6. Anyone stupid enough to go to a Mötley Crüe concert deserves to get ripped off.

7. Who is Motley Crue?

8. Uh, did the person who wrote this article actually read the complaint??? Page 6, line 24, clearly states that Stubner managed the Crue "Since mid-2004". So why bring up the 90's or any other pre-2004 era? Besides, how much touring has the Crue done since mid-2004?

9. By the early '90's the glam band/hair bands -- Motley Crue and the others -- were already passe; Nirvana and the seattle grunge sound had taken over.

So if he was re-selling tickets to any shows in the '90's he wasn't making making money hand-over-fist. (Incidentally, not even sure if 'The Crue' did any real touring the '90's).

Now, however, if this guy was scalping/re-selling these tickets in the mid 80's (1985: Theatre of Pain, 1987: Girls, Girls, Girls) then he would have made out like a bandit, and probably made a huge mountain of green.

Matter of fact: the first concert I ever went to was Motley Crue - the 'Girls, Girls, Girls' concert tour. The year was1987 and I was in my very early teens. Saw them in Philly, and my friends and I bought our tickets legally. (I think Poison opened for them ... but I honestly really can't remember). What I DO remember, however, though - was some dude in the parking lot was not selling scalped tickets --- but he was also selling opium....

I remember it so distinctly because to this day it cracks me up: 'Opium' also happened to be the name of the very popular Calvin Klein perfume during that time. I wore opium perfume, as did many of my friends. On the other hand -- at the time, and my very young age, I was completley unfamiliar with the alternate use of the word opium, and what the guy was really asking us if we were interested in buying. (at that time I had only smoked weed a handlful of times, and had never even so much as seen any other form of 'drug'). So INSTEAD of being fast on the uptake, I thought the dude was selling hot bottles of opium perfume that must have 'fallen off a truck' somewhere.

As he's murmuring 'opium', 'opium' under his breath while we walked past him ... we all sorta just kept walking without aknowledging him/it. But about 10 feet later I grabbed one of my friends and said something to the effect of: 'oh, wait, hey -- let's go back that guy and see how much he wants for a bottle of opium, and I wonder if has any bottles of White Linen or Coco Channel". LMFAO. They immediately explained to me he wasn't selling perfume and we just made our way into the venue.

My stupidity on that remained a running joke on me for several years with the old group friends who were there. I never lived that down nearly all the way through highschool. LMAO ... still.

12. Get 'em, Nikki!
Motley Crue is the greatest band of all time! Nikki is the ultimate showman and a musical genius! And Doc McGhee managed them in the 80's and early 90's until he had some legal problems that stemmed from cocaine abuse. Lurve lurve lurve the Crue!

13. ...people want Motley Crue tickets? And they PAY for them...? WTF?

14. Motley Crue Sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! These clowns are worthless. I never liked them. They hit it big in the 80's, but who gives a s*** now. They've tried solo projects and all of them failed..They're aging and cant rely on the party gimmick anymore.

Rolling Stones, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin...These bands Are Kings...Motley Crue was popular because girls wanted to get with them bottom line. All of Motley Crue sucks!!!!!!!

15. They reunited early in 2005 and toured for that year and half of 2006. Rolling Stone listed them in top ten grossing tours of 2005 and only band in top ten with average ticket prices under $50. People still love Motley and always will......100 years from now - go into a stip club and see what music they are playing - ill bet u anything you hear "Girls, Girls,Girls".....Scotsman is an idiot.
