Mötley Crüe continues to make headlines, with the following new items developing over the last week:
1. On March 16, the full lineup for Crüe Fest 2: The White Trash Circus was finally announced during a press conference at Fuse's New York City. Godsmack, Theory Of A Deadman, Drowning Pool and Charm City Devils will all be hitting the road with the Crüe this summer, starting July 19 in Camden, N.J. and ending Sept. 5 in Darien Lake, N.Y. "This is what we imagined when we came up with the idea of Crüe Fest last summer—putting together the most kick ass bands on one bill for a day of rock," says Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx. "All of the bands on this tour compliment the others—musically, theatrically and passionately." The Mötley men arrived at the press conference in an old-fashioned ambulance, accompanied by two scantily clad "nurses." Why the throwback to the Dr. Feelgood days? The band is using Crüe Fest 2 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their first No. 1 record by playing the entire album from beginning to end each night of the tour. Visit the official Crüe Fest 2 website for additional information and the latest tour dates.
Godsmack's Sully Erna, Drowning Pool's Ryan McCombs, Nurse #1, Vince Neil, Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee, MicK Mars, Nurse #2, Theory of a Deadman's Tyler Connolly and Charm City Devils' John Allen
2. The Crüe is offering a free MP3 download of their new single, “White Trash Circus.” Get the song here.
3. A DVD documenting the inaugural Crüe Fest hits stores March 24. Footage from the 2008 jaunt featuring Mötley Crüe, Buckcherry, Papa Roach, Trapt and Sixx A.M. make up the 2-disc set.
4. And, lastly, Carrie Underwood has recorded a version of the Crüe ballad "Home Sweet Home." The song will air each week as the farewell theme for the voted-off contestants leaving American Idol. Additionally, a portion of the proceeds from the digital single will benefit The Humane Society of the United States. "I’ve always loved this song and, besides being very fitting for Idol, to me, the title is also very fitting with animal rescue and finding animals their own homes," says Underwood. Carrie has shown her love for Mötley Crüe in the past by performing "Kickstart My Heart" live onstage in Nashville with Vince Neil during one of his solo shows in 2008.
