Motley Crue?

[LZ_69]

I didn't even know they where still around.....but hey!! this is interesting, I will be checking it out ASAP.:cool:

"On April 15th for Xbox 360 and April 17th for Playstation 3 , we will be releasing Mötley Crüe's new single “Saints of Los Angeles". This will make the Crüe the first ever band to release a single through our game. More info below."


“Saints of Los Angeles” by Mötley Crüe (master)

[chaopolis]

Well.... I can safely say that none of us saw that coming... NEAT!

[R4di4ti0n]

rofl....the only reason they are releasing through RB, is because no radio wanted them.

Still, its a buck...

Check it out. Its ok. Ima buy it.

[Dalamari]

I'm tempted to buy it just so it encourages other bands to release through RB

[LZ_69]

I was a big Motley Crue fan back in the day, I can definetly see myself getting this track. But more importantly it finally confirms what we been waiting for some time, that bands would release singles exclusively for Rockband...sure it's not the hottest of bands at the moment but it's a great start!.

Am I the only person that finds the constant battle between RB and GH hilarious?

GH: We've got a brand new single from a popular 80's band for download in a pack this month!

RB: Oh yeah?!? Well we've got a brand new single from a popular 80's band too, but we're going to offer it by itself for a dollar!

GH: We've got a brand new single from a popular 80's band for download in a pack this month!

RB: Oh yeah?!? Well we've got a brand new single from a BETTER popular 80's band too, AND we're going to offer it by itself for a dollar!

Fixed just a bit :)

[StiffKleenex]

Can't pass up a deal. Ill get it tomorrow.

[defmonkey]

So hopefully we'll get some Earlier Crue down the road.... Right?

Anything off of "Too Fast for Love" would be great.

But more importantly it finally confirms what we been waiting for some time, that bands would release singles exclusively for Rockband...sure it's not the hottest of bands at the moment but it's a great start!.Is it really exclusive? I mean, "releasing through the game" could just mean it comes out first in Rock Band with releases in other formats later.

Even if it is an exlusive release window that's still a big deal, though.

For that matter, where are the youtube videos coming from if it isn't out yet? Random people leaking it early?

You got great point, of course I didn't know about the youtube videos or that this song even existed. Still I may have used the word "exclusive" a little too loosely.:o

[NinjaSlothboy]

Hey, that's actually pretty cool. I didn't know the crue was still around but I'll have to snag this one.

"I'd buy THAT for a dollar!"

[Abaddon]

The other interesting thing is this is the first time we've ever had a "double release" -- meaning we get the Classic Pack AND we get the Crue single, both announced separately, in the same week.

Every time you think you understand Harmonix's DLC release process they mix it up... :D

[mercuryshadow09]

Wow where have you people been, This is from February, read and enjoy Crue fan's.

http://www.metalsludge.tv/home/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1416&Itemid=42

[Sveppi]

Sweet, this is shaping up to be one of the most awesome DLC week ever, for me atleast (Because of 2 Three Packs, Still Alive and This as well as being a PS3 user).

Also, this means they beat GH in releasing a single for the first time in a video game. Bravo HMX well played :D

[Abaddon]

Wow where have you people beenClearly not reading Metal Sludge ;)

[smar19]

As much as i would rather play some "Dr Feelgood" or "Girls Girls Girls" this is definitly better then nothing and it gives me my 3rd song for the week cuz i wasnt planning on getting "Message in a Bottle" in the regular weekly pack.

[jeccaneko]

Check it out. Its ok. Ima buy it.

I like how it has the classic Motley Crue sound. Nice. I'm probably going to pick it up.

[dady5000]

Cool.........................

[Trueblade76]

hopefully this is the start of a lot more Crue songs on Rock Band. Open the flood gates HMX!

[daprovida]

We need the Shout at the Devil Album!!! Hell YES!

[PacoL250]

We need the Shout at the Devil Album!!! Hell YES!

