Jett sent the crowd into a frenzy, closing in raucous fashion with the combination of “I Hate Myself For Loving You” and “Bad Reputation.” While the crowd, fists in the air, helped Jett deliver the trademark “oh yeah!” backing to “Do You Wanna Touch Me (Oh Yeah),” the biggest sing-along of the afternoon was saved for “Crimson and Clover,” a top 10 hit for The Blackhearts in 1982, 13 years after it first topped the charts courtesy of Tommy James and The Shondells. “I’ve got rock and roll music on my radio!” sang Jett during the performance, spinning to her right as she played. In the movie, Jett teams with Fox to deliver the Bruce Springsteen-penned “Light of Day” as fictitious rock group The Barbusters, part of a project shot throughout the Chicagoland area. “I just wanna mention this real quickly before the next song ‘Light of Day,’” she said, referencing her film debut alongside Michael J.

Mega-platinum pop-metal act Def Leppard has continued to tour, including a 2017 jaunt with Poison - which had been teasing the tour with a countdown clock on its website - and Tesla last year. (Neil continued to tour as a solo act, playing plenty of Crüe standards.) They came back together to participate in the making of The Dirt, which unexpectedly brought them closer and led Neil, Mars, Sixx and Lee back into the recording studio. “Well, destruction has never been an issue for Mötley Crüe.” Watch it here:Īfter 35 years together, the Crüe men parted ways without speaking to one another after their final show on Decemat the Forum in Inglewood. “They knew that if they were ever to stand onstage together again, that contract would have to be destroyed,” the clip’s voice-over says. Then last month, the metal act posted a “Mötley Crüe Is Back!” video that showed them “blowing up” their Cessation of Touring Agreement. Within weeks after the launch of the biopic based on its memoir, the band’s music sales skyrocketed. The Crüe - singer Vince Neil, guitarist Mick Mars, bassist Nikki Sixx and drummer Tommy Lee - has seen a surge in popularity since The Dirt premiered on Netflix in March (watch the trailer here).
