Motley Crue Push Release Date, Add Track
Monday, May 12, 2008 at 01:07PM Here's the press release I just received from the Motley Crue camp:
"Inspired by the energy and experience of their performance with their Crüe Fest cohorts Buckcherry, Papa Roach, Sixx:A.M. and Trapt at the press conference to announce their upcoming summer tour, Mötley Crüe extended the production for their upcoming CD, returning to the studio this week to record one more track for their first studio album in over a decade, Saints of Los Angeles. The album, which has a new release date of June 24th, follows the story of the band’s NY Times best-selling memoir The Dirt, a no-holds-barred tell-all that features every gritty detail of the group’s exploits as one of the world’s biggest rock bands.
Says Sixx, 'Before our performance at the press conference, we were firing on all cylinders at sound check just jamming out, and that’s when the new idea came. We quickly laid it down and went to the studio to record it, and liked it so much we pushed back the release one week so that we could get it onto the album – it now has 13 tracks. It’s the ultimate song to end the record with and begin the new chapter of our career.'"
I suppose I can deal with another week of waiting. Sigh.

erm... according to Amazon, New Tattoo came out in 2000. Oh, Randy doesn't count anymore ?
I have trouble believing this - they needed to add another song, so they added a week ? I think there's more to it. But, then, I am jaded on anything Motley (i.e. Nikki) wants to tell me.
I'm looking forward to the new record and, yes, it will be the first new record by the ORIGINAL lineup but New Tattoo (2000) was a solid album and they shouldn't ignore it. It's all probably down to making sure the press release was in line with Tommy's fragile ego.
As long as the album is good and the tour happens, I'm happy.
