Motley Crue

A series of country stars -- and one surprise classic-rock guest -- are interpreting 15 Motley Crue songs.

A surprising story broke this week when it was revealed by Billy Corgan that Motley Crue's Tommy Lee would be playing drums on the Smashing Pumpkins' upcoming full-length 'Monuments to an Elegy.' This means current Pumpkins drummer Mike Byrne won't be featured on the record, but Corgan has just released a statement explaining why Lee was recruited.

A good rock beef will definitely generate headlines, but the recent back-and-forth between Stryper's Michael Sweet and Motley Crue's Nikki Sixx may not go any further. Sweet has offered a response after Sixx offered a sharp take on Sweet's criticism of Motley Crue's past autobiography, 'The Dirt.'

Frontman Billy Corgan says Tommy Lee appears on all nine songs from the Smashing Pumpkins' forthcoming 'Monuments To An Elegy.'

We knew the bad blood between Motley Crue's Nikki Sixx and Godsmack went deep, but an entirely new part of the story has just been revealed. From the Crue bassist's own mouth, it was shared that Motley Crue, at one point, threatened to pull out of approximately 15 headlining festival spots if Godsmack were to be added onto the various bills.

It looks as though Motley Crue will have a new song coinciding with the dates for their 'Final Tour.' Bassist Nikki Sixx and guitarist Mick Mars spoke with Guitar World about their future plans and revealed that there is indeed a new track in the works.

Their producer breaks the news that the band are working on the last song to coincide with their farewell tour.

Motley Crue frontman Vince Neil has joined a group of others to buy the Jacksonville Sharks, and plans to move the Arena Football League team to his hometown of Las Vegas.

One of the most interesting North American festivals has just released its 2014 lineup. The ninth annual PNR Amnesia Rockfest will hit its massive festival crowd on June 20 + 21 with acts such as Motley Crue, Megadeth, Alice in Chains, Blink-182, Mastodon + many more.

Since forming in 1981, Motley Crue's lineup has remained relatively stable. While both Vince Neil and Tommy Lee tried their hands at solo careers, they were eventually brought back into the fold. Recently, Mick Mars revealed that he came dangerously close to quitting during the recording of 1997's 'Generation Swine,'

This week's 'That Metal Show' will feature a pair of rockers who have kept the rock spirit alive in four different decades. The main panel guest of the night will be Motley Crue's Mick Mars. The guitarist, making his first ever appearance on the show, will also be joined by Cinderella frontman Tom Keifer, who is also promoting his new 'The Way Life Goes' solo album.

Some of country music's biggest acts have come together to cover a batch of Motley Crue classics for an upcoming tribute album -- and if that sounds like a weird idea to you, Vince Neil knows exactly how you feel.
