Mötley Crüe Finishes Recording New Album

Mötley Crüe finished recording their tracks for the band’s next album, according to bassist Nikki Sixx.

Sixx tweeted the news Monday from London, where he and the rest of the band – including new guitarist Johnny 5 – have been recording the as-yet-untitled effort.

“The new Motley Crue songs are 100% officially done and ready for the mix,” Sixx wrote.

The announcement comes only a month after Sixx revealed the band had begun writing songs for the album and shortly after guitarist John 5 said the songs were “probably 98%” completed.

The band does not appear to be recording with Mick Mars, most likely due to his ongoing lawsuit.

Mars is suing his Crüe bandmates, claiming the band dropped Mars’ touring profits cut from 25% to just 5% after he stepped away from touring due to health issues. Mars also claims to have been booted from the band’s various corporate concerns.

Mötley Crüe – or at least their lawyer – responded to Mick Mars’ lawsuit against the band, calling the lawsuit “Unfortunate and completely off-base”, and said the band “Did not owe Mick anything” but still offered him a “Generous compensation package”.

Nikki Sixx, Mötley Crüe co-founder, tweeted, “Sad day for us and we don’t deserve this considering how many years we’ve been propping him up-We still wish him the best and hope he [finds] lawyers and managers who aren’t damaging him.”
