fair perspective on this. They aren’t “The Best”. But they are good. If not for the stupid decision to fire Vince in their prime they would have probably had a really good decade in the 90’s. They definately deserve this credit also!! They are a LA band who made it big. Their songs have always been more relevant or plesant to hear than bands like Poison, Ratt, and other LA bands. They are proud of LA and theyve survived quite a bit of drama! Good to see a Metal band get some attention!

Motley Poo ain’t no Guns N’ Roses!!!!! Now that’s a band that kicks ass.
KMS (Germany) | 8/3/2008, 5:18 pm EST
That’s an honour they really deserve! The Crue rules since 27 years in their town and in the whole world.
By the way: who is Guns-N-Chinese-Democracy-will- never-be-released-Roses?!?

I just seen them in concert for the fifth time, at the Crue Fest, this was a shame to see four talented men act like boys going through puberty. The porn they showed on the big screens and the anti-Bush signs while playing Shout at the devil was uncalled for.
This is what are country has come to, and the mayor calling this Motley Crue saints of LA day, I wonder if he saw the concert, the saint blowing the devil. The girl on girl, the Tommy cam, if he did he should be booted from office.
Motley Crue needs to keep politics and porn to themselves, they are almost or are 50 years old.

All i got to say is good for them! Why must we compare GnR to the crue they both have put out amazing music and make LA proud. I must say the new crue rocks look forward to thier next tour to hear it all live! See you in vancouver!
Keith | 9/11/2008, 7:39 pm EST
I just can`t believe it!….Crüe had 1 good album..Shout at the devil..in 1983 or 84 THAT`S IT!!!

Thank you. I appreciate that. That is EXACTLY the look I was going for.
The majority of people who like the Crue understand the Crue. To understand their music, you will know that judgments are something we can all roll off our backs.
They are a gang of friends who did something different. They played music that was not normal. They tour and play shows that push the envelope. People talk about pornography at current Motley shows…stating they’ve seen them 5 times, and are complaining of naked girls?? Back in 1987 the Crue put out this little record called Girls, Girls, Girls…whatcha think that song is about??? Josie, their lead dancer has been with the band for YEARS…the hot girl aspect of this band is not new! Nasty Habits…they weren’t naked, but they might as well been.
I’m just surprised that fans are “shocked” at the current antics of our boys. They’ve always been outrageous.
Haven’t any of you “fans” read the Dirt? Sure, they’re almost 50…they can’t have fun anymore? They are sober, and having the time of their lives. They could be high as a kite and almost dying on stage, or sober with naked girls on stage. I’d pick sober, and I’m a STRAIGHT GIRL!
Motley Crue – Best Band (IN MY WORLD!)

THEY DESERVE IT

Tommy ain’t got nothing on me!
Fuck off | 9/18/2008, 9:12 pm EST
Motley Crue kicks ass.. if you don’t like them then what the hell are you doing in this page. Crue fans don’t give a shit about what haters have to say.
Alicia | 10/2/2008, 9:29 am EST
STOP SAYING THAT GUNS AND ROSES IS BETTER THAN MOTLEY CRUE. the only way they would be better is if Axle was not Such an ASSHOLE, and if Slash and Duff joined GNR again and that is never gonna happen, ( well lets hope it doesn’t) Because Slash and Duff have Velvet Revolver. Oh and by the Way It is about Damn Time that they start giving Bands there own days. MOTLEY CRUE IS THE FUCKING BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!
scott | 10/12/2008, 12:57 pm EST
crue rules gnr only put out 1 good cd crue been here 4 27 years. crue heads r the best fuck the rest
Nevah Censor | 2/20/2009, 5:10 pm EST
If you dont like their music, then dont read articles about them. I hate the Cyrus girl, and never listen or read anything about or by her.
The Crue has gotten everything they wished for, and everything they deserved.
So unless you’ve hit rock bottom and still struggled to achieve your dream, I dont think you have any room to talk.
In any case, all the sh*t they’ve dished out, they’ve gotten back 10 fold.
nikki jacky | 3/6/2009, 10:52 pm EST

You guys..lol some of the things you guys are saying is simply hilarious! Motley Crue kicks ass and always will, there not the best, which honestly you cant call any band the best, thats completly ignorant of music itself.
But we really do need to fix this music now days, sick of all this whining about stupid drama. Crue had the right idea, lets party, screw the drama.
This is why they are a big infulence on my band, Sick Loves. We are ROck N Roll and nothing more. Check us out
Oh and by the way, the new GNR album sucks haha, what the hell happened?

Yeah.. | 9/22/2009, 12:56 am EST
Although this comment is pretty late [just surfin' the web a bit tonight] I must say, that the comparisons to Guns N’ Roses are bull. Who came first? Oh yeah, it was CRUE. Who took the GnR boys under their wing? MOTLEY. Yeah.
IF | 10/9/2009, 12:30 am EST
