29 May,
Thursday and end May. The time goes on fast - tough financial times but there are golden moments every now and then in spite of the toughness.
My dear Lisa has found a new thing to follow and dig into and that alkone has helped a great deal actually. What it is? Well now that you ask - it is the swedish band Ghost.
We went to see them live a week ago and yesh it is much much betterthan expected and better music AFTER having seen them live. Have to admit. They never were a thing to put attention to for my taste but now its really cool.
I like it. Very great AOR / metal thing going on there. With a modern touch and theatrical greatness hard to ignore.
I have been lucky to get a few thigns from my brother and from friends around as well. Shirts, passes magazines and a little few somethings. It is great to say "covered". Safe. In the can.
I still have to be a bit careful with the coming few month before an eventual job shows up. There are for sure things that needs to be handled and cleared in the summer both June and July will be tough months but fuck it.
It is more than worth it. Just to get things out of the way.
Now it is also very interesting to see what comes of news on the vegas Residency in a couple of months. Will Vince be able to even do this? It is just a very uncertain thing I think. But mostly I hope not. Mostly of own ego minded reasons I just want his to end for real this time. Tommy has shown some new music ideas and souond clips recently on the internet and I wonder if there could be also a new Tommy album in the making or whats up?
And next mont the new SIXX AM tripple album or well... re release of volume 1 and 2 Blessed and Damned albums with a couple of bonus tracks. Super unnessesary but - well.
I hope for being successful on other ideas I am sitting with these dayss but we will see how all that unfolds for sure.
Moer later - now coffee and enjoying the afternoon a bit **
19 May,
Tomorrow, it is Lisa birthday 38.One feels old. Very old however, also better when it comes to balance or stress may be the right word. I am just not too much on the negative side no more. I have found a way to get a more good feeling and stay in belief of better.We will see how it ends up and if it stays this way. Still not fucking jobb. Today is a mind troubleing warm day.
2 Boxes from the US of A will go out from my buddy Jeff this week.
Vince and Tommy have bioth lost their girlfriends.Tommy was left and Vince left his its said.She seems to have been unfaithful. Hmm, well with how Neil has taken care of himself and ended up like a fat old nobody i can kind of see how that shot got to happen.Tommy – well unsure but Brittany claims officially he drank too much. Buit he has been sober for over 7 years now so I am sure there is another reason and that she simply had to point out something thats easy to believe when talking about T-bone.
Never mind it is their mess. Shal be funny to see if there will again be a Pamela inthat one Dont think so though. Also what becomes of the Crue now after all the sthit thats been going on just this year?I shall be the first to applaud if the final curtains for real is dropping this year for the … final time.
Still computer trouble – no scannings possible.Not at all. Not one bit. So things coming in wil just have to go into a bin or something and be dealt with in September or somewhere round there.
new stuff found but not gotten .may get the Rock The Waves shirt and poster. We will see I will know more next week.
I am wanting to get some story telligns doen on some of the stuff I have – while still remembering. My left arm and shoulder is really beginning to bother me major with pain. It is far too early but there is nothign I can do painkillers helps a couple of hours it has now been causing pain for a couple of years I wonder what it is.
13 May,
So much is happening within me these days. Discovering a new me in the ways of thinking.
And some new experiences that simply holds a lot of new GREAT fouond new love and emotions.
It is so far from Motley Crue as we can possibly get I think, if only talking about the music.I was at a concert last Friday. I never am anymore – never attending conceerts its weird as it was such a huge part of my life earlier.
This guy – Jackson Dean – country star – awarded last years best new comer – fuck me what a cool experience. He is for sure one I will listen to and follow for years to come I think.The lyrics and the songs are just so fucking touching!!!!! Jesus christ what a guy. 24 years old and so damn cool. Even had the chance of meeting him and share a few facts about my fascination about him.
He has touched me for other reasons than what Crue did but just as deep.
On Crue I have had a lot of thinking about the RSD release 2025. the ”Smokin In The Boys Room” picture disc.The three that held a promise to me they would have it for me, all failed. Now this week I have gotten a hold of an old collector that is not collecting anymore and has not been for a couple of years he has it for me. So I am as close as I can to be saying ”I now have it”. But let it come to me first., let me just have it in hand first… dissapointments have been many in my life about this so .. I wait till I have it.
My computer has started to shot down on several things it is time for a new I think.But financially that is a big NO NO. Not till late summer… so I might now have no more to add on this sote till late summer. Time will tell.But there are loads coming even if it will have to wait till late summer. My prioities are on prqactical things right now so there are not really any Crue focus right now.
Well a continued work on what is already going on sure…. But the adding part may be on hold.
A local jobcenter is holding some of all the stuff the collection holds and has it displayed that is also a thing thats a strange new but fun thing happening.
04 May,
So new month, maybe first of summer or spring here, but for sure a month of hard times in so many ways. I am yet positive as long as I do not agree to making stupid moves cause that equals set backs in my book.And right now there are no room for such.I have gotten a few new ”older” thigns but not much.I have started to listen to the audiobook version of John Corabi book. Never really started listening to it so now is a good time.
I am excited to hear about the music / carreer part of his life.Not too much his childhood etc.But yet it is a funny detail that he seems to have been so ever often in and pre music carreer at the wrong place the wrong time. I see that too with Motley . his days there were not really cool. Nor a good move as fans rejected the band if it did not hold the original four.
