Michael Monroe:
One of the most important moments of my life was meeting Vince Neil for the first time last night. Razzle always wanted us to meet as he thought ”us singers” were a lot alike. Under different circumstances both bands probably would’ve ended up as good friends, but fate had other plans…Thank you for your time, Vince. We didn’t say much but your eyes told me more than 1000 words ever could. And your singing was great at the show. Nice to finally see you guys live! ❤️Michael✨
Nikki Sixx:
I’m sure you all know how important lyrics are to me. This new set feels more personal since we haven’t recorded anything new in awhile. The studio is a highly creative space and with us recording I thought I’d try to get a creative head start on some of these for Vince. I got one done and gonna try to wrap up the next one and show it to the guys. Bob Rock is pushing us hard and bringing out the best in us. Tommy is playing his ass off. Jesus these drums sound huge. Probably lay down my final bass tracks in the next few days. John is so fast I’m sure he will get all the songs done in just a few days. But then again Bob Rock loves those huge walls of guitars so it could take a moment.😂 Gonna take a break from recording to fly to Kansas City to rehearse and then play the @nfl draft show and then back to finish it all off. (Excited about the show ) – When will it come out? Not sure. We haven’t thought that far down the line. Just letting the music guide us. Ps We had a special visitor today.

Hope everyone’s having a fun in the Sunday – Vince Neil, Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee
We are writing.The creative process of songwriting has always been the heartbeat of our band. We’re gonna go in the big studio next week and record a few off the floor and see where it goes. We don’t have a definitive plan at this point.Just letting the songs guide us.

Tommy Lee:
I deleted my “controversial” post. Because I am in no way transphobic or against LGPTQIA…Shit. I’m the gayest mutherfucker around! I just don’t agree with how far some things have been taken. I just think it’s crazy that some people are blinding themselves because they feel they should’ve been born blind.
I get being born female and identifying as male or being born male and identifying as female or whatever. But when ppl start identifying as babies or animals…WTF! I posted that because it got me thinking (and you should too) about where this and our world is all going.
AAaaand…don’t even get me started with the AI shit… before you know it, you’ll be wondering if anything in this world is real or what it seems.
Tommy Lee is getting dragged online for reposting a transphobic clip from OAN. https://t.co/jnJqnWGhQe

John 5:
I’m so honored that I got the opportunity to play guitar on one of the songs on the upcoming Dolly Parton album. I’ve been listening to Dolly ever since I can remember. Words cannot describe how exciting this is. 🙏❤️ #DollyParton #John5
Mötley Crüe’s Nikki Sixx seems to be making a habit of blocking fans on social media for being overly critical of himself or the band. With many people choosing sides, criticism has been pouring in after Mick Mars revealed that the group not only played to pre-recorded tracks on the recent Stadium Tour but also claimed that Nikki mimed his bass parts, saying they were 100% pre-recorded. If you have been blocked by Nikki and/or Mötley Crüe, you can tag us @fullinbloom on social media.
Last Thursday, Mars filed a lawsuit against his bandmates in response to a 2022 disagreement, which resulted after the guitarist informed the group that he would be retiring from touring due to his ongoing battle with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS). According to a copy of the lawsuit, Mars says the band subsequently attempted to oust him altogether and diminish any future payments to which he claims he is entitled. He is asking seven corporate organizations connected to Mötley Crüe to turn over information pertaining to their commercial activities. More info on the lawsuit @ this location.
Today on Twitter, a longtime Mötley Crüe supporter, who goes by the username “Crüefan,” posted the following message:
Crüefan:
Speak your opinion and displeasure over recent news of your favorite band and this is what ya get…👇🏻 it’s the American way! Speak up and say what’s on your mind and POW! You are not allowed an opinion without consequence.
Not sure. Compared them to milli vanilli, that could have done it 🤣 oh well.

He should worry about playing live for fans, not his online image. Life goes on.
— Crüefan (@Cruefan4) April 11, 2023
That’s what was the final straw for me, regardless how long I’ve loved this band. That comment was low! 🤘🏻

Experience the Stadium Tour through Mick’s ears.
Michael Sweet:
Not that my opinion matters (because it really doesn’t) but I wanted to at least say that Mick has always struck me as a true gentleman and a true professional.
When I was working on a solo album a few years back I reached out to Mick about playing guitar on the album. He was gracious and courteous and seemed like a real genuine guy.
I’ve always respected him as a player and IMO is an integral part of the MC sound and brand.
Whatever happens, I wish Mick Mars nothing but the best🙏
