Motley Crue are celebrating their 30th anniversary this summer with a North American tour alongside Poison and New York Dolls, and one thing is evident when it comes to this combination: Boring, it is not. After all, these guys are long known for their larger-than-life, amped-up live shows. It’s wild and free hair metal with a bad-boy, rabble-rousing reputation.
Singer Vince Neil couldn’t agree more that the Crue are all about a killer stage production.
“Most bands forget that this is entertainment, and you’ve got to put a show on,” he told Ultimate Classic Rock. “Most of these bands are content to wear jeans and a t-shirt, and just stand there and play their music. Which is kind of missing the point.”
He added that shows are supposed to be fun: “That’s why all those ’90s bands disappeared – they were … depressing people.”
Neil also went onto reveal that Motley Crue plan to release a new record in the “next year or so.” Moreover, after taking this summer off, Neil promises Crue Fest 3 will be back next summer.
“I like putting out new music. I don’t think we’d ever not put out new music,” he said. “Right now, we’re just focused on touring. Once this tour starts slowing down, then we’ll start putting some stuff together and put a record out...”
