Motley Crue

[muthagoose]

Former MÖTLEY CRÜE drummer Tommy Lee phoned into the "Jackie & Bender" radio show on KISS 106.1 FM in Seattle on Thursday (Oct. 28). During the 10-minute interview, Lee talked about attending The University of Nebraska-Lincoln for his reality show, working on his autobiography with Rolling Stone's Anthony Bozza, his seemingly unlikely friendship with BACKSTREET BOYS star Nick Carter, MÖTLEY CRÜE reunion talk, his upcoming solo album, and his sons Brandon and Dylan. A couple of excerpts from the interview follow:

On MÖTLEY CRÜE reunion talk:

Tommy Lee: "Yeah, I heard about that. Let's just say, all four of us haven't been in a room together and decided what the hell is going on, so it's just a rumor."

On filming a reality show at the The University of Nebraska-Lincoln:

Tommy Lee: "It's killer. You know, it's… I never got to go to college, 'cause at 17, I got a recording contract with MÖTLEY, and I bailed. And so this is an experience that I never got to experience. It's a lot of fun. There's tons of hot chicks. And I'm actually learning — believe it or not — I'm actually learning and taking tests and I have a really hot tutor that's helping me out. It's all love. It's fun."

On his friendship with BACKSTREET BOYS singer Nick Carter:

Tommy Lee: "You know how managers call other managers, that kind of a vibe?! Well, Nick's manager called mine and said, 'Hey, he's working on a solo record, would like Tommy to collaborate with him on some stuff. He's looking for some heavier-sounding stuff.' And I was like, 'Well, this is strange.' But I took the meeting. I mean, why not? The worst thing that could happen is you'd say 'No' and you don't do it. So we got together and I'd come to find out he's this ridiculous heavy rock fan — like you would never know that in a million years. We went out to his car and he played me a bunch of stuff that he was listening to, and he had everything from BLACK SABBATH to LED ZEPPELIN in his CD player. And I was lie, 'Whoa, this is crazy.' The guy is nothing like anyone would imagine."

Former MÖTLEY CRÜE drummer Tommy Lee has spoken to MTV.com about the reports that a CRÜE reunion tour is currently being planned and is scheduled to kick off in early 2005. "I did get together with Nikki [Sixx, CRÜE bassist] and record a couple of tracks," Lee said. "But as far as all four of us being in a room together and deciding to go on a tour, that's just a rumor. We haven't decided that yet. Mick [Mars] just got hip-replacement surgery; he's been really ill for a while. So no, we haven't been able to do that."

Lee also confirmed that two songs — one heavy, one mellow — that he originally wrote for BACKSTREET BOYS singer Nick Carter's now-aborted solo album will end up on his own solo CD. Lee has also just laid down tracks with Butch Walker and SOMETHING CORPORATE's Andrew McMahon for the album, due out early next year, on which he's also hoping to work with Dave Grohl, Lenny Kravitz and Nikka Costa. "I just love to collaborate," Lee said. "It's going to be fun."

Vince still Crue-less
MIKE ROSS, EDMONTON SUN

Why there's such excitement over a possible Motley Crue reunion is no mystery. Rock 'n' roll could use a little motleyness. These guys were the most decadent bunch of rock stars ever to get wasted, have sex with porn stars and trash hotel rooms. They logged more arrests than hit songs, got more media attention for bad behaviour than for music and in their own delightful way, were the walking, talking, hard-drinking, hard-rocking epitome of the excessive Los Angeles rock scene of the '80s.

Those were the days - note use of the past tense.

Now they're in their 40s. Whither decadence? Where are the rock star antics? Who is left to shock and awe the uptight establishment? Tommy Lee's even written a book. Vince Neil seems to maintain the Motley image of yore - or does he? During a recent phone interview to promote his solo show on Wednesday at Cowboys, the 43-year-old singer took umbrage at suggestions he's anything other than an upstanding, normal guy.

SUN: I heard you had a late night last night. Care to share the details?

VINCE: What do you mean? I have no idea what that even means.

SUN: Um, well, your manager Alan said you had a late night. Just wondering what you did.

