Das letzte Mal?
Nicht ganz. Man kann ja noch ins Kino gehen. "The
Dirt", ihre schonungslose Biografie, ganz nebenbei verdient
eines der bestverkauften Rockbücher und absolute
Pflichtlektüre, wird verfilmt, und 2015 nach der
Abschiedstournee in die Kinos kommen. Jeff Tremaine (Bad
Grandpa) wird wohl der Regisseur werden, die Band selber wird
den Opus ebenfalls mit produzieren. Wie im Buch soll hier nicht
eine einzige Person das sagen haben, sondern alle
Bandmitglieder werden zu Wort kommen. Livenation wird die Tour
veranstalten, die am 4.7.14 in Milwaukee beginnt und nach 66
Terminen in Vancouver zu einem Ende kommen wird.
Mit von der Partie sein wird Alice Cooper, der ja rein
altersmäßig schon der Vater der Mötley Jungs sein könnte... Die
Tour führt durch jeden US-Staat und jedes größere Scheißkaff in
Amerika :-), Tourdaten weiter unten. Ihr könnt also schon mal
den US Urlaub für 2015 buchen, sofern Ihr Euch vorher Tickets
gesichert habt.
Das amerikanische Countrymusiklabel Big Machine Records wird
außerdem eine Tribute Album auf den Markt bringen, in dem die
Musik der Sleazer durch - trara - Countrymusiker interpretiert.
Wir freuen uns schon auf "Kickstart My Heart" mit einem schönen
Steel-Pedal-Guitar Intro!
Für Fans mit Geduld hier die Original Pressemeldung:
"Los Angeles, CA (January 28, 2014) – After more than
three decades together, iconic rock ‘n roll band MÖTLEY CRÜE
announced today their Final Tour and the band’s ultimate
retirement. The announcement was solidified when the band
signed a formal Cessation Of Touring Agreement, effective at
the end of 2015, in front of global media in Los Angeles today.
Celebrating the announcement of this Final Tour, the band will
perform on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live TONIGHT and will appear on
CBS This Morning TOMORROW MORNING.
With over 80 million albums sold, MÖTLEY CRÜE has sold out
countless tours across the globe and spawned more than 2,500
MÖTLEY CRÜE branded items sold in over 30 countries. MÖTLEY
CRÜE has proven they know how to make a lasting impression and
this tour will be no different; Fans can expect to hear the
catalogue of their chart- topping hits and look forward to
mind-blowing, unparalleled live production. “When it
comes to putting together a new show we always push the
envelope and that’s part of Motley Crue’s legacy,” explains
Nikki Sixx (bass). “As far as letting on to what we’re
doing, that would be like finding out what you’re getting for
Christmas before you open the presents. We think in an
age of too much information, we’d like to keep some surprises
close to our chest until we launch the Final Tour.”
The Final Tour presented by Dodge and produced by Live Nation
will kick off in North America on July 2nd in Grand Rapids, MI
and reach 72 markets before hitting international territories
in 2015. To Live Nation MÖTLEY CRÜE tours are not
only box office successes but artistically their shows have set
the bar for production and entertainment value. "There's no
arguing that Motley Crue have been and always will be the
definitive bad boys of rock and roll," says Rick Franks, Live
Nation's Regional President of North America Concerts. "But
behind all those notorious stories is a legendary rock band
that has revolutionized heavy metal and created some of the
biggest hits in music history. They are a hugely
successful global brand and a touring powerhouse.
Everyone at Live Nation has a tremendous amount of respect for
these hard working and extremely talented
gentlemen. The music industry will never have
another Motley Crue."
The Dodge brothers were a notorious duo, so it seemed only
natural to partner with the World’s Most Notorious Rock
Band. "Whenever I talk to people about Motley Crue, the
common thread is how cool and relevant the band remains even
after 33 years," said Tim Kuniskis, President and CEO, Dodge
Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. "This irreverent 'staying
power' resonates deeply with the Dodge brand as we turn the
corner on our 100 year anniversary. What better way to
celebrate the band's final tour and the 25th anniversary of
Kickstart My Heart than to do it together?"
Fans can look forward to Very Special Guest ALICE COOPER
joining MÖTLEY CRÜE for an incredible package - Alice invented
the genre and MÖTLEY CRÜE put steroids in it! "Real hard rock
bands are hard to find these days," said Alice,
continuing,"Motley has always gone on stage with one attitude
and that's to blow the audience away. That's exactly how
we do it. Putting Motley Crue and Alice Cooper together
is going to be just what this summer really NEEDS. We're
going to go out there and tear it up, and I can't wait to see
Motley on stage. Motley Crue and Alice Cooper - A match
made in... Armageddon?"
