Everyone Is On Board For Motley Crue Reunion

Former MÖTLEY CRÜE singer Vince Neil sat down exclusively with MuchMoreMusic's Bill Welychka in Buffalo, NY last week and cleared up recent rumors of a possible reunion/farewell tour.

"Two weeks ago in L.A., Tommy (Lee), Nikki (Sixx), myself and Mick (Mars) by phone sat in a room together with all the attorneys to see if we even wanted to do this," said Neil. "The fans are asking for it and I think it's time. It's a good thing and a good time to put a 'period' on the MÖTLEY CRÜE story. After, we'll call it quits and go back to doing what we've been doing for the past few years. It'll be closure for me — and this won't go on to be seven or eight 'farewell tours' like KISS or CHER... Everyone is on board and 95% committed. It's definitely time."

With sales upwards of the 40 million mark, the band battled well-documented years of drug abuse and mounting legal troubles. Neil contends, however, that this is a wiser and healthier MÖTLEY CRÜE.

The last time the four original members toured together was 1999, before personality differences forced the band off the road. MÖTLEY CRÜE toured again in 2000 without Tommy Lee. The upcoming tour is slated to last close to two years, and will most likely commence in February 2005.

I don't even think it was real hysteria. Seemed more like media-generated hype to me. I think they can have as successessful a tour now as any time, as far as reunions go.

Woohoo, glam's making a comeback...wasn't there a reason we stopped listening to this sh** in the early 90s? Oh that's right 'cause people finally heard Alice in Chains and Soundgarden. That and glam sucks so bad.

I think it will be awesome. I love the Crue, and I'd give anything to go. I think it will be so great, and Hair Metal is the best music out there, so this is a big deal for me, giving Motley Crue is my favorite band.

no that was slayer f***tard.

pantera was only hair metal for 5 years and then they picked up phil and went more towards power/thrash metal before they became the greatest band ever.

motley crue could quite possibly be the most annoying band of all time

motley crue did more crap than pretty much any other band in the 8os, from overdosing on heroin and almost dying, only to go home and do more heroin, to totalling porches, ferraris, and corvettes every other day, to having one of the most insane acts on stage before they were even signed. if you dont like the crue, then stop wasting your time. i dont go talk trash about how metallica's been going downhill for the past 3 albums, and about how they basically sold out to their record company and lawyers.