VINCE: Alan's in Nashville. He wouldn't know what I do out on the road. And he's not my manager. There was no late night. We did a show and hung out with some friends and then came to the next gig. That's about it.

SUN: We're told that this show may be the last chance to see you before you rejoin Motley Crue in 2005. Can you give us some details on that?

VINCE: I don't have any details to give out. It could be or it couldn't be. We're not sure what we're doing. Everybody's got their own things going right now. I've been on tour since April, I've got a new record coming out next year and Tommy's doing his book thing and whatever. It's hard to get four busy guys together to do something as massive as a Motley Crue reunion.

SUN: Tell me about the new record.

VINCE: There is no new record.

SUN: You said you have a record coming out next year.

VINCE: Oh, my record. I did record four new songs for Motley, but I've got a new single that I just finished. It's a song called Promise Me, written by Desmond Child, so obviously it's a pretty f---ing cool song. It doesn't sound like Motley. It sounds like, I don't know, it kinda has a U2 feel.

SUN: You guys were known for such colourful rock star behaviour. Are you comfortable maintaining that image at this point in your life?

VINCE: Those stories, when you're younger, everybody does that. We just got more press about it. It's not like you set out to go and get as f---ed up as you can and destroy a hotel room. When was that ever fun? But when you're in your early 20s and somebody gives you a million dollars and some fame, you're going to go out and have a great time. I don't think people expect that now. I think it's kind of lame if they did. You can't live like that. It's false. People have homes and most people have families and live a pretty normal lifestyle. It isn't what people think it is.

SUN: Back to the Crue reunion, are you up for it? I know you're the last holdout.

VINCE: If it happens, it happens. If not, it really doesn't matter to me. My life goes on.

SUN: Do you want to do it?

VINCE: It's not like I'm looking forward to it. I enjoy what I'm doing now. I love going out and playing the smaller venues and having a good time with the guys in my band. In Motley there's a lot more brain damage. You have four people running a show instead of one. There are a lot more problems with big productions. There's a lot more to it than what I do.

SUN: OK, if it were up to you, if you could push a button and make the Motley Crue reunion happen, would you?

VINCE: Yeah, I probably would.

SUN: That's all I want to know. Tell me about the four new Motley Crue songs. Do you play those live?

VINCE: No. We did them a couple of months ago. There's nothing to tell about them. They're just some good sounding songs. I don't know if they're for Motley or not. I recorded them with Nikki (Sixx) and Bob Rock and I sang on them. I'm not sure what they're going to be used for.

SUN: Have all the resentments been cleared up between you?

VINCE: What do you mean?

SUN: You know, the arguments, disagreements ...

VINCE: Motley hasn't talked to each other in five or six years. I talk to Nikki a lot, but that's about it.

SUN: He seems to be the most keen on getting back together.

VINCE: I guess. We don't really talk business when we talk.

SUN: Tell me about your stint on The Surreal Life. Why did you do it?

VINCE: It seemed like fun. I knew a couple of people that were on there. It was only 10 days. It was an experience. I wanted to see what it was like to have cameras around 24 hours a day.

SUN: Were you comfortable with the fact the show was kind of making fun of you?

VINCE: I didn't know they were making fun of me. I've never heard of anybody making fun of anybody in these shows. I don't know what your point is. It's called entertainment.

MÖTLEY CRÜE/BRIDES OF DESTRUCTION bassist Nikki Sixx has posted the following message to the "Diary" section of CRÜE's official web site:
"I've been locked in my home studio writing music for 'The Herion Diaries'. I've also been hard at work buttoning up the book [autobiography] (of the same name). All this stuff will come out next year. Very exciting project for me.

I've turned my back on Pro Tools and have dived head-on into logic pro 7. A must tool for songwriting. The new CRÜE songs turned out fuckin killer. Not sure where they will turn up, but like any good splinter, I'm sure they will work themselves out and break through to the surface sometime. Who knows, not me.

"Mick [Mars, MÖTLEY CRÜE guitarist] is doing great and sends his love."

