Motley Crue Tickets Information Back to Top Formed in Los Angeles in 1981, Motley Crue is one of the seminal hard rock bands of the 1980’s. Founded by Nikki Sixx and Tommy Lee then later joined by Nick Mars and Vince Neil, Motley Crue is one of the best-selling and most recognizable bands of all time. Although their debut album didn’t garner them a lot of attention, the real breakout for the band happened with the release of Shout to the Devil in 1983 which included hits like “Looks That Kill” and “Too Young to Fall in Love”. These were the songs that really put the band on the map creating a huge increase in demand for Motley Crue tickets. When the 90’s grunge explosion pushed aside the heavy metal vibe of the 80’s, Motley Crue felt the fallout in the form of Vince Neil leaving the band.. However, a huge part of their still thriving fame is that they managed to come out the other end with a 1997 reunion album, Generation Swine, which successfully transitioned them from glam rock to 21st century mainstream.

Three decades after their formation Motley Crue is still considered one of the most influential bands of the 1980’s with Papa Roach, Korn, and Linkin Park all having cited Motley Crue as inspiration for their own music. Despite their longevity in the business, Motley Crue is still a one of a kind performance to see so make sure you grab your Motley Crue tickets through TicketCity. Motley Crue Video Motley Crue Tour Information Motley Crue: The Final Tour 34 years after their inauguration, Motley Crue is going out on their own terms. Having kicked off on July 2, 2014 in Grand Rapids Michigan, Motley Crue Final Tour tickets are in high demand as the tour will span four continents and end in Los Angeles on December 31, 2015. Alice Cooper agreed to join the band on their farewell tour and the four members even went so far as to sign a legal document saying that Motley Crue Final Tour tickets arethe last that will ever be sold by the artists collectively known as Motley Crue.

The Tour A co-headlining tour with Kiss, The Tour kicked off in 2012 and included 46 shows in North America. With both bands playing their greatest hits, the concert was described by Kiss frontman Paul Stanley as “Elvis on steroids”. Garnering positive reviews for the still wildly energetic bands, The Tour was also the platform for Motley Crue to gain recognition for their single Sex. Motley Crue/Poison Tour Perhaps one of the most infamous of Motley Crue’s tours, the announcement of this tour sparked a lot of disbelief for fans of both bands. Long known for their dislike of each other, Motley Crue and Poison decided to bury the hatchet and embark on a 39 city tour to celebrate their anniversaries. The concert also consisted of Tommy Lee’s incredible 360 degree roller coaster drum solo.

The band has always been a revered live act for their showmanship and over-the-top performances, but their 2013 shows were their biggest and fieriest yet, featuring pyrotechnics beyond fans’ wildest dreams – including the late Nikki Sixx’s legendary flamethrower bass. With 72 North American dates in 2014 and international dates to follow, the Crue are doing it big in true form, burning bright to the very last guitar solo. BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT: Formed in LA in 1981 by guitarist Nikki Six and drummer Tommy Lee, Motley Crue was quickly rounded out with the addition of lead guitarist Mick Mars and singer Vince Neil. The band became notorious in the early ‘80s for their glam image and hard partying lifestyle, but it was 1983 sophomore album Shout at the Devil that made them international superstars.

1985’s Theatre of Pain and 1987’s Girls, Girls, Girls would prove even more successful, spawning ‘80s hard rock staples like “Smokin’ in the Boys Room” and “Home Sweet Home.” With 100 million albums sold worldwide, Motley Crue endures as one of the greatest heavy metal bands of all time, making their 2014 farewell tour a bittersweet last hurrah for their legions of fans. FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY: “Motley Crue still rules the rock scene after 30+ years of recording and performing. They played songs from virtually all albums and song selection was sure to please any Motley fan.” “Motley ALWAYS delivers an amazing show. Seeing the Crue doing what they do best in Sin City couldn't have been any better. The pyro was over-the-top amazing.” “This Motley Crue concert was the best Crue concert ever. The fire and pyros were awesome. They really outdid themselves.