Agreed. :)

[sillystou]

I'll give it to HMX, they never fail to impress us :D

[smar19]

Yes the entire shout album would be sweet , i think the best thing harmonix could ever do instead of picking any certain album is just pick a band and release there greatest hits album if that band has one which most do.

Motley Crue Greatest Hits motley/beyond (http://www.google.com/musicl?lid=miJpQdyHfoI&aid=guAhKOtcHHD)
Def Leppard VAULT 1995 (http://www.google.com/musicl?lid=1ILl0f7edQO&aid=DCcIv4LvakB)
Guns N Roses Greatest Hits 2004 (http://www.google.com/musicl?lid=IG5JlARlW5O&aid=Hopxqjb_9ZI)
Ozzy Ozbourne The Essential Ozzy Osbourne (http://www.google.com/musicl?lid=foaZgdDS1iB&aid=4XI4lXx_ZaG)
just to name a few i would flip for.

[Vedderman]

I was and am a big Crue fan and am definitely getting this.

As other's have said it has that classic Crue sound...makes you feel dirty. :)

Anyone else picturing the chart when listening to it? Solo should be fun.

[supersonic1414]

This is great. what time does the DLC go up again? Is it 4 or 5 am EST?

[AeroZeppelinSevenfold]

we need more Motley Crue, this just shows that they support rock band.

the song is good, but i want to play to some others, like:
Shout at the Devil (needs to come back form guitar hero)
Kickstart My Heart (super catchy)
Dr. Feelgood (love it)
Same Old Situation (SOS)
Smokin in the Boys Room (everybody does it!)
and Girls, Girls, Girls (oh Yeah)
MOTLEY SIX PACK!!!!!

[A New Pyro Fool]

I knew Harmonix wouldn't just let Guitar Hero 3 get the first songs ever that were released in a game before the album was out.

Take that Def Leppard.

[Fatal_T]

Just listened to Saints of Los Angeles - sounds a lot like old Crue, maybe around the Girls, Girls, Girls era...

Hopefully we'll see more from the Crue in the future! (I vote for Too Young To Fall In Love!)

[Knights_of_Ni]

gave it a listen and will most DEFINITLY be giving it a download. It's just amazing how many old bands are coming back together here in the 21st century. Motley Crue and Def Leppard releasing new material, Iron Maiden with their entire world tour, and Rush is on tour right now also.

[richardtr]

rofl....the only reason they are releasing through RB, is because no radio wanted them.

Still, its a buck...

ok dude... Did you hear this track yet? Wow! The Crue is back and will school your ass! RB needs more 80's!!!!!!!!!!

ahh... that takes me back....

As David Lee Roth once said, Where have all the good times gone????

[Kenny22]

Hell yes! I'm buying this! This song is so badass... The Crue is back and in full swing! I also do hope that there older material gets released eventually but what a great surprise for tomorrow! Thanks HMX, you guys have really been on the ball this week! Keep up the great work!

MOTLEY SIX PACK!!!!!

That would be the perfect six pack to me as well...

[Mex]

Hmm...I love the Crue but.... just listened to this on youtube and I gotta say I'm a little disappointed. I'm glad they went with the classic Crue sound and aren't trying to be something they are not, but I just didn't like the song.

[mercuryshadow09]

Another Crue fan here, yes classic Crue sound, that's how the whole album's supposed to be, i can't wait, anyway i don't think i've properly welcomed you to the forum's, welcome.

[pdawg17]

I'm with you on this one...classic sound but not a great song...

[Joatmon]

That Is Awesome!!

More Crue!!

[Sarge51]

At least it doesn't sound like crap as they try to cope with today's music, it actually sounds like the old Motley Crue... Now if we could get SHOUT AT THE DEVIL and SMOKIN IN THE BOYS ROOM or KICKSTART MY HEART!

[Serpentd]

Hell YES for the Crue!! Motley Crue rules (in there own sort of way). Plus I'm not too sure where everyones been because I saw their reunion tour in the summer of '05.

