John 5 has offered an update on Motley Crue‘s forthcoming new material, revealing that what they’ve recorded so far is heavier than anything on their acclaimed second album, 1983’s Shout At The Devil.
While in a recent interview on Sirius XM’s Trunk Nation, the new Crue guitarist spoke of his experience of working alongside legendary producer Bob Rock, and also described what some of their “killer” new tracks sound like.
“Bob would come in and [say], ‘OK, let’s try this here, and that here and this here,’” 5 explains. “It was one of the most incredible experiences ever. … I’m thinking, ‘We’ve got so much great technology today’… but we got in that room and it was like being in a garage working on a song when you were in high school. … It was incredible, and we documented a lot of it too.”
Speaking of the tracks they’ve recorded so far, he continues, “The songs are fucking heavy. I sound like a little excited kid right now, but they’re heavy and they’re mean. I can’t wait for them to come out. I’m just so excited.”
Then, when Trunk asks John 5 whether the new offerings compare to Motley Crue’s platinum-selling breakthrough album, Shout At The Devil, he reveals that some of their new riffs are “heavier than anything” on it.
Of how the recording process is coming along, John 5 explains: “I don’t know if they’re completely done but I would say they’re like probably 98%. It has to be mixed; it has to be mastered. … All I can tell you is that it’s heavy and it’s aggressive, and I think people are going to dig it because, talking as a fan, it’s fucking badass.”
John 5 replaced Motley Crue’s longtime guitarist Mick Mars, after the latter axe-slinger stepped back from touring duties last year due to his ongoing battle with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS).
Later this month, the band will resume their world tour with Def Leppard, with shows kicking off again on May 22 in Sheffield, UK.

Great article. It’s very unfortunate that over the last one decade, the travel industry has already been able to to fight terrorism, SARS, tsunamis, bird flu virus, swine flu, and also the first ever true global economic collapse. Through all of it the industry has proven to be solid, resilient as well as dynamic, acquiring new solutions to deal with hardship. There are usually fresh difficulties and the opportunity to which the industry must just as before adapt and act in response.
