Cruefest 2008 Review and Photo Gallery
Thursday July 10, 2008
I had the opportunity to go to the inaugural Cruefest, the soon to be annual touring festival organized and headlined by Motley Crue. I was at the Charlotte, North Carolina show on July 5, 2008. In addition to the Crue, the other bands were Buckcherry, Papa Roach, Sixx AM and Trapt. The venue was jam packed, the Crue was in great form, and the rest of the bands put on solid performances.

Sounds like a good time. I’m going to the show tonight. I take it they don’t allow cameras. I wish Vince would get in shape so he could sing w/o losing his breath. He only sings the first word of the line and lets the crowd finish. That gets old. I haven’t heard him sing well since the reunion tour.
motley crue sucked
We attended Cruefest last night at Montage Mountain. We got off to a rockin start even before we got there as a purple Lambo passed us on the highway. We were hoping it was Bam Margera heading the same way we were. My son was with us and LOVES Bam. Low and behold, while walking to the gates in the parking lot…he was driving right behind us to the VIP section! Unfortunately, we missed Trapt as we were waiting in the entrance line while they were playing. Sixx AM had a great sound and vocals. Papa Raoch was awesome…Jacoby energized the crowd with their surprisingly harder edge when they play in concert. Buckcherry rocked it with all of their hit songs and of course, Motley Crue sent the concert into full party mania! They really put on a great show still after all these years. The only complaint I have is there are still some people who get very offended by the Bush bashing and in your face political retoric. My husband is due back in Iraq in January. The first time we noticed it on the screens, we let it slide…then it came several times afterward and then it started to t-us off. Had they just left their political voices off stage, the concert would have been perfect. I can’t understand while Hollywood can’t just stick with their craft and feel just because their famous…you have an open mike. To me it makes no sense. They are the ones who make millions and the democrats are the ones who are going to tax their asses off and redistribute their hard earned dollar to the person next door who sit home jobless all day with their hand out. But in Hollywood, hating your president is the “cool thing” to do. It’s a shame they had to take that road and it’s disrespectful to their fan base, especially military troops and their families