I personally think this is a kick ass song for this being the first time hearing it. We need LOTS more Crue and other 80's bands similar to this. This is the one era of music that is totally missing from RB, unless I'm overlooking something here and I don't think I am.

80's rock has always been fun party music, plus this was the music that was around when I was a teenager. I got TOO Fast For Love in 1982 or '83. I would love some LIVE WIRE!! Theres a song to get you fired up, along with Shout At The Devil of coarse (Full Album). MORE MOTLEY CRUE!! This is very good news for me and some others I know like Mr mercuryshadow09.;)

[Sarge51]

2 Crue songs for Harmonix. This is good. I now think we can expect future Motley Crue for Rock Band safely now.

[Serpentd]

I'm with you on this one...classic sound but not a great song...

Give it a bit of time and I'm sure it will grow on you the more you listen/play it. It's pretty typical for a Crue song to do this. But yes, trying to compair this new song to the classics we all know and love is hard to do. Regardless it the Crue and that's just good news by itself.;)

Yes this is good new's for me, open's the door for more Crue, how awesome would Skid Row be? Oh yeah and i want some of that tire rubber you were talking about over in CENA's thread.

[Serpentd]

Cool man. I'm working on it. The guy that posted that he also races RC cars has NO CLUE on what I am talking about. He's thinking of tire inserts for totally different types of tires, totally different then what I am talking about. I did take some pics to show you guys what I am talking about and will post those so it makes more sence on what I'm talking about. I just need to resize and crop etc. But yeah man, I've been working with it some and you my firend will be one of the first to have some of this stuff, I promise.

Thanks for the reminder and will try and get those pics up tonight after a little bit of RB.;)

We both DEFINITELY have the same taste in our "80's" music, so I'm all for the Skid Row and seemingly endless bands of our music era that would rock balls! I'm with you 100% buddy.

Anyway, I'll keep you posted with the rubber for your pedal my friend.;):)

Alright sound's good, i have faith we'll get a hair band pack rather than an 80's pack, hopefully sooner than later.

[Konador]

Please let it cost 80 points for Europe too when we get the game! We've missed so many half-price songs already - this would just be rubbing salt in the wounds!

[Serpentd]

Alright sound's good, i have faith we'll get a hair band pack rather than an 80's pack, hopefully sooner than later.

Yeah, well that's what I was trying to say.LOL 80's Hair band pack (6 Pack Please) because the large amount of killer songs that exists there...you of all people know what I mean.;)

Hell, I could think of 6 killer tunes by Skid Row alone. But just a good variety would be sweet. I hope trully hope it's sooner then later. Maybe this Motley Crue song will stir things up a bit. Here's to hoping!:)

[Sarge51]

80's Pack would have to be a 20 pack. :D

[Strutter]

This is great news. Just listened to it and am definitely going to purchase it today. I'm hoping for a lot more of the 80's rock, to me it's something RB could use more of. This kind of music is fun to play as a full band, and the hair band rock/metal stuff just kicks butt anyways.

Good job HMX.

[mercuryshadow09]

80's Pack would have to be a 20 pack. :D

Hell i think they should just make a stand alone Hair Band.

[Sarge51]

Hell i think they should just make a stand alone Hair Band.

You mean Rock the 80's with had hardly NO real hair bands other than Poison? :P

[mercuryshadow09]

No Hair Band, not New Wave Band.

[Serpentd]

Hell i think they should just make a stand alone Hair Band.

I like your way of thinking! In all honesty, the material is out there. I really don't think we have any true 80's hair band in the game now that I think about it. Yes we have 80's music, but not what we're talking about.

Harmonixs...hello...anyone?? Can you hear us??:)

Harmonixs...hello...anyone?? Can you hear us??:)

We should start our own list, here i'll start,

-Youth Gone Wild-Skid Row
-Wild Side-Motley Crue
-Up All Night-Slaughter
It's not exactly hair metal but,
-Rock Soldier's-Ace Frehley
-Wild Child-WASP

[Sarge51]

Bon Jovi - You Give Love, A Bad Name

Oh how I would cream my new boxers. :o

[mercuryshadow09]

Bon Jovi - You Give Love, A Bad Name

Oh how I would cream my new boxers. :o

You should add another Crue song to that list, just a suggestion.

