The band paid 1 million to play

Mötley Crüe is being sued for $30 million in harmful conduct over the opening act, The Raskins, that accompanied the band in 2014.

The band alleges that Mötley Crüe forced them to start playing before the gates opened at some shows, that their equipment was turned off or tampered with during performances, that they were denied backstage access, and that they were not allowed to sell merchandise at the shows.

The most outrageous allegation is that during an opening show in Connecticut, Mötley Crüe came on stage wearing monkey masks and sprayed urine on the band with water pistols.

The Raskins also claim they paid $1 million to accompany the band on tour.

Mötley Crüe has not commented on the allegations.
