MÖTLEY CRÜE Bassist On 'Crüe Fest 2' Stage Show: 'It's Pretty Sick, Beginning To End'
July 17, 2009MÖTLEY CRÜE will perform its classic 1989 album, "Dr. Feelgood", in its entirety on Crüe Fest 2, the sophomore outing of the band's summer festival tour, which kicks off on July 19 in Camden, New Jersey and concludes on September 5 in Darien Lake, New York.
CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx has checked in with the following update:
"Just drug my tired ass back from production rehearsal day three. The set is insane. All-new stage. All-new lighting, pyro and video. Tons of new music.
"Some of these songs have never been played live before so we're still blowing off the cobwebs. To be honest, it sounds pretty damn good.
"This is my fave set so far and feels so good be doing something new production-wise. I can't wait to see your faces when the show starts… It's pretty sick, beginning to end…
"I have to say, this show really is a labor of love for us but the real credit goes to all the crew. They have been working around the clock for over a month on this. That is the part fans don't see. It doesn't matter if it's a Broadway play, a rock show or even a movie… sometimes the real stars of the show are behind the curtain."
The main stage at the Live Nation-produced Crüe Fest 2 also features GODSMACK, THEORY OF A DEADMAN, DROWING POOL, and introduces CHARM CITY DEVILS.
Crüe Fest 2 recently announced a partnership with Monster Energy to add an additional stage at this year's festival. The new Monster Energy Stage doubles the entertainment value at Crüe Fest 2 with five extra bands showcasing the next generation of rock, including one local band in each tour market. The performances on the Monster Energy Stage will be staggered between main stage acts creating a non-stop music event and adding to the overall festival atmosphere. With no change in ticket prices, rock fans will be given the opportunity to see ten great rock bands for the price of one.
A local band will be chosen by the presenting radio station in each market contributing to the legacy of rock bands on the tour. The chosen band will open the Monster Energy Stage for a dedicated and Crüe Fest 2-sized crowd.
The two-disc DVD set containing footage from last year's inaugural edition of Crüe Fest sold 7,000 copies in its first week of release to debut at position No. 1 on Billboard's Top Music Videos chart. The set contains the full CRÜE concert from on August 28, 2008 at Toronto, Ontario, Canada's Molson Amphitheatre along with select tracks from the other bands that took part in the festival — BUCKCHERRY, PAPA ROACH, TRAPT and SIXX: A.M..
