MOTLEY CRUE ACCUSES MANAGER OF DIRTY DEALINGS: June 18, 2007 Motley Crue is claiming that Rock Star made Tommy Lee look like less of a rock star. The Dr. Feelgood band sued one of their managers Monday, claiming that Carl Stubner made business decisions with his own interests in mind and gave Lee bad career advice, which in turn tarnished the group's image. Not only did Lee's participation in the reality shows Tommy Lee Goes to College on NBC and Rock Star: Supernova on CBS get in the way of Motley Crue's 2005 Red, White & Crue tour and plans to record a new studio album, costing the band's annual revenue to fall to only $19 million in 2006, but the NBC series' "inane overtones" made Lee look "incoherent, lazy and incompetent," alleges the lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court. The show, which debuted in 54th place in the Nielsens and portrayed Lee disrupting classes, consistently arriving late for?and struggling through?marching band practice and supposedly hitting on his college-age tutor damaged the reputation that he earned "through years of great effort and hard work with Motley Crue," the band states in court documents obtained by tmz.com. Plaintiffs Lee, Nikki Sixx, Vince Neil and Mick Mars allege that Stubner and his company, Sanctuary Management Group, over-promoted Lee's unsuccessful side projects while dropping the ball with Motley Crue, which, per the complaint, grossed more than $30 million on its worldwide Red, White & Crue tour but sustained damages because Lee was not available at the band's disposal, causing them to perform fewer dates. Lee's packed schedule also prevented him from promptly joining his band mates in the studio in 2006 to record an album that, per an agreement they had with Wal-Mart, was supposed to be released this year. Stubner acknowledged during a meeting at his office in December 2005 that Lee was "overexposed," the lawsuit states, and agreed that Lee should be "exclusively available" to record, tour and film a movie supporting the tour. But, then came Rock Star: Supernova in 2006, and Lee's unavailability supposedly forced Motley Crue to cancel 40 shows and lose more than $8 million in ticket and merchandise sales. The show's lackluster ratings and the so-so success Supernova achieved after the fact "diminished the public's interest in Lee and their overall perception of his musical talents," the lawsuit reads. "Stubner's motivation was greed. He has brazenly said as much," the "Girls, Girls, Girls" guys claim. "Stubner stated that he received significantly higher commissions on Lee's solo projects because he did not have to share his take with the other managers. [The band has two other managers, neither of whom is named in the suit.] "He claimed that it was a 'no brainer' to prefer and promote Lee's projects over those of Motley Crue." According to the lawsuit, Stubner told the band that he'd only make Lee readily available for tour dates if they and the other managers agreed to increase his commission. The defendant also demanded 100 comped tickets per show and then sold them at "scalper" prices, Sixx, Lee, Neil and Mars allege. The platinum-selling rockers, who also claim that Stubner's "extortion" is jeopardizing their 2007 tour, are asking for more than $20 million in damages for breach of fiduciary duty and constructive fraud.

Welcome to the party.

I heard a rumor about one the other day. Patience, my friend, there may be good new soon.........

Buy it and send it to me. I've done it before....

The parts are the value, there. I would buy it, take the vintage parts off and put on new bits and play it JUST LIKE IT IS.

Where?

What repair?

THIS JUST IN! A fanpage for LSD that has all existing recorded music in MP3 format.... http://www.7171.org/lsd/audio.html Woo Hoo!

Y&T WAS big for a while.

The band that BLEW MY FUCKING MIND live when I saw them was Life, Sex and Death...a band with a killer guitarist(Alex Kane, now of Antiproduct), and great rhythm section (12 String HAMER BASS ALERT!) and a frontman named Stanley who was shabby, smelled, had a wierd voice and was a great frontman and terrific songwriter. They did one album, called the Silent Majority. A bunch of us went to Hammerjack's in Baltimore to see them(after hearing one song on a cassette single) When we were backing our Harleys to the wall out front by the door where we always parked there was a guy in the way panhandling. A few blasts of the exhaust moved him to another area of the sidewalk, we all parked and went inside. After the opener, the bum staggered in and walked onstage, picked up a battered old Gibson ES 125 and started singing. My life changed, right there. Why these guys didn't go huge is beyond me. I guess the typical consumer wan't ready to a band like this. Great pop/metal songs with a great ballad tossed in, killer guitar tones and that 12sting rumble, all delivered with harmonies that work. Some videos... http://video.aol.com/video/life-sex-and-de...r-fools/1463073 http://video.aol.com/video/life-sex-and-de...sht-ass/1463068 Damn, these guys were good. Live, they took your attention and kept it. Then they broke up. Who's next?

Paul's a great guy, and very knowledgable about vintage guitars.

I heard Paults play and went out and bought a gun.

Bad taste. Nice.

"Mildly surprised". Doubtful. He reads the board often. Dontcha, Frank? Don't bother to reply.

Welcome to the family, fella.

I have every Beatles record, many originals AND later reissues. I have every Queen record. I have most of the Allmans. I have every Aerosmith record (except the 42 Greatest Hits that seem to come out every 5 months.)

I don't smoke, so I will be more comfortable. The bigger problem is that people falsely think that they must be partaking of a vice or two to enjoy live music. More often than not, somebody tells me how "wasted" they were at some concert and what a great time it was. Morons. I think there are so many other factors that are killing club audiences. In PA, the legal level is .08, and it may go down farther. Drunk driving is getting cracked down, which is good, but the occasional Gestapo tactics of the Pa State Police can be a real hassle. I have been dry for 22 years, and hit a roadblock a few weeks ago. I was made to do all kinds of gymnastics, and then a breathyliser(sp?). The cop wasn't even apologetic after the sniffer came thru virgin. He just dismissed me with a wave of his hand, like I was bothering HIM. THIS is something that people just don't want to deal with. Other diversions like better home theatres and internet stuff are also cutting into club attendance. The days of the packed club every weekend are over. I'm glad I lived and played in a time when the club scene was bedlam(the late, lamented 80's, baby!), walking on the crowd's shoulders was fun when it was a typical stage device.... now it would be impossible. Ah, shit. I am friggin' OLD.