They sounded great too.” Girls Girls, Girls by Motley Crue cover by Steel City Crue @ Hard Rock Cafe 1-4-14 - YouTube Girls Girls, Girls by Motley Crue cover by Steel City Crue @ Hard Rock Cafe 1-4-14 Want to watch this again later?

Category Motley Crue | Hard Rock Daddy Hard Rock Daddy Posted by AW Hard Rock Music Time Machine – 10/20/16 Each Thursday, Hard Rock Music Time Machine takes a journey back in time to feature a variety of songs that date back as far as the ’70s, the ’80s (the glory days of hard rock), hidden gems of the ’90s and hard rock/metal songs of the new millennium (as recent as a few years ago).

Whenever possible, it will also contain interviews from featured artists discussing the inspiration and meaning behind their songs. On the last Thursday of each month, we will be doing special themes that feature songs based on specific categories or years. In addition to appearing on the embedded YouTube playlist below, all songs featured on Hard Rock Music Time Machine can be listened to individually by clicking on the hyper-linked song titles above each review. MOTLEY CRUE – “Mutherfucker Of The Year” (2008) Although Motley Crue only finished touring recently, their last studio album was actually released in 2008. Saints Of Los Angeles is not only the most underrated Crue album ever, it is also one of the more underrated hard rock albums in recent memory. This was the first album that featured the entire original lineup in over a decade. This 2008 release is loosely based on The Dirt (which was the original title of the album). What’s interesting about the album is that it was predominantly written by the members of Sixx: A.M. (although Mick Mars also contributed on this song).

“Mutherfucker Of The Year” is an edgy, bombastic, in-your-face anthem that is sonically huge, and seems to be lyrically self-deprecating. I can’t say for sure what inspired the song, but as is the case with most songs, interpretation is often times left to the eye (or ears) of the beholder. Even though it is far less known than the band’s biggest hits, it is one of my favorite Crue songs of all-time. As the year draws to a close, there will be numerous lists commemorating the “best of” the year, but what about acknowledging the “Mutherfucker Of The Year?” Even though I won’t be releasing such a list, there are a number of names that I could easily nominate (with one standing above all others).

Check out the lyrics to the song as you listen to it, and think about who you might nominate as your personal “Mutherfucker Of The Year.” TWISTED SISTER – “Burn In Hell” (1984) It’s hard to say that anything off of Stay Hungry is as underrated as Motley Crue’s Saints Of Los Angeles, but a number of tracks from the album exist in the larger-than-life shadow cast by two of the greatest hard rock anthems of all-time – “We’re Not Gonna Take It” and “I Wanna Rock.” Like those classics, Twisted Sister created a music video that feels like a short movie. The video features Pee Wee Herman and a creepy clown (which seems particularly apropos given recent current events). “Burn In Hell” showcases the darker side of Twisted Sister, which is no surprise given Dee Snider’s love of horror films. More than any other album, 1984’s Stay Hungry features the music that takes me back in time to one of the best summers of my life. I love the whole album, but back then, I definitely favored the two anthems and “The Price” more than the other tracks.

Today, “Burn In Hell” hits a more personal, deep-meaning chord, especially the lyrics… “Take a good look in your heart, tell me what do you see? It’s black and it’s dark, now is that how you want it to be? It’s up to you, what you do will decide your own fate. Make your choice now, for tomorrow may be far too late.” WOODS OF YPRES – “I Was Buried In Mount Pleasant Cemetery” (2011) “I Was Buried In Mount Pleasant Cemetery” is a haunting tune from Woods Of Ypres’ Woods IV: The Green Album. This Canadian doom metal band is different from the typical bands in this genre, and simply too good to ignore. Their lyrics are almost poetic and full of emotion. David Gold’s singing is mesmerizing. Even the heavy parts of the song cut through the silence that precedes it. If you’ve never heard this band, I suggest you give them a try. The only thing sadder than this song is the death of the Gold (who passed away at the age of 31).

