Motley Crue Reveals 'Dirt' Movie Details, Previews Final Tour & New Music

After 100 million albums, 33 years, five biographies and countless acts of corruption, the famous rock group announced in January that he would resign, while the quitting was good, and even signed a "cessation of tour "agreement that prevents you gather as Motley Crue after the end of 2015 the band was determined to do things their way - and it took no resistance as a personal rebuke - is ending its road history on their own terms.

The final offers six (x) reasons why you should watch the blaze of glory.

1. pyro Enough to beat the Terminator. Early in his career Motley was slagged as having nothing in their favor but cheap shock tactics as establishing pants bassist Nikki Sixx on fire with lighter fluid. That was a weak indication of what was to come: The band knew the early game great visuals that were crucial to his overall package. Motley Armageddon is signing with a screen size of the flames and sparks cannon that can make you think that the independence of the United States had just been declared. Once cuy pyro Sixx now uses his instrument as a flamethrower to casually spraying a pillar of fire through the middle of the stage.

2. The song list is gold. If you like vintage Motley, its apex hair-metal or post-millennium resurgence Crue will satisfy every fan of music and the enthusiasm with which it was delivered. Early 80's classic "Looks That Kill" and "Too young to fall in love" offered by "Dr. Feelgood", "Kickstart My Heart" and post-2000s "Saints of Los Angeles" and the band played nearly 20 tirelessly songs "Mutherf ---- the Year." - Motley came into this world kicking and screaming, and is proud to exit the same way. Drummer Tommy Lee hit his modest (by his standards) kit as if he was trying to punish him, and despite being hampered by a degenerative form of arthritis, guitarist Mick Mars still has full control of his deft fingers.

3. adults can unleash the rebel yell. When Motley played his hit quintessential "Shout at the Devil" (a show highlight heart pumping), thousands of mid-lifers were transported back to 1983 The reason why parents burdened by mortgages and car payments met to pump their attacks and shouting the chorus of defiant song is because, perhaps even more than when they were teenagers, center fans of Motley need an outlet - and a reminder that no matter how old they have, they can remain forever in the heart rebels.

4. This band would not survive. The explosive ending that was "Kickstart My Heart" could be an illustration of combustion drama (largely self-perpetuated) Motley has been from day one. Lethal overdoses, jail sentences, divorces, lawsuits ... the stories of numerous controversies have filled several biographies. Lee and singer Vince Neil both came out at various points, and their presence adds weight to the final race of the band. Most of the acts fail to end the day with all its original members represented; at least these guys can do well enough long for one more trip around the world.

5. But even Motley is not immune to hourglass. Believe it or not, the self-proclaimed thugs want their dignified end arc instead of a slow disintegration. Motley, which means the use of two light clad dancers spinning on stage; Mars have knit a face melting guitar solo; ripping the roof with "anarchy" evergreen strip-club "Girls, Girls, Girls" favorite "Smokin 'The Sex Pistols in the Boys Room", "and" Live Wire "and ending the night with its traditional end of" Home Sweet Home. "has never been warm and fuzzy, but seeing images of vintage band float through the giant video screens highlight how Sixx, Neil, Lee and Mars occurred in the 30-plus years of Motley.

6. Meanwhile, Alice Cooper remains forever. The Godfather of Shock Rock joined the Final Tour as special guest. At 66, Cooper said he has no plans to retire, and his stage show confirms that he should not. By custom, the Hall of Fame Rock and Roll full three guitarists, Halloween style decorations, a boa constrictor, a beheading realistic look and macabre fashion choices as a whole, as he gestured and postured their music dramatically. Backed by a very narrow band, Cooper received the party started with "Be My Frankenstein," "I'm Eighteen", "Poison" and "Welcome to My Nightmare." As he concluded his time slot with a performance of "Out of school," Cooper surprise ending was unexpected in its simplicity: instead of taking other reptile or bloody prop, the stage was bathed in a cloud of bubbles.

