Re: What Is The Significance Of Being
If you're referring to frontmen calling their audience motherfuckers - ie Vince Neil - then it's a term of endearment. It would sound out of place if a metal frontman said "thank you dearly. You're all wonderful.."
It's appropriate language for foul-mouthed frontmen who want to sound tough and cool, although I found Vince Neil really overdid it at the Crue show I went to and it sounded stupid and childish coming from a 40 year old. I prefer bands who don't use 'fuck' for every second word.
It may be that in some far-flung parts of the world it accurately describes their audience members...
Otherwise in any other circumstance it would be intended as an insult.

Re: What Is The Significance Of Being
I just saw the Crue Wednesday night and they do certainly swear a lot. I don't really care but some of the kids/parents there were surprised. Of course bringing your nine year daughter to a Motley concert isn't very smart anyways. The Crue doesn't "swear cool" like Ozzy or Metallica.

Re: What Is The Significance Of Being
Given the language and the theatrics of the current Motley Crue shows (I assume they are still doing that carnival of sins thing) it would not be a good idea to take a child to their show.
When I saw KISS in Melbourne in 2004 they had a support act called Machine Gun Fellatio - a semi-popular Aussie band. I knew nothing about them apart from their name. Their music was extremely boring. I actually taped them and to this day I have never listened to it. There was however one song sung by a female band member called 'Let me be your (dirty fucking whore)' which was accapella. It started off as a cabaret type thing and then became jaw-droppingly hysterical as I listened to the lyrics. However this would have been much to the dismay and disgust of the audience who had brought their kids along to a family-friendly KISS concert. The woman also took off all her clothes on stage. I remember reading in the news that there were complaints. I am guessing they won't be supporting KISS on their next 'Psycho Senior Citizens Circus' tour.

Re: What Is The Significance Of Being
almost all of my bootlegs has "Come on you Motherfuckers..SCREAM"""..except for a few other boots i can't list for good reasons!!!
OR do the(bands) think we(the fans)are just a bunch of drug addicts/alcoholics that goes to the shows and DON'T do anything(no headbanging or stagediving) until they hear a bootleg of the show that they were at and starts to wonder why are they calling us Motherfuckers??
