New Motley Crue Music Is Coming

A couple days ago, Nikki Sixx confirmed that he is working on new music with the rest of Motley Crue - and we will get new tracks in 2024. It isn't exactly clear if the band will be releasing a full album or just a few tracks here and there. Regardless I am ready for it!

Yes @MotleyCrue will be releasing new music is 2024 and separately yes I am working with @RobMinkoff developing a new music related animation project. Good times ahead.

Motley Crue Announces Summerfest Appearance

Summerfest takes place every June in Milwaukee, WI. Tomorrow is Halloween meaning we haven't even gotten to the meat of fall yet but we are already getting show announcements for next summer. I say bring it on!

Motley Crue will headline Summerfest on June 21. Tickets on sale Friday (which is nuts)!

40 Years Of 'Shout At The Devil'

Forty years ago today, Motley Crue released Shout At The Devil. To celebrate this milestone, Motley just released a new lyric video for the song "Hotter Than Hell." That is the demo that eventually became "Louder Than Hell" and is included on the 1985 release Theatre of Pain.

The demo is part of the band's "super-deluxe "40th anniversary SATD boxset that is due out October 27. (Why wasn't it released today for the anniversary? No idea).

Shout At The Devil is an absolute classic and must-own for every 80s Metal fan. The album alone is probably why we are all here on this site, talking Glam bands so many years later.

Cash Grab or Must Have?

The celebrate the 40th anniversary of Shout At The Devil, Motley Crue will release a "Limited Edition Super Deluxe Box Set" of the classic album on October 27. I won't lie, the tarot cards and Ouija board look like fire. The price clocks in at a whopping $235, so it's a pass for me. Still looks awesome.

Def Leppard and Motley Crue On '60 Minutes Australia' Tomorrow

This is kind of a big deal: Def Leppard and Motley Crue will be on 60 Minutes (Australia) tomorrow night. 60 Minutes features are long-form journalism, so the piece should give some nice interviews and background info on the joint tour of both bands. The Australian news program started back in 1979 and has been a down-under news staple since then.

I'm sure the video will be available for worldwide distribution after the initial broadcast. Keep your eyes peeled.

Sunday Night on @60Minutes9 Australia 🇦🇺

What happens when two of the biggest - and loudest - bands of the 80s get together? Catch Def Leppard and @MotleyCrue on #60Mins, SUNDAY at 7PM.#DefLeppard #MotleyCrue pic.twitter.com/0n4ye9pE3t

So Just Who Would Tour With Motley Crue Next?

Apparently, Motley Crue will stay on the road and do another stadium tour next summer. The announcement came from a recent Vince Neil interview. The Motley singer concedes he doesn't know who else will be joining them on the road yet, so I thought it would be fun to kind of ponder. Take out Def Leppard (and presumably Poison, Joan Jett, Europe and Alice Cooper) since they've all done stints with Motley already on this package.

Do we think Bon Jovi is a possibility? Ozzy can't tour anymore. David Coverdale and Whitesnake are just about done. KISS is done (well, almost). Queen + Adam Lambert won't do a long tour and they would never do a trade-off headline thing. Ditto for AC/DC. Aerosmith will be on their own farewell tour. Guns n' Roses has been out on the road a lot already. A Skid Row reunion with Sebastian Bach would make tons of sense, but those guys don't want to reunite. Maybe Mammoth WVH? Greta Van Fleet? Sammy Hagar and/or Chickenfoot?

What sorts of bands can you think of that make sense for another Motley Crue summer tour?

Motley Crue Perform As 'Dogs Of War' In London

Motley Crue performed a small club show at the Underworld in London Friday night. The "secret" show was for 450 folks and Motley billed themselves as Dogs of War.

During the show, Motley Crue played a cover of the Beastie Boys "(You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party)." The cover surprisingly worked and I bet those 450 people had a great time and made some great memories.

Here's "Kickstart My Heart" from that same, small show (no idea how long these videos will stay up online, so watch fast):