TYPE-O NEGATIVE – “Cinnamon Girl” (1996) The fall weather brings back memories of one of the best Type-O Negative albums ever recorded. October Rust was the band’s fourth studio album. Even though it was not as popular as their previous album (Bloody Kisses), it was a great album chock-full of memorable songs. While Bloody Kisses focused on the darker imagery of vampires and loneliness, October Rust dabbled with Wiccan theories and sensuality. Their cover of Neil Young’s “Cinnamon Girl” has the perfect Type-O Negative feel: dark and dreary with a tinge of romanticism. The band ceased to exist after the death of frontman Peter Steele, but their legacy lives on as one of the most important goth/doom metal bands ever. WIG WAM – “Hard To Be A Rock ‘N’ Roller” (2004) Wig Wam took the glam metal world by storm in 2004 with 667 .. The Neighbour Of The Beast. The album was re-released the following year as Hard To Be A Rock ‘N’ Roller, with bonus tracks that included radio edits of their two biggest hits.

They went on, later that year, to represented Norway at the Eurovision Song Contest with one of those hits, “In My Dreams.” This sleazy, but hilarious and melodic title track, was the other. ROYAL HUNT – “Hard Rain’s Coming” (2011) Denmark’s Royal Hunt delivers progressive metal with symphonic touches. They’ve had several lead singers, but 2011 saw them reunite with their original front man, D.C. Cooper. The first new album from that reunion, Show Me How To Live, included this melodic triumph with a karmic promise. TRIUMPH – “All The Way” (1982) Triumph followed up one of my “desert island” albums, Allied Forces, with 1982’s Never Surrender. While glam bands started to take off, Rik Emmett, Gil Moore and Mike Levine stuck to grassroots hard rock with signature positive themes and social statements. “All The Way” is an upbeat, inspirational song that features encouraging cliches woven together in the lyrics, highlighted by Emmett’s vocal and lead guitar mastery. Moore’s heavy hitting on the skins and Levine’s powerful bass help pound the message home.

ANTHRIEL – “The Devil’s Lullaby” (2010) The discography of Finland’s prog metal band Anthriel is brief – only 1 demo and a single full-length album – Pathways – from 2010. “The Devil’s Lullaby” demonstrates their well-orchestrated, power-based brand of prog metal. The song’s neo-classical flair can be heard in the various movements. Simo Silvan’s vocals are strong and passionate, a perfect complement to the skilled musicians taking you through a tale of a twisted mind. Posted by AW By Adam Waldman Crash Midnight may very well become the new “bad boys of rock and roll,” following in the footsteps of bands like Guns N’ Roses, Motley Crue and others. They certainly have the musical chops and attitude to fill a void in the genre, but did they really do anything so distasteful that YouTube felt the need to censor and remove the video for “Roxy” – the band’s latest single – 72 hours after it went live? There was a time when adolescent boys relied upon sneaking a peek at magazines like Playboy and Penthouse or perhaps an R-rated movie on cable to see a woman’s breast.

I’m sure that I’m not the only one from my generation to “read” National Geographic to see topless African women. And, I’m certainly not the only rock music fan to purchase Queen’s album, Jazz, for the poster that featured a slew of naked women on bicycles. In this day and age, my youthful “exposure” to women’s breasts is laughable compared to what can be found with the click of a button online. Crash Midnight has always been passionate about their art, and unapologetic about putting their music first and not backing down from clashes with authority. They have routinely been banned from Boston-area venues because of their wild shows and outspoken views about certain local city officials, so it’s no surprise that the band is doing whatever they can to make the uncensored video of “Roxy” available to their fans. “We’ve always been against censorship of the arts,” stated Crash Midnight frontman Shaun Soho. “We’re not going to let sites like YouTube (that pays artists next to nothing for their content), dictate what our fans get to see.” Thankfully, because of the power of social media, we no longer live in the days where artists have no leverage to fight against censorship.

