Mötley Crüe played a “secret” club show at Bowery Ballroom in New York City on Monday night (May 6th). The band had teased the concert on social media under the moniker “1981” (the year they formed), and were met with a packed house for the gig.
The 12-song set at the 600-capacity venue was mostly filled with the Crüe’s best-known tunes like “Looks That Kill,” “Shout at the Devil,” “Dr. Feelgood,” “Girls, Girls, Girls,” and the closing number, “Kickstart My Heart.” The band also played its new single, “Dogs of War” (their first song featuring new guitarist John 5), as well as a covers medley featuring tunes by The Beatles, Ramones, Sex Pistols, Beastie Boys, and more.

Mick Mars scored a victory in his ongoing legal battle with Mötley Crüe Tuesday when a Los Angeles judge agreed that the rock veterans had unjustly “refused” to cough up the dirt on its wide-ranging business dealings as it simultaneously sought to oust its founding guitarist early last year.
In a new court ruling obtained by Rolling Stone, the judge said the band’s stonewalling left Mars with no choice but to sue for the corporate documents last April. The Los Angeles judge noted that after the filing, the band...

Mötley Crüe frontman Vince Neil’s performance at the Oklahoma State Fair on Saturday (September 23rd) was cut short due a shooting at the fairgrounds.
Neil and his band were evacuated to a nearby dressing room, and one fair attendee was taken to an area hospital in critical condition as the result of what police described as an isolated shooting incident between two groups of people. The dispute happened just a few hundred feet from the stage.
Neil recounted the turn of events in a post on X (formerly Twitter): “At a concert in Oklahoma City Crazy night last night. 3/4 of the way thru the set people started running. We we’re told to get in dressing room. There were shooters shooting people. Thank you fans for your understanding.”
He added, “Thankfully we are all okay. Thanks to everyone who came out. Please stay safe!”
Neil’s set began at 8 p.

In Jan. 2023, Priscilla Presley and Lisa Marie Presley went out to celebrate Austin Butler’s Golden Globe win for Elvis. This would be the final time Presley saw her daughter before her death two days later. Presley said that while she had fun with Lisa Marie, she knew that something was wrong.

“We had just gotten there, you go down all these stairs,” Presley told The Hollywood Reporter. “I tripped a little bit because I had these high heels on, and she started laughing so hard. I started laughing. We hadn’t even had a drink yet. She goes, ‘Oh my God, Mom, you can’t even have a drink.

MTV doesn’t air as many music videos as they used to, but the MTV Video Music Awards are still one of the most anticipated music events of each year. However, while the Grammys are voted on by the industry insiders who make up the Recording Academy, the VMAs have been decided by fans since 2006 (except for below-the-line professional categories like Best Direction and Best Cinematography). So who are the biggest winners of all time at these awards? Scroll down to see the most honored artists in history.
The VMA Moon Person trophies themselves are often overshadowed by the show’s drama and spectacle. Much of that spectacle comes from performances, like legendary provocateur Madonna performing “Like a Virgin” dressed as a bride in a bustier at the very first ceremony in 1984. She also famously sang “Vogue” dressed as Marie Antoinette in 1990, and she kissed Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears...

Adapting the biography of a singular figure is hard enough, but how do you adapt the autobiography of a band? Bassist Nikki Sixx, guitarist Mick Mars, drummer Tommy Lee, and Vince Neil joined forces to make Mötley Crüe, one of the most successful bands of the 1980s and well-documented hedonist troublemakers.
In 2001, all four members of the band along with Neil Strauss released an autobiography called "The Dirt," describing the group as "the world's most notorious rock band." The book shot to the top 10 on the New York Times Best Seller list and stayed there for 10 weeks. On a personal note, I used the book as the subject of my own freshman year biography project book report in 2004, when I showed up to school dressed like Nikki Sixx and delivered my presentation in full character ... much to my teacher's chagrin.
In 2019, Netflix adapted "The Dirt" with "Jackass" creator and director Jeff Tremaine at the helm,...

In early May, we travelled to Nashville to spend a couple of days with Mick Mars and hear about his bitter departure from Mötley Crüe. Mars stepped away from the touring unit in late 2022 after 41 years in the group he co-founded. He’d been suffering from the debilitating bone disease ankylosing spondylitis for decades, and life on the road simply became too painful to endure. In his telling, they used this as an excuse to violate legal agreements and deny him his share of band proceeds. The matter is currently...

