MÖTLEY CRÜE

U.S. SUMMER TOUR KICKS OFF

 “THE 360”

DRUM ROLLERCOASTER REVEALED

 

 

 

Legendary rock titans MÖTLEY CRÜE launched their summer U.S. tour Tuesday night (June 7) in Dallas, TX .  The iconic group thrilled fans who attended the sold-out concert with the new “360” vertical drum rollercoaster, which features TOMMY LEE being launched into multiple vertical loops while continuing to perform.

"This idea came about from when I was a kid going to concerts,” explains TOMMY LEE. “Whenever the drummer started his drum solo, I wondered why people would leave to go get a beer, buy a t-shirt, restroom, whatever!! I wanted to show people what happens behind the drumset, so I decided to expose it all by flipping the drums vertical, upside-down, making them disappear, fly over the audiences heads! Mötley Crüe brings you on a thrill ride, jump on the 360!…Lets do this! By the way, it's really f@cking difficult playing this ride!”

 

For the first time, MÖTLEY CRÜE called on the fans to decide everything from the support acts Poison and the New York Dolls, to the songs chosen for the summer run, making it the ultimate fan-interactive tour. For the final set list, the band---VINCE NEIL (vocals), MICK MARS (guitars), NIKKI SIXX (bass) and TOMMY LEE (drums)--listed every recorded song and surveyed fans at Motley.com; the shows will include several songs the band hasn’t performed live together in almost 20 years. “We’re excited to get back out on the road and launch this new, huge production on our headlining run in the U.S. ,” says VINCE NEIL.