YouTube may be living in the mid-‘80s era of the PMRC (Parents Music Resource Center), but rock artists and their fans aren’t. There is an inherent danger in the slippery slope of censoring art, and that’s exactly what the nudity in the video for “Roxy” represents. It is neither gratuitous nor salacious; it is used to help tell the story behind the meaning of the song . The video doesn’t feature disturbingly real, bloody violence, hardcore sex acts or anything that warranted its removal by YouTube. In fact, it can be argued that there are numerous pop videos that are far more suggestive/inappropriate and, to make matters worse, they target a much younger audience than Crash Midnight. It’s 2016. Porn is readily available to anyone with an internet connection and the ability to lie about their age. You can find nudity and foul language on network television. Every sporting event features commercials about erectile dysfunction. Sexual suggestion and innuendo is so ubiquitous that it can be found on “family” shows like Family Feud. Are we really to believe that flashing to a woman’s breast in a rock music video rises to the level of dangerous?

If there is a silver lining to this ridiculous overreach by YouTube, it is the confirmation that rock and roll is alive and well, and heading towards a mainstream revival. After all, there is no fear of the underground. Let’s not go back in time to the censorship days of the PMRC. We have the power to start a rock and roll revolution with Crash Midnight leading the way. Help spread the word by sharing this story. Go to and check out the UNCENSORED video for “Roxy” on the new Crash Midnight app. Posted by AW Hard Rock Daddy presents Music Discovery Monday – 2/1/16. Each week, the HRD team shares songs that fly below radio’s radar, ranging from lesser-known artists to deeper cuts from both up-and-coming and established artists. In addition to exposing the Hard Rock Daddy audience to new music that isn’t getting the attention that it deserves from radio, Music Discovery Monday also features a segment called “Hard Rock Music Time Machine,” which showcases older songs (from the ’70s to today) that hard rock music fans may have missed at the time of release.

In addition to appearing on the embedded YouTube playlists beneath each section, all songs featured on Music Discovery Monday can be listened to by clicking on the hyper-linked song titles. This week, Music Discovery Monday pays tribute to yet another fallen rock star – Jimmy Bain, bassist (Rainbow, DIO, Last In Line, and more). ADAM WALDMAN – (Publisher, Hard Rock Daddy) The hard rock world suffered another tremendous lost recently with the passing of bassist Jimmy Bain. Along with Ronnie James Dio, Bain was the only other musician featured on three of my all-time favorite albums (as seen in the Hard Rock Music Time Machine segment of Music Discovery Monday). Bain’s most recent work was with a band named after one of those albums, Last In Line. It was with this band that Bain died at sea while on the Def Leppard Cruise. Since his passing, the band has released two videos from their forthcoming album to honor their fallen bandmate. In addition to his most notable work, Bain also played with Thin Lizzy, Phil Lynott, Gary Moore and others.

Today, we celebrate his most recent work and the legendary albums where he played an integral role… LAST IN LINE – “Starmaker” When Ronnie James Dio left Black Sabbath, he took drummer Vinny Appice with him, and recruited former Rainbow bandmate Jimmy Bain to join him in DIO. It was Bain who suggested Vivian Campbell to RJD. In September of 1982, these four played together for the first time. The magic was evident; the classic DIO lineup was born. Together, this lineup created not only the three best DIO albums, but three of the best hard rock/heavy metal albums of all-time: Holy Diver, The Last In Line and Sacred Heart. Three decades later, with RJD having passed away in 2010, the original members of DIO reunited to play the songs that they recorded together, under the moniker Last In Line. You can’t replace a legend like RJD, but you can find a singer that can not only do the songs of a golden era justice, but also take the band to new heights with original material. Enter Andrew Freeman, a passionate, talented singer with a nice resume, but far from a household name.

Jimmy Bain’s recent unexpected passing on the Def Leppard Cruise thrust this band into the headlines. Sadly, it was not because of the band’s vast talent or chemistry, but that doesn’t diminish the sound that they have created with their upcoming debut release. This was the last video that Bain made before his passing. It was scheduled to be released ahead of the release of Heavy Crown. No one expected it to be done as part of a tribute to Bain, turning a celebratory moment into a bittersweet one. Bain was incredibly proud of the music that Last In Line created. “Starmaker” features the heavy bottom that Bain was famous for in his work with the likes of DIO and Rainbow. It blends elements of each legendary band into something different and timeless. It’s fitting that this song was Bain’s final video. He is a “starmaker” who helped bring attention to Campbell, and now to Freeman. This song is everything that you love about classic DIO and more. LAST IN LINE – “Blame It On Me” “Blame It On Me” was also slated to be released as a single ahead of Last In Line’s debut album street date.