Mick Mars is fed up over his legal battle with Mötley Crüe, but the founding member of the band is willing to do whatever it takes to sustain his legacy.
Since the lead guitarist retired from touring with the heavy metal group last October due to his worsening health, he believes his former bandmates — Vince Neil, Nikki Sixx, and Tommy Lee — have been trying to axe his legacy.
In April 2023, Mars, 72, filed a lawsuit against his ex-bandmates for attempting to remove him from the group last year, an exit he claims was involuntary.

Rock’n’roll musicians have a habit of thinking of themselves like secular gods, but the truth is they’re not infallible. No matter how successful a band may or may not have been in the past, there’s never any guarantee their next record will live up to the heights they’ve previously scaled. Sometimes, everything that once went right just all goes wrong.
There are often extenuating circumstances, of course. Band members may leave due to death, drugs or just good old-fashioned “musical differences”, or an ambitious new direction may turn out to be more like a swerve into oncoming traffic.
Whatever the cause, the fact remains that just because an album has the name of a classic band slapped across the cover, it doesn’t necessarily follow that the album itself will be a classic.

The ’80s and ’90s were a tumultuous time for rock music, especially for Mötley Crüe. Lead singer Vince Neil infamously left the band in 1992. He says that when he was fired, he was in “complete shock.” But one Mötley Crüe member recalls Neil’s departure differently.

Neil joined Mötley Crüe in 1981 after the band saw him perform with the group Rock Candy. Drummer Tommy Lee had known Neil from high school and encouraged his bandmates to check Neil out, sure the singer’s image would match Mötley Crüe.

The situation between Mötley Crüe and guitarist Mick Mars has turned litigious, with Mars suing his bandmates over his claims that he’s being forced out of the band.
It all started in October 2022 when Mars issued a statement announcing he was retiring from touring with the band, due to his ongoing struggle with Ankylosing Spondylitis, a degenerative disease that affects the spine.
According to legal documents obtained by Variety, Mars is accusing the other members of the band — singer Vince Neil, bassist Nikki Sixx and drummer Tommy Lee — of “gaslighting” him in an attempt to kick him out of the band.

Mick Mars is turning up the heat in his legal fight with Mötley Crüe, saying in a new interview that he “carried those bastards for years.”
“Those guys have been hammering on me since ’87, trying to replace me,” Mars told Variety. They haven’t been able to do that, because I’m the guitar player. I helped form this band. It’s my name I came up with [the Mötley Crüe moniker], my ideas, my money that I had from a backer to start this band. It wouldn’t have gone anywhere.”
This week, Mars filed a lawsuit against Mötley Crüe over a dispute his share of profits. Mars specifically alleges that he was “unilaterally” removed from the band after announcing his retirement from touring due to ongoing struggles with an arthritic disease called ankylosing spondylitis. As a result, his profit share was cut from 25 percent to a five percent.

Mötley Crüe has never been shy about sharing the dirt, but guitarist Mick Mars has revealed one big secret his bandmates may have wanted kept quiet.
According to a profits participation lawsuit filed Thursday by the 71-year-old six-stringer in Los Angeles Superior Court, Nikki Sixx, Vince Neil and Tommy Lee have been fake-playing and pre-recorded some of their vocals for the tour. The allegation from Mars not only puts the self-described “world’s most notorious band” in an uncomfortable spotlight, but it also may not go down so well with the millions of fans paying Sixx, Neil, Lee and new touring guitarist John 5 big bucks to see them on tour this year.

Heavy metal fans are confident they know the identity of Doll on The Masked Singer. Doll made his debut on ’80s Night, along with Moose and Scorpio, who were sent home after revealing themselves. Meanwhile, Doll won the night’s King of The Masked Singer title, so his identity remains a mystery. Based on his voice, height, and the clues, though, many Masked Singer viewers are sure Doll is Twisted Sister lead vocalist Dee Snider. Here’s all the evidence.

There was a time that Ozzy Osbourne was considered the most wildly unpredictable, dangerous man in heavy metal. This was the guy that bit the head off a live bat during a concert in 1982, drank Vince Neil’s urine and snorted a line of ants like cocaine amid a bender. The former Black Sabbath front-man was a legend, to the point that many of us, as kids, weren’t allowed to listen to his music or – God Forbid – watch his music videos.
But here’s the thing – Ozzy mellowed. First, in the late eighties/early nineties, he became more of a conventional metal guy with his killer album, No More Tears, but that was nothing compared to how, in the early 2000s, he became an unlikely pioneer of reality TV.

During those hazy, heady, hair-heavy days of glam metal in the Eighties, one could maybe be forgiven for occasionally mistaking one massive-mulleted band for another at first glance. But 40 years later, it looks like Amazon Prime Video has committed the victimless — but instantly meme-able — sin of not just confusing two groups, but two groups from two completely different eras also don’t exactly have the best relationship: The poster for the 2020 doc Rock ‘n Roll Icon: Mötley Crüe does not feature a photo of Mötley Crüe, but rather contemporary hair metal revivalists/satirists,...