On the other hand I often ask myself had it been a better outcome if he had joined the band like at a time where it was not the so called Seattle / grunge scene that ruled the world?
Would it have been a great match like 2005?2010? or after the Corona period 2022?I just dont know. Now that Vince is nowhere near good anymore… could that have made a difference? Or woould fans still reject things on the vocal side of the band if anyone would take over Neil at any point in time? Clearly the old fans have talked and stepped back after Mick left but the vocalist? Thats a tough one man.
I am still at this point awaiting to say I have secured the ”Smokin In The Boys Room” picture disc from record store day 2025.I never got it. I have a hope through my english friend. But am still awaiting the IVE GOT IT. So we will see how that ends. It is available through eBay sellers but way overpriced. So no.
There is a box load coming from US later May I recon but till it is actually in hand I hold my breath. Articles, shirts, Misc, and a few solo thigns are currently being put on the site.
My job situation is still a no go but I use a lot of time annalysing myself and what I have when it coems to strengts and weaknesses. What job would fit me or vise versa. It has to be right and long term this time.
17 April,
Empty words tommy movinig away and ouif the shithead Trump gets to b echosen af precident. Then again ahe said that before as well. Never happened. Bu the listed a public letter to the president:
"An Open Letter to the president" -From the Drummer of Mötley Crüe, Tommy Lee
Dear Fucking Lunatic,
At your recent press conference - more a word salad that had a stroke and fell down stairs, you were CLEARLY so out of your depth you needed scuba gear. Within minutes of going off air your minions were backpedaling faster than Cirque De Soliel acrobats... In India a week ago, i couldn’t get past the bit about your being the most popular visitor in the history of fucking india — a country of a BILLION human souls that’s only 3000 years old, give or take.!!! Trust me - Gandhi pulled CROWDS.. You pulled a cricket stadium and half WALKED out...
Do you know how fucking insane you sound, you off-brand butt plug? That's like the geopolitical equivalent of “that stripper really likes me” — only 10,000 times crazier and less self aware.
You are fucking exhausting. Every day is a natural experiment in determining how long 300 million people can resist coring out their own assholes with an ice auger. Every time I hear a snippet of your Queens-tinged banshee larynx farts, I want to scream!
We are fucking tired. As bad as we all thought your presidency would be when Putin got you elected, it’s been inestimably worse. You called a hostile, nuclear-armed head of state “short and fat.” How the fuck does that help?You accused a woman — a former friend, no less — of showing up at your resort bleeding from the face and begging to get in. You, you, YOU — the guy who looks like a Christmas haggis inexplicably brought to life by Frosty’s magic hat — yes, you of all people said that.
You attempted — with evident fucking glee — to get 24 million people thrown off their health insurance. You gave billions away to corporations and the already wealthy while simultaneously telling struggling poor people that you were doing exactly the opposite. You endorsed a pedophile, praised brutal dictators, and defended LITERAL FUCKING NAZIS!
Ninety-nine percent of everything you say is either false, crazy, incoherent, just plain cruel, or a rancid paella of all four. Oh, by the way, Puerto Rico is still FUBAR. You got yourself and your family billions in tax breaks for Christmas. What do they get? More paper towels?
Enough, enough, enough, enough! For the love of God and all that is holy, good, and pure, would you please, finally and forever, shut your feculent KFC-hole until you have something valuable — or even marginally civil — to say?You are a fried dick sandwich with a side of schlongs. If chlamydia and gonorrhea had a son, you’d appoint him HHS secretary. You are a disgraceful, pustulant hot stew full of casuistry, godawful ideas, unintelligible non sequiturs, and malignant rage.You are the perfect circus orangutan diaper from Plato’s World of Forms.
So fuck you Mr. President. And fuck you forever. Oh, and Pence, you oleaginous house ferret. Fuck you, too. You'll be as useful as a chocolate teapot against a medical crisis you Bible thumping cock socket."
-Kind words, but I got to admit I could have written this very same one. Not going to say another word. Somebody gotta wake up soon in the US and see to it that this man is kicked out of office. He is a ticking bomb man. No wonder all his ”look at me see what I can do and how much I actually care” attitude is setting other countries and its politicians at alert. He just does not like democratic ways…
It is a constant MY WAY or NO WAY. No matter how much shit and how many rules I bend and change so it is no longer a rule.
Very much now looking for a mail from a friend to help me out on something. Got new and old magazines today thanks to Petr my friend in the south of Europe. Greatly appreciated man.
If not tomorrow then next week three new promo posters from Japan – not many left to clear to say those are completed. Really cool actually.
16 April,
Mid April, back from a very emotionel and tough time in Denmark. These are for sure the days where I just do not know if my dear mother is going to be around much longer. I see the things are massively changing and it is surely not for the better. And all of a sudden the collecting thing and other things seems les important. It is just a really hard thing to deal with - all of this. An ocean of thoughts and feelings runs through me and all days there were really mentally and emotional hard to deal with. I hope for a miracle and having her a few more years at least.
With news on how much that situation has gotten a grip on me I have gotten a few new items to photograph for the site. A couple of CDs, shirts, socks and a Vince solo DVD.
