I saw Motley Crue in 1983 or 84, in Hammerlien (sp?) Hall in Germany.
They were opening for Iron Maiden. It was one of the best events I've
ever been to. Not so much musically (which wasn't bad), but as far as
just having a great time.
There were no seats, it was just a big gymnasium type thing. We (about 8 of us)
went in and just gorillaed our way to the stage. I mean right there, hands
on the stage.
After the Crue was done, they came out and did their bow and whatnot, and
Tommy Lee handed me the rest of the beer he was drinking. A Heinekin, shaped
like a beer keg. I drank the rest, of course. That is frightening to think about
now. LOL.
During Iron Maiden, I caught a Nicko McBrain drumstick, an Adrien Smith sweatband,
and high fived Bruce Dic.kinson probably a dozen times. (he would run along the
stagefront high fiving everyone).
The coolest part, though, was just being right there. practically in the middle of
Motley Crue and Iron Maiden.