Metal Rockers Motley Crue Find Welcome Embrace In Nashville For Country Tribute Album

Vince Neil and Nikki Sixx have spent so much time hanging out with artists in the country for a tribute album to Motley Crue who knows how to write the classic country song.

First, the subject of a ballad country is not so far from the life of a rock 'n' roll, the blond singer said as he sat in a Nashville, Tennessee, with guitarist Sixx hotel.



"You're young and you're going to drink, get high and write songs," Neil said. "Bad things happen: you lose your wife, your house, your car."

"And you write a song about it," Sixx intervened.

Instead of a clash of cultures in the album of 15 songs, "Nashville Outlaws: A Tribute to Motley Crue", released on Tuesday, crooners Nashville countries celebrated the band of metal coated leather-hair teased whose rock anthems helped 80 define.

Backed by Big Machine Label Group CEO Scott Borchetta, who brought the album to his long list of artists including Rascal Flatts, Florida Georgia Line and Brantley Gilbert, multi-genre approach fits perfectly with the younger fans of country music, whose tastes fall around the radio dial.

Motley Crue, among his final tour in the United States and Canada, had no input in how artists or songs performed. The most outstanding performances sound very little like the original heavy electric guitar, as when LeAnn Rimes sings "Smokin 'in the Boys Room" with a horn section or when the Mavericks bring their country of Cuba defeated "Dr. Feelgood”.

Big & Rich, Darius Rucker, Gretchen Wilson and Justin Moore also appear on the album. For some of the artists were the lyrics and emotions that attracted them to the project.

"More than anything this song is the country, but southern rock," Moore said of his version of "Home Sweet Home", the first single from the album. "It's something you do not hear very often, so I'm very proud of it."

For Neil, whose father was from Texas, this is not country music rebelled against as a teenager who loved rock 'n' roll.

"I saw the Florida Georgia Line, and one of the guys has a mohawk and tattoos," Neil said. "I mean, you cannot get any more rock 'n' roll than that."

There is a song called "Hypnotized" and '10, 000 Miles, "and" Living In The Know "and" Kiss the Sky 'and' Let Us Pray '... So there are plenty of other songs that I can replace that a song.

Corabi also discussed the possibility of collaborating again with Mick Mars next solo album guitarist CRUE Mötley.”I do not know what to do musically, but at the end of the day, I love Mick Mars - which is one of human beings sweetest you'll ever meet in your life - and anything I can do to help with his solo album I'd be more than happy to do, "Corabi said.”I appreciate the fact that Mick was just stupidly support of what we did in the past, and I appreciate the talents of Mick as a guitarist and I think that is totally underrated and anything I can do to help, he is more than willing a. helping me with what I do. So we'll have to see where it goes from there. "

While he does not come out and call them liars plane is not necessarily sure that the version of events that Motley Crue hit his autobiography published in 'The Dirt' is entirely accurate.

" Is it as controversial as Motley Crue No, but I think half of what we hear about Motley Crue is BS anyway , like when you hear stories about Nikki Sixx die three times and stuff. 'S Like, 'how stretched is that? ‘“Sweet asks rhetorically.”

I do not know, man [laughs] I have nothing against Nikki Sixx. Half of the things I've read these autobiographies I just kind of roll my eyes , because I think many of these guys just do so many drugs and drank too much alcohol that their minds are not clear as to reminisce as put .

Hopefully that does not come across as me to be an idiot, but ... it's probably not going to find in my book you can found in a book of Motley Crue, and that's a good thing! [Laughs] "

From Nikki Sixx does not seem to be at a loss for words the likes of Godsmack and Sebastian Bach these days, will not be terribly surprised if he has something to say in response to Sweet.

You put out and nothing [ happens ] because now people cherry -picking songs. So come on, ' Why do not we write songs and find vehicles for one, two or four songs to ten million people instead of eleven songs hundreds of thousands. This is how we're thinking. I do not know if it's good or bad, but that's what we're thinking. "
