It was such a cringe-inducing show whenever I caught it late at night whenever Archer wasn't on. It was mostly bad, hair metal bands that refused to disappear with dignity still releasing records for their 30th anniversary. This show needed to be put down a while ago.

I'll give Motley Crue some credit for calling it a day & ca$hing out in spectacular fashion. MC know that they suck & that 55+ yr old Crue hasn't been cool or relevant in a long, long time. That "Farewell" paycheck should be pretty good to go out on.

Sorry, have to disagree. While repetitive guests made for some boring viewing, the show did have a lot of guests that were interesting to hear from, and I don't just mean old guys either. It wasn't perfect by any means, but I'd rather have the show than not.

The band cashed out because it was getting harder and harder for them to get together to do anything anyway. I'm sure if they could've done more together, they never would've done the whole big goodbye legal contract signing thing. I liked the band but can't say I LOVED them. Hell, I only owned a dubbed cassette copy of Theater of Pain and a regular cassette copy of Dr. Feelgood. Okay, I actually did like that one a lot. But I picked up the 2009 reissue of their 1998 Greatest Hits album and to be perfectly honest, it really felt like it was the only thing you really needed to own to get the best of what the band had to offer.