The release of the lyric video went on as scheduled as a tribute to Jimmy Bain. The song has a more ominous, angst-ridden feel than “Starmaker.” Lyrics like “but I remember when I was the cancer” and “it’s a God damn shame” end up being prophetically painful in light of the loss of Bain. It was revealed today that the cause of Bain’s death was lung cancer. This dreaded disease has hit this band hard. RJD died of stomach cancer in 2010, and Vivian Campbell has been battling Hodgkin’s Lymphoma on and off in recent times. Amazingly, Bain played a rehearsal on the day of his passing; sang backing vocals and had a heavy bass strapped to his neck. He was being treated for pneumonia, and never complained about any illness that he was dealing with. Bain embodied the spirit of rock and roll. The tribute to Jimmy Bain continues in the Hard Rock Music Time Machine segment, as his work with Rainbow and DIO is highlighted, as well as parting thoughts from his Last In Line bandmates, still in shock over his sudden passing.

MEGADETH – “Dystopia” While I was not among those particularly disappointed by Supercollider, it does not feel like a stretch to describe Dystopia as a “return to form” for this legendary “Big Four” band. The addition of two new members somehow resulted in a more traditional Megadeth sound and, when you’re Megadeth, tradition is business…and business is good. THE TREATMENT – “Let It Begin” Despite the presence of a new singer and a new guitarist, the first track from the forthcoming album, Generation Me, is in some respects, the same ol’ Treatment. I mean that in a good way. After all, their (most recent) previous release landed at #10 in my 2014 albums of the year list. The same AC/DC vibe present on the previous record remains in evidence instrumentally this time around, while new lead vocals from Mitchell Emms (as seen on the U.K. version of The Voice) adds a different spin to the sound. INNERWISH – “Rain Of A Thousand Years” Greek power metallers Innerwish return this March with an eponymous new album.

The musical landscape of this first release from that album switches between light plucking acoustics and full blown electric riffs with soaring vocals and hammering bass and drums, for a promising taste of what’s to come. ELEVENTH HOUR – “Long Road Home” Plaintive strings punctuated by resonant brass yield quickly to layered symphonic metal in this Italian melodic metal band’s first single from their debut album. Guitarist/composer Aldo Turini has joined forces with producer/vocalist Alessandro del Vecchio and a host of other talent on Memory Of A Lifetime Journey. CHRIS HERZEGOVITCH – HRD Music Scout REDEMPTION (f. MARTY FRIEDMAN) – “Damage” 2016 brings a brand new album (The Art Of Loss) from one of my favorites bands…Redemption. I wasn’t sure how this great band could get any better, until I saw Marty Friedman (Megadeth, Cacophony) featured on this track. “Damage” is yet another musically brilliant, captivating track that features Redemption’s signature progressive metal sound and the distinctive vocals of Ray Alder (Fates Warning).

The additional firepower and expertise from Friedman puts this one way over the top. SUNRISE – “Tower Of Fear” Sunrise is a melodic power metal band from Kiev, Russia that has been around since 2003. “Tower of Fear” is the lead song from their new album, Absolute Clarity. Lots of good things here: the powerful intro, lead and chorus vocals, intricate guitar work and the adept tempo changes of the tight rhythm section. SUBMISSIONS To be considered for Music Discovery Monday, please e-mail a link to the song being submitted on YouTube and an artist bio to – submissions@MusicDiscoveryMonday.com HARD ROCK MUSIC TIME MACHINE ADAM WALDMAN RAINBOW – “Stargazer” (1976) When you’re teamed up with one of the greatest singers and guitarists in hard rock/metal music history, in Ronnie James Dio and Ritchie Blackmore, it’s easy to get overlooked. Factor in the intense drumming of Cozy Powell, and getting noticed as the bass player becomes increasingly more challenging. But, if you listen to this epic song more carefully, you can easily lock into the importance of Jimmy Bain’s bass playing within the confines of the music.