To the surprise of everyone on his team, Mike Patton wants to talk about how his life derailed over the last few years. “It’s funny because my manager and publicist were like, ‘Do you want to talk about mental health [in an interview]?’” he says. “’They’re gonna ask you these questions. We can say no.’ And I’m like, ‘No. Let them ask what they want. I got nothing [to hide].’ It actually helps to talk about this shit, you know?”

Billy Joel performed at Detroit’s Comerica Park on July 9, just one night before the Mötley Crüe/Def Leppard/Poison/Joan Jett mega tour hit the same venue. It happened to be a night off for the Eighties hard rock groups, and Joel brought out one of the lead singers to give his audience a little preview of what they could expect the following night.
As much as we would have loved to see Vince Neil team up with Joel for “Girls, Girls, Girls” or Bret Michaels and the Piano...

Scott Sternberg Productions today announced the launch of a new documentary division and the acquisition of Strong Island Films.
The first project under Ssp’s new division, Mötley Crüe’s Vince Neil: My Story, will premiere this Sunday on Reelz. Sternberg directed the documentary in which the lead singer of the legendary heavy metal band, in his own words, “details what led him to music, the formation and early days of Mötley Crüe, surviving his hardest party days and how he navigated the road to superstardom.” Neil and Sternberg are executive producers of the film.
The two-hour doc, featuring interviews with Neil’s son and daughter, as well as bandmates Tommy Lee and Nikki Sixx, and others, takes an “incredibly candid” view of the musician’s “much publicized setbacks — from the heartbreak of losing a young child to being arrested for driving under the influence after causing a crash that killed his friend.

In the finale of Hulu’s “Pam & Tommy,” based on the vastly different experiences of Pamela Anderson Lee and Tommy Lee during their sex tape scandal, Lee’s group Mötley Crüe performs a promotional gig in a Tower Records parking lot, pinned to their “Generation Swine” album. The song they perform is “Crüe-by-numbers,” even if you can’t quite place it. A Shazam tap reveals the song is actually “She Says Yeah Yeah,” and the singers are Sebastian Stan (who plays Lee), Sam Meader and Zack Gold, not Mötley Crüe.
In fact, there aren’t any Mötley Crüe songs in the series, partly due to financial constraints, according to Amanda Krieg Thomas, the show’s music supervisor. Mainly, however, she notes that it never felt like there was a need for one — with the exception of the one scene.

Dolly Parton is a great American, but she’s big in Australia, too, and she means the world to the heroine of “Seriously Red,” a deceptively modest vehicle for Krew Boylan, who plays the lead here and also wrote the script.
What starts out as a crowd-pleaser about an awkward woman who becomes a Dolly impersonator gradually reveals itself as a fairly serious examination of how confidence can be gained through such impersonation, but only up to a point.
Boylan and her director Gracie Otto (the 2021 documentary “Under the Volcano”) truly love Parton, and “Seriously Red” is studded with Dolly quotes, both in dialogue form and in on-screen title cards. “Storms make trees take deeper roots,” quotes Boylan’s Red, a good-hearted but rather lost woman who is living in her mother’s garage and floundering at her current job in finance. Jobs never seem to last long for Red,...

The first three episodes of Pam & Tommy are available now on Hulu, and so far viewers have seen Tommy Lee do quite a few things. They’ve seen him lick Pamela Anderson’s face seconds after meeting her at a club, follow her down to Cancun for a Baywatch promotional event, and marry her just days later. They’ve also seen him pull a gun on a contractor (played by Seth Rogen) who winds up stealing a homemade sex tape from his house. And in one of the more memorable moments,...

Exclusive: Daniel Webber is set to star opposite Tom Blyth in Billy the Kid, Epix’s hourlong drama series written by Vikings and The Tudors creator Michael Hirst.

It definitely looks as though a lot of effort goes into making Vince Neil a standout for his Police Academy cameo only to have the scene cut and left behind, but leading up to the appearance everyone appears to be in good spirits. It does tend to help that at this point in his career Vince was on a high note in his career as Dr. Feelgood would come out too long after and since Police Academy 6 flopped, it’s likely that not being seen in the movie was a big up for Vince’s career.

