MÖTLEY CRÜE's SIXX Says Songwriting For New Album Has Already Begun

March 10, 2005

In a brand new interview with Doug Podell of Detroit's WRIF 101.1 FM, MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx confirmed that the group has commenced work on the material for a new studio album. Asked if plans exist to release a new CD, Sixx said, "Absolutely. We're gonna do a new record. We're writing it out here [on the road], which is kind of like how 'Shout at the Devil' was written. It was written while we were playing all the time, and we were looking for stuff that worked for us live. And that's the kind of stuff that we're gonna be writing more of. I mean, 'Sick Love Song' [off the group's recent two-CD 'greatest hits' collection, 'Red, White & Crüe'], is probably a good example of where we're heading… There'll be a wide variety of stuff, as usual. So, yeah, I'm excited about the new music. But God, we're so far from getting to that point. [We're] just enjoying being here and the fact that we're going out this summer with the Carnival of Sin tour, and we've got SUM 41, THE EXIES, SILVERTIDE [opening]…"

As previously reported, MÖTLEY CRÜE will end up playing well over 100 dates in 2005. More than a dozen shows into a 50-date North American tour, the CRÜE is doing sellout or near-sellout business, according to Billboard.com. Now, the band has announced another 57 shows in North America, with a trip to Europe sandwiched between.

The first North American leg wraps May 1. The band will then play Europe and pick up again July 26 in Los Angeles for dates through Oct. 16 in Sioux City, Iowa, under the Carnival of Sin tour banner.
