The Motley Crue thread - everything about them discussed here

Damn.  I'm just glad that the original lineup reunited in 2005 and gave us rock fans a few final chances to see our heroes live.  The Crue concerts I attended were some of my all-time favorites.

From Vince Neil...so he's still making up his mind.

January 17, 2012

Q: I've heard that you don't plan on being in Motley Crue forever?

A: Eventually it's time to call it quits. I've been sitting on my boat in the Bahamas for the last month and just thinking about the future. There's a lot of really cool things coming up in my mind, and it might be the time to just kind of bow out. But I haven't made a decision a hundred percent yet. It's just a thought that's been going through my head.

Kia readies male fantasy Super Bowl ad with supermodel - Motley Crue

A babe, a band and a brawler ? Kia hopes those three elements will make its Super Bowl ad stand out from the rest.

The automaker has enlisted supermodel Adriana Lima, rockers M?tley Cr?e and mixed martial arts fighter Chuck Liddell for its 60-second ad for the Kia Optima Limited. The idea is one man's fondest dream.

"As we're dreaming at night, our true desires come out," says Michael Sprague, Kia Motors America head of marketing and communications.

This fellow envisions driving an Optima around a track filled with manly fantasies such as a skimpily-clad Lima, Liddell fighting and M?tley Cr?e onstage doing Kickstart My Heart. Sprague calls it "the ultimate man's dream" yet is quick to add "but it's not offensive to women, either."

Kia wants buzz during the Feb. 5 game, but also before and after, says David Angelo, creative chief at Kia ad agency David & Goliath.

The ad will launch in movie theaters Feb. 3, and Kia also will air 15-second teaser ads on TV beforehand. Kia also will leverage the Twitter and Facebook followings of the ad's stars.

From the press release.

KIA MOTORS DREAMS UP SUPER BOWL COMMERCIAL STARRING SUPERMODEL ADRIANA LIMA, ROCK LEGENDS M?TLEY CR?E AND MMA FIGHTER CHUCK LIDDELL

Created by David&Goliath, ?Drive the Dream? opens with the familiar notes of The Chordettes? ?Mr. Sandman? as a real-life Mr. Sandman enters the bedroom of an unsuspecting young couple who are asleep. After being sprinkled with ?Sweet Dreams? dust, the woman smiles and envisions herself on a horse with a romance novel-like hunk in a beautiful green meadow. Meanwhile, Mr. Sandman accidentally stumbles and spills his entire night?s dust supply on the man, launching an extreme dream sequence that begins with the roaring guitars of M?tley Cr?e?s ?Kickstart My Heart? and Adriana Lima waving a checkered flag as he blasts around a race track at night in a Snow White Pearl Optima Limited with thousands of bikini-clad fans cheering him on from the stands.

As he circles the track with Lima looking on adoringly, the dreaming driver receives nods of approval from the band as bursts of flames and fireworks surround their stage as well as Chuck Liddell, champion bull rider Judd Leffew, and a pair of lumberjacks sawing a massive submarine sandwich.

?M?tley Cr?e had a blast doing the Kia commercial,? said bassist Nikki Sixx. ?A hot model, a fast car, a pro fighter, pyrotechnics and rock n' roll...What's not to love??

Much to the disbelief of Lima and drummer Tommy Lee, the high-octane dream turns into a fairy tale when the husband makes a conscious decision to drive the Optima Limited off the race track and into his wife?s fantasy to win her back from Prince Charming.

From Nikki Sixx:

02/ 3/2012

Andrew Burmon: Are you excited to set up shop in Vegas?

Nikki Sixx: I'm looking forward to it, but -- to be honest -- I don't love Vegas. I'm sober so it doesn't make sense for me. It is hard for me to appreciate. There are so many people there and so many people are drunk. Still, if you get outside of the city, the place gets pretty hip. We played a show outside the city last time around and it was very different. Not everyone was drunk. It seemed a long way from all that.

From an interview with Tommy Lee in this month's missing Music Radar feature page...

"I'm constantly evolving as a musician. Drums isn't my one thing anymore. I love to produce. I love to make tracks, write tracks, produce tracks and I can't sit back as a drummer anymore, I have to have my hands on it and say, 'The guitar should sound like this, the bass should sound like this, this is how the drums should sound, the vocals would be really cool like this, this melody is not so good, let's try this.' I just have to touch all of it now. I just know too much!"

VINCE NEIL EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW FOR HIS NEW GIRLS STRIP CLUB

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POexzcGjjWU

Here is what he says in the interview:

VINCE NEIL On M?TLEY CR?E: 'We Don't Have To All Hang Out Together To Be A Band' - Mar. 25, 2012

On March 16, Sally Steele of Vegas Rocks! magazine conducted an interview with M?TLEY CR?E singer Vince Neil at the "soft opening" of his new strip club Girls, Girls, Girls. You can now watch the chat below. A few excerpts follow.

On why he decided to open his own strip club:

Vince: "I've been going to strip clubs my whole adult life, I think. With the song 'Girls Girls Girls', we got inducted in 2007 into the Stripper Fall Of Fame. So it was just something that has been coming for a long time."

"I love new businesses. It's just another cool thing, and I think it's great for Las Vegas. It's something different in a city that has everything. . . I literally live, like, five minutes from [the club]. So I'm gonna be here a lot when I'm in town and come here and hang out. It's a great place to hang."

On M?TLEY CR?E guitarist Mick Mars' comment in a recent Vegas Rocks! interview that Vince has "distanced" himself from the rest of the band:

Vince: "Well, I mean, I live in another state than the guys do. Yeah, I guess I am, but it doesn't really matter. It's like, what happens on stage, that's what really counts for M?TLEY CR?E. We don't have to all hang out together to be a band; it's what you do on stage [that's important]. So I think it maybe feels a little distant just because, like, they go do and some stuff in L.A., obviously it's harder for me to get there than it is for them to just drive down the street. So I guess just, really, [not] living out of the same city [makes a big difference]."

On the rumors that he doesn't get along with his M?TLEY CR?E bandmates, which is why they travel on separate buses:

Vince: "We go on separate buses because we can afford it. People don't understand that. We try to travel comfortably. Nikki [Sixx, bass] has his kids, and Tommy [Lee, drums] has his kids? You can't do that on the same bus. If you can afford to to do it, why woud you wanna live like animals if you can just be nice and comfortable? We've been doing this for 31 years. We don't have to do it like a band that just started out anymore. . . That's all just rumors. I don't know why people say that. Because we're, like, the best of friends. It's just dumb rumors, and people just talk without really knowing anything."

On whether he has any regrets:

Vince: "No. Because everything that's happened to me, I try to learn from those mistakes and make my life better. You can't learn anything until you actually fail at something. So, no, no regrets at all."

On whether he is ever going to have any more kids:

Vince: "No. I just became a grandfather last October. [My son Neil Wharton] had a little boy named Trace."

This is the most dangerous thing I've ever heard of 

[westcoast_junkie]

Yes. Help! But based on seeing Motley live last week, I say maybe he make a better career as a pilot than a singer

And in that interview he state he don't have any regrets? Talk about being a narcissist.....