The record store day was Saturday but there was not a chance in hell I could get to the shops in person which was something new this year. The record labels had decided that the records were for store visitors only andthen two days later on Monday the left overs so to speak were to be offered online. This year`s picture disc of ”Smokin In The Boys Room” was long gone and if not willing to pay overprice then it is hard get your hands on it seems. I had to reach out to a UK friend that will get it for me Thursday this week. Otherwise I would maybe not have gotten it cause I am NOT paying overprice for things much more.
Thats why everything that is personally owned or used or worn by a band member and the 1981 – 1984 stuff is more than likely not being added to the collection in the future cause prices asked for things are way over what I now a days fiind fun and exciting to pay.
I have simply gotten an old man view about life and what things are worth paying with a different income and a different view on it all as started off by sayiing. So the collection yes it can still be expanded but it is not going to be with cool heavy peices no more. -Feels weird even to say it out loud – today – April 2025. I never had those decitions made within me before.
There are things that are extreme n ow a days that gives me a worse and worse feeling and a lot of it drains my feelings about the band. I really am curious to if this will kill my interest cause I have had thoughts like that before but it did not ever go that bad.
Like SIXX A:M coming 3 LP vinyls set in June of the Blesed and Damned albums on one. I am a little like WHY? Why would they do that? A couple of alternative versions of a couple of songs I think but honestly why? I will get it in my hands I know that already but I am not really understanding the need for it. Actually there is no need only a collectors greed to add to what one already has.
Nikki Sixx is done with another book, coming out soon, and then there is some sort of Netflex stuff he is doing and some other kind of up and coming serie… what is of interest though is John Corabi. He has now signed a deal for a new solo album. Coming this year as well. The dead Dasies … I am missing a few titles from them and one is coming out later in summer and is aimed for too, but right now these news flashes are to be watched for – at least for me. Others may see and think differently.
7 April,
So many things in mind yet mostly taking care of the bills coming in. Motley well… still quiet active in my head but shopping wise completely dull. Next weekend comes the new record store day picture disc of Smoking In The Boys Room. Shall be cool ofcause – but what next – what will come and when?
The band last week got taken off of the May festival in America and Alice In Chains took over their spot. I still doubt it will for sure be happening with the residency in September. If it goes down I do wanna see if I can get it covered for sure. I think it could be a posibility that it then would be the last live thing they do. Many things seems to be in line as very alternative somethings for the future. But again, as stated before I would not mind them closing the book of touring.
I have been listening a bit tio the Crue this week… but I got to say much more other artists to not be too reminded of used to be for me in the Crue world. I cannot even begin to let you know what all of this used to mean to me. And now – well, now it is very different but still active in collecting.
Some stuff has gotten up on the walls at ”Jobhunter” here in town. A place that is like a jobcenter thign or alternative to recruit center for unemployed individuals. Gold awards, bass guitar and posters – the owner really wanted to have some there to display.
Nikki Sixx seems to have gotten a deal with Netflix;
In a groundbreaking move, Mötley Crüe’s iconic bassist Nikki Sixx has signed an exclusive multi-project deal with Netflix. This partnership promises to bring Sixx’s unique creative vision to new and exciting platforms, further solidifying his status as a trailblazer in music and entertainment.
A New Chapter in Storytelling, The deal marks a significant expansion of Sixx’s creative endeavors beyond music. With Netflix, he will develop and produce original content, including documentaries, series, and films that reflect his passions for music, art, and culture. Details about specific projects are still emerging, but the possibilities are vast.
A Legendary Career, Nikki Sixx is best known for his work with Mötley Crüe, one of the most influential rock bands of all time. As a founding member, he helped shape the band’s signature sound and style, earning a permanent place in rock history. His work as a solo artist, producer, and author has also garnered widespread acclaim. -Let us see how that unfolds and what that will be eventually.
31 March,
Monday, summertime and the last day of the month of March. Tommy seems to have ”returned to the band” and …yeah well things are kind of in the zone now what the hell is going on these days … Vince is a guarenteed weak link now, also health wise, I still say Tommy or no Tommy onboard end it. Tie up the ship and let it rest in the harbour.
I have started to dig deeper into my mind with the test of CONTROL YOUR EMOTIONS WITH 7 STOIC LESSONS (STOIC SECRETS)!!It is a way to get on top of your own emotional thoughts and reactions. The more I have of news brought to my table in life I sence that I get more and more a loose canon of irritations and impulsive reactions towards almost anything. So this is me taking or trying to take control of my own ways of dealing with news and situations. GREAT find. I shall for sure try to task this fully as I know it will do me really good.
Even as in here with my Motley Crue collecting – a diary not only to remind myself of what has been today but also expand the reactions and the emotions that has come up from different situations. Why I reacted like that on a specific topic. Always ask myself will this matter in five years from now? If the answer is no then I really do want to learn to control my emotions differently. If it does matter in five years time then look for adjustments and change of plans. But then all of a suden you win time and you will get onboard something that is guarenteed to have many rights and lefts on its way to what indicates,we are now five years later in the calendar of life.
I try not to react to much any more I have noticed – if it comes out that Sixx the band or another member has done things or said thigns I absolutely do not agree with. I have always even here in these diary pages OFTEN commented and shown anger and irritations towards such exsamples of the or round the band. Now I think I am more like an old individual searching for new wisdom in life and apply new valueable tools to my being so I can come out on the other side the best way possible.It is a felt needed something since I basically is bathing in loses and deaths these years of my life. It is a tough pot to sit in man. So yes… I need these new tools and need to master them.
