MOTLEY CRUE TO PERFORM DR. FEELGOOD IN ITS ENTIRETY ON CRUE FEST 2 TO CELEBRATE ALBUM'S 20TH ANNIVERSARY

RE-RELEASE OF LIMITED EDITON DR. FEELGOOD ALBUM LATER THIS SPRING

Motley Crue announced today they will perform the entire album, Dr. Feelgood, from beginning to end at every performance on their Summer festival tour, Crue Fest 2. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the release of Dr. Feelgood, which became the Crue's first #1 album on the Billboard charts. To celebrate the anniversary, the band plans to theme the second edition of their festival tour with imagery inspired by Dr. Feelgood. Motley Crue will reveal details of the tour at a major press conference from the Fuse TV studios on March 16th in New York City and Fuse will air press conference highlights at 9pm ET/PT that evening.


Eleven Seven Music/Motley Records will re-release Dr. Feelgood later this spring. Originally released on September 1, 1989, Dr. Feelgood reached #1 on the Billboard Charts and went on to sell more than 7 million copies worldwide, producing 5 Billboard Hot 100 hits. The title track which reached #7 on the Hot 100 and earned the band their first two Grammy nominations (Best Hard Rock Performance: "Dr Feelgood" in 1989 and "Kickstart My Heart" in 1990).

Notes Motley Crue's Nikki Sixx, "On this summer's Crue Fest we really wanted to give the fans something they've never seen before. And since its the 20th Anniversary of the release of Dr. Feelgood, we figured what better way to celebrate than to play it live TOP TO BOTTOM every night."

Dr. Feelgood Track listing:

1. T.n.T. (Terror 'n Tinseltown)
2. Dr. Feelgood
3. Slice Of Your Pie
4. Rattlesnake Shake
5. Kickstart My Heart
6. Without You
7. Same Ol' Situation (S.O.S.)
8. Sticky Sweet
9. She Goes Down
10. Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)
11. Time For A Change

wow, i couldn't imagine a less appealling tour.

way to give your thoughts on a lineup that hasn't been announced yet.

How can you top a lineup as stellar as Motley Crue, Buckcherry, Papa Roach, Sixx:A.M. and Trapt? Maybe this year they can convince Limp Bizkit to join their travelling freak show of irrellevent meathead rock.

Too bad Dr. Feelgood had some shit songs like "She Goes Down" and "Time For a Change". Otherwise, I'd probably be interested. Although I would like to hear "Sticky Sweet", "Slice of Your Pie" and "Rattlesnake Shake" all done live.

i get it. Good rock music scares you.
No worries, I got your hookup!

Tommy Lee Plots Methods Of Mayhem Album


January 21, 2009 10:49 AM ET

Gary Graff, Detroit
Tommy Lee is ready for a little mayhem -- and not just with Motley Crue.

The drummer, who kicks off the Crue's Saints of Los Angeles Tour on Jan. 31 in Indio, Calif., tells Billboard.com that he's started work on his second Methods of Mayhem album, following up the group's platinum 1999 debut.

DJ Aero and guitarist Kai Marcus are still on board, and Lee's producing partner Scott Humphrey "is starting to get involved" as the songs are formulating.

"We're just getting all the ideas together now," reports Lee, who released two solo projects -- 2002's "Never a Dull Moment" and 2005's "Tommyland: The Ride" -- since the "Methods of Mayhem" album. "We're gonna start tracking as soon as Motley is done (touring) at the end of March, and hopefully I'll have it ready by April/May and done by the top of June."

He describes the new material "as out of control ... pretty new and crazy-sounding. There's some ridiculously banging hard rock tunes and electro dance-rock." But, Lee adds, "There's no hip-hop anywhere around it at all." He plans to have some guests on the album, but in moderation compared to the flock of big names on "Methods of Mayhem." "I'm just gonna be mindful of how many and where their parts are," Lee explains, "so they're not major parts that'll be missed when we go and play live."

Lee says he wouldn't mind having Methods of Mayhem on the Crue Fest II tour, which is slated to go out in July, "like Nikki (Sixx) did with Sixx AM last year. That'd be killer."

As for the rest of the Crue Fest II lineup, Lee says it's still being discussed. "There's offers going around all over the place," he says. "Rob Zombie's name came up. Godsmack. Alice Cooper. I'd like to switch it up, add a little bit more variety this year."

Lee says the movie adaptation of the Crue biography "The Dirt" is still "just trying to find all the right catalysts." He expects we're more likely to see a follow-up to 2008's Grammy-nominated "Saints of Los Angeles," which was the Crue's first set of new material in eight years.

"We haven't really talked about making a new record," Lee says, "but maybe we'll write one on the road this summer and have it ready for next winter. I don't think (the long gap) is going to happen again. That would be terrible if it did."

I'd take Miley Cyrus over those bands any day. At least her performances become tolerable with the sound off.

pedorast

id like to see the crue live

thered be a good shot i check this out if white zombie came..thatd be the shit if they played astro creep 2000 in its entirety

You have got to be fucking kidding me.

I love being a part of things labeled "white trash"

Will Tommy Lee have that suspended/rotating drum kit?

Only part of a crue show that's good! That's about it! Vince Neil's singing is aweful! Saw them here at the Metro Centre 2 year's ago. So much problems with the sound, lights, .. all around performance. Live 8, when they played Barrie, seeing them on TV just cracked me up! Well, his vocals aren't that so bad compared to AC/DC's singer. Sound's like he's taking a dump or something. lol

When I saw them on the Carnival of Sins tour and Vince did ok but towards the end of the show, you could tell he was gettin winded and only singing keywords in the song. I'm sure he's got good days and bad days.
Everyone else was on their game, even Mick.

he's always said he doesn't want to do the same setup as previous tours, but one never knows.
