In between bouts of arguing over whether or not to sign with Live Nation, Motley Crue has apparently been recording songs for a new album, its first studio venture since 2000′s New Tattoo and the first full-length to have the original Vince/Nikki/Mick/Tommy lineup on board since Generation Swine. (Which came out 11 years ago!) In what may be an effort to remind the world that they are still bad-ass mofos despite Tommy Lee’s reality-tv misadventures and Mick Mars’ fraility, the album will be called The Dirt, which those of you who enjoy salacious rock-star biographies may remember as the title of the sex-and-drug-filled Crue biography that came out in 2001. Nikki Sixx has said that two of the song titles are “A Scar On Hollywood Boulevard” and “The Saints Of Los Angeles”; reports that the album also features a between-song interlude called “Do You Know Where That Breakfast Burrito Has Been?” are unconfirmed at present. [Blabbermouth]

Nikki’s been doing pretty well cross-promoting his The Heroin Diaries book with an album of the same name by his new band, sounds like he’s just attempting to replicate that synergistic marketing approach with the Crue.
Plus, they only know one other book, and “The Yellow Pages” is a stupid fucking name for a record.
@Camp Tiger Claw: Aw, you’re making Pleaseeasaur cry.
Believe it or not, “The Dirt” and “The Heroin Diaries” were two of the most entertaining books I’ve ever read.
@Ned Raggett: /bows down
@christopher tracy: Oh “The Dirt” is awesome, I totally agree. I decided to forego “The Heroin Diaries” for the time being, though, as I got Slash’s autobio for Christmas.
Would I lose any cool cred if I stated I never cared for the Crue, even as a metalhead preteen during their glory years?
@Al Shipley: Slash’s book is on my list of autobio’s I MUST read right after I finish Steve Martin’s. But I highly, highly recommend “The Heroin Diaries” mainly for two reasons: You’ll learn that a) Vanity, of Vanity 6 fame, was a monstrous coke addict and almost broke apart The Crue, and b) EVERYBODY HATES/HATED VINCE NEIL!
I enjoyed listening to 1980s Crue. But as to reading, just click on that “breakfast burrito” link, and you’ll see why a whole book from one of those guys hasn’t gone on my reading list!
The conversation is very reminiscent of those late-night, drunken college-dorm topics we’ve all heard. I wonder how well that stuff went over when Tommy went to college in Nebraska?
hahahaha “current level”
