MOTLEY CRUE - 'Red, White & Crue' Track Listing Revealed, More Tour Dates Announced |
|
|
The raucous rulers of the sex-and-drugs-fueled nightlife on L.A.'s Sunset
Strip have returned to their old stomping grounds. All four original members
of MĂ–TLEY CRĂśE, the glam-metal gods who've sold more than 40 million albums
worldwide and who paved the way for other seminal rock acts, have reunited
for the first time in six years, announcing a new world tour — VH1 & VH1
Classic Present "Mötley Crüe: Red White & Crüe Tour 2005…Better Live
Than Dead" — and giving their fans a live taste of it. Tickets go on sale
this Saturday, December 11 at Ticketmaster and VH1.com.
The event at the Hollywood Palladium began at 6:00 p.m. with a press conference announcing the tour, a new anthology album and the debut of a fresh single and video, "If I Die Tomorrow". The new tour, it was revealed during the press conference, resulted not only from strong demand by homegrown audiences, but was largely fueled by the diligent efforts of Mags Revell, a U.K. promoter with Metropolis Music Group, who launched his own grass-roots campaign in the U.K. designed to get the band to reunite. Taking the unprecedented steps of placing advertising in U.K. media and putting a hold on concert venues in the U.K. for June, 2005, Revell's efforts quickly gained traction with fans all across the world who added fuel to the fire by taking to the Internet and spreading the word. Said Revell, "I honestly did not know until now whether MÖTLEY CRÜE would respond to our efforts. With the help of tens of thousands of fans in the UK and around the world, I wanted to show the band that there was a real demand for their reunion and I took a big risk. This is the band that we all never thought we'd have the chance to see live again and I strongly admire them for responding to their fans. It is the realization of a dream for so many people for whom MÖTLEY CRÜE represents what rock music is all about.” MÖTLEY CRÜE are a gang of musicians that climbed the mountain of rock to success," Allen Kovac, CEO of Tenth Street Entertainment, said in a statement. "This tour and new music delivers to all those who love one of rock's most passionate and aggressive bands." Nikki Sixx, Vince Neil, Mick Mars and Tommy Lee, the original members of MÖTLEY CRÜE, whose stature as the world's most infamous rock band was made legend in their NY Times best-selling autobiography "The Dirt", will be touring the world in 2005, beginning with arenas in the U.S. and Canada in February. The U.S. portion of the the world tour, dubbed "Red White & Crüe Tour 2005…Better Live Than Dead", is being presented by VH1 and VH1 Classic and goes on sale to the general public this weekend. Beginning today, however, VH1.com are offering a limited number of seats on their website to fans wanting to beat the box office rush. For dedicated CRÜE fans, it's all about the live show. In a marathon MÖTLEY CRÜE style, the band will launch its world tour in February, starting in U.S. arenas and coming back for an amphitheater tour in August and September.
