Nikki Sixx says his band Sixx: A.M. is already at work writing for their third
album. He says it'll, "probably be a 2013 release considering the
body of work we're setting as a goal. We will be doing a proper
video for the next single soon. Tour options keep coming but we
haven't found the right fit yet to open up the conversations."
Meanwhile, concert industry

list of the Top 200 top-grossing North American tours of 2011, based

Regarding his forthcoming solo album, said to include a number of
guest musicians, Mick Mars says, "I still got to talk to my lawyer
and to the people themselves [to get clearance for them to appear on
the CD]. I know who I want to get involved with, but I don't want to
say who it is, because if I do, that would be a rumour, wouldn't it?
I don't want to start a rumour thing. But I've pretty much picked
out who I want to play with. And I'm sure they'll want to play with
me, I'm positive." He also says, "I've been working with a lot of
people, like Crashdiet and James Durbin, of course, with Twiggy
Ramirez. Lots of different people. Terry Bozzio as well. Trying to
play a lot of different things with a lot of different people, in a
lot of different styles, approaches of their music not to break
away, but to expand on what I already know. I know how to play
guitar, but I want to know even more different styles. I've been
playing weird stuff, like flamenco or Hispanic music, on guitar
solos, when I had to do that, like finger picking or gypsy kind of
style. I'm trying to expand on that. Even though I'm an old geezer,
it doesn't mean I can't still learn!"

In honour of the city's first hard rock residency - Mötley Crüe In
Sin City - Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman proclaims Friday,
February 3, 2012 as Mötley Crüe Day.
3/2/12
The Mötley Crüe in Sin City experience gets underway at The Joint in
the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, which is transformed into a rock 'n'
roll carnival extravaganza Cirque du Soleil-style, including Tommy's
360 drum coaster and the biggest lighting and sound production ever
brought into the 3,500-seat venue. The shows by the world's most
notorious band in the world's most notorious city are being produced
and promoted by AEG Live. The show features rogue carnival-styled
seat ushers, a Mötley Crüe midget tribute band, a cross-dressing
host with gigantic breasts, female aerialists doing overhead stunts
on chain-links, macabre clowns and stilt walkers, a faux wedding
during Same Ol' Situation that ends with the bride running off with
her maid of honour, a flying apparatus that takes Vince over the
crowd, a circular stage that rises and spins above the crowd during
an acoustic suite that includes Without You, On With the Show and
Don't Go Away Mad, plus over-the-top signature pyrotechnics in
almost every song. A piano slowly drops from the rafters for Home
Sweet Home, and Mick's guitar solo features video trickery to
triplicate him across the stage. As well as the band's hits, they
also perform Piece Of Your Action and Afraid, which haven't been
performed live in over ten years.
The Mötley Crüe In Sin City residency
has transformed the entire hotel and casino into a completely
immersive experience, as well as having an impact on the city: there
are billboards on the world-famous Sunset Strip in Los Angeles and
the 15 Interstate upon entering Vegas beckoning fans to the Hard
Rock, then upon entering the casino lobby, Vince's custom 1932 Ford
Coupe hot rod is displayed and poker players find themselves gaming
on Mötley Crüe branded tables with waitresses wearing little more
than Mötley Crüe t-shirts. The elevators are covered in Mötley Crüe
signage and even maid service signs for hotel guest rooms indicate
clean-up for Home Sweet Home. The band plays for a little over two
hours in their four-nights-a-week residency.

martial arts legend Chuck Liddell and champion bull rider Judd
Leffew also feature in the commercial.
Nikki is set to make his acting debut
in the proposed short film Shoot'er being helmed by his long-time
friend and veteran video director Paul R. Brown. He will play an
adulterous scoundrel in the film about a gunman-for-hire, which
explores the fine line between being human and fulfilling your
objectives. Brown is currently trying to raise $44,000 via
Kickstarter, an online threshold pledge system for funding creative
projects, by March 15 in order to make and release the film in July,
which will also star actor Trent Ford and model Sarah McNeilly.

