Motley Crue — Saints Of Los Angeles

The 2008 version of Motley Crue isn't so much a band as it is a brand name, having spawned a label imprint (Motley Records), a summer festival (CrueFest) and an autobiography (The Dirt) that will be made into a feature film in 2009. If the last couple of tours are any indication, CrueFest will be a hit. The Dirt was a delightfully sleazy New York...

Aerosmith Not Content To Play Out The String

Aerosmith and Motley Crue share similar histories. The former set the bar high for sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll in the '70s, while the latter took that bar, flatlined after a heroin overdose, then signed it out of the hospital to cook up a fresh eight ball. Since those tumultuous years, however, both groups have rebounded from drug and alcohol...

Motley Crue — Red, White & Crue

Bilking their tragically comedic career for all it’s worth, Motley Crue release yet another greatest hits package with Red, White & Crue. This two-CD set repackages the strongest (not necessarily "best") material from each of their eight studio albums, even including the John Corabi years and new cuts "If I Die Tomorrow,...

Brides Of Destruction — Here Come The Brides

There’s never really been an "all-star" band that has lived up to the hype. This is no exception. The Brides Of Destruction are dubious at best thanks to leaders bassist Nikki Sixx (Motley Crue) and guitarist Tracii Guns (L.A. Guns), guys who are more infamous for their touring debauchery than respected for their musical ability. That’s...

Danko Jones Animates Motley Crue

Danko Jones might have chosen a career in art if the whole rock star thing hadn't worked out for him. When he was 11, he drew an animation of Motley Crue circa Shout At The Devil, in which each letter of "CRUE" turned into one of the members. Danko appeared on Nikki Sixxi's Studio Sixxness radio show back in January to talk about the animation,...