In a good few weeks time I am receiving packages from my friends again with new and old Crue stuff. So sections to expand, picks, stickers, posters, shirts, misc, articels and solo sections.
29 March,
Here we go again – hopefully with all possibly respect toward the band – please fucking retire and end this NOW. Tommy Lee has left the band. I am kind of hopeful at least that this is the last round of the band touring NOW it is no moe…just burrie it gently. I do not need more cramp like actions from Sixx now. Get real get your head straight and close the book.
The Tommy news - It goes on like this,
”MOTLEY CRUE have recently announced the departure of their iconic drummer, Tommy Lee, sparking widespread speculation about the future of the band and the reasons behind his sudden exit. Lee’s departure marks a significant shift in the band’s lineup, as he has been a staple of MOTLEY CRUE since its formation in 1981. His distinctive drumming style, wild persona, and larger-than-life presence have helped define the band’s identity throughout their decades-long career. The announcement has left fans and industry insiders wondering about the future of the band and whether this marks the end of MOTLEY CRUE as we know it.
Tommy Lee, known for his notorious lifestyle and his role in the band’s hedonistic, rock-and-roll image, has always been more than just a drummer. His charisma and penchant for creating drama offstage often outshone his musical contributions, making him one of the most recognizable figures in the rock music world. From his high-profile relationships to his frequent legal issues, Lee’s life outside the band has been as public and tumultuous as his work within it. This combination of rock star antics and musical talent made MOTLEY CRUE one of the most talked-about bands of the ’80s and beyond.
The band’s announcement of Tommy Lee’s departure comes at a time when they are in the midst of a highly publicized reunion tour. MOTLEY CRUE had previously vowed to retire from touring in 2015, but they reversed this decision in 2022, sparking a massive comeback that reignited their popularity with both long-time fans and a new generation of listeners. Many had speculated that the band’s return to the road would mark a new chapter in their storied career, and for a time, it seemed like everything was back to normal. The band even made headlines with their energetic performances and their reunion with long-time members, including guitarist Mick Mars and bassist Nikki Sixx. However, Tommy Lee’s departure has raised new questions about the band’s stability.
Sources close to the band suggest that the split between Lee and the group may have been amicable, but there have also been whispers of underlying tensions within the band. Some have speculated that the decision was driven by creative differences, while others suggest that Lee’s departure may have been influenced by personal struggles or disagreements with other members. However, neither Lee nor the band has offered an official statement detailing the specific reasons behind the split, leaving fans and the media to speculate.
One possibility that has been widely discussed is the ongoing tension within the band regarding their differing views on touring and performing. In recent years, Lee has been open about his desire to scale back his commitment to the band due to his age and health concerns. The physical toll of the road, combined with the grueling demands of an international tour, may have led Lee to reconsider his role in the band. Despite his undeniable talent, the pressure of maintaining the rigorous schedule of a rock band may have become too much for him.
Another angle that fans have speculated on is the internal dynamics between the members of MOTLEY CRUE. Despite their decades-long friendship, the band has always had a history of personal conflicts, with members frequently clashing over creative direction and personal issues. The infamous 2001 film The Dirtshed light on the tumultuous relationships within the band, showcasing everything from petty jealousies to full-blown altercations. Given the band’s history of on-again, off-again drama, it’s not surprising that some fans are wondering whether the departure could be the result of old wounds being reopened or new tensions coming to the surface.
In any case, the absence of Tommy Lee raises questions about the band’s future as a touring act. While some fans are hopeful that the band will find a suitable replacement to carry on the MOTLEY CRUE legacy, others fear that Lee’s departure signals the end of the band’s era. MOTLEY CRUE has long been a band defined by its unique chemistry, and Lee’s contributions, both musically and visually, were crucial to the band’s success. It’s hard to imagine the band continuing without his signature style and larger-than-life persona, which have played an integral role in shaping MOTLEY CRUE’s identity.
At this point, the band has not made any public comments regarding their plans for the future. While some have speculated that they may bring in a guest drummer or a permanent replacement, it’s clear that any move forward will have a huge impact on the band’s direction and legacy. The loss of Lee is a significant blow to the group, and it’s uncertain how the remaining members will navigate this new chapter.
As the speculation continues, one thing is clear: MOTLEY CRUE’s journey is far from over, but it is undoubtedly at a crossroads. The departure of Tommy Lee, while surprising, adds yet another chapter to the band’s already storied history, full of ups, downs, and endless drama. Whether the band can carry on without one of their most integral members remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure—MOTLEY CRUE will continue to captivate fans, even as they face an uncertain future.”
There is now left a singer who has done his better years by far and a bass player that lies and fakes shit so much it is not even Crue no more.
It is a possible best version of a tribute band, well now it probably gets to be the second best thing as a tribute band. I really wonder if the residency will even take place in September. I can see that there is a huge possibility for that not to happen. Not that it matters but as a little curious too to hear what the reason is. Cant stop speculating that Tommy has been shot down my Sixx to a personal wish for a new singer… but who the fuck knows.
Tommy lee - Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee is fed up with how the new year is unfolding. Taking to Instagram, he vented about the chaos that has already unfolded just two months into 2025.