As documented in the Cessation Of Touring Agreement the band
signed at the press conference today, the band will not tour
after this Final Tour. Band Attorney, Doug Mark of Mark
Music & Media Law, explains “Other bands have split up over
rancor or the inability of people to get along, but this is
mutual among all four original members and a peaceful decision
to move on to other endeavors and to confirm it with a binding
agreement.” Vince Neil, Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee, and Mick
Mars will go their separate ways after the lengthy 2-year
touring cycle. Tommy Lee (drums) explains “Everything
must come to an end!! We always had a vision of going out with
a big fucking bang and not playing county fairs and clubs with
1 or 2 original band members! Our job here is done!!!” Of
the band’s tumultuous history, Mick Mars (guitar) adds "(It has
been) more drama than ‘General Hospital’ - it keeps 'em
watchin’ and they keep comin’ back.” Vocalist, Vince Neil
says of the Finality of the tour - “I'll miss playing with the
guys but I won't quit playing rock and roll!! I feel there are
a lot of great opportunities and exciting projects after
Motley.”
The Final Tour will coincide with the film made from MÖTLEY
CRÜE’s NY Times Best-Selling book The Dirt. Jeff Tremaine (Bad
Grandpa) has signed on to direct the opus that is set to debut
in theaters globally in 2015, coinciding with The Final Tour.
The Dirt is not only one of the best selling rock books of all
time but also one of the greatest rock books of all time
because of its brutal honesty, its unique voice, its multiple
perspectives on the same events and its first-person inclusion
of all members of the same band. Most rock memoirs are
salacious mud-slinging accounts of a single person and MÖTLEY
CRÜE was adamant to include the perspectives of all four of its
members. Tremaine’s intention is to make, not just a great
movie about a band, but a great movie about four misfits who,
despite themselves and everyone else, band together to overcome
the odds and change the history of Rock & Roll. "The Dirt'
is a movie I've wanted to make ever since I read the book in
2002,” says Tremaine. “I relate to the story on so many levels;
my whole professional career has been about boys behaving
badly, so I have a real connection to the material. It's
awesome to be working with the band at such an exciting time in
Motley Crue’s history." The film will be produced by the
members of MÖTLEY CRÜE, Rick Yorn, Julie Yorn, Erik Olsen and
10th Street Entertainment.
BIG MACHINE RECORDS, home to Country Superstars such as Taylor
Swift and Tim McGraw has teamed up in a joint venture with
MÖTLEY RECORDS and ELEVEN SEVEN MUSIC for the summer 2014
release of a Country Music Tribute To MÖTLEY CRÜE. BIG
MACHINE founder and CEO, Scott Borchetta, is among the legion
of Country Music fans who love MÖTLEY CRÜE. The country
tribute album will show off the band’s quality songwriting with
these fresh takes on their classic hit songs. Among the
artists already confirmed to be featured on the country tribute
album is Florida Georgia Line. Borchetta says of the
collaboration, "I have been a not-so-secret Crue fan from the
beginning. When manager Chris Nilsson called with the
idea for a tribute album on Big Machine Records it was an
immediate 'yes' from me! Our album will highlight just
how great the Motley Crue song catalog is. At the end of
the day, that's what will stand the test of time."
MÖTLEY CRÜE Fan Club members will get the exclusive first
crack at tickets and VIP Packages, via a unique code, beginning
on Wednesday, January 29th starting at 10am local time.
VIP ticket packages will be made available to the general
public on Thursday, January 30th at 10am local time. The
general public ticket on-sale for most shows is Friday, January
31st. All tickets and packages can be obtained via
Ticketmaster.com , LiveNation.com, or via MotleyVIP.com

ABOUT Alice Cooper
Alice Cooper is a true rock icon, having pioneered the use of
theatrics and shocking images onstage in concerts from the
earliest days of the original band of the same
name. Since going solo, he has continued to produce
elaborate stage shows providing fans with both shock and rock
of the highest caliber. Inducted into the Rock N Roll
Hall of Fame in 2011, Alice has toured and recorded
continuously, with his most recent album being Welcome 2 My
Nightmare through UMe. Recorded with longtime
collaborator Bob Ezrin, who produced the original ground
breaking, multi-platinum Welcome To My Nightmare album in 1975.
Alice's lengthy catalog of hits and anthems include "I'm
Eighteen," "No More Mr Nice Guy," School's Out," "Billion
Dollar Babies," "Elected," and "Poison." Currently,
Alice's touring band features the three guitar attack of
Orianthi, Tommy Henriksen and Ryan Roxie, backed by bassist
Chuck Garric and drummer Glen Sobel. "Nights With
Alice Cooper," Alice's nightly radio show, is available in
nearly 100 cities in the USA, Canada, Australia, and the
UK. The show features his favorite classic rock songs
along with his insider anecdotes about many of the
artists. Additionally, 2014 will see the release of
"Super Duper Alice Cooper," a documentary film on Alice's
career path and journey through life, from Banger Films, the
same team that produced recent award-winning documentaries on
Rush and Iron Maiden."
