Motley Crue Bassist Comments On New Songs
Following yesterday's announcement that Los Angeles glam metal icons Motley Crue will be returning to record new material, bassist Nikki Sixx has taken to Twitter to confirm singer Vince Neil's Tweet, as well as the rumours that the songs will be for the forthcoming biopic, "The Dirt." Responding to a fan, Sixx stated:
"You can trust us these are ball busters. Everybody can relax. We're soon gonna smack you upside the head with some killer new tracks. Bob Rock is producing. Its our movie. We know what we're doing."
The movie has been in development almost since the book of the same name was published and at one stage, Christopher Walken was heavily linked to play Ozzy Osbourne, however the cast has now been mostly confirmed and the Sixx, Neil, Tommy Lee and Mick Mars will be portrayed by Douglas Booth (Jupiter Ascending, The Limehouse Golem,) Daniel Webber (11.22.63., The Punisher,) rapper Machine Gun Kelly and Iwan Rheon (Game Of Thrones, Misfits, Inhumans,) while manager Doc McGhee will be played by David Costabile (The Wire, Breaking Bad, Flight Of The Conchords) and Ozzy will be portrayed by Tony Cavalero of School Of Rock fame.
Voivod Posts New Video "Iconspiracy" Online
Ahead of their forthcoming new studio album, "The Wake," Canadian progressive thrash metal legends Voivod has posted a new music video online for the song, "Iconspiracy." You can check it out below. The song is the third from the album to receive the music video treatment, following "Obsolete Beings" and "Always Moving." "The Wake" is set to be released through Century Media on September 21st.
Frontman Denis “Snake” Bélanger checked in with the following comment about the clip: “What I really like about Voivod fans is that they are all able to make their own interpretation of the lyrics or the story of our songs. This video is such a good portrait of "Iconspiracy" and the artist pinpoints awesome visuals in regards to the meaning and representation of the story itself. Thanks to Costin, an amazing artist who did really great work for us in the past and still blows my mind every time again. Question everything! Iconspiracy!!!"
Video director Costin Chioreanu added: “ The most difficult task of an illustrator is to work for his all-time favourite bands. Then he becomes extremely exigent with what he creates and wants to get beyond any known limit. Obviously, this type of experiences are priceless by all means at the same time, because everything goes utterly intense and he feels like a starship exploring the Universe at full warp speed and experiencing several amazing unseen worlds per second. "The Wake" is the album of the year 2018 for me and the video I literally built from scratch for "Iconspiracy" follows the song lyrics and the spaces between them. At the same time, both the story and video fight to remain alive while trying to keep up with the infernal dynamics of the song, which represent another musical proof of the Voivod's genius. Other than that, this video speaks by itself, just like the music, therefore who is prepared to be awaken, will be!” More...