Mick tells Ultimate Classic Rock that he's still writing for his
solo album, saying, "I've got about a good four or five songs that
have potential. I don't know if I'm happy with them, you know, so I
have to keep listening. Not to say that I'm going to make the
perfect song or this that and the other, but I want to make me happy
with what I release and proud of what I release. Maybe I can write a
whole record of 'Dr. Feelgoods' or 'Girls', but not sounding like
Mötley, you know, being me. I'm trying to do a lot of experimenting
too, with different cultural rhythms and mixtures of beats - say,
take some old Greek guys that played traditional Greek rhythms on
their drums, or the Japanese with those big drum things that they
use, and throw it all into the mix, see what comes out."
8/2/12
Vince celebrates his 51st birthday by riding Tommy's 360-degree drum

and me, but it's all bullshit - some leaky sneakies!"
26/2/12
Nikki says, "Been in the recording studio cutting new Mötley Crüe
with the guys. We are recording at Tommy's Atrium studio and James
Michael is producing. We laid down the bass and drums yesterday and
Mick Mars comes in today to blast the guitars. Then Vince is coming
in next week to do his vocals. Haven't been in the studio in a few
years with the guys and it feels like magic. Hard to explain what it
sounds like other than just straight out sexy...maybe throw some
dirt and sarcasm on top too."
9/3/12
Following the death of his mother Boula in the morning, Tommy
tweets, "One of the loves of my life has gone. My Dear Mother has

Vince has the soft launch of his topless nightclub called Vince Neil's
Girls, Girls, Girls in Las Vegas at the former Déjà
Vu location, opposite the Orleans off Tropicana Avenue a mile from
the Las Vegas Strip. Vince says, "It's something I always wanted to
do. So it's like a dream come true. But this will be different and
unique. It will be the first rock and roll strip joint. It was a
business opportunity to become a partner that was too good to pass
up. First, the girls will be edgier. Tattoos won't be banned. They
will look like they stepped out of a music video. Hot, provocative
and edgy. I know it all comes down to G-strings in the end, but
they'll start out with much sexier outfits than you find elsewhere.
Second, the music isn't going to be boring. None of that house,
generic strip club music. This will be full-on rock and roll."
The official grand opening will take place April 13.
20/3/12
Kiss and Mötley Crüe hold a press conference at the Hollywood
Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood to officially announce their
co-headlining 2012 North American summer tour called The Tour. The
rock'n'roll spectacle will take place in forty-plus cities
commencing in Bristow, Virginia on July 20, and ending in Hartford,
Connecticut on September 23. With Kiss closing the show each night,
both bands plan to give fans the ultimate summer concert experience
with the most impressive lighting and sound production ever, and
their signature over-the-top pyrotechnics. Nikki says, "Growing up,
I had a Kiss poster, Aerosmith poster and Sweet on the wall, and for
me to go out and do this together, it's an honour. I know what Kiss
is about - I've been watching them for years - and I think it's a
perfect, perfect match. Maybe a match made in hell, in some places
in America they may think, but it's a perfect match and it's gonna
be all night long hits, bombs, girls, topless a few. Mötley Crüe and
Kiss: I can't wait to experience it myself." Kiss front man Paul
Stanley adds, "Nikki and I have been in touch with each other and
just going, 'This is awesome.' This is something we're all really
fired up about. It's double what either one of us could do, so
exponentially it's that much bigger. Whatever either band is capable
of doing, you do it double on one night. It's out of the park, man.
We're gonna level each city, literally."
In an interview with Rolling Stone following the press conference,
Nikki says, "What I would like to see people take away from it is
that if you actually practice your instrument and practice writing
songs and put a hundred percent into your show and every aspect of
it, from your clothes to your lyrics, if your singers sing, then
this is what happens: you have a long career and you get to go out
and do the real deal. It's real rock and roll."
Nikki also tells VH1 Radio Network about Motley's new song Sex due
out this spring, saying, "We're gonna play it on tour. We just wrote
it and recorded it. We're just finishing mixing. It's called Sex and
it sounds very much like it's off the first record, and that was
definitely on purpose. I've been writing very simple riffs for the
last year and focusing on how these riffs would work for Vince,
basically, and took it in the studio with Tommy and Mick and the
thing just came alive."

