What did you do on New Year’s Eve? Probably made out with someone at midnight and threw up around 2am, right? If you’re Motley Crue, you played your final show together. More specifically, if you’re drummer Tommy Lee, you got suspended upside down during your final drum solo, then finished the show without the rest […]

AC/DC defied the odds 36 years ago when they recorded one of the most iconic rock albums of all time, Back In Black, with the late (and very beloved) Bon Scott’s replacement Brian Johnson. Now they’re taking a similar gamble by bringing in Axl Rose to fill in for a sidelined Johnson on the road. […]

It all started with a tweet. When a fan asked via Twitter whether he was ever considered to replace Vince Neil in Motley Crue in 1992, Sebastian Bach responded saying “Not considered.

The Arizona Diamondbacks were already losing, but when their sound guy accidentally played a second of the intro of Mötley Crüe’s “Kickstart My Heart” yesterday, it startled pitcher J.J.

The Mötley Crüe/KISS tour just cant catch a break. Actually, it can, but it’s Vince Neil’s foot. Following the postponement of a show last week after one of the pyro trucks overturned, Neil sustained two fractures in his foot while performing on September 12 in Cleveland.