“This whole new year has been a such a f*cking sh*tshow!!!! From presidents, to wildfires, storms, multiple airplane crashes, multiple deaths i could go on and on,” he wrote. Lee then joked that maybe all the bad events were just getting out of the way early. “F*ck I was thinking maybe we’re just getting all the bad shit out of the way at the beginning of the year so we can get on to having some fun already…. So f*ck this

Audiences worldwide are eagerly awaiting the opportunity to experience this fusion when “Bandits” debuts on Amazon Prime.
…All this is whats out there on this so far. Am I excited? No. Not at all. This guy is not really rock solid on his choices. Many things he has done he should have stayed away from for sure. This is one of them in my book. He has taken this thing being fame and fortune into a thing I do not fully care for. But then again who am I to point fingers at the man? I guess he thinks he is simply too good to let things go by him so – good luck, but I ma not at all curious on this.
Three and a half weeks away from record store day and the picture disc release.
I am curious though to see if in the start of summer they will open the anniversary box of the theatre release or if it will be later. Also curious to see if the residency and other will actually be happening after everything with Vince? I ofcause do not want anyone to not be well but I almost do hope this was the one thing that clearly sat a long wished for stop to the band touring.
Soon to be coming are stuff from my buddy in America and CZ in Europé.
Wonder also about all the milking of the fans. The boxsets are one thing they are not even super cool, but will the label come up with even more album releases of the first five records? Wish they would do some on the other albums instead. But I do not see that happening as the band then has to pay ex members in some way so …no that is not likely to happen.
March 11,
Ohh dear - more news and more store exclusive items detected. But first and perhaps more interesting than I care to admit, new Vince neil album coming.
"In an announcement that has sent shockwaves through the rock music community, Vince Neil, iconic lead singer of the legendary rock band Mötley Crüe, has unveiled plans for a brand-new solo album along with an exciting upcoming tour. The news has not only surprised fans of Mötley Crüe but also has rock enthusiasts buzzing, eager to hear what the rock legend has in store after years of speculation and anticipation.
A New Era for Vince Neil: A Solo Adventure Begins.
Vince Neil’s announcement came earlier this week through a post on his social media platforms. For years, Neil’s fans have been hoping for a solo album from the frontman, and it seems that wish is finally coming true. The new project is set to showcase a unique sound that blends Neil’s hard-hitting rock style with fresh, innovative elements.
According to insiders, the album promises to be an exciting mix of classic Mötley Crüe energy fused with contemporary influences, giving fans a modern take on the signature sound that made Neil one of rock’s most beloved voices. While specific details about the album remain under wraps, Neil has hinted that the new material will include both personal and reflective tracks, with lyrics that delve into the highs and lows of his storied career. He shared that the album is meant to capture his journey, both as an artist and as an individual, offering fans a glimpse into his evolution over the years.
“I’ve been working on this album for a long time,” Neil said in a statement. “This project means a lot to me, not just as a musician but as a person. It’s a reflection of where I’ve been, where I’m at, and where I’m going. I can’t wait to share it with my fans. It’s time to rock!” The album will feature collaborations with some renowned artists in the rock and metal genres, but Neil has kept the list of contributors under wraps for the time being, leaving fans on edge with anticipation. However, rumors have swirled about potential appearances by some of Neil’s old bandmates, adding to the speculation that the Mötley Crüe spirit will live on through this new work.
As if the album announcement wasn’t enough, Neil also shocked the world with the reveal of a tour to promote the new record. This marks his first major solo tour in over two decades, following a few smaller-scale performances in the past. The upcoming shows promise to be an exciting fusion of classic Mötley Crüe hits and new solo material, ensuring fans of both his solo work and his legendary band will have something to look forward to.
The tour is expected to begin in late summer 2025, with Neil scheduled to perform across North America, Europe, and select dates in Asia. The announcement has already sent ticket sales soaring, with many venues reportedly selling out within hours of the announcement. For Mötley Crüe fans, it’s a chance to see Vince Neil in a new light, as he takes the stage as a solo artist while still honoring the rock roots that made him a household name.
In a post, Neil shared his excitement for the tour: “It’s been a while since I’ve been out on the road, and I’m beyond excited to hit the stage again. There’s nothing like the energy of a live show, and I can’t wait to share this new chapter with all of you!”
Neil’s performances are expected to be a high-energy, rock-filled spectacle, featuring electrifying stage setups and all the over-the-top theatrics that have become synonymous with his career. Fans can expect a mix of new songs from the upcoming album along with a generous dose of Mötley Crüe’s biggest hits, such as “Kickstart My Heart,” “Shout at the Devil,” and “Dr. Feelgood.”
Mötley Crüe’s Legacy and Vince Neil’s Ongoing Influence,the news of Neil’s new album and solo tour comes on the heels of Mötley Crüe’s recent reunion tour, which proved to be a massive success and reminded the world of the enduring appeal of the rock group. Although Mötley Crüe had declared that they were “retiring” after their final tour in 2015, the band’s recent re-emergence, fueled by the success of the Netflix biopic The Dirt, demonstrated that their place in rock history is far from over.
Despite the band’s collective decision to reunite for certain performances, many Mötley Crüe fans have expressed excitement for the possibility of Neil continuing to carve his own path. His return as a solo artist signifies that the frontman still has plenty to offer the rock world, and his new music promises to showcase a more personal side of the singer that fans have yet to see in full. Neil’s ability to captivate audiences with his raw energy, powerful vocals, and larger-than-life persona has never been in question, and his new solo album and tour are poised to solidify his place as one of rock’s most influential and resilient figures.
