Despite being a website that is strictly a Heavy Metal music promotions webzine (tailored to feature mainly underground metal), many of the mainstream wannabes copy\/paste Rocket&#8217;s journalism, stealing even the headlines verbatim, and not giving credit when it is due. It is no surprise that the fake rock news outlets would steal what turned out to be the biggest <strong>M\u00d6TLEY CR\u00dcE<\/strong> news story of all time and most certainly the #1 most viewed news article in rock last year, yes, even bigger than the announcement Mars was being replaced by<strong> John 5<\/strong>. At the height of their twice postponed comeback tour, which was plagued with accusations that singer <strong>Vince Neil <\/strong>was going to lip synch during their concerts, Rocket caught drummer <strong>Tommy Lee<\/strong> using a backing track and that is when all hell broke loose inside the Crue&#8217;s camp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/?p=94629\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"124\"  data-gnlv=\"hey\" src=\"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-169.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-105386\" style=\"width:817px;height:149px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-169.png 680w, https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-169-600x109.png 600w, https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-169-300x55.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">This single news article (dated 7\/19\/2022) written by Rocket of TMD alone is responsible for breaking up the original Crue lineup. <em>No other journalist in history has had that kind of a massive influence on anything.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/randyrocketcody.com\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"501\"  data-gnlv=\"hey\" src=\"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rocketlegend111-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-105378\" style=\"width:290px;height:227px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rocketlegend111-6.jpg 640w, https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rocketlegend111-6-600x470.jpg 600w, https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rocketlegend111-6-300x235.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">I am going to name the websites who stole my article that I authored and posted long before anyone else began to mention it, in most cases, it was nine days later after I published the original article that the thievery began to occur. I am also going to try and name as many of the editors at these sites I can who are guilty of straight up content theft! I will also provide a link to each stolen post and give the total number of Facebook followers each page has. Once these stories post on their website, it will mostly always be shared on that radio site or webzines Facebook page. This total number help gives us an idea of the total viewership, although it is only a small sample size, when considering the story was all over Twitter and other social media platforms at same time. The date of the stolen posting will be included as well, so readers can clearly see that their posting followed TMD&#8217;s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Many of the biggest names in rock\/metal stole my work, including Justin Hawkins of THE DARKNESS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Was Tommy Lee Caught Faking It?!\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UKfRqw7JeEI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">In the end, the best part of it all is that these moronic rock personalities, websites and radio stations by stealing my work only helped me to accomplish my main goal, which was to reveal the truth about what was happening. <strong>It was sabotage clear as day.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">It is important to understand as the Mars legal battle versus his old band begins to throwdown, because fans will see that Mars was put in a very unfair spot, and was treated horribly, and when Tommy Lee got busted in front of the world using a backing track it sent Mars into a furious rage, and this is what led to the big blow up between he and the Crue, ultimately kicking off the lawsuit launched by Mars this past April. He called them out for their unprofessional behavior, and Sixx decided to fire him secretly, yet tell all the fans it was due to the guitar legend&#8217;s &#8220;aging&#8221; and &#8220;health&#8221; issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FTheMetalDen%2Fposts%2Fpfbid02vnVEyGRy5WB5uccj4jM8gJha4tP3U9SjuxBGv4bTpqdPxpyMMJkHstM1YN8z3VCYl&#038;show_text=true&#038;width=500\" width=\"500\" height=\"648\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Mars believes he is the sole creator of the Crue, since he named them and got them their first money backer, among other things, on top of writing the band&#8217;s most memorable songs, and he is battling in court for majority shareholder status so he can gain control back of the band he put on the map pretty much by himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/tommyandMick-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"540\" height=\"383\"  data-gnlv=\"hey\" src=\"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/tommyandMick-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-107964\" style=\"width:501px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/tommyandMick-1.jpg 540w, https:\/\/themetalden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/tommyandMick-1-300x213.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">In this sample size, there are roughly two dozen guilty culprits caught stealing TMD&#8217;s content, totaling <em>over 11 million readers reached via these 28 distribution points.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Keep in mind, there are many on this list who were included in my routine email media blast of news stories being kicked out to the media as I always do, so many of the guilty were made privy of the story by me directly.
