During the Inglewood stadium tour stop on Saturday, Mötley Crüe was awful, Def Leppard was triumphant, Poison was joyous, Joan Jett was legendary and Classless Act was ascendant.
The band seemed to be overcompensating on several fronts in a desperate attempt to disguise a multitude of shortcomings and sins. The limber and gyrating backup singers/dancers/strippers felt like a grasp at long-faded youth. The fun, irreverent and rollicking “Don’t Go Away Mad ” was none of those things — with the band barely seeming to be playing the same song. The swaggering “Looks That Kill” that should have been an easy layup for the band was a struggle.
Every part of the stadium show was big, bold, loud and extremely well produced — just like their music.and Vivian Campbell stepping to the fore of the stage to trade licks reminded everybody why they came out for a 7-hour marathon of a show; A golden gong dropping from the rafters so drummer Rick Savage could whack it one time at the end of “Hysteria”; Polaroids of the band members through the years filling the big screens like a high school yearbook during “Photograph.
Guitarist C.C. DeVille’s performance carried the band, which relied heavily on his guitar pyrotechnics during a set that revealed the thinness of its catalog. I wanted to hear more from their “Look What the Cat Dragged In” debut that rocketed them to MTV stardom. The band played the stadium gig with boundless energy, as if the house was full even if the ushers outnumbered the audience as the crowd streamed in throughout its opening set. Rapper DMC of Run DMC made a surprise appearance on “Storm Before the Calm,” signaling a potential upcoming collaboration.
