The Motley Crue thread - everything about them discussed here

[norway]

It's because none of their albums sounded the same people have so many version of "the best". Listen to them all and find out for yourself.
New Tattoo is more "oldschool" in riffs and hooks, bluesy.

They have a record called "greatest hits" where you get 2 extra songs (bitter pill and enslaved) which is a very good collection.

most magazine interviews usually are conducted a couple months before...so I wouldnt think it is accurate now...I think tommys back for 2 reasons

1. Vince said he was..vince also said the album would be called "the dirt"
2. the albums called "the dirt" why would you make an album like that without tommy?

That post should be the closing one in this topic, well written..The Dirt without Tommy..NO

Have you read The Dirt? Tommy's chapters were the most dull, boring and self pittying of all. If his parts were taken out of the book I'd be happy.

I meant the album -  The dirt..Which is based on the book..And the book is based on M?tley?s history..And..I think Tommy Lee have a little part in M?tleys history  ..His chapters wasn?t dull..At least not to me. And to take out tommy?s chapters whould just be stupid...

I knew what you meant. Did I say take his chapters out of the book? Way to take things too literally. I was saying that if his chapters weren't there I wouldnt miss them at all.
If the album is going to deal with each members stories, then the Lee ones will be shit. 'I need attention; poor me'.
Vince had a rough childhood and of course the loss of his daughter, Mick has his health problems, Nikki has his whole story. Tommy just moans about how he doesn't like the silent treatment and how Pam deserved what he did because she was giving his child more attention than him.

I agree with you at some point, the pamela thing was pretty lame, the attention bullshit..And the fact that he leaved out nearly everything of his marriage to Heather ( where he treated her worse than pamela ) Not that i like to read about women getting hit, but it would still be intresting to read. But Tommy had some good stories to tell, i liked the "cum across the room thing " And some stories about his former girlfriend and so on..And Tommy also wrote to me, the best chapter in the book (Part 6,  Chapter 3 ) If there was some pages I wouldn?t miss..It would be Micks. But you can?t say that, M?tley is Nikki, Vince, Tommy and Mick..Period. An album called The Dirt should contain all of the original 4.

holy crap! look at this news guys!

wow....Thats great news

[gnrlies247]

Thats awesome news

[axl in lafayette]

Robin Leach reports on his blog "Vegas Luxe Life with Robin Leach" that M?TLEY CR?E ? Vince Neil, Tommy Lee, Nikki Sixx and Mick Mars ? signed a $100-million-plus mega-deal last week to produce three albums and perform three world tours for the giant Live Nation entertainment conglomerate.

"We'll actually have been together for 37 years by the time it comes to an end," Vince told Leach.

Vince, who will go off next month on a solo tour of Canada, said that the first of the three long world tours starts this July. The new contract runs for the next 10 years and includes 169 concert dates on the first global journey.

CR?E is well into the creation of its new studio album, which will be titled "The Dirt" and based on the band's 2001 memoir of the same name. Bassist Nikki Sixx wrote in a new online update, "10 songs done for the new CR?E album so far, I'm very proud of the songs. I think we're onto some of the better songs we've had in years...Time will tell, of course. A couple of song titles on the CR?E album are called 'A Scar On Hollywood Boulevard' and 'The Saints Of Los Angeles'... The chemistry in the studio as we're writing is unbelievable."

Nikki Sixx will be featured on a new Fuse TV program called "Live through This" which documents music stars that have made a comeback. The show will air on Thursday, February 21 at 10 p.m.

The Pulse of Radio reported last month that the rumored tour by Sixx's other band, SIXX: A.M., is starting to take shape. The M?TLEY CR?E bassist and his new act will likely hit the road in late April and early May for a run through 10 or 12 major U.S. markets. No word yet on exact dates or venues.

Sixx wrote and recorded the album with longtime friends James Michael and D.J. Ashba and has resisted the idea of turning the project into an actual band. But Sixx told The Pulse of Radio that may all be changing. "It seems that people have been able to really feel that it's a band, they really feel that it's something that they can get behind and they can go, 'You know, I really support these guys in what they're doing,'" he said. "It's interesting 'cause we never planned on playing live together, and then we played live together, and that went off so well that I think we accidentally started a band."

Rumors initially surfaced that SIXX: A.M. would tour in February, although Sixx shot down those reports. The project has only played live once so far, last fall at a Utah radio festival.

The SIXX: A.M. album serves as the "soundtrack" to Sixx's recently published book, "The Heroin Diaries: A Year in the Life of a Shattered Rock Star".

Twenty-five percent of Sixx's royalties from "The Heroin Diaries" goes to Running Wild In The Night, a charity he established in conjunction with Covenant House to rescue homeless and runaway youth from the streets.

Oh my fucking god this is great news.

So new music soon

[D]

Considering Vince and Mick were pretty  much bankrupt,t hat is awesome for them to get that much cash

new album is gonna be amazing!

[w.axl.rose]

hell yeah. last time i saw them live was i think 2 years ago at irvine and they fucking rocked... even though vince was running out or breath during a few songs

[faldor]

You would think so, and I would think so.  But Motley Crue was big in the 80's before GNR came along.  GNR surpassed them in the early 90's but Tommy Lee, Nikki Sixx, and Vince Neil are all still household names and have returned to the limelight in the past few years.  Right now, the name Guns N' Roses can sell, but as for its members, Axl Rose is the only known player.  I'm not trying to start anything, I'm a huge fan of the new band and want and know they can succeed, BUT they've got to release something to be taken seriously.  That's the only reason I could see why Motley Crue deserves $100 million more than GNR.

Motley Crue hasn't signed shit!

would've been cool though if they could repeat the success of Dr Feelgood and multiply it by Sixx Am :headbnager:

That is far from the truth.

At one time they were both almost bankrupt, especially Mick. His ex wife took him for almost everything. Vince through al his divorces and his daughters bills, some bad business deals etc.


There was a news article about Nikki being at a bandmembers bankruptcy hearing.

I remember an old buddy of mine years ago telling me about his great uncle. Whenever the subject of women/marriage came up he'd always look at my friend and say "Stick a little something on the side" (pointing his hand off to the side while saying it.) Meaning to hide some money away for yourself that she doesn't know about.

nikki said any rumours are false in a bulletin in the early hours.
