Mötley Crüe, the world’s most notorious rock band, has revealed that this summer they, along with Buckcherry, Papa Roach, SIXX:AM and Trapt, will head out on the road for what will undoubtedly be the hottest ticket of the year for rock fans – “Crüe Fest ‘08.” The tour, produced by Live Nation, kicks off on July 1st and will hit over 40 major North American and Canadian cities by the end of August. Fans that can’t wait for this weekend’s online sale can get their tickets early by going to TheRockvine.com.

On-site activities will include a 2nd “Stage” presented by Rock Band where fans attending the show can play the part of “rock star” while playing the game. A special Crüe Fest CD featuring tracks from all of the bands on the tour will be available exclusively at Best Buy beginning June 17th.

Mötley Crüe also announced the upcoming release of Saints of Los Angeles, their first new studio album recorded with all of the original band members in over a decade, hitting stores on June 17th. The band premiered the brand new single, “Saints Of Los Angeles,” at today’s press conference in LA. The song includes backing vocals by Josh Todd (Buckcherry), Jacoby Shaddix (Papa Roach), James Michael (SIXX:A.M.) and Chris Brown (Trapt). In an industry first, the song was also made available as a download for the Rock Band video game simultaneously with its single release.

Lyrically, the new album follows the story of the band’s NY Times best-selling memoir The Dirt, a no-holds-barred tell-all that features every gritty detail of the band’s exploits as one of the world’s biggest rock bands.

What part of Solo Careers and Motley Crue Members just don’t mix, don’t you understand. Vince Neil should have told you…it doesn’t work. Tommy Lee should have told you three time, (Mothers Of Mayhem…pppbbbbbbbb! Tommy Lee…ppppbbbbb!, Supernova…ppppbbbb.) It doesn’t work. If Mick Mars had a solo career it’s obvious that it didn’t work cause I haven’t heard of his yet..perhaps he’s the only one that figured that algorithm out. But it just may have been the fact that his bone disorder kept him from pursuing a dead end solo career. I don’t know. Brides of destruction sucked, that should have been Sixx’s first clue. Even Motley Crue with a new singer failed, we all know that!

Sixx A.M. Is not as bad as I imagined it was going to be…but it was still bad. So I say, stick to what works. Motley Crue works. Even if your touring doing all the old shit. Its still better than dumping a boatload of money into a solo career that goes nowhere. Sure sometimes you have to take risks in life, but at the same time you need to learn from others downfalls. I give you a big fat valley girl HELLOOOO!

To the media thats giving him all this coverage. I guess its cool to flaunt addicts these days because addiction sells. Dave Mustaine had a heroin addiction for year and years that he wasn’t proud of it and when he finally kicked it he didn’t have a press conference. He may have written a few songs about it but in no way was he proud of it. Most people that have addictions just want to put it behind them and tear that chapter out of their book of life, not cash in on it. Grow up, your 49 years old, for christ sake! There are a million people out there that have kicked addiction. Should we give them a book deal? Oh thats right, we only give celebrity addicts book deals because that makes things interesting. Does it? I had a friend that turned himself and his wife into heroin addicts and ended up losing custody of their child because of it and then he died from an overdose. Did I find that interesting? No, in fact I don’t think he would have wanted it publicized, but his wife is sober as far as I know and she has custody of their daughter. It’s real…not real TV!

They should just write a new book about the whole band called “Addicts, Murderers, and Porn Stars”. Its sad what sells these days…and by the way…your hair cut is as bad as your record!
