Tour Tuesday: RIP Mötley Crüe

The Final Tour

This news can’t wait for Music Monday. So I bring you Tour Tuesday.

Motley Crue is calling it quits. But not for the reasons most other bands do.

They want to go out on top. And what better way then to legally force themselves to at the end of 2015 when their Final Tour ends and they, as a collective band, take their final bow.

And with all 4 original members alive and together, this is a perfect way to end a 33 year legacy as one of the loudest, hardest and greatest bands of all time.

Original To The End

The tour, combined with many other marketing campaigns tied to all of it, will be huge. This is going to be the end that other bands will have to really work to top, if they wanted to go out on top and in style.

I’ve been a Motley Crue fan since the very beginning with “Too Fast For Love” and have followed their career and have seen them a few times live already. So having one last time to see them will be awesome.
