‘80s Flashback, Episode 4: Motley Crüe Metal Festival

Gross question: have you ever burped something back up that you’d swallowed a long time ago? Another gross question: did you enjoy the act of eating it again?

Sorry about that. But with all the decades-old pre-digested vittles re-entering the scene as of late, the answer might be yes, and yes.

Joining the late trend of big-haired metal rebellion making a fashionably “rad” comeback, Motley Crüe has announced their establishment of Crüe Fest, a heavy metal festival created after the 12-years-running Ozzfest, NME reported Wednesday. The 41-date festival will run from July 1 to August 31, boasting the blood-hungry likes of Buckcherry, Papa Roach, Trapt, Nikki Sixx’s side-project Sixx:A.M. and, of course, the four original members of the Crüe itself. Bands have dubbed it “the loudest show on Earth.”

“Hopefully it'll be like Ozzfest and carry on for years,” drummer Tommy Lee said, while getting another tattoo and eating a guy.

With a roster like this, and a band promoting an album called The Heroin Diaries, we’ll see about this whole “years” thing.

The festival supports the release of the band’s ninth studio album, Saints of Los Angeles, due out July 17.
