Motley Crue Tease Special Show

The Bowery Ballroom is a concert venue in Manhattan. Looks like Motley Crue will play a special show there in a few days. My guess is this is a warmup for their summer dates. The Bowery holds less than 600 people so this would be a special show. Promoting 1981 seems to point to playing all of Too Fast For Love, right?

Motley Crue, 'Dogs of War' -- New Song Released

Well, the new Motley Crue track "Dogs of War" is here. It's about what I expected. No, it doesn't sound like Dr. Feelgood-era Crue. Maybe more like Brides of Destruction?

I could do without Vince Neil repeating the word "bastard" so many times, but whatever. I don't hear a lot of John 5 fancy guitar work here. The drums are definitely Tommy Lee.

I guess my reaction is mixed. I need to listen a few more times. I'm sure it will grow on me as most songs do in time. Thoughts?

Social announcement:

And There It Is: Motley Crue Announce 'Dogs Of War'

The other day I posted that Nikki Sixx was teasing something... now we know it is a new song from Motley Crue called "Dogs of War." The track is out this Friday.

Several months back, Motley Crue did a secret show and billed themselves as the Dogs of War, so it isn't a surprise to learn we are getting a track from that name as well. Friday will be interesting.

Nikki Sixx Teases... Something

Is new Motley Crue music on the way? More tour dates?

Then this was apparently on YouTube for a hot minute last night... but I can't find any reference to it now. I guess this is how we get music news these days. Through cryptic messages and "mistake" posts.

I Sure Hope Not - Motley Edition

I saw Nikki Sixx's online comments about upcoming Motley Crue music the other day and I sort of wrote it off as sarcasm. Media keeps picking up the Tweet (X?) below and taking it for gospel so maybe it really is true. (Insert shrug emoji here for good measure).

I know Beyonce just released a country album and good for her I suppose. That said, the last thing I want (or need!) is a Motley Crue country-hip hop fusion album. Just give me some new rock and call it a day!

New Crüe coming up right around the corner. People who have heard it say it’s a powerful cross between country and hip hop.

Nikki Sixx Teases New Motley Crue Music, Setlists

Ok, I'll believe it when I see it, but Motley Crue bassist Nikki Sixx just posted that he is working on new music for the band. Plus, he's been working with Tommy Lee to change up the setlist for shows this summer. I would welcome that for sure because hearing the same songs at every concert gets old.

The band has a deep enough catalog to mix things up. The top song I would want Motley to drop from their live set is "Kickstart My Heart." I know that isn't going to happen, but I just can't listen to that one anymore. It's like me with AC/DC and "Back in Black." Too much of a good thing ruins it after a point.

Great week for Crüe- worked on new songs with 5 for the summer shows-Me and Tommy came up with a cool setlist and the stage set is moving along nicely. Lots of planning for new music release and boatloads of press being confirmed. I have this say,this was a Good Friday.

So This Happened: New Motley Crue Dolls

Super7 just released Shout At The Devil era Motley Crue dolls. I know quite a few of you collect these figurines. They are honestly pretty cool but the Nikki Sixx doll looks odd to me.

The set of four is $80 and honestly I'm surprised they are not sold-out as of this writing. Check out the figurines (non-sponsored link).
