I was a Crue fan back in the day but they just didn't age well for me. The movie was great, and it was a neat little revival. I'm pretty sure Covid killed the momentum and all the kids that may have gone have moved on to something else. I'm not sure if Vince Neil could ever sing live, but he certainly can't now. That along with the promise of no more tours and permanent retirement really turned me off of Motley Crue. My uneducated 5 drinks in prediction is the tour will be a disaster and cancel half way through because of poor attendance.

This is so painfully obviously the next smart choice (Van Halen). I'd like to see JJP do it because it needs to be over the top. I'm shocked Stern didn't jump on Queen while that iron was hot. I think that would have been a good fit. It may be too late, If Ozzy could use part of the Sabbath catalog that would be amazing. I'm not sure there are a ton of others that would work in my opinion. Pink Floyd is too mellow. You need high energy. Rush is a tough one, maybe one of the boutique Primus/Beatles runs would work but there are as many people that I know that are obsessed with Rush that can't stand them. I think we need another 5-10 years before the 90's bands would work, purely from a financial standpoint.

It's probably a licensing nightmare, but I would like to see more than one band. Following Dio's career through Black Sabbath, into solo group, then maybe some oddball stuff like his cameo on Tenacious D. Even a couple Dio covers would be cool to change it up. The covers album has some great stuff.