As Vince Neil prepares for this thrilling new chapter, the future of rock music seems to be in good hands. The resurgence of iconic artists like Neil, coupled with a renewed interest in classic rock, signals that the genre is alive and well. Fans are eager to see how Neil’s solo career evolves, and what legacy he will leave as one of the greatest rock frontmen of all time.
For now, the world waits eagerly for the release of Vince Neil’s new album and the commencement of his tour, marking what could be one of the most exciting moments in rock music for years to come. With his unstoppable energy and undeniable talent, Vince Neil is once again proving that rock and roll will never die."
We will see how it unfolds.
But surely this is great to hear. I personally think his cover albums or say last two releases have been positive suprises to me. No matter the help from high tech stuff to make him sound good.
He is no good anymore so I am sure the hitech shit is being used massively. But as an album fuck that I dont care. I am not touring to see or hear.
In about two weeks more I will also know if I am about to sit with a small chance for getting somethings (small things) but new patches that are from Pull the Plus Patches. As a company they have all sorts of bands but all embrodied official patches only available there. I love to get them. There are several. From Too Fast up till The End Tour... interesting.
One month away too for the record store day with the Smoking In The Boys Room picture disc that is already safe and secured. Really wonder what they will do for the T.O.P. boxset to come later in the fall.
Its far from their best album but my personal favorite period. So it matters. We shall see. One small step at a time.
March 5,
So it got out today that the recidency is pushed till September. Vince Neil andhis doctors orders. But it is not coming out that he actually suffered from a stroke recently. The band and management does not want the details to come out.
MÖTLEY CRÜE's Las Vegas Residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM, originally scheduled for March 28n- April 19, 2025, is moving to September 2025 due to a required medical procedure recently advised by vocalist Vince Neil's doctors.
Neil says: "To all the Crüeheads who were looking forward to see us this spring, I'm truly sorry. My health is my top priority so I can bring you the awesome shows you deserve, and I can't wait to return to the stage. Thank you for all the well wishes that keep reaching me. Your support means more than you know."
Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee and John 5 of MÖTLEY CRÜE shared in a joint statement: "Please join us in wishing Vince a speedy recovery. We are looking forward for him to get well again and to take over Vegas together in September. We can't wait to see you all out there, and thank you for your understanding and support in the meantime."
Tickets from the original spring residency dates will remain valid and be honored for the new September show dates.

It is a for now complete hush hush due to business reasons and not all are to be published for financial business reasons. But in all honesty can any be too shocked about this? Neil has for a decade been massively overweight and alcohol user so he looked like an overstuffed balloon not too long ago. A body in his age reacts to things so – NO – I personally kind of went ”wait what?” when I was informed. But a second after not at all suprised. He just did not listen to his previoous doctor.
Now that it is pushed till then half a year ahead I doubt they will be doing anything live till then. And also I doubt that it is rock solid that it will actually happen in September. Vince should no longer be doiing this at al. He should be thankful for whats gaibned and retire enjoy his remaning time of life and that is it. We will see. Lots of inside speculations for sure.
Stuff awaited from a few people again in the coming moth I guess. But also I am an invividual has changed a bit in the sense of the previous metioned thing that just kind of came over me. I am still calm. I am still really much more relaxed and far more balanced even though things have not changed for the better in income and possibilities to aim for future vacations etc. That is more than likely a completely done with topic for me.
Hawaii which seems way back now was what I think my last huge vacation. Crue stuff – it is the year of the Theatre of Pain album so a little focus on that right now I think. Come April and fall the album will see its releases and different versions and merch line so …yeah that shall be great. Looking forward to that. And just hoping for the best.
February 25,
I am perhaps going in to a new era of my own life. Slowly getting the sense of new kind of foreign thoughts. New lines comes into my already ongoing thinking I think. I choose to call it changes to come. I just need to figure out what it is and what it means as well as accepting it I guess. I start to get curious about these thoughts for sure. Hope they are coming around – well let me just say it to help me. Change me, finding new calmness on different terms so to speak.
Things happening around me seems to affect me much more than I actually hoped for. Things are in no way getting better, safer, more likeable or anything like that. We have a pretending to be good friends with Putin in Russia in the latest scam in politics running the precidency of United States.
Trump is a dangerouons man. He is not a politician. He is a greedy selfcentered buisness man with only own interest and goal settings from personal wishes that can and will benefit only him. He is an attention seeker and is by far in need of being loved and aproved by the American billionaires. He is NOT fit for running what you call peoples interest and whats best for the world. A matter a fact anything happening outside his life is of no interest to him. I honestly do think the world could come to a shitty end and Europe is nothing but a fucked middleland for the giants and has nothing to say.
So with that said and especially after or should I say during a home game in hockey here in town last night we lost in a BAD WAY. God forbid this team should be allowed to play in this league. But when I realized it was over for them something got added to this strange new way of thinking for me. It was like …THERE IT IS… and all air of nervousness, irritations and other negative words kind of just left my body. I change focus. I no longer really care for better and things happening. So I am planning on a new focus with new thigns and Motley Crue is to be still a part of it but in a far more relaxed way.
