Steve-O Tells His Mötley Crüe Story - The Joe Rogan Experience

Hello freak bitches. I'm going to bring you to the concert. We can sit in the Dabisco skybox. And I tell my dad, dad watching Motley Crew through a plate glass window sucks. And he says, and he says, all right, well, you know, basically fuck you. You know, he's like, if you can do better, then we'll do better. You know, then we'll use your tickets if you can, you know, if I'm fucking, I was 13, you know. Right. So the day before the concert, I see on the news, they're like complaining. They're like, these fucking asshole rock stars come to our city and fuck me fuck around like one way or another. And I'm like, dude, they're here. The fucking what are you saying? I'm too. Castle rock stars. Yeah. They were. They made the news for some like bullshit. Forget what it was. I think they started some kind of fire or something crazy, but they were on the news, you know, and they're like, they were complaining. These fucking guys come here. Okay. And so I'm like, they're in Toronto. They're in the city now and the fucking concerts tomorrow. So I deduced that they're in a hotel and I'm going to fucking find these guys. I'm going to fucking. You're 13. And so I go fucking running to my room, right? It's like right away. I'm thinking I know all the guys and I know their real names like Vince Neil is Vincent Wharton. Right. Like I know all their names and I'm like, I got to fucking check into the hotel as like Frank Carlton, Ferrano. Right. That's Nikki six. They're not going to use their real names and I was like, they're going to check into the hotel under the name of their manager. Right. And I just guess you just knew it. Go right into my room and I fucking check on my little cassette fucking album sleeve and check everyone. It says Doc McGee, which is their manager at Doc McGee. So I'm like, that's the fucking one. I go run into the phone book and, you know, I fucking open it up to hotel like the yellow pages and I just straight start calling every fucking hotel in the yellow pages. And when the hotel answers, I'm like, will you please put me through to Mr. Doc McGee's room. Right. And the fucking show was like a Sunday and such a Saturday. My dad's like watching college football. Right. And I'm sitting there on the phone calling every fucking hotel in Toronto, just going down the list, not even calling the ones with the ads, like literally just sticking to the list. So I don't miss one. And my mom's pissed because there was no call waiting. She's like, you're tying up the house phone. My dad, all my dad ever wanted was for me to show initiative and to be like motivated for something, you know? And so my dad's like super stoked. I'm on fire. I'm telling my mom, mom, I'm calling Molly Crew fucking. And my dad like calls off my mom, you know, like, honey, like let him do his thing. And I fucking sat there for probably two or three hours just calling hotels and I get they put me through to this room. There was one like false alarm, you know, but then the second McGee's room that I got through to the guy picks up the phone and I said, hello, is that Doc McGee? And he says, no, this is Doc's brother, Scott. And I'm like, as in Molly Crew. And he says, he says, how did you get this number? And I told him I fuck. I just called every fucking hotel in the yellow. I just told him. I said, I just called every hotel in the yellow pages. Is the crew there? And and he goes, he goes, like, hold on a second. Are you fucking kidding me? That's that's awesome. And he says, he goes, I'm so impressed by what you did. He says, he says, how would you like if I put you on the list for backstage passes and I can I can give you tickets in the fifth row. So he gave me two tickets in the fifth row. Fucking backstage passes. My dad, I went fucking chauffeur. My dad's chauffeur to the fucking Maple Leaf Gardens. We've gotten the fucking press line to the fucking fifth row. Fifth row. That's insane. That's actually better than the first row. You're like a little back. I did. It was the dopest. I was fucking headbanging like a mod to get myself hella brain damage that I did. And I was the last picture from the day. Did like, how are you not showing me with fucking Nikki six and Tommy Lee? Is that your picture? No, no, no, no. Just Google Steve and fucking Steve and Motley crew, man. When you were 13. I was 13. I was fucking 13. We went up to the skybox and I put my ghetto blaster. I put my ghetto blaster next to the little speaker deal. There's me and Tommy Lee. That's hilarious. Yeah. And then, how old is Tommy Lee? That's crazy. Me and Nikki six right there. You were like a baby. I was a fucking baby. That is so weird. Yeah. And you know, I'm standing next to these guys and I'm like, I don't have fucking, you know, like shit to talk to them about. But the fact that I was standing next to those guys and I was like, you know what? I'm here backstage with my fucking heroes. And it's because I fucking decided. So, you know, like there's something about that that gave me this, this, this mentality. And then you see the top left right there. Check it out. Fuck all these years later. When they announced that they're back together and going on their Carnival of Sins tour, Tommy Lee asked me to do something fucked up and introduce them. Do you have full circle? Wow. Yeah, dude. That's crazy. Dude, it was the dopest. Who's the dude on the far right? That's McMarr's. With the hat? Yeah. He's got like a degenerative bone disease. What's going on with them? Yeah. Like I forget what it's called, but yeah, he's like, they got to like have him come out when the lights aren't on. Oh, no. I don't know. Maybe he's doing better. He limps. Yeah, he's in rough shape. Poor guy. But yeah, I love that story, man. And my dad, you know, it was like my kind of how my dad is. That's awesome, man. Yeah, dude. That's a great story. Well, thank you, man. It really made me into a monster in some regard because like, I think that at that young age, it's like, you know, I really can fucking, you know, if you just, and I've always said like, doesn't matter what people want, it just matters how bad they really fucking want it. I mean, of course, like it definitely matters what they want. You want to play basketball against, of course, within some kind of, within some kind of, I want it. Right. Of course, within some fucking parameters of reality. Right. Right. But it's a factor. What do they say? They say that that luck is when preparation meets opportunity. Yes. Which is dope. I love that. I love that fucking thing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