Girls. Located at 4740 South Arville Rd, Las Vegas, the club takes
its name from Motley's 1987 album of the same name paying homage to
hard-living lifestyle, their love of riding fast, large motorcycles,
drinking whiskey, and spending long nights at strip clubs. Celebrity
dealmaker Michael Politz brought together Vince's brand and
America's premier adult entertainment super power Déjà Vu to help
create Las Vegas' newest adult entertainment spot. During the night,
Vince performs the AC/DC classic Highway to Hell with Sin City
Sinners, and also takes a tumble when he jumps on stage to perform
Girls, Girls, Girls.
25/4/12
Tommy features in "Show Your Soft Side", a campaign developed to
combat the alarming incidence of animal abuse in Baltimore,
Maryland. Many of the more horrific cases have been perpetrated by
teens, thus leading the Mayor's Anti-Animal Abuse Advisory
Commission to look for ways to change the mindset of young people
who often view the maiming and torturing of defenceless dogs and
cats as a sign of toughness or manhood. The campaign puts forth a
very different message — a message that subtly shows that 'being a
man' has many facets to it, including a 'soft side' when it comes to
animals. The goal is to reach kids early because research shows that
kids who abuse animals soon graduate to even more violent crimes.
Featuring acknowledged hard men of Baltimore with their pets, the
campaign's posters, billboards and print ads make the point that
only a punk would hurt a cat or dog. Tommy recently urged his fans
to adopt, not buy, their pets, after he and his girlfriend Sofia
adopted a new pup Bowie, named after rock legend David Bowie because
of his "crazy grey-green eyes." Tommy says, "We went to a couple of
different shelters and we ended up over at East Valley in Van Nuys
and there he was, just sitting there with three other dogs, and we
were like, 'Oh my God, we gotta get this guy a home. Who could
abandon this fucking thing? This is the cutest thing on the planet.
I want to kill whoever let him go." Tommy said he became inspired to
speak out about adoption because there are so many homeless pets out
there that need loving homes.

Frank Sinatra, who had his own penthouse suite where he often threw
lavish parties. Attempting to channel Sinatra, they recreate a party
in his suite. Vince and his entourage experience unexplained
first-hand encounters including scratch marks on one woman's back,
cold sensations, voices and knocking, but it's not until Vince and
his girlfriend Rain head into room No. 908 that Vince encounters an
overwhelming physical experience.

During an online chat, Nikki says Mötley Crüe is writing new songs.
Regarding their future release, he says, "When the songs are ready,
we'll record them and how we will release them, we don't know,
because everything is changing and we kinda like it. How we release
music in the future, whether it's song by song, EP by EP, album by
album, or soundtracks to movies, we don't know … we're open and
excited about our future and in no rush to release music just to
release music." Asked whether Sixx: A.M. has any plans to tour,
Nikki says, "All the members of Sixx: A.M. are committed and want to
tour but, between Mötley Crüe, Guns N' Roses and James' production
work, it's extremely difficult to find a time that we would all be
available. But, I want to let fans know that it is a priority and we
want it to happen in the biggest of ways."

FourPoints Television, producers of The Aviators, one of PBS'
most-watched television reality docu-series, announces it has signed
Vince to head up a new reality series based on his exploits as a
newly-certified pilot. "The series Vince Neil Escapes will follow
Vince in his dream to finalize his pilot's license, for which flight
training occurred on-camera during season three of the program. In
the process Vince and an entourage head for the skies in a series of
flights to glamorous party destinations. Episodes will accompany
Vince and his bombshell entrepreneur girlfriend, his semi-famous
rocker manager, and his soft-spoken female mentor and flight
instructor, as they embark on various whirlwind flights across North
America and the Caribbean, enjoying rock-star level treatment along
the way. Throughout the season, Vince battles FAA regulations to
earn the right to fly on his own (due to a long history of DUI
convictions, including one fatal collision), working with a quirky
medical practitioner... and accordion player. Yet Vince's more
enduring challenge is to strike a balance between his hard-partying
nature and the unique sobriety and focus required to fulfil his
dream of being a full-fledged pilot. Vince's flight instructor and
"angel on the shoulder" warns that the only variable between Vince
enjoying a casual flight and dying in a fiery disaster is Vince
himself."
