There’s no doubt that Motley Crue inspired careers of many rock and metal bands since the 80s.
After Motley Crue reunion news broke out, some fans were super stoked while some were disappointed.
Some fans took to social media and expressed their anger over the reunion announcement.
Yesterday, former Skid Row drummer Phil Varone took to his Facebook page and addressed the fans.
Here’s the statement:
“After the MÖTLEY CRÜE tour announcement, I was disgusted by the resentment and anger of so-called fans.
“My 3 Cents: If you’re angry that a band is going to tour, even after a farewell tour, then you’re not a fan. A fan would embrace the chance to see their favorite band again, no matter what circumstances surround it.
“Bands are very complicated. Being in a band is a full-time job, even when not touring or recording.
“I don’t expect fans to understand the dynamic of keeping a band functioning, or functional, but it’s a lot harder than you think. A band is made up of band members, each with different personalities, different influences, different goals, different addictions, different problems, different egos, and different ideas. Some members will evolve with age, and some will stay a*sholes for life. Some may see their part in situations, and some continue to blame others. In many cases, a band or a musician will make rash decisions out of survival and self-preservation. As time passes and tempers calm, a once bad situation may not look that bad when seen though the lucid mind. When that happens, the fans get the greatest gift of all; their favorite band back.
“If you love music, if you love MÖTLEY CRÜE, if you love concerts, then you’re getting the greatest gift of all.
“I will never, ever, ever, ever understand how someone using the moniker of ‘Fan’ can be angry about MÖTLEY CRÜE touring again. Contrary to popular belief, a band has enough problems dealing with the band than trying to mastermind a plan to betray its fans. The only betrayal I see is from the so-called fans talking sh*t about the band. For that, shame on you.”
Legendary rockers Mötley Crüe have entertained us with some of the classic glam rock songs in the last few decades. Having sold 100 million albums worldwide has made them one of the best-selling bands of all time. Fans love the Crue boys and without any doubt, 1989’s Dr. Feelgood is Mötley Crüe’s most popular album which reached number one. Motley Crue boys have also achieved seven platinum or multi-platinum certifications, six Top 20 pop singles, twenty-two Top 40 mainstream rock hits, and nine Top 10 albums on the Billboard 200 chart. Vince Neil is one of the most loved frontmen in the history of rock music.
