MÖTLEY CRÜE – Announce New EP ‘Cancelled’ & Debut BEASTIE BOYS Cover Song

MOTLEY CRUE has released a cover of Beastie Boys’ “Fight for Your Right” off their upcoming Cancelled EP. You can listen to it below.

Bassist Nikki Sixx originally claimed the Crue would release a full length album last year but was exposed for using AI on the new production and decided to cancel it and only release a 3 song EP. It’s also being said by insiders that Neil’s problems with the bottle made recording a full 10 or 12 songs like the old days impossible.

Cancelled marks the first batch of Motley Crue songs to feature John 5 on guitar instead of Mick Mars. The rockers have been working “Fight for Your Right” into their sets routinely over the past year.

“Fight for Your Right” is the second offering from the three-song EP, following the original song “Dogs of War” that came out in April. Cancelled will be rounded out by its title track. The full EP arrives on Oct. 4 and is available to preorder now.

About the inspiration for the title track, Tommy Lee said on the Club Random podcast:

“There was this article that was like, ‘How did Motley Crue ever not get cancelled?’ And we were like, ‘F–k, we got to write a song about that because we didn’t ever get it.”
