MÖTLEY CRÃœE: New Song Available For Streaming - Apr. 11, 2008 

A new MÖTLEY CRÜE song, entitled "Saints of Los Angeles", is being streamed exclusively at Spinner.com. The song is expected to be the first single off the band's ninth album, "The Dirt", which is tentatively due on July 8. The single will arrive at radio stations in early May.

Several registered members of MÖTLEY CRÜE's official message board previously commented on a 28-second leak of "Saints of Los Angeles", with one fan describing the track as "definitely that elusive cross between 'Shout at the Devil' and 'Dr. Feelgood' we always heard about." Another board user writes, "[it] reminds be a bit of the 'Sick Love Song' [a track that was included on MÖTLEY CRÜE's two-CD 'greatest hits' collection, 'Red, White & Crüe' in 2005] style of material, but has a 'Wildside' vibe. I'm glad to see the CRÜE go back to a classic/heavy sound while not sounding like 'New Tattoo' [2000]. This is the style they should stay in."

"The Dirt" is based on the band's 2001 memoir of the same name and will be its first all-new studio effort since 2000's "New Tattoo". 1997's "Generation Swine" was the last to feature the group's original lineup, which reunited for a successful world tour in 2005.

Although it was reported last fall that drummer Tommy Lee had again quit the CRÃœE over legal issues, he and the group have reconciled.

Bassist Nikki Sixx wrote in a recent online update, "10 songs done for the new CRÃœE album so far, I'm very proud of the songs. I think we're onto some of the better songs we've had in years...Time will tell, of course. A couple of song titles on the CRÃœE album are called 'A Scar On Hollywood Boulevard' and 'The Saints Of Los Angeles'... The chemistry in the studio as we're writing is unbelievable."

The CRÜE recently denied a post at Robin Leach's Las Vegas gossip blog which suggested that the band had signed a three-album, three-tour deal with Live Nation for $100 million. Although the source of the rumor was reportedly singer Vince Neil, bassist Nikki Sixx said in a statement, "MÖTLEY CRÜE has not signed any deals to tour or record whatsoever. Any information to the contrary is 100 percent incorrect."

The management company that represents MÖTLEY CRÜE told BLABBERMOUTH.NET that rumors about the band headlining a festival-type tour called "Cruefest" are "blatantly false and completely unfounded," although the company, 10th Street Entertainment, did admit that the band's press conference scheduled for April 15 in Los Angeles will involve at least "a few" of more than two dozen acts. Rumors began circulating about a so-called "Cruefest" after the CRÜE revealed that it will make a "colossal announcement" on April 15, with other 10th Street bands like BUCKCHERRY, DROWNING POOL and PAPA ROACH reportedly on board.

This is a really good list,It backs up what a friend & I where just talking about.
Most fans do not want VR to choose some new be Scab Weliand wanna be.
They want to see an established singer who can really keep the whole SG vibe "Alive" Personally as I have said I never got into the music with Scott,but I would never have denied he brought his "Star" with him & that's what they need. Anyone else will be ripped to shreds
by fans & critics alike....

Personally I don't see Josh Todd  leaving Buck Cheery & while Chris
Cornell  is a really good singer after the whole Audio slave who knows if he would do it.

Both Sebastian & Eric are really good choice I loved the first Snake Pit CD
But as a die hard Sebastian Bach I feel he will bring more than enough "Star Power" & undeniable talent to the table... VR are as far as I know under contract for one more CD This will be the make it or break it for the band,regardless of the out come Slash  will more than likely  remain in the spotlight.

No he did not lol,What he said was he thought Scot would be more imaginative.
And that can be looked at in 2 ways.

1 Ok Slash is  saying he is not the singer... & Scott is just being sour.

2. Scott knows fully well Sebastian is his replacement & drops the bomb to the media.

Either way I have just posted what magazines & other forms of source have said.

I could cut out the middle men & find out for sure but this is more fun.

There is a video coming for the song black betty. DMC & Baz shot the bulk of it
when Baz was on CRS. Mick Mars will be in it & rumor has it Nikki Sixx will also appear in the video.  With the impact Run DMC & Aerosmith had years ago Im wondering if DMC is shooting for the same heights with this.... Ram Jam tribute/cover..... From what I heard so far it's Bad Ass.....:beer:
