Motley Crue Want to Bring Back This Deep Cut
Mötley Crüe just released the first song in their post-Mick Mars era, with John 5 now on guitar. You can listen to “Dogs of War” below. Radio Sara from WMMR Philadelphia caught up with Vince Neil and Tommy Lee about the new track, and they also discussed some deep cuts from the vintage Crüe catalog.
On Record Store Day earlier this month, the band re-released their 1999 compilation Supersonic and Demonic Relics. This double LP of rare tracks was pressed to picture disc vinyl for the first time ever this year, and it was limited to 2,500 copies. Sara pulled her copy out of the vinyl library in the interview, and it got quite a reaction from Vince and Tommy.
When asked about deep cuts that they’d like to bring back into the Mötley Crüe setlist for their live shows, Tommy Lee referenced the lead track on that Supersonic tracklist: “Teaser.”
“Teaser was cool!” he said. “I forgot about that!”
Vince added, “Me too. I’d love to play that again!”
Tommy added: “See, we’ve been doing this for a while, long enough to where we don’t even f***ing remember what we did.”
“Teaser” is a song that was originally released by guitarist Tommy Bolin in 1975. Mötley Crüe covered it as part of the Stairway to Heaven/Highway to Hell compilation album that came out in 1989 to support the Make a Difference Foundation. It never made it onto any of their LPs, but was included in the Supersonic collection about a decade later. Listen to their version of it here.
