The last band on my “Top Three” list is Motley Crue. I’ve been a fan ever since I heard “Shout” and have seen them live 17 times (last show 8/1/2015). I had an opportunity to meet Nikki Sixx at Tattoo the Earth on August 3, 2002. He was extremely nice. You can read all about it and see lots of pictures here.
On October 31, 2004, my friends and I attended a book signing for Tommyland. This of course, allowed us to meet Tommy Lee. You can read about that and see pictures here.
