MÖTLEY CRÜE Fans Petition To Bring Band To Winnipeg, Calgary And Edmonton

December 14, 2004

The Canadian Press is reporting that MÖTLEY CRÜE fans in Winnipeg, Edmonton and Calgary have started an aggressive campaign to convince the recently reunited band to spend some time in their neck of the woods in the new year. The 1980s big-hair group announced a slew of 2005 concert dates earlier this month but only two in Canada — Feb. 23 in Toronto and Feb. 27 in Ottawa.

"We feel that MÖTLEY CRÜE should not be skipping over almost all of Canada, for there are thousands of MÖTLEY CRÜE fans here that have been patiently waiting for this tour for years," reads the online petition started by Winnipeg resident Krista Blahut.

As of midday Tuesday, more than 650 people had signed.

"We gatsa get some CRÜE," wrote John McHenry when he added his name to the list.

"Please, please at least consider this," wrote another enthusiast, Jillian Clapham.

Lochlin Cross, program director at Winnipeg's Power97, said the station's listeners are rabid fans of the band, which includes bad boy drummer Tommy Lee and bassist Nikki Sixx.

"We refuse to let this band skip our city," said Cross. "A band like MÖTLEY CRÜE is going to make an emotional connection for a lot of people." Read more.
