"Live Wire" had already set the night on fire, and while some (?) girls were beginning to undress, Tommy Lee asked them, "What happened to your clothes?" I've thought a number of prologues but this is one of the Crue's unique and distinctive live moments, so I couldn't have left it unremarked. Don't get it wrong, though; Motley Crue isn't that simple. There are bands that owe their success to their accomplishments on stage. For example; Motley Crue, by all means! "Carnival Of Sins" was recorded 2 years ago during the band's reunion, which was also captured on a DVD. A fantastic revival of their greatest moments in time and space...

Throughout their entire career they have gained constant friends but then some sworn enemies also. Either way, there's a quite simple explanation: if you are keen on hard rock's heat of passion, if you feel refreshed listening to outrageous "Red Hot" music that turns you on without any hesitation, if you feel your heart beating while you're in a surrealistic canvas, if you aren't politically correct, then the mighty MC is the band you've always dreamt of. On the other hand, if all the above sound awkward to you, there's no way you'd ever be fascinated by these bizarre personas. Crue is one of those rock groups that its members have been living their lives - up to now - the way they sang them. In other words, they rock their lives away, but curiously enough they've survived. Motley Crue has always been different, peculiar, original, irresistible, passionate, colorful, at all times drop–outs, glittering, an L.A. metal band that has been going up in flames for 25 years, will rock your world like no one ever did. Crue has being one of the main reasons that led me to hard rock, so it's impossible for me being adjective. Nevertheless, this live set is stunning as is natural and it's your chance to make contact (in case you haven't made one yet) with the best! Smoking guitars, insane performances from Neil, Sixx, Mars and Lee, roaring audience, and eventually history is made. The most influential glam metal band is inviting you right now to the best party of your life. Depend on it!

Finally: adrenaline rushing through my veins, kickstart my heart, hope it never stops...

Special rating: 9/10 for this album and 10/10 for the memories.
