By giving up touring while they can still sell out major venues, Motley Crue are well aware that they're losing the opportunity to continue to ride the gravy train.
Yesterday I talked a little about the final Motley Crue show in Colorado from this past weekend, but I didn't go into great detail. I didn't want to ruin the show for anyone who might go later, but then I realized there is no later... Unless you are going to travel and pay a pretty penny that is. So, I had to show you the coolest part of the show.
A surprising story broke this week when it was revealed by Billy Corgan that Motley Crue's Tommy Lee would be playing drums on the Smashing Pumpkins' upcoming full-length 'Monuments to an Elegy.' This means current Pumpkins drummer Mike Byrne won't be featured on the record, but Corgan has just released a statement explaining why Lee was recruited.
