Motley Crue: $100+ million for 3 albums/world tours

http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=90500

Awesome news. I'm really happy for these guys and it shows you don't need radio to be a success anymore (Rob Zombie is right about the industry).

:goodluck: @ the band staying together. I assume if the band fell apart sometime over the next 10 years there'd be quite a literal price to pay though.

Anything to keep the tours and albums coming. The Carnival of Sin tour was amazing and I really dug their new stuff from the latest greatest hits CD.

it will be interesting to see what they come up with for those 3 albums.

They always put on a great show (lot of boobies), so that'll be the profit-maker. If history repeats, the albums will be mediocre.

Well, it looks like The Dirt will count as one album. They've got 10 years to deliver two more (and I hope live/compilations won't count). Nikki can do it. :king:

You've got to be joking me. Can't believe Live Nation would spend that much money to prop these clowns up for 10 more years.

Sure, if they put out Swine II.

How old will all these guys be in 10 years? Hell, Mick Mars might not live that long. He's in pretty bad shape as it is, he's got some kind of degenerative bone disease.

Besides, isn't Tommy Lee all into being a hip hop DJ now, yo? They ran a quote from him on Blabbermouth a while ago about how he was "done" with rock music.

(SIGH) Whatever... I haven't bought a Crue album since SHOUT AT THE DEVIL anyway...

Motley hate is strong here.

I'm with ya bro. Good for them. Although I gotta say, I'd be suprised if Mick hangs around for another 10 years. I thought Tommy was out too, but I guess a healthy paycheck would have losta influence.

Ehhh...

I don't hate them, but I don't have any interest, either.

That album was far from mediocre.

Far to the left.

Here is his demented quote...

MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx has denied that the band has signed a $100-million-plus mega-deal with the giant Live Nation entertainment conglomerate.

"MÖTLEY CRÜE has not signed any deals," Nikki said in a statement. "Any information reported to the contrary is false and misleading."

Vince was quoted though... Either Vince was making stuff up or Leach was!

Quoted where? If it was overheard on the "Motley Cruise" while Vince was drunkenly hitting on Julie the cruise-director, there may be some shenanigans afoot.

"Yea baby, we just signed a HUGE deal with Live Nation. I'm worth BILLIONS, baby. Wanna see my contract? It's in my cabin, right next to the boiler room"

The Motley Cruise. There's an idea that's worth 100 million dollars.

Yea, ya see? Vince was in Motley CRUE and so they named the boat ride a Motley CRUISE, because Vince performs on the boat! Get it? That kind of clever word play is worth it's weight in gold. Too bad Vince isn't.

You know it! A WHOLE lot of people would sign up for that.

But the amount of penecillin they would have to stock would limit the available rooms. Book it early!

It has the potential to turn into the Motley Ooze.

Tommy has always been a wigger!