Veteran producer Bob Rock (METALLICA, MÖTLEY CRÜE, BON JOVI, THE CULT) has commented on the recent MÖTLEY CRÜE recording sessions that have yielded four new songs from the famed '80s hard rockers.

Speaking to the Los Angeles Times, Rock said, "There's really a great energy with these guys. But there's also a darkness that comes with it. We've already cut four songs with the original members." But he quickly added, "I didn't say they were all in the same room at the same time."

Rock also commented on former MÖTLEY CRÜE drummer Tommy Lee's apparent desire to make the transition from bad boy to good man.
"For a while, he's been in a place where he wants to put his past behind him," said Rock. "But he's really tied to his past. It's what he's famous for, that's kind of like who he is. He's still the guy I met during 'Dr. Feelgood' [MÖTLEY CRÜE's 1989 album that went to No. 1]. He's still living that life. But he wants to go on and not be recognized as that thing."

Usher, Nelly, Green Day To Rock Billboard Awards

R&B/hip-hop superstars Usher and Nelly and punk trio Green Day comprise the first acts set to perform at the 2004 Billboard Music Awards. As previously reported, the event will be held Dec. 8 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas and broadcast live on Fox.

Among the artists confirmed to appear during the event are Alicia Keys, Duran Duran, Motley Crue, Ashlee Simpson, Fantasia, Nick Lachey and Chingy. Stevie Wonder will receive Billboard's Century Award, the magazine's highest honor for creative achievement.

[LotB]

I wonder if that's the "real" Motley Crue. I wonder if Ashlee Simpson will really sing. I wonder which is more likely to happen...

[muthagoose]

MÖTLEY CRÜE are rumored to be planning a press conference on Monday, December 6 to announce the reunion tour by the group's original lineup: Vince Neil (vocals), Nikki Sixx (bass), Tommy Lee (drums) and Mick Mars (guitar). The press conference will reportedly be held in Los Angeles and will be followed by the band's appearance at the 2004 Billboard Music Awards on Dec. 8 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The event will be broadcast live on Fox.
A full-blown MÖTLEY CRÜE reunion trek is expected to kick off in the first quarter of 2005. The band hasn't toured with all four original members since 1999. A greatest-hits collection, featuring at least two new songs, is due in early 2005. A brand new studio CD is being discussed for a possible late 2005 release.

MÖTLEY CRÜE have already demoed at least four songs for inclusion on their "greatest hits" album and/or brand-new studio release, including "Black Roses", "Another Bad Day", "Entertain Us" and "Get Out". The material, which was recorded at studios in Los Angeles and Las Vegas (photo), is described by Sixx as "very MÖTLEY sounding, I'd say 'Dr. Feelgood' meets 'Shout At the Devil'. It's true rock 'n' roll. Nothing more, nothing less."

Although the band have yet to confirm the report, Britain's Metal Hammer magazine revealed last month what it claims are the details of the band's upcoming U.K. tour in June 2005. Those dates are as follows:
Jun. 14 – Glasgow, UK @ SECC
Jun. 15 - Manchester, UK @ MEN
Jun. 17 - Cardiff, UK @ Int'l Arena
Jun. 18 - Birmingham, UK @ NEC
Jun. 19 - Wembley, UK @ Arena

[Üncle Snake]

In addition to the previously announced "greatest hits" collection featuring one or two new songs (tentatively due in January 2005), MÖTLEY CRÜE are planning on releasing the first-ever DVD featuring the band's four original members, according to a document leaked to MelodicRock.com. The tentative release date for the DVD is July 2005. Plans also exist for an "all-star" tribute album to MÖTLEY CRÜE, with a target release date of September 2005. Also in the works is a soundtrack to "The Dirt", the forthcoming Paramount film based on the best-selling autobiography of MÖTLEY CRÜE.

The U.S. leg of MÖTLEY CRÜE's upcoming reunion tour, which will be officially announced at a press conference in Los Angeles on Monday, December 6, will take place in February/March 2005 and will cover the following cities:

Seattle, WA
Chicago, IL
Philadelphia, PA
Los Angeles, CA
Columbus, OH
Boston, MA

Nashville, TN
Houston, TX
Tampa, FL
St. Louis, MO

Hard rock radio personality Eddie Trunk announced on his "Friday Night Rocks" radio show on New York's Q104.3 FM on Friday (Nov. 26) that he will be traveling to Los Angeles next weekend to interview the four original members of MÖTLEY CRÜE and cover the band's reunion press conference for VH1.

