How Classless Act Got Support Slot With Motley Crue and Def Leppard

Classless Act singer Derek Day said a case of “right place, right time” landed his band the Stadium Tour opening slot for  Motley Crue , Def Leppard , Poison and Joan Jett .

The rising-star band just released its debut album,  Welcome to the Show , and even though it performs only a four-song set at each show, its audience is significantly larger than anything it’s played to before.

“We were recording the album – we had Bob Rock produce it – and he only produced about half of it before the pandemic had struck the world,” Day told Vinyl Writer Music in a recent interview. “So, he couldn’t finish the album, but when Bob jumped off the project, he suggested that we record the album at Tommy Lee ’s place because he has a studio under his house.”

That led to a situation where Lee would appear and “listen to a lot of the unfinished material before anyone else heard it,” Day noted. “And that sort of put us in a cool spot. It didn’t get us a spot on the Stadium Tour, but it kind of showed people who we were as people and as a band.”

The next step came when Classless Act approached Crue’s management with the completed record. “It certainly helped that we had Bob on our side and we had management,” the singer said. As it happened, the previously announced opening act, Tuk Smith and the Restless Hearts, were unable to join the tour. “It was just right place, right time. ... I know Tuk - he was on that tour because he was ready to go, and then everything kind of hit the fan. So, now, we just had finished our album right when the pandemic had ended, so it was kind of perfect timing.”

Day said his band was able to analyze attendance figures for each Stadium Tour stop. "We’ve been trying to track that as much as we can," he noted. "Sometimes it’s been 4,000 people around 3:30 or 4. One time, it was like 8,700, which is pretty damn good. And one time it rained a little bit, and we just pushed everything back about 30 minutes and then had 21,000 people in the stadium. … Regardless, there’s a lot of people there - more than any club we’ve ever played, every show. So, it’s frickin’ mind-bending."

Asked if Classless Act was finding it difficult to control their energy level after a short set, Day said, “What’s really challenging is the opposite. In a weird way, it’s like we put 110 billion percent out in the first two songs, so we’re actually quite tired by the third or fourth song. Luckily, those are, like, the only songs we play. … It’s still a learning experience, but hopefully, we’ll get it down by the 10th show or so.” He added that he hasn't spent any time with the artists higher up the bill yet.

“We talked to Poison … even Joan Jett a little bit," he said. "It’s just been passing, very polite. … Hopefully, soon we’ll be able to have those conversations.”

Motley Crue : Red White and Crue Tour

December 7, 2004 by Jarrod Vrazel

Motley Crue offically announced the Red White and Cr e Tour at a press conference in Hollywood. All four original members have reunited for the first time in six years for the new tour. Tickets go on sale on December 11.

The new tour resulted not only from strong demand by homegrown audiences, but was largely fueled by the diligent efforts of Mags Revell, a UK promoter with Metropolis Music Group, who launched his own grass-roots campaign in the UK designed to get the band to reunite. Taking the unprecedented steps of placing advertising in UK media and putting a hold on concert venues in the UK for June, 2005, Revell’s efforts quickly gained traction with fans all across the world who added fuel to the fire by taking to the internet and spreading the word.

Said Revell, I honestly did not know until now whether Motley Crue would respond to our efforts. With the help of tens of thousands of fans in the UK and around the world, I wanted to show the band that there was a real demand for their reunion and I took a big risk. This is the band that we all never thought we’d have the chance to see live again and I strongly admire them for responding to their fans. It is the realization of a dream for so many people for whom Motley Crue represents what rock music is all about.

M tley Cr e are a gang of musicians that climbed the mountain of rock to success, Allen Kovac, CEO of Tenth Street Entertainment, said in a statement. This tour and new music delivers to all those who love one of rock’s most passionate and aggressive bands.

