He´s the one they call Dr. Feelgood…

Nikki Sixx, Vince Neil, Mick Mars and tommy lee are the name of the four members of Mötley Crüe, my favorite band. When in I used to live in Colombia, (I live here since 2011) listened for the first time their music. In that moment, they became my favorite band.

The ticket

So, in my first month here, I saw an announce saying: “Mötley Crüe, Live Santiago, 14^Th May, 2011 – Movistar Arena) and I gotta say that it was the best thing in life that has ever occurred to me. I asked to my dad for the money, 50.000 pesos, the front row, I didn´t see it expensive and for sure it was totally worth.

I worked for one month to pay him and when the big day arrived; I was on the file since the 9 a.m. (the concert started at 9 p.m.) and between those twelve hours, I met a lot of great people there. It was exciting to talk to people who like your same music, and feel the same passion that covers you  listening classic Glam metal songs like Girls, girls, girls, Live wire, On with the show, Dancing on glass, Dr feel good and I could continue naming their songs, but the point is that  I had a great time meanwhile. The doors opened at 7 p.m. and the band who opened the show was Buckcherry. I only knew a couple of their songs but I got to say that they really made way shorter the 2 hours of waiting that remaining. Finally when Mötley Crüe went out to the stage, the crowd gone crazy and sang so loud every song that even I got out of my voice the next day.

Unfortunally, the band split and played their last show ever the last day of the 2015, in Los Angeles. The same place where they did their first show, back there on 1981, so that´s why this is the history of how I saw, for the first and last time, my favorite band.
