On this week’s episode of Yesterday’s news Today, Baby Huey and Chasta address rumors regarding a potential Mötley Crüe film, information about the rock hall of fame induction ceremony, and Aerosmith not calling it a career after upcoming “farewell” tour.
THE DIRT: MOVIE BASED ON MOTLEY CRUE’S BIOGRAPHY LANDS AT NETFLIX
A project that has been in the works for a long time may finally become a reality. From The Hollywood Reporter:
The long-gestating project, which at one point called Paramount and Focus Features home sweet home, is in negotiations to land at Netflix, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
The project is based on the New York Times best-selling autobiography The Dirt: Confessions of the World’s Most Notorious Rock Band, which was written by Mötley Crüe members Tommy Lee, Vince Neil, Mick Mars and Nikki Sixx, as well as author Neil Strauss.
The book was a no-holds-barred account of the iconic 1980s band’s rise to top of the hair metal and rock scene, all while experiencing a guitar case’s worth of drug overdoses, sex with slinky babes, run-ins with the police and in-fighting.
NEIL YOUNG AND SNOOP DOGG AMONG ROCK HALL OF FAME PRESENTERS
This year’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame show will have some interesting combinations of artists introducing the newest inductees. From Vulture:
Neil Young will induct his good friends and frequent collaborators Pearl Jam into the Hall, while Snoop Dogg will have the honor of inducting his late friend Shakur. Two members of Rush, Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson, will present fellow prog-rockers Yes’ induction, while Jackson Browne will induct his friend Baez.
JOE PERRY NOW SAYS AEROSMITH’S NEXT TOUR MAY NOT BE THEIR LAST
Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry says in a new interview that what is being billed as the band’s “farewell” tour is “not officially” the last chance for fans to see the group live. From Blabbermouth.net:
“When we were talking at the end of last year, taking a break and thinking about the next go-round, you know, it’s closer to the end than the beginning,” he explained. “So we talked about ‘Let’s call it a farewell tour.’ And it sounded like a good idea when we were just sitting around, but when we started doing interviews, actually having to verbalize it, if you’re saying farewell tour, that means you have to have a last gig — at least theoretically. And we couldn’t wrap our minds around actually saying this is gonna be our last gig. We’ve been doing it for too long and none of us could picture that. I mean, I play every show like it’s the last one, because I don’t know what’s gonna happen the next day. But we tried and couldn’t do it. We can obviously sling some bull at an interview but that was one piece we couldn’t get over and honestly say, ‘Yeah, this is the final show of our farewell tour.'”
