August 7, 2006

Hard Rock International has announced that internationally-acclaimed hard rock band MÖTLEY CRÜE will headline the New York stop of the Ambassadors of Rock Tour. On Monday, September 18, MÖTLEY CRÜE, who is also kicking off the Root of All Evil tour with AEROSMITH in September, will take the stage at Hard Rock Cafe New York, performing legendary hits such as "Dr. Feelgood" and "Shout at the Devil". MÖTLEY CRÜE will take time out of the band's packed tour schedule to celebrate the company's 35th anniversary and to rock one of the world's most historic stages, in the former Paramount Theater, joining such greats as FRANK SINATRA, ELVIS PRESLEY and THE BEATLES. The event will be the New York stop of Hard Rock's Ambassadors of Rock Tour, a worldwide concert series to celebrate 35 years of Hard Rock.

"Our Ambassadors of Rock Tour kicked off at Hyde Park Calling in London with legendary musicians ROGER WATERS and THE WHO; the second stop is in Chicago with THE PANIC CHANNEL and ROSE HILL DRIVE; and continues to rock with MÖTLEY CRÜE in New York," said Hamish Dodds, president and CEO, Hard Rock International. "Our 35th anniversary celebration is spreading the irreverence of rock to fans all over the world."

"For years, we have had a great relationship with Hard Rock. I get calls from people every day saying that they saw our memorabilia at Hard Rock Cafes all over the world. It doesn't get more real than that," said Nikki Sixx, bass guitarist MÖTLEY CRÜE. "It's a perfect fit for us to be in New York to celebrate Hard Rock's 35th anniversary."

In addition to an unforgettable performance, the members of MÖTLEY CRÜE, lead singer Vince Neil, guitarist Mick Mars, bassist Nikki Sixx and drummer Tommy Lee, will donate several pieces of memorabilia from the band's Carnival of Sins and Red, White and Crüe tours to Hard Rock.
