Mötley Crüe has had attention-grabbing previous decade. The band introduced their breakup in 2014 by signing a “cessation of touring settlement” and performed their “ultimate” present at Staples Middle in Los Angeles, CA on December 31, 2015.
Then in 2018, Mötley Crüe reconvened to document 4 new songs for his or her biopic The Dust. Rumors began circulating in 2019 {that a} reunited Mötley Crüe and Def Leppard would hit the street for a large tour, which was finally confirmed and commenced in 2022 due to COVID. Extra lately, Mötley Crüe guitarist Mick Mars retired from the band as a touring member in 2022 and was changed by John 5.
Mötley Crüe and Def Leppard are presently out on the street once more, and bassist Nikki Sixx assures everybody that it isn’t a farewell tour. Removed from it, really. In an interview with A Rádio Rock carried out this previous December (and uploaded on March 7), Sixx mentioned he and the band want to preserve going till their 50th anniversary in 2031.
“We simply did these 4 songs for The Dust soundtrack,” mentioned Sixx. “We’re just about locked down proper now. We’re having conversations past [2023]. So what’s ’24 seem like for us in a touring capability? So far as new music — I believe new music at all times comes when the band is getting alongside. We get alongside so nice proper now. We have been having one of the best time. We spend time collectively. We exit to dinner.
“Tommy simply had his 60th-birthday celebration [in October] down in Mexico, and he invited a small group of his superb buddies. And I used to be there, and a bunch of cool Tommy‘s buddies. All of our wives have been there. John 5 got here in. And it was simply cool to have the ability to not discuss enterprise, be in rehearsal, get on the telephone, discuss in regards to the picture shoot or the video. It was simply hanging out, strolling on the seaside. And we had some candy conversations.
“Me and Tommy and Vince had this dialog. I mentioned, ‘What are you guys doing for the subsequent eight years?’ And all people’s laughing: ‘I do not know.’ I mentioned ‘Why do not we simply preserve going? Let’s simply take it to 50 [years].’ So this is not a ultimate tour. What does that seem like? I don’t know. I am simply telling you, you’ve got the band saying, ‘We’re having a blast. Why cease?'”
It is attention-grabbing that Sixx leaves the door open for change sooner or later, saying “What does [the future] seem like? I don’t know.” Although above all, and regardless of opinions circulating on the web, if Mötley Crüe and the followers are having fun with themselves then go for it – stick round till 2031 or past. And for many who don’t love what they’re seeing or listening to, not going to a present or listening is an possibility too.
