Motley Crue To Finish In 2014-2015?

Vince Neil says Motley Crue can “say goodbye” in 2014-2015 after 30 years.

 

Neil says that before calling it quits, the band will release some new music and perhaps the soundtrack for the movie adaptation of their memoir “The Dirt” - “We want to go out on top. We don’t want to be one of those bands that people are like, ‘Oh, they’re playing a … little club now,’” Neil tells The Oakland Press. “We still sell out arenas and do stadium shows and stuff like that, and that’s how we want to be remembered.”

The health of guitarist Mick Mars who is struggling with ankylosing spondylitis, a painful form of chronic arthritis is one of the causes: “It’s just time. Mick’s (Mars) health is not that good, and touring is tough on him,” said Neil. “I’m sure in five, 10 years’ time we’ll probably do something together again, but it’s not gonna be like a Kiss farewell to the farewell to the farewell tour. We’re not gonna be like that.”

Vince Neil assures that he will continue his solo career: “I’m planning to release something maybe before the end of the Motley run,” he shared. “That way it would come out right toward the end of that, and I can just go straight from Motley and continue touring on that (solo album). That’s the idea now, at least. It’s a ways away, still.”
