According to the amended complaint filed by M?TLEY CR?E against artist manager Carl Stubner and his three companies Sanctuary Group, Inc., Sanctuary Artist Management, Inc. and Carl Stubner Productions, Inc., drummer Tommy Lee "recently informed [bassist Nikki] Sixx and [guitarist Mick] Mars, the shareholders of MCI [Motley Crue, Inc.], that he was resigning from the band and his resignation was accepted."

According to a press release issued by M?TLEY CR?E earlier today, the group's amended complaint contains "newly obtained evidence" in its lawsuit against Stubner, consisting of statements from band members Vince Neil, Nikki Sixx and Mick Mars as well as ten sworn declarations from key professionals associated with the band, "demonstrates beyond any question that Stubner was a manager of M?TLEY CR?E and not just the manager of Tommy Lee as he has previously claimed in press releases and legal filings. The newly obtained evidence supports and confirms allegations in the amended complaint filed yesterday in Los Angeles Superior Court that Stubner breached his fiduciary duties to M?TLEY CR?E by orchestrating a scheme for his personal financial gain at the expense and to the detriment of the band."

The press release adds, "Even though he received approximately a million dollars in commissions from M?TLEY CR?E, Stubner used his positions as the band?s manager and the manager of one of the band members to demand a higher commission for himself. The amended complaint contends that his motivation was pure greed. The new evidence also confirms that Stubner demanded tickets from the band that he resold at 'scalper' prices for his own gain."

The lawsuit seeks compensatory damages of more than $20 million for lost earnings and profits resulting from the defendants' actions. The lawsuit also seeks punitive damages because, as claimed in the amended complaint, the defendants' "despicable" actions were undertaken "fraudulently, maliciously and oppressively."

not dead just in a heroin induced coma. Give it time and hopefully things will work out.

[guns_n_motley]

[GeraldFord]

I liked New Tattoo, I think Motley can go on with another drummer.

It's a shame though.

dude Tommy is the most talented guy in that band.  Without him it is absolutely pointless.

[Dr. Blutarsky]

that sucks....lawyers and shady businessmen are the ruination of rock.

[Jizzo]

josh freese in the studio, will hunt on the road

[guns_n_motley]

josh freese in the studio, will hunt on the road

that would be great

[cfcsfc]

Again? ?
God Tommy is a pain in the ass.
I love his drumming, and he's an awesome presence live, but beyond that he is just a whiney brat.
Even in The Dirt you could tell- he was jealouse that Pam was giving their child more attention than him!

Simple solution- get a new drummer and move on. Randy Castillo worked well on New Tattoo, but unfortunatly he passed away. But it did show that Tommy could be replaced.
Glad I got to see the original line up on the Carnival of Sins tour. But now Tommy can fuck off. Enjoy your reality show fame tool.

No- that would be Nikki, The man is a highly underrated musician. Motley always get shit on, but the fact is they're a great Rock N' Roll band.

Not sure motley will go on without all 4 originals, only Vince that be rocking out playing the old 81-83 songs as he currently does.

meh, i disagree.  i saw them a few years ago and Tommy was the only one that stuck out.   Nikki was a great songwriter back in the day, but he hasn't written a hit song since 1991.