Nikki Sixx, Vince Neil, Mick Mars and Tommy Lee, the original members of Motley Crue, whose stature as the world’s most infamous rock band was made legend in their NY Times best-selling autobiography The Dirt , will be touring the world in 2005, beginning with arenas in the US and Canada in February. The US portion of the the world tour, dubbed RED, WHITE AND CRUE TOUR 2005 BETTER LIVE THAN DEAD, is being presented by VH1 and VH1 Classic and goes on-sale to the general public this weekend. Beginning today, however, VH1.com are offering a limited number of seats on their website to fans wanting to beat the box office rush.

For dedicated Cr e fans it’s all about the live show. In a marathon Motley Crue Style, the band will launch its world tour in February, starting in U.S. arenas and coming back for an amphitheater tour in August and September.

In conjunction with the tour, the band’s US & International record labels also announced the release of a definitive 2-CD Greatest Hits collection that chronicles the band’s entire career. Red White and Crue is set for release February 1, 2005.

The M tley Cr e saga began in a musical era when rock was still recovering from the emasculation of disco and the punk rebellion has already begun to take root. In 1981, bassist Nikki Sixx left his glam-rock band London and met drummer Tommy Lee, both strung-out adolescents with a penchant for the party life and a knack for creating fist-in-the-air anthems. With the recruitment of guitarist Mick Mars and singer Vince Neil, the band adopted the moniker M tley Cr e and recorded their first album, Too Fast for Love, a paradigm-shifting effort which stoked the growth of the glam-metal movement based in Los Angeles. Picked up by Elektra, the Cr e released a string of classic albums through the 1980s: Shout at the Devil, Theatre of Pain, Girls, Girls, Girls and Dr. Feelgood, generating hit singles from most of their cover tracks as well as Smokin in the Boys Room, ’don’t Go Away Mad (Just Go Away) and many others. They were also selling out stadiums, eventually to the tune of over 10 million concert tickets.

Yet the forces that made M tley Cr e’s kick-ass music so authentic, namely their own reckless lifestyle of excess, gradually took its toll. In 1989 Nikki Sixx was revived after flatlining from a heroin overdose, the most extreme example of the band’s indulgences. The band’s current reunion comes at a time of re-growth for all of its members: Tommy Lee is currently shepherding his best-selling biography, Tommyland, along with a new NBC reality show to debut in 2005; Vince Neil, having toured continuously as a solo artist, has appeared on several TV sitcoms as well as the WB reality series The Surreal Life ; Nikki Sixx has been touring and recording with Brides of Destruction, writing songs and is preparing to release his autobiographical The Heroin Diaries; and Mick Mars, having struggled since his teens with the chronic, degenerative illness ankylosing spondylitis, has been successfully recovering from hip replacement surgery.

Fans can see performances by Motley Crue on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Friday, December 10th and The Spike TV Video Game Awards on Tuesday, December 14th. A feature film based on the band’s best-selling autobiography, The Dirt, is currently being developed by the band in conjunction with MTV Films/Paramount. The screenplay is being written by Rich Wilkes (XXX).

After the press conference, Motley Crue performed at the Palladium in Hollywood. The opening moments of the show were broadcast live on CNN’s Larry King Live.

Motley Crue set list for the The Palladium in Hollywood, CA December 6, 2004:

Dr. Feelgood

Shout At The Devil

If I Die Tomorrow

Girls, Girls, Girls

Regarding the band’s several-year hiatus prior to the reformation, bassist Nikki Sixx told Reuters, For as much as it’s like Wow! This is like the ultimate rollercoaster ride in life it was kinda nice to get off that for a little while. But I’m jonesin for the thrill now.

The first leg of the tour, taking in North American arenas, will begin on Feb. 17 in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. Even though 2004 was a dismal year for touring and Motley Crue’s last few jaunts were not exactly hot tickets, Sixx was confident the band had the goods to bring the fans in.

We wanna be louder, we wanna be fuckin ruder. We want more, more, more. That’s fuckin Motley Crue style, Sixx told Reuters. We’re back in … It’s gonna freak you out. Trust me, no one’s seen anything like this in years.
