Classic '80s sleaze hard rockers Motley Crue are experiencing a renaissance and taking full advantage.
Speaking to Billboard, bassist Nikki Sixx laid out plans for myriad new projects for the band. Motley Crue will join the Route Of All Evil Tour with Aerosmith to follow up their Red, White And Crue world reunion tour, Sixx saying, "I think both bands work together great but they're different enough where it's not going to get boring."The band is also heavily involved in the lead up to production of a MTV/Paramount film based of the debauchery featured in their book The Dirt. The film is due for release in 2007. Sixx also revealed that he will soon launch a clothing line called Royal Underground, as well as a book of his own, called 'The Heroin Diaries: A Year in the Life of a Shattered Rock Star.'
Most importantly, he confirmed that Motley Crue will release a new album, the first with the original line-up since 1997's 'Generation Swine'. But Sixx did note that while they've been writing, the release may be a long while off, "There's a lot of [new] music but I don't feel any urgency."