Bain not only locks in perfectly with Powell, he lays down a rock solid foundation that allows Blackmore the freedom to fly. This was my first exposure to Jimmy Bain. And though his time with Rainbow was short-lived, his impact cannot be understated. Sadly, Bain joins Dio and Powell as departed members of an incarnation of Rainbow that produced an album for the ages in Rising. The album cover is the band’s most iconic, and the music is still holds up as one of the greatest albums of all-time (Rainbow or otherwise). DIO – “Straight Through The Heart” (1983) As mentioned above, Jimmy Bain’s time with Rainbow was limited to one iconic studio album (Rising) and one live album (On Stage). His limited tenure was more than enough time to make an impression on Ronnie James Dio, who recruited his former bandmate to be the bass player in DIO. Once again, paired up with a dynamic guitar player in Vivian Campbell and a punishing drummer in Vinny Appice, Bain’s playing is not the first thing that you notice when listening to this balls-to-the-wall track, but when you listen for it, you’ll see exactly why RJD reunited with Bain when he went out on his own.

But it was more than just Bain’s bass playing that made him such a valuable asset to Dio. In addition to a number of other songs on Holy Diver, the duo collaborated to write transcendant, timeless music that sounds as fresh today as it did in 1983. DIO – “Mystery” (1984) Normally, I only feature two songs in the Hard Rock Music Time Machine segment, but the shocking loss of Jimmy Bain has caused me to deviate from the rules a bit. As the song says…“when there’s thunder, there should be rain, but it don’t always follow the rules, no.” Like the Holy Diver album, Bain’s writing stamp is all over The Last In Line as well. Any number of songs could have been chosen – most of which are much less popular than “Mystery” – but this was chosen because it seemed a fitting tribute to use the one song on the album that was a pure collaboration between the duo. The music that Bain and Dio created together goes well beyond the handful of songs that were featured in this forum.

If you’re a fan of hard rock and heavy metal, it’s likely that none of these songs were actual discoveries, but they were chosen to show the hand that a vastly underrated musician had in creating them. It seems that too many rock stars these days have become “Hungry For Heaven” way before their time. Jimmy Bain’s passing didn’t send shockwaves through the rock and roll world like some of the more high profile names of late, but his loss is equally as great to those who were fans of his music. RIP Jimmy! Thank you for writing so many of the songs that made up the soundtrack of my youth. Last In Line parting words… “Jimmy Bain – friend, brother and band mate passed away on Saturday January 23, 2016. The Medical Examiner report states the official cause of death was lung cancer. Jimmy didn’t know he had lung cancer, but he did know he had pneumonia and was receiving treatment for it. This didn’t stop him or slow him down, we had four rehearsals 4 hours a day, then a flight to Miami for The Def Leppard Rock Cruise. A pre-sail gig and sound check was scheduled for the following day.

At the gig Jimmy played great and even sang that night while holding a heavy bass guitar on his back, never complaining or asking for help. Next day we preceded [sic] to board the cruise ship for a 5 day voyage of which we were scheduled to play Sunday the 4th day. That gig never happened as Jimmy passed away in his cabin the night before, we were devastated. Jimmy was a trooper, he gave his all to the band he loved, the music he loved and the fans. He didn’t want to let anyone down. I don’t know anyone that would have attempted this schedule while being this sick and not feeling well, a trooper. He was so happy and proud of the new album we recorded, it so unfortunate and sad he didn’t live to see it released. We were all looking forward to being on the road and playing together again, there was such a magic between us.

