Motley Few

Here’s a case of a “Shout at the Devil” that wasn’t heard by many. Yours truly didn’t make it to last night’s Motley Crue concert at Arco Arena, and apparently not many others did, either.

Even with the lackluster turnout and some sound problems, a rockin’ time was had by those who made it. Here’s what Tiffany Poland, a local Crue fan, had to say about the show:

“The doors were supposed to open at 5 p.m. and they didn't open until 5:30 p.m. because one of the bands was doing a sound check. So the crowd got a little loud because it was hot outside. I don't think I've ever seen Arco Arena with less people, not to mention the feedback at Arco made it hard to understand the words, even though I know them. I had been looking forward to seeing the Crue for quite a while. And while it was crazy and a bit inappropriate for some of the young kids that were there, it was not anything that I hadn't expected from Motley Crue. I will for sure see them again if they come next year because I love their music.”
