DVD Review: Motley Crue - "Carnival of Sins - Live" (2005)

The return of heavy metal bad boys Motley Crue is chronicled in this two-disc set filmed last April in Grand Rapids, MI, shortly after I caught them in Montreal. The Crue is firing on all four cylinders here and certainly does not disappoint. Truly, this tour, which is still going on as we speak (you gotta respect a band comprised of four guys well over 40 who play Red Deer, Alberta twice in one week, with three other gigs in between, each clocking in at well over two hours) is an event. Walking dead guitarist Mick Mars still holds it down and although Vince Neil doesn't have the lung capacity he does in the studio, it's all forgiven due to the sheer spectacle of the whole thing. Best tracks: "Looks That Kill", "Girls Girls Girls" and "Dr. Feelgood". You gotta see this thing to truly appreciate it.

And to be totally honest, I also gotta say that if you can't see the entertainment value in this show, with all of the breasts, pyro, aerialists, and of course, the raunch n' roll, I can't help but think a little less of you as a person.

Overall rating: 9.5/10
