Vince Neil Shares New Music Update

Progress apparently continues on new Motley Crue music for The Dirt movie. Here's Vince with producer Bob Rock. The duo worked on two songs together yesterday. The fact that Bob Rock is involved means this is a big budget deal and Motley is prepared to splash out with these new tunes. Bring it I say!

I so fucking hope this rocks but they haven't made a solid tune since SOLA, so idk what to think, tbh.

BK, I hope you can deal with the fact you and I agree here, completely!

SOLA actually rivals many of their previous classic tunes. Whenever I hear it I get misty eyed over the notion of what the album, from which SOLA was the title track, could have been had the other tunes on it rivaled said title track ... THAT would have been KILLER!

Still, I hold out hope as you do, they will deliver something equally mid blowing!

I thought SOLA was their best since Dr Feelgood (with the exception of the 94 album which I think really stands on its own). Has some hidden gems in there. But the few songs they've released since SOLA haven't been that great. That "Sex" song was completely pointless and "All Bad Things" was just okay at best. I'm looking forward to the new songs though, it sounds like the whole band was involved in the process, and if Bob Rock is involved you know there is going to be some killer production to it.

Not only that, but Bob Rock helps, not just with the sound but is known to draw out of his performers better songwriting, even if he has to ghost write it himself.

Aside from myself, is anyone else wondering why Crüe even needs to write new songs for the movie? I did see another BBG! Commentor a few weeks back also ask the question.

The obvious answer is the project needed SOMETHING of a guarantee for a little more sizzle since it’s starless and low budget. Still, you NEVER know, this movie could surprise everyone.

It’s either gonna be successful and taken seriously as a legit movie on it’s merits OR achieve cult classic status as a laugh fest a la “This Is Spinal Tap”, except unintentionally so.

Asking why Nikki Sixx would want more $ is like asking why we want oxygen.

As I posited a week or so ago, it will be so they can sell a soundtrack that is basically another greatest hits album, albeit with some new songs.

Like Spinal Tap? Even unintentionally, Metalboy!? More like Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park!!! But without the band playing themselves.

The two topics are clearly related. Recall how Sixx was talking this movie up when it was still in development with the major players. Then, as it got passed around more times than a joint at a Dave Matthews concerts (okay, maybe not that much), the talk shifted to the music, the new tunes that are so slamming. Methinks that is called "creative realignment." And I have always wondered what they are getting--in terms of profits--from this movie. I suspect there was more in play when it might have gone to a major with a wide release. So now, again, Sixx turns his attention to a stream that they completely control: music.

I'd love to be wrong about all this. Truly.