The press conference will apparently take place on Monday, December 6 on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood, CA. VH1 and VH1 Classic are expected to broadcast the highlights of the press conference as well as air portions of the pre-recorded interviews conducted by Trunk.

[Üncle Snake]

According to ExploreTalent.com, MÖTLEY CRÜE recently issued a casting call for a female lead to star in the group's new video for a song called "If I Die Tomorrow". The description and talent specifications of the role the video producers were trying to fill are as follows: "Brunette, female, caucasian, light hispanic or light mixed ethnicity (exotic), 18 to 24 yrs old, hot, great body, voluptuous. Must be able to act and must have curves. She will be in every scene of this video. Great exposure, VH1 is doing a behind-the-scenes show and launch for this..."

Auditions for the role were apparently held in Los Angeles on November 15-16, 2004. No further details were provided.

Several music message boards are abuzz with reports that the band have been filming a video in Hollywood over the past few days. In addition, it is rumored that MÖTLEY CRÜE will play one or more warm-up gigs at the Whisky A Go Go in Hollywood prior to the launch of their reunion tour. Whisky's official web site contains no mention of the rumored date(s), but it is currently hosting a teaser ad for CRÜE's upcoming tour.

[Üncle Snake]

MÖTLEY CRÜE have set "Red, White and Crüe" as the title of their upcoming greatest-hits collection, tentatively due in January/February 2005, informed sources have told BLABBERMOUTH.NET. The set is expected to include at least one new song recorded recently with the band's original lineup of Vince Neil (vocals), Nikki Sixx (bass), Tommy Lee (drums) and Mick Mars (guitar).

[Üncle Snake]

According to the New York Post, MÖTLEY CRÜE will announce their reunion tour at a press conference Monday (Dec. 6) in front of the Whisky A Go Go on the Sunset Strip, the historic rock club where CRÜE got their start in the early 1980s. VH1 will cover the announcement live and the Strip will be shut down. The press conference will be followed by the band's appearance at the 2004 Billboard Music Awards on Dec. 8 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The event will be broadcast live on Fox.

In other news, MÖTLEY CRÜE frontman Vince Neil will marry his longtime girlfriend Leah Gardini January 9 in Las Vegas.

[muthagoose]

You remember the last time a street was shut down for Motley Crue was when Vince Neil was involved in a serious alcohol-related car accident in Redondo Beach, CA. The singer, who was driving drunk, skidded into an oncoming car, killing his passenger, Hanoi Rocks' drummer Nicolas "Razzle" Dingley, and seriously injuring the two passengers in the other vehicle. Neil avoided prison and was sent to a drug and alcohol rehabilitation clinic and ordered to pay damages to the victims.

[muthagoose]

According to Dave Simpson of The Guardian, rumor has it that MÖTLEY CRÜE will trumpet their return by descending on to Sunset Strip in helicopters on Monday, December 6 for their press conference to unveil a 2005 world tour featuring the original line-up of Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee, Vince Neil and Mick Mars.

Ian Gittins, who is working on a Sixx biography, says MÖTLEY CRÜE have "cleaned up" and, with the re-emergence of metal, are looking forward to "reclaiming their proud legacy". "Two of the band are filming reality TV shows," says Gittins. "Tommy Lee is filming what happens when a 'wild man of rock' joins the University of Nebraska marching band, and Vince Neil has had $80,000 worth of plastic surgery on his face paid for by TV. Nikki says he looks fabulous."

Muthagoose says: "If those were recent photos that were posted... Vince got ripped off."

[Üncle Snake]

MÖTLEY CRÜE's manager at Tenth Street Entertainment has told Billboard.com that talk that the group will be announcing a tour Monday (Dec. 6) at a press event on Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood, Calif., is premature.

