Remember it's Rock n' Roll .. and you like it!

Alright, so I went to two shows this past week and both were very different. Britney Spears, and Motley Crue.

On Monday night Heather and I worked a promotion at the Britney Spears concert in Boston. The Britney Tour is literally like Cirque Du Soleil featuring Britney Spears, it's amazing. The fact that she doesn't sing during any of the show is forgotten due to the crazy production of the tour. They really did take the Circus theme to heart and during her intro my jaw literally dropped. If you get the chance to go see Britney on this tour, DO IT.. the show is insane.

On Tuesday night I went to visit my friend who was working on the Motley Crue tour. Usually being backstage at shows and working on tours isn't that exciting. Yeah, there might be some partying on occasion, but generally it's a whole lot of work, and .10% "party" (at least on my end). This is certainly not the case on the Motley Crue tour. Nothing has changed since they ruled the charts. The sex, drugs, and rock n' roll, motto certainly still rings true with these guys. As I walked down the hall backstage I began noticing all of the guys dressing room signs, the "UN-Dressing Room," the clothing optional dressing room .. and so on. It continued when I went back to my friends bus to visit. As soon as I stepped on the bus I noticed a sign with the title, ATTENTION LADIES!. The sign let all visiting ladies know that they were now on a bands tour bus, and well .. anything goes. Now that they were on the bus it was mandatory they play a game called the Wheel Of MISFortune. At the end of the note it said, "Remember, it's rock n' roll .. and you like it!". I got closer to the "wheel" and started to read what they had written. Grab somebody's package, strip to your underwear, show your boobs .. the normal "groupie" stuff. I couldn't help but laugh and begin to ask about stories that came upon ladies actually spinning this wheel.

As the night went on some of my friends tour-mates tried to convince me to spin the weel .. nice try. I'm a friend, not a lady I told them but secretly hoped some girls would be joining the party so I could see how hilarious this game actually was.

After a lot of Sailor Jerry rum and a lot of walking around the venue, it was 2am, and it was bus call. I said good bye to my friend and realized I probably shouldn't drive home. The next thing I knew it was 8am and I was waking up inside my car .. great. I felt like a train had hit me, but then I realized it was just the Motley Crue tour. They certainly don't mess around.

I'd tell you to go see the show but the tour ended the following day in Portland, ME (worst end of tour city ever). Even if you don't like the band I suggest seeing them on an upcoming tour just for the sake of seeing what real rock n' roll is.. in every aspect of the words.

Glad I made it out alive!
