MÖTLEY CRÜE's 'Biography' To Air On A&E

February 17, 2009

MÖTLEY CRÜE is the subject of a new episode of the A&E series "Biography" airing Thursday night (February 19) at 10:00 p.m. ET on the cable channel. A preview can be seen below.

A decription of the program reads as follows: "The poster boys for Eighties hair metal, MÖTLEY CRÜE parlayed whiplash hard-rock songs, melodic power ballads and a hedonistic image into platinum-level heavy-metal superstardom, topping the charts with 'Dr. Feelgood' and coming close with 'Theatre of Pain', 'Girls, Girls Girls' and a greatest-hits collection. MÖTLEY CRÜE lived the rock-and-roll lifestyle to its fullest, with celebrity marriages, substance abuse and scrapes with the law."

MÖTLEY CRÜE will make an official announcement for this summer's Crüe Fest — the second edition of the CRÜE's own festival-style package tour — on Monday, March 16. Until then, the official Crüe Fest 2web site is hosting the countdown clock. Additionally, a hotline has been established. Fans can call 818-748-9075 to hear a pre-recorded message from CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx. Long-distance charges apply.

While last year's lineup featured PAPA ROACH, BUCKCHERRY, and TRAPT in addition to the CRÜE, drummer Tommy Lee told The Pulse of Radio that he'd like to shake things up this time around: "ROB ZOMBIE's name came up, GODSMACK, ALICE COOPER ... I know there's been a few names flying around, but no disrespect with the last lineup, I thought it was, you know, really great, but I'd like to see it just change slightly. I don't know about you, but it's a little hard for me personally to sit there and listen to, you know, six hours of kind of the same music. Just a little bit more variety could be kind of fun to inject into that."

MÖTLEY CRÜE kicked off a new North American arena tour on February 2 in San Diego, with HINDER, THEORY OF A DEADMAN, and newcomers THE LAST VEGAS also on the bill. The trek will last through March 18, when it winds down in Portland, Maine.