Our prayers go out to his family and so many friends and fans who will miss the amazing person that was Jimmy Bain.”- VINNY APPICE TANK – “War Nation” (2012) Title track from the last album to feature Doogie White on vocals, “War Nation” is just a great example of how the classic sound of the NWOBHM era can still sound strong three decades later. MOTLEY CRUE – “Keep Your Eye On Your Money” (1985) Unlike the albums that immediately preceded or followed, Theater Of Pain only featured two official singles. While “Smokin’ In The Boys Room” and “Home Sweet Home” helped the album to reach quadruple platinum sales (and certainly served their purpose), this track could have easily served to further highlight the more glam style of the record. SUPREME MAJESTY – “Fallen Star” (2003) Melodic, fantasy-themed power metal outfit Supreme Majesty has an odd genealogy; they were born from two death-metal bands (Mortum and Non Serviam). Bright and driving in both lyrics and music, “Fallen Star” has an instant appeal, and is a perfect lead track for the Danger album.

Joakim Olsson does a terrific job leading a talented bunch with his powerful, ranging vocals. FATES WARNING – “One” (2000) “One” is a great track from one of the flagship bands of progressive metal, Fates Warning. Expert time changes and skilled musicianship (as expected), with a highly polished, refined production sound. Mark Zonder’s work on the drums is fantastic. This track, (from the Disconnected album) also features frequent guests of the band: Joey Vera (Armored Saint, Anthrax) on bass and Kevin Moore (Dream Theater) on keyboards. Posted by AW As Nikki Sixx’s career with Motley Crue winds down, it seems that Sixx: A.M. is destined to reach new heights. One of the benefits of creating a band with established, proven entities is that they are free to expand their horizons when they write, and draw inspiration from a variety of influences (that may or may not be defined as traditional “hard rock”). This is one of the reasons that the band’s most recent single, “Stars,” stands out in a unique way amongst other songs on Active Rock radio today.

With the freedom to push the envelope more than ever on Modern Vintage, Sixx: A.M. has taken their sound to another level, particularly with “Stars,” (arguably the best track on the album). Fast-paced and aggressive, the song builds to a crescendo as the chorus explodes with a melodic hook and James Michael’s impassioned vocals. DJ Ashba’s lead is as impressive as it is tasteful, adding a perfect accent within the confines of the song. “Stars” is yet another standout single, following in the footsteps of “Life Is Beautiful,” “Lies Of The Beautiful People” and “Gotta Get It Right” (the first single off of Modern Vintage). Seeing the Motely Crue era come to an end may be disappointing to many, but the silver lining is that it gives Sixx: A.M. the chance to flourish as something more than a side project; the band will finally be free to shoot for the “stars” with their own brand of hard rock.

Motley Crue to Invade Sin City | Pearl Drums Motley Crue to Invade Sin City Tweet After a long week of online teasers and a series of clues posted on almost every major music website on the Internet, Motley Crue have announced their 2 week residency at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas! Following the tradition of any Motley Crue event, a psycho circus of hard rock pandemonium, and probably some form of nudity, will be included in the show, along with Motley’s ever-present and mind blowing production of pyro, explosions, and Tommy Lee’s unforgettable 360 degree drum-coaster. For 30 years Motley Crue have been the front-runners in rock stardom, with unparalleled debauchery guaranteed to ensue in whichever town they invade on the road. The band’s Las Vegas residency is certain to include their traditional antics, but on a stage and at a level in which no one has witnessed before. The Los Angeles-based, multiplatinum band will be the first hard rock band to establish a residency in Sin City, and are in the planning stages of a production that singer Vince Neil compared to Cirque du Soleil.

“This show is going to be more towards the Cirque-type, over-the-top, full-production thing,” Neil said in a conference call to announce the series. “We’re really not interested in just going out there and playing songs. We want to make a full-blown interactive [show].” A Vegas residency is a growing tradition established in recent years by the likes of Elton John, Santana and Rod Stewart, and is something Motley has discussed for years, said drummer Tommy Lee . Band members were excited by the possibilities whenever watching a big Vegas show, including the Beatles-themed “Love” by Cirque du Soleil. “We all have talked about it many times going, “God, could you imagine if we could only get our hands on this kind of an opportunity, what we could do?” said Lee . For the drummer, the possibilities include expanding on the daring acrobatics of the band’s current tour, which has Lee’s Pearl E-Pro Live , electronic drum kit attached to a 360-degree rollercoaster that sends him spinning around and upside down during a wild drum solo.

