Mötley Crüe Returns to Tour and the Generational Legacy Moment
At 2:25:30 · chapter starts 2:22:10
The episode closes on a deeply satisfying note. Tommy talks about the upcoming Mötley Crüe Return of the Carnival of Sins tour starting July 17th, which follows a deliberately taken year-plus hiatus — the first proper break since 2016. After two and a half years of continuous touring with Def Leppard, they earned it. But Tommy is more pumped now than ever, and he explains exactly why with a moment of genuine emotional depth: when you look out from the drum kit and see that original fans have now brought their children, and those children are on their parents' shoulders doing the devil horns and air drumming and shouting along to the chorus — that's something that can only happen through the accumulation of time. A new generation experiencing this music for the first time while standing on the shoulders of the generation that made it matter. 'That doesn't get old, man,' Tommy says. Joe agrees: that's having an amazing life.
Tommy Lee said the joint Mötley Crüe and Def Leppard stadium world tour lasted two and a half years before they finally took a break.
