With their “LONG LEGS AND BURGUNDY LIPS*” at the Garden Amp Theatre in Orange County, CA, Saturday, January 25, 2025
According to Wikipedia, “Motley Fool is a private financial and investing advice company based in Alexandria, Virginia. Mötley Crüe is an American heavy metal band formed in Hollywood, California, in 1981 by bassist Nikki Sixx and drummer Tommy Lee, with guitarist Mick Mars and lead vocalist Vince Neil joining right after.”

Then there’s RED HOT. An all-female Mötley Crüe Tribute band based out of Long Island, New York who has been around for the last 3 years continuing the legacy of the Original Mötley Crüe band. RED HOT has an array of résumé and have performed in many popular music venues across the U.S. including The World Famous Whisky A Go Go in Los Angeles, The Garden Amp Theater in Orange County, CA and The TR!P in Santa Monica, CA
I have had the pleasure of photographing these ladies in the past as their crew photographer. But this time, not only was I part of their crew as their crew photographer documenting and capturing their set once again, but also finally got to cover their show at The Garden Amp Theatre this year (my first time at this great venue) for SLR MAGAZINE as Media photographer.
As one fan shouted during their concert at The Garden Amp Theatre, “You ladies are so much better than The Original Crüe” Everyone of course is entitled to their opinion, but I must say, they are so much fun to watch live on stage. Lot of head banging. Lots of jumping. Lot of kickass high energy on stage. Lots of fan interaction. And they can actually sing and not just “(PRIMAL) SCREAM AND SHOUT*” These ladies Rock hard and will “KICKSTART YOUR HEART*:” and can definitely outperform a lot of the Hard Rock Bands of this new generation (and old generation as well).
RED HOT consists of the following badass ladies:
* Valerie Rose as Vince Neil. Lead Vocalist and Keytarist.
* Irene Eliopoulos as Nikki Sixx – Bassist
* Heather Faulkner as Mick Mars – Guitarist
* Gina Ilasi aka “Gee Lee” as Tommy Lee – Drummer
Together they are RED HOT.
As written on their website:
“Red Hot is the most engaging high energy All-Female tribute to Mötley Crüe . Based out of Long Island, New York they have performed nationally at some of the most iconic venues in the United States. They are as authentic sounding to the original there is. They have already established a following from east to west coast, and have showcased on the world famous Whisky A Go Go stage, Daryl’s House, and Nation-Wide Festivals to name a few.
For the last 3 years, Red Hot has been creating a buzz amongst Tribute Band fans and concert goers with their full throttle stage presence and spot on renditions of classic Crue songs; Dr. Feelgood, Kickstart My Heart, Home Sweet Home, Shout at the Devil, and so many more. Their live shows are truly an experience not to be missed-catch them when you can.”
If you love the band Mötley Crüe , then you will definitely love RED HOT. If you want to invest your money on memories and not just get advise from a financial investor such as The Motley Fool on where you should put your money, then invest your money on RED HOT because the memories are priceless.
FOLLOW RED HOT and the members for more “(Dr.) Feelgood” music and get electrified and “Live Wire(d)”