"Anyone showing up at the Whisky on Monday will be with a bunch of other people holding a seance trying to will this thing to happen," MÖTLEY CRÜE manager Allen Kovac told Billboard.com. Kovac says the band has received "generous" offers to tour in both the United States and United Kingdom.

"We're holding buildings, sitting down and negotiating with everyone, but nothing is done," Kovac added. So what is done? "I know there's a [new] single and I know there's a video," he said. "And they're getting great response, which will help get this [tour] done. But I assure you there isn't anything happening in front of the Whisky on Monday."

Kovac added, "This is MÖTLEY CRÜE we're talking about. Everyone is expecting a concert, and a wrestling match may break out."

The logo of national arena promoter AEG Live appears on a widely distributed invitation/banner ad that teases "coming soon to an arena near you," as does that of Island Records, though Kovac claims, "in 30 years I've never gone with a national promoter."

Former MÖTLEY CRÜE singer John Corabi's authorized autobiography is finished, and is reportedly being bid over by several publishers. Expect a summer 2005 release date. In April 2005, co-author Jake Brown will begin work with HANOI ROCKS members Michael Monroe and Andy McCoy on the band's authorized autobiography. In other rock biography news, the Brown-authored "Behind the Boards Volume One", the first installment of a three-volume rock producers anthology, will be released in March 2005. "Volume One" features interviews with producers Scott Humphrey (ROB ZOMBIE, MÖTLEY CRÜE, METHODS OF MAYHEM) with Tommy Lee, Andy Johns (LED ZEPPELIN, THE ROLLING STONES, VAN HALEN, JOE SATRIANI), Bob Ezrin (PINK FLOYD, KISS, ALICE COOPER), Tom Werman (MÖTLEY CRÜE, CHEAP TRICK, POISON, TWISTED SISTER, TED NUGENT), Dave Jerden (JANE'S ADDICTION, ALICE IN CHAINS, SOCIAL DISTORTION), and James Michael (MEATLOAF, MÖTLEY CRÜE, SAMMY HAGAR).

MÖTLEY CRÜE's new single, "If I Die Tomorrow" (Island/IDJMG) has been posted online in streaming audio at AOL.com. Listen to it at this location (http://search.aol.com/aolcom/av?query=motley&invocationType=avTab./aolcom/jsp/search.jsp).

A new band photo has been posted online.

"We want to thank you in advance for kicking this song in the ass," bassist Nikki Sixx said in an online posting. "I hope you all love it as much as we do. AOL has it right now on First Listen. Keyword: Motley.

"Also, yes, I co-wrote the song with the guys in SIMPLE PLAN. Thanks... See ya around."


NOTE: You have to install some sort of AOL music player to hear the song, but it only takes a few seconds (literally).

Back to the Vince Neil plastic surgery thing for a sec... the above picture looks like the same old Vince to me... minus a few pounds. But really, forget about Vince for a second. If they are spending all that money to make the band look better... shouldn't something be done about Mick Marrs? He has been and will continue to be one of the most haggard men in rock (following Zakk Wylde, Geddy Lee and Dio).

[muthagoose]

Several brand new photos of the reunited MÖTLEY CRÜE have been posted at Launch. Check them out at:

musicfinder.yahoo.com/artist/photos/1800097222

Muthagoose Retracts earlier statement: "Apparently, Vince has had quite a lot of plastic surgery. I apologize for my earlier statement regarding Mick Marrs being the most haggard man in rock... he lost his spot to the freaky new Michael Jackson-esque Vince Neil."

[LotB]

I'll have to say that I can see Vince looking freaky in the above photo. Same old? I think not.

MÖTLEY CRÜE/BRIDES OF DESTRUCTION bassist Nikki Sixx has posted the following message to the "Diary" section of CRÜE's official web site:

"Today we were hanging out and Tommy [Lee] said something that made a lot of sense to us. He said, 'You know, sometimes you go into something thinking it's gonna be the way it used to be, but when you finally get there, it's not what you expected.'

"On that note… I think it's fair to say we've been having a good time getting our feet wet. Thanks for the support on 'if i die tomorrow'. We feel it's a breath of fresh air for us. We've always been about doing the unexpected.

"So what's next?

"Live?"
