Mötley Crüe made headlines on April 23, 2024, when they inked a deal with Big Machine Records. Just three days later, fans were treated to “Dogs of War,” the band’s first release in half a decade and their inaugural track featuring John 5. According to Neil’s interview with Billboard that month, more music from Mötley Crüe might hit the airwaves by late 2024 or in 2025. However, Neil hinted that this new material might come in the form of singles rather than a complete album, suggesting a staggered release approach.

About Motley Crue:


Mötley Crüe emerged from the vibrant music scene of Hollywood, California in 1981. Founded by bassist Nikki Sixx and drummer Tommy Lee, the band quickly solidified its lineup with guitarist Mick Mars and lead vocalist Vince Neil. Together, they embarked on a wild ride through the realms of rock and roll, leaving an impressive mark on the music industry.

One of the band’s most staggering achievements is their staggering album sales, surpassing 100 million copies worldwide. This incredible success is underscored by seven platinum or multi-platinum certifications, showcasing their immense popularity and enduring impact on rock music.

From their early days, Mötley Crüe was synonymous with the rockstar lifestyle, embodying hedonism and rebellion. Their androgynous personas and wild antics both on and off stage became legendary, adding to their allure and mystique.

Musically, Mötley Crüe traversed various subgenres within rock, starting with their hard rock and heavy metal roots evident in albums like “Too Fast for Love” (1981) and “Shout at the Devil” (1983). Their evolution into glam metal with the release of “Theatre of Pain” (1985) marked a significant shift, catapulting them into the first wave of glam metal bands.

The band’s live performances were as electrifying as their music, featuring extravagant elements such as flame thrower guitars, roller coaster drum kits, and jaw-dropping pyrotechnics. These spectacles added a theatrical dimension to their shows, captivating audiences worldwide.

Despite their immense success, Mötley Crüe faced challenges and lineup changes over the years. Lead vocalist John Corabi temporarily replaced Vince Neil from 1992 to 1996, and drummers Randy Castillo and Samantha Maloney filled in for Tommy Lee during his hiatus from the band in 1999. However, Lee returned in 2004, solidifying the classic lineup once again.

In a bittersweet turn, after 41 years of musical excellence, Mick Mars announced his retirement from touring with the band in October 2022. His departure marked the end of an era, yet the band’s spirit remains vibrant as they continue to create new music and tour, with John 5 stepping in to take the stage alongside the remaining members.

Mötley Crüe’s enduring legacy is not just in their record-breaking sales or elaborate performances but in the indelible mark they’ve left on rock history. Their influence resonates through generations of rock enthusiasts, cementing their status as one of the most iconic bands in music history.