I know Sixx is not gonna change. And with the latest on Vince Neil having a stroke – it was a long time coming – I do not see things gettinga ny better. I would hope for his sake that he now decides to just retire. Face the facts he is playing with fire and has for decades. He needs to not have a touring life. Sixx needs to come to terms with a more relaxed and better place in the background not in the damn spotlight all the time. Tommy – I dont know man, he at tiems seems like he has found his adulthood in himself then again no. Mick, well I just hope he gets to put out another record and possibly a book. An honest to god book with no bullshit.
The site has gotten a few updates again and more is to come. The hopefully new me will take me through the last bit of darkness here now and see me come out with a balanced mind and not to be so pissed at the world no more. It takes up all of me. And I am beginning to see that life is perhaps not so fucking easy to just self control as they say out there – not anymore.
12 February,
It just does not end. The tragedy. The happenings around the band and or members of Motley Crue.
A plane owned by lead singer Vince Neil was in Arizona`s Scottsdale Airport involved n a fatal accident on Monday afternoon, according to officials.
One person died after an airplane, a Learjet 35A, crashed into a parked plane, a Gulfstream 200 business jet, after landing at Scottsdale Airport, a Scottsdale Fire Department spokesperson, confirmed the death and four injuries, adding that two people are in critical condition.
Kelli Kuester, a spokesperson for Scottsdale Airport, said at an evening news briefing that the Learjet was arriving from Austin, Texas, and veered off the runway into a parked jet. The arriving plane's left main gear appeared to have failed upon landing, causing the collision, Kuester said. VinceNeil was not on the plane. But his wife Rain seems to have suffered quite hard. Five broken ribs and what not. “More specific details regarding the collision are not available as this is a rapidly evolving situation,”
All in all I have a bit of hard time, taking in all that is going on, the bad stories of happenings - before they go public. I must admit I wonder if the band and the mebers truly can continue to hold it together till the Sixx wish - 2031. To mark the 50th anniversary.
I do not see this happening with too much live activity at least. But then again they are stubborn, ego minded creeps that have won over tons of strange and serious stuff. However they are not youngsters no more.
I can only look at myself and honestly say life changes man, and there are so many things that plays a part and a new part the older you get. I DO NOT LIKE IT but there is no way around it at all. There simply is not.
On a better note the site is updated with passes, articles, Mick solo stuff, laminates and a few other things. I am as we speak waiting for some stuff from my Japanese friend Torigo, and some magazines from my other friend of the Czech Republic. And then ofcause a friend in America that has gotten hold of some other small stuff.
Paul Miles, most remember him from his site is chronological Crue, The Dirt book, his own time tracking books of happenings in the Crue world. He is now out this week with two new books filled with interviews of people working with being realted to or has a story in the Crue history. There are as said two books part one and two. Fairly cheap small pocket size books. They are to be expected soon. Could be interesting to read. Unsure but some its and parts probably.
In about a month it is time ofr the 3rd round of a Crue Recidency in Las Vegas. I have personally covered the first two. Not attending the third to come. It is with bitter sweetness, that I stay put at home. I would have loved to say all three - merch wise - fully covered. But it is not going to happen. The singer of London (yes Nikki old band though different singer) is going to be there and has already said he would be happy to help if wanted. But I just do not see it right now. How that should be possible. -However it is a month away from now. So not putting too much headacke into it today.
There are simply too much else going on in the daily thing called life.
I am in the middle of a "new demanded life" trying to find whats is to be my normal and be fine with it. It is a test that I say is massive and highly emotional and stressful.
But it is a life that is not to be ignored or say no to. It is not my choice. I have not a say it this - So right now a recidency ... can be and have what ever it wants. There is no room for it here right now.
10 February,
So ...mid February and kind of back to square one in form of shitty situations. Just started work. Now just ended the same. Extremely weird story and never mind that here.
It really only kind of fucks up hopes and wished for planning about the spring. The year of the Theatre Of Pain anniversary and what comes on that album. It is my all time favorite era. Not my favorite album, but I had hoped for a chance, finally a chance to cover at least that with a new job. I am not saying I will not get another and soon maybe even but this was just the very good and cool one to really be in selfcontrol and work solo all day every day. God damn it.
New black and white versions of last years small action figures from Shout At The Devil is out now as well. April 12 - coomes record store day release of the "Smokin In The Boys Room" picture disc. The first step towards the Theatre album cellebration of the year. A boxset comes later. Really hope it will be and get better than the Dr. one but I highly doubt it. Such a sad shitty result as a deluxe boxset if you ask me. Well I gladly just wait and see what comes and how it is. Next year Too Fast For Love and then I guess a box in 2027 for the Girls Girls Girls one. And since they ONLY focus on these five first releases - I wonder if thats it.
A wild guess is since Nikki so wish for reaching the 50th anniversary 2031 with this band, I predict some other put together shit for the 20th time between 2028 and 2031.
Sixx is then 72 and I guess they are for sure ending their entering the stage days. Some of us, a good few actually have already ended ours with the band, but still we collect and cellebrates the old times.
A renewal of the rights and the year of Mcrueloyalty.dk is in place. There can now be done things for yet another year on here.
I am still in process of many detailed somethings and I still have sections not even touched yet. So there are still stuff to get added on here and the flow of expanding slowly but surely. Have other ideas for the site as well but let me just see how it all unfolds. I am not with energy nor focus or time on my hands to do new sections and stuff on here right now.