At the Hard Rock, Tommy Lee predicted “something even more crazy.” “We love putting on an incredible show and when it doesn’t have to move around from city to city, day by day, the options become incredible,” said Lee . “Who wouldn’t jump at the chance to design a show that people want to come to?” On recent tour stops at the Hollywood Bowl and the Sunset Strip Music Festival, the band brought a high-octane stagecraft to their material, from "Girls, Girls, Girls" to “Saints of Los Angeles.” Details on the Vegas show were still vague, and the band members were openly considering the possibilities as they spoke with media on the conference call. “This is Vegas and it sure would be fun to, really do it full Vegas style and have there be, some -- nudity or almost nude,” said Neil. “It would be great to do things Vegas-style where you couldn’t do some of those things in a normal arena in Ohio.” Motley Crue’s Las Vegas experience is scheduled to run from February 3rd- February 19th with Tickets now being available on the band’s website .

About Mötley Crüe The Band - Motley Crue Motley Crue Official Website for Mötley Crüe The Band MÖTLEY CRÜE is The World’s Most Notorious Rock Band. Vince Neil (vocals), Mick Mars (guitar), Nikki Sixx (bass) and Tommy Lee (drums) laid the foundation for their inimitable career in the ’80s with their genre-bending music, a mix of anthemic choruses, stadium-sized riffs, punk rock and melodic power, along with their relentless reputation, typifying an excess never before seen in modern music. But they didn’t stop there. MÖTLEY CRÜE continued to evolve through the ’90s and beyond, releasing their NY Times best-selling book The Dirt long before it was common and cool for celebrities to have their own tomes.

The page-turning rock epic offered a keyhole view into life in The CRÜE. It is currently being adapted into a feature film by noted director Jeff Tremaine. MÖTLEY CRÜE reinvented itself yet again through the ’00s and the present decade by continually doing new things, such as launching a branded tour known as Crüefest. Also, The CRÜE was the first band to do a rock residency in Las Vegas, something its peers, Def Leppard and Guns N’ Roses, did after them. Their sold-out stint at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino further elevated MÖTLEY CRÜE ‘s mythos, demonstrating the fact that they can do anything. They’ve also executed impressive, innovative live production, such as Lee’s roller coaster, which sends him around a 360-degree loop during his drum solo. MÖTLEY CRÜE has also become a part of the cultural lexicon, with songs featured in films like Little Nicky and Hot Tub Time Machine. “Kickstart My Heart” was used in the award winning KIA MOTORS 2012 Super Bowl commercial, featuring Victoria’s Secret supermodel Adriana Lima and UFC legend Chuck Liddell.

The song is also being used in Dodge’s 100th Anniversary spots in 2014. MÖTLEY CRÜE’s career-spanning numbers are impressive. The band has sold 100 million albums globally; has reached seven platinum or multi-platinum certifications; 22 Top 40 mainstream rock hits; six Top 20 pop singles; a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame; three Grammy nominations for Best Hard Rock Performance; and countless sold-out tours across the globe, playing to millions and generations of fans. Besides the hook-filled, ground-breaking music, MÖTLEY CRÜE’s image pioneered an attitude, fashion sense and lifestyle, influencing a legion of fans who copied its look. The members of the band have published a total of five New York Times Best-Selling books, including The Heroin Diaries and This Is Gonna Hurt by Nikki Sixx; Tommyland by Tommy Lee; Tattoos and Tequila by Vince Neil and the infamous The Dirt. This capacity for reinvention and innovation is why Motley Crue continues to attract fans young and old – many who weren’t even born during the band’s early reign.

That fact proves that they are the rock band for all ages and eras. But All Bad Things Must Come To An End and Motley Crue is taking one last trip around the world embarking on its victory lap in high-impact fashion. 2014 marks the onset of MÖTLEY CRÜE’s swan song, their Final Tour, which will take the band all the way through the end of 2015.
