MÖTLEY CRÜE To Play Two Shows With THE ROLLING STONES: Dates Announced

August 26, 2005

MÖTLEY CRÜE have been confirmed as the support act for THE ROLLING STONES at the following dates:

Oct. 30 - Seattle, WA - KeyArena
Nov. 01 - Portland, OR - Rose Garden Arena

MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx recently told MTV.com that he expects to begin work on a new CRÜE album in May 2006, after extensive touring in the U.S., Japan and Australia.

"We did some pretty diverse records throughout our career," Sixx told MTV.com. "We've gone from 'Dr. Feelgood' to the [1994 self-titled] John Corabi record to 'Generation Swine', and it was all based on us just being creative. Some of it was more accepted, some of it was less accepted, but if you look at the history of the band, from the first record on, we've always done something fresh."

Regarding the musical direction of the upcoming album, Sixx said, "I don't want to be part of that trend where bands that have been around for more than 20 years become mellow," he said. "Even with U2, a band I respect, everything has this older, mellower feel to it. You hear that in a lot of rock bands. I don't mind having ballads and medium tempo songs — I just hope we never become a bunch of pussies."
