Ahead of their Download Festival headline slot, we present part 2 of our article answering the question.. What If Motley Crue were girls?
Lizzy Neil
Are you a big Motley Crue fan?
Motley Crue’s music is great but they are legends it’s all about the sex, drugs and outrageous fashion for me.
When did you first discover Motley and what is it that you like about them?
I think I became aware of their antics before their music through the media when I was a kid.
Did you know much about their history?
A little, I knew they hailed from L.A, had massive success in the eighties and got though large quantities of groupies and cocaine!
What did you think when you were approached to be part of the shoot?
Wicked! I was really excited to be modelling for Dijana and idea for the shoot is great.
Who is your favourite member of the band and why?
Before the shoot it was Tommy-Lee but after a little research it’s definitely Vince now. Just because he’s the front man and he’s sexy.
Did you get to choose who you were for the shoot?
It was suggested I be Vince so I was happy with that.
What was the shoot like?
It was great fun, the hair and make-up was hilarious as we were transformed back into the eighties. And sliding around in a bath full of girls has to be recommended – I’m sure the Motley boys have tried that before!
How did you get into “character” for the shoot?
I’d been listening to their music and reading up about Motley Crue, but just thinking Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I rock! Seemed to work.
Do you have a particularly favourite Motley Crue story?
The band being stopped at airport customs for wearing full studded and spiked stage gear. Oh and Vince had a suitcase full of porn on him too.
Do you have any message for Motley Crue?
We love you guy’s, keep rockin’!

Are you a big Motley Crue fan?
Yeah I am quite a big fan.
When did you first discover Motley and what is it that you like about them?
I’ve always sort of know who they are. Their just one of those bands you KNOW even though you might not have been there and even if you’ve never heard any songs you just KNOW them. I first started listening to them properly when I started my tattoo work. My boss loved them so they’d be on all the time, great to tattoo to but I don’t think the clients like my screeching along haha. I loved them because they were so catchy and up beat. Always made you feel good.
Did you know much about their history?
Not really until I got “The Dirt” which I’ve read over and over.
What did you think when you were approached to be part of the shoot?
I’ve known Vicki Lee for quite awhile, so when she said they were a girl down I was there!
Who is your favourite member of the band and why?
Oh its gotta be Mick, and that’s not just ‘coz I got to be him! I think he’s a great guitar player and he just makes Motleys music what it is!
Did you get to choose who you were for the shoot?
No I was the last one on board, but I didn’t mind, Mick’s cool as hell!
What was the shoot like?
So much fun, we were really late as all four of us girls were in one car and no one had a clue where we were going, D saved us though with her white van man! Was funny messin’ about doing the bathroom shot too, although we didn’t exactly fit in the bath!
How did you get into “character” for the shoot?
If you know anything about Motley then you know what they were like! Wasn’t to hard to imagine the madness they got up too!
Do you have a particularly favourite Motley Crue story?
I loved the one about Metallica playing a show and slagging them off not knowing they were in the bar. So, so funny
Do you have any message for Motley Crue?
Yeah, if they need stand ins they know where we are!);
