MÖTLEY CRÜE Recall Last New Year's Eve Controversy

December 30, 2005

Launch Radio Networks reports: MÖTLEY CRÜE will welcome 2006 with a New Year's Eve show tomorrow (Saturday, December 31) in Auburn Hills, Michigan. It was last New Year's Eve that frontman Vince Neil uttered the F-word on NBC's "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno", setting off a firestorm of reaction that included threats of fines and other FCC sanctions. Bassist Nikki Sixx told Launch that the CRÜE won't have to worry about good behavior this year. "We got some good stuff planned," he said. "We're gonna say 'fuck' 100,000 times, I promise you that. Give a big, happy fucking New Year, and no one will have their panties in a wad."

No actions were ultimately taken against either NBC or MÖTLEY CRÜE regarding the "Tonight Show" incident.

The New Year's Eve gig kicks off the CRÜE's 30-date Carnival of Sins 2006 tour.

MÖTLEY CRÜE plan to enter the studio on May 1 to start work on a new studio album.
