Location: Mt Clemens, MI USA | When Motley Crue came out I loved them. They were hungry and passionate and real. After the second album they sold out and have been horrible and only gotten worse ever since. They have been horrible for almost twenty years now. I can’t stand them. I too was irritated at having that hack Six in the ad….”A legend among bassists!” I think when they broke, the producers didn’t even want him on the albums because he could hardly play. Thus Six to me is an insult to Ovation and that kind of pisses me off as an Ovation fan. Anyway, the ad has always bugged the hell out of me. |
