Believe it or not, M\u00d6TLEY CR\u00dcE<\/strong>\u00a0appears to have officially entered the studio with longtime producer\u00a0Bob Rock<\/strong>\u00a0to record a few songs they have written with new guitarist John 5<\/strong>. It has been fifteen years since the Crue last released a full-length studio album with 2008’s “Saints of Los Angeles”<\/strong>. This album will apparently not contain any contributions from Mick Mars<\/strong>.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mars just filed a lawsuit against his former band, kicking off an all-out war of words between Mars and Nikki Sixx<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Late Monday night (April 17), the CR\u00dcE<\/strong>‘s\u00a0John 5<\/strong>\u00a0posted a photo of him cutting tracks in a recording studio. He also shared a picture of\u00a0Rock<\/strong>\u00a0in front of a mixing board. The accompanying caption read: “Let’s do this @motleycrue #bobrock”. The Crue is in the midst of the worst controversy of their career, not just due to the shocking Mars lawsuit but also the downward spiral of lead vocalist Vince Neil, who is having to rely on doing lip-sync because his voice is so out of shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TMD reported last February that Bob Rock was rumored to be at the helm of the Crue’s new album<\/a>. This has now been confirmed with this post by John 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Source notes that \u201c[Nikki] Sixx<\/strong>\u00a0and company have indeed begun to secretly plan a major announcement for fans in time with the official launch of their comeback… this is why the wheels are being put into motion now in advance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M\u00d6TLEY CR\u00dcE\u2019s New Album To Be Named \u2018Return Of The Saints\u2019?<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mick Mars also claims that Nikki Sixx and Tommy Lee are both faking it live on the stage and that Sixx did not play one note live at any of the glam metal band’s comeback concerts launched last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No word yet if DJ Ashba<\/strong> and other past “Saints” album contributors like Marti Frederiksen<\/strong> will be part of the tentatively titled “Return of The Saints” production. There is even a soft whisper going around that possibly ex-CREED <\/strong>singer Scott Stapp<\/strong> will be part of the production. He will not be replacing Vince Neil<\/a> on tour but just in the studio. The idea is that Stapp employed for sessions secretly as a ‘ghost vocalist’ can help Neil get to a higher level by handling some of the more difficult parts Mr. Neil cannot sing properly. With the magic of modern audio engineering and tricks that can be used it can be made to mimic Neil’s old voice when it still worked<\/em>. Bringing in a secret singer happens all the time in the music biz.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

TMD’s report from last year included the following excerpt:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Producer Bob Rock<\/strong> is rumored to be helming (what could very well be ) <\/em>the band’s final production, per a source within Crue’s camp. Rock of course having worked on the band’s\u00a0classic 1989 Dr. Feelgood<\/em> album plus most recently in 2019 on the soundtrack for the Netflix film titled THE DIRT. Beyond the title track, The film’s soundtrack would feature three new recordings, all produced with longtime collaborator\u00a0Rock: “Ride with the Devil”, “Crash and Burn”, and a cover of the\u00a0Madonna\u00a0song “Like a Virgin” Rock is easily the best man for the difficult job.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
