kellsco · April 15th, 2008, 06:45 PM

*I'm gonna have to take a pass on this I think.......*

MÖTLEY CRÜE has set a June 17 release date for its new album, "Saints of Los Angeles". The CD will be issued through Mötley Records, the band revealed today (April 15) at a press conference in Los Angeles.

In support of the album, MÖTLEY CRÜE will embark on a 40-plus-city North American amphitheater tour, beginning July 1 at the Cruzan Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach, Fla., and wrapping Aug. 31 at the Post-Gazette Pavilion in Pittsburgh.

Produced by Los Angeles-based Live Nation, Crüe Fest '08 will also feature rock acts BUCKCHERRY, PAPA ROACH, TRAPT and CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx's side band SIXX: A.M.

Tickets will go on sale via www.LiveNation.com beginning Friday or Saturday, depending on the market. Fans that can't wait for the onsale can get their tickets immediately by going to TheRockvine.com. Citi cardmembers will also have access to purchase presale tickets through Citi's Private Pass Program, available to all Citi cardmembers at www.privatepass.citi.com starting now and running through Friday, April 18 at 10pm.

Says Nikki Sixx of MÖTLEY CRÜE, "We are SO excited not only to headline our own annual summer festival, but also to be able to share the stage with the next generation of great rock bands. There's not a lot MÖTLEY CRÜE hasn't done so to say this summer's festival is going to be about rock 'n roll excess is an understatement. A night of hit songs by great bands and a trail of panties coast to coast ... Crüe Fest, hell yeah!"

Today's event featured the premiere of MÖTLEY CRÜE's brand new single,
"Saints of Los Angeles", which the band played live during a brief but raucous performance. The song, which also includes backing vocals by Josh Todd (BUCKCHERRY), Jacoby Shaddix (PAPA ROACH), James Michael (SIXX: A.M.) and Chris Brown (TRAPT) is the title track of the new album. Lyrically, the new album follows the story of the band's NY Times best-selling memoir "The Dirt", a no-holds-barred tell-all that features every gritty detail of the band's exploits as one of the world's biggest rock bands. The first single and video were serviced today to radio and television and the digital download was instantly made available for purchase at the iTunes Music Store. In an industry first, the song was also made available as a download for the Rock Band video game simultaneously with its single release.

In addition to being televised live on Fuse, the press conference was broadcast live online and syndicated on numerous websites including TheRockvine.com. MÖTLEY CRÜE chose to deliver the live stream using Microsoft Silverlight via iStreamPlanet, Co's iStream Player. The iStream Player is built on Microsoft Silverlight technology which is a lightweight cross-browser, cross-platform plug-in that delivers the next generation of fully immersive media experiences and rich interactive applications for the Web.

Trapt is still around? I thought they were one of the casualties of the Great Nu-metal Implosion.

Harvester · April 15th, 2008, 07:47 PM

Sixx: A.M. is *awesome.* How many of you have heard the entire disc?

dcowboys311 · April 15th, 2008, 08:19 PM

Motley Crue is the only band I'm interested in seeing. I absolutely hate every other band on this bill, and Papa Roach is one of the worst live acts I've ever had to sit through.

Stingray11214 · April 15th, 2008, 08:40 PM

Jul. 08 - Wantagh, NY - Nikon at Jones Beach Theater - Scheduled to wash my hair on this day
Aug. 23 - Holmdel, NJ - PNC Bank Arts Center - Will be cutting my toenails on this day

Guess I need to pass on this.

Matt Crooks · April 15th, 2008, 08:45 PM

Tickets ordered.

Harv - I like the Sixx:AM a lot, I got it for Beth for Christmas, and then stole it from her.

TheGraveDigger · April 15th, 2008, 11:21 PM

Just bought my tickets for PNC, can't wait. I saw Motley Crue once and that was August of 2005 at the Borgata in Atlantic City. Incredible show, the band was tight as hell and I never in my life saw so many tits in one place! Should be a great show and I am a fan of the opening bands. Also Glenn, I love the Sixx:A.M. disc. I do not own it yet but have heard everything on it. I think Target has it on price cut for $9.99 at the moment, plan on picking it up any day now.

I heard one song and thought it was reasonably solid, but not necessarily awesome. Given your recommendation, I will check out more.
