Well, if you invite Motley Crue to perform on your live New
Years Eve show there's a high chance that at some point **Vince
Neil is going to turn to Tommy Lee** and say "Happy fucking new year, Tommy!".
And that's what happened when the Crue performed on a live New Years edition of Jay Leno's Tonight show on NBC last week. Needless to say US media regulator the FCC has received a number of complaints and is now investigating.
Neither
NBC or the band have officially commented on the incident, though an unnamed spokesman for the band played the whole thing down, saying it was an off-the-cuff remark not intended to offend, or to test TV regulators.
Technically speaking the FCC is less strict about swearing between 10pm and 6am - but word is those who care about these things will argue that on New Year's Eve those easily offended children are likely to be viewing TV later than normal.