[Sarge51]

Shout At The Devil
Smokin' in the Boys Room
Dr. Feel Good
Girls Girls Girls
Kickstart My Heart
Too Young to Fall In Love
Too Fast for Love
Looks that Kill
Shout At The Devil Demo/97'. :D

-Livewire for sure. Oh good list by the way.

[DETHBLOW]

Well, I am definitely buying it. For a $1, how could you go wrong. And I agree with one of the above posters about if it sells well, other bands may jump on the early release bandwagon. I believe Metallica is also releasing a track from their next album.

[sixx5150]

crue heads are the best **** the rest!cant wait for more motley

[Sarge51]

-Livewire for sure.

That's the only one I didn't want to put in my post due it being kind of 'different'.

But I guess Too Fast for Love and Too Young to Fall in Love is different, too.


I don't care too much for Metallica's newer music. I'm still waiting on a Metallica Album. =|

I hear the new Metallica album will be more like they're old stuff.

[DETHBLOW]

Talking about hair metal, here are some songs I would like to see:

Uncle Toms Cabin - Warrant
Here I go Again - Whitesnake
Talk Dirty to Me - Poison
Seventeen - Winger
*** on Feel the Noize - Quiet Riot
Youth Gone Wild - Skid Row
Tease Me Please Me - Scorpions

Feel free to add your own.

[Goshdarnit]

Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be downloading this. BUT I just want to say how great an idea I think this is. I hope more bands will do stuff like this. And it was a surprise "extra" to this week's DLC (well it surprised me anyway). All in all, well done. Just not the song for me, but Kudos anyway!

[Serpentd]

You should add another Crue song to that list, just a suggestion.

LIVE WIRE. This is where it all started for me with Motley Crue. I'm WAY stoked about finally getting some Motley Crue. Even though it's not there 80's stuff, it's still the CRUE!!!

[_Tronix_]

Well...thank god the Crue song still has some 80's feel to it. But I figured they would do something like this. Wait near 6 months and finally get 1 80's hair metal song and its something noone really knows or grew up enjoying. I will get this but I would easily pay double for any of the well known songs by them in place of this one, just for the fact I may have to wait 6 more months.

People listen to music because it usually has something that they can identify with. This is also known as the "hook". I dont know how many of you play real instruments but when you play a song that you love it gives you goosebumps and a rush that is hard to explain. Kind of like a natural high. But when someone in the crowd requests a song you don't know or don't care for playing it seems like you just want it to be over with.

And being that this game is similar to playing real music because it takes skill to do why would you want to keep drudging repeatedly through songs that you dont understand or care for?

[juhaaan]

rofl....the only reason they are releasing through RB, is because no radio wanted them.

Still, its a buck...

Don't f'uck with the crue!

I'm buying it !

[squiggerz]

I just sat through an 88% ****fest of a sightread for this song (sorry to whoever did that on youtube..it..just..sucked..k?). I have to say, even with the crappy guitar missing every third note, I could still hear so much rock in this song. Definitely buying.

I was impressed, I was really expecting another 'If I Die Tomorrow' type of thing, nice to see some of these bands coming around to the realization that they don't have to change their style anymore to get listeners.

*Crosses fingers that Metallica pulls it off too*

[Fleshwound]

Freaking Awsome.

[Vedderman]

Nice, just saw a full band 5* on youtube of this song and I'm even more excited than I was before.

Great charts.

[v1g1lance1]

Yeah - drum chart looks like a blast! I'll be picking up all the DLC this week :)

[phorty40]

i thought nothing of it when i bought didnt even preview it , but damn if that isnt one hell of a song and fun to play too!

great week overall!