January 21,
Tuesday and a panic attack later. I have had an absolutely terrifying last 24 hours. The fear of not fighting myself back to the old happy me after all in the year to come. I NEED IT TO STAY ALIVE. There is not much question in my body any more to that subject. I just had a day that tried to tell me – why keep fighting? Youll loose this battle too. All this round you your collecting thing the love and passion for it will be washed away fom the failed efforts in the different things you try to win over and exchange for better in this god forsaken year 2025.
It is so a sign to me that I hav gone through too much hard shit in too long a time. Too tough stuff for being how I AM not maybe for many others but this is clearly what I can handle. Not to be adding any more now. It has to stop here. I need better more smooth and enjoyable times.
I really need to get through this – it feels like February March April are crucial.It is now or not really at all. It is so hard to see and win over in just ”beliving” it will get better.
The Mcrueloyalty site has gotten a few more things done. Soon all laminates and passes sections are updated as well. I am so thrilled that all this now is ..lets say available and uploaded far more control now I know and can actually see on here what I have. No more guessing games.
My brother just found a mint condition theatre era rolled poster I will get later on. Man that is not the best period music wise. But it is most certainly my personal favorite era of the band, as it was so unique and so extremely cool a tour. That tour and arena set up with ONLY songs from three first albums by a still young band … wauu!!! Killer evenings.
I have a handful of days left to get the last bits downstairs in place and I will do all I can to make it get completed. But hopefully we will manage the last laying items for the sections online as well before Sunday. We will see.
Later – hopefully less stressed.
January 16,
Wie geths? Alles gut, oder? Well somehow yeah things are I guess ganz gut. Quite alright. I am still in dialogue with one individual that looks at people with a completely different mindset and not one of these ”ohh but you have to do this and this it says so on page 32 in the rulebook of …
Fuck that – I have had enough of all that I tell you how to look when to look and what to see say and how to react. Fuck that crap. The so called ”jantelagen” here it is thick as a century. ENOUGH. It is time to take old Tommy back. I have located him – he just needs to be dug out completely and dusted off.
I can not wait to get back to what I used to be and just stand my ground, this time with a twist. The world has changed and it is a sick, sick, sick place to be. A few 100 people in each country tells you whats doable being the goverment. And narrowing it down to be even closer to the – you – there is a boss or two that tells you sometimes how to do what to do how much and is more than willing to require YOU the individual to change to fit in at their little place on earth called a company. I am just so god damn sick and tired of it all.
I am going to work again after a long period of being unemplyed. This time I will watch my steps and try to make certain people see and hear me differently. Constantly active constantly coming with ideas. And try to make the local society see a type of activist or idea filled persona…
I am with a bit of a cold and so is my girlfrined so it is a bit tough to spread focus on the site right these days. But it will be fixed and it will be great shortly. The friend in america Jeff is sending a box late next week to me. Not too bad. Even my Japanese friend has maieled me again and said I have a few things gathered and I will late this month rap it all up and mail that out as well. So stuff is for sure coming in. I am still very interested in the bands story and to watch from a distance to see what todas version does to the band and see how the individuals are tackling this legendary name in rock is quite interesting. It is not the same band anymore so very far from it. But I am still looking in and taking notes… so to speak.
It may not be fully politically correct how my view on people and poor comfort (as I see it as) is these days. It really feels like the religion and positive light and truth, give and receive and what not is so far gone these days in the modern day society.
Show yourself! Don't hide, Show yourself! We lose the light, Show yourself! No angel in distress.
No god shows himself, the sky turns red!! Sorry but no there is no such thing and there surely dont seem to be even room for that these days.
Both the band Motley Crue and … the largest most powerful countries are ruled by ego minded selfish economic greedy dangerous men and could surely not give a flying fuck about the you or the me for even a second. No it is time to find the small holes in the darkness and crawl out of there and regain the me for myself thing and feeling. I am giving myself a task now to test what I would love to win over and get to see happening for both myself and all ”trapped” people in the area of where I live. Then ofcause it is up to them to grab the chance, the invite when it comes.
January 13,
Friday the … no wait Monday the 13th. Ha, hell who would have thought. THAT date and yet at the other end of the list of weekdays – Monday but yet the 13th would give me the first chance to rip apart one of my ”hell” pages. Unemployment – is history – for a while anyways. I got a job woth the trying out – testing period – of two months. January 27th Monday in two weeks tim, I am officially one of the staff members at Folkan Theater in town. It will take me a good 4 to 6 months to get back on track BUT!!! It is a way – to get there. Back on track. Bless … the children of the beast … lol.
Now the site is also up for a new renewal yearly payment to continue and all stuff just gets more and more expensive to do and to have. But i will cover it. No matter the shitty costs. And Mcrueloyalty continues. Latest updates have been done. Shirts, tickets, vinyls and some solo stuff updated. Feels quite good to say so, and know its an actual fact.
Damn it man, there are so many things to do on this site and so much wished for in the new year to try to get into the light of actual succesfull and active happenings.
Tomorrow – we continue to do these updates and get to have some things sorted and dealt with. Shall all be great.
Lisa (my girl) is sick again …so that could possibly be soemthign to work with if can cope. I for one am almost fully done with the re organized downstairs which is holding the collection. Can still be a bit over the top to get in perfected state as a ”Rock joint” ha, ha, ha but, it is so close that I am only happy about the done hard work and now its clear. Clear that the next one and a half week is all in the name of the ”get the rest done before work ones again calls upon me”
Amen!!!