For someone that was married to Vince Neil, who’s been famous and infamous throughout his career, you might think that there would be more on his former wife Sharise Ruddell, but it’s hard to find a lot when most of the articles popping up tend to be about Vince and the unfortunate fate of their daughter Skylar. Reading the articles that do go into at least a little detail about Sharise is enough to make one wonder if anyone has any real information on her or if they’re simply picking up secondhand information from somewhere since it’s entirely flattering and

The recent announcement of the upcoming Mötley Crüe/Poison/Def Leppard tour inspired pangs of hair-metal nostalgia among a certain generation. But there’s another, perhaps more important reason to celebrate the news: It marks yet another moment in the return of the umlaut, one of rock’s most wonderfully deranged obsessions.

Not only does the band have 50 years of hits, fan favorites, deep cuts, and beloved covers to cram into a roughly 90-minute show, but all five original members are still in the group, and each has his own ideas about how exactly to pull it off. “There’s a lot of back and forth,” says guitarist Brad Whitford. “Sometimes it happens in 30 seconds and other times it’s 10 minutes of everyone saying,...

In 1984, a man named Kurt Jefferis nearly partied to death with Van Halen. Jefferis was the winner of MTV’s “Lost Weekend” contest and his prize was a few days of debauchery on the road with the Eighties metal legends. The promotion was a massive success for MTV, which aired much of the mayhem, including the moment Van Halen brought Jefferis on stage, smashed his face into a giant cake and showered him with champagne. But there was also plenty of footage not suitable for broadcast: Van Halen and their...

In Netflix's new music biopic The Dirt, a quartet of up-and-coming performers tackle a huge challenge: portraying the notoriously controversial rock band Mötley Crüe. Some of the cast members came in with musical knowledge already: rapper Machine Gun Kelly tackled the role of drummer Tommy Lee, while Game of Thrones's Iwan Rheon (portraying guitarist Mick Mars) is a singer-songwriter with a 2015 album to his name. One cast member without the benefit of existing musical experience, though, was Daniel Webber, who plays lead singer Vince Neil. So, is it actually Webber's voice we hear in the movie? Yes - sort of.
According to Thrillist, the four lead actors underwent crash courses in music and performance so that they could more accurately portray the rockers.
"Daniel had a vocal coach, Douglas had a bass coach, and Iwan had a guitar guy who would come over and sit with him," says director Jeff Tremaine.

The Netflix biopic The Dirt covers the early days of the heavy metal band Mötley Crüe, from their founding through their early days of success. The four-man band was founded in the early 1980s, when its members were young men just starting out their careers, though it's a running joke in the film that Mick Mars is an "old man" compared to the rest of the crew.
While Mötley Crüe devotees can cite plenty of trivia about the band, the exact age of lead guitarist Mars is not one of those facts that can be easily pinpointed, as there's some confusion as to when he was actually born. His birth name is Robert Alan Deal, but his birth date has been reported two different ways. Some sources report that he was born on May 4, 1951, while others claim a later birthday of April 4, 1955. Mars himself has not clarified, and at this point,...

If you thought Bohemian Rhapsody was wild, then you need to check out The Dirt, the latest rock band biopic that just premiered on Netflix. Based on Mötley Crüe's bestselling 2001 autobiography The Dirt: Confessions of the World's Most Notorious Rock Band, this long-awaited biopic follows the story of the heavy metal band's rise from obscurity to super stardom and international fame during the course of the 1980s, and it's as insane as you would imagine.
The book boasts some of the grittiest and most disturbing tales of drugs, alcohol, and groupies that you could imagine - for instance, Vince Neil really did crash his car, and believe it or not, Nikki Sixx's overdose was even worse than the movie portrays. But here's one thing that people seriously can't believe is true: did Ozzy Osbourne really drink Nikki Sixx's urine? We're sorry to say that yes, that really did happen,...

Netflix's "behind the music" movie The Dirt follows rock band Mötley Crüe in their early days, when they were fully engrossed in both their music and in a hard-partying, drug-fueled, often unsettling lifestyle. Their 2001 autobiography, The Dirt: Confessions of the World's Most Notorious Rock Band, became a bestseller and inspired the Netflix film. In the book, lead singer Vince Neil opened up about one of the most tragic events in the band's history: the night he crashed his car while driving drunk, killing a colleague and permanently injuring two strangers.
On December 8, 1984, Neil was driving to a liquor store in Hollywood, along with Razzle, the drummer of the band Hanoi Rocks. The two bands had both been at a party thrown in honor of Hanoi Rocks's first American tour (the band was from Finland), and everyone at the party had already been drinking a lot.

The song choice was tied to Vincent’s cameo appearance in Netflix’s new Crüe biopic, The Dirt, and he opened the cover with an impressive impression of lead singer Vince Neil. From there, Vincent filtered the track through the stylings of Ricky Martin’s late-Nineties Latin pop, Dean Martin’s classic crooning, the Prodigy’s big beat electro,...
