Gott Nytt År




Welcome to the end of 2008; what a huge year it has been again for Mötley Crüe! As we look forward to more in 2009, here are some of their highlights that kept us entertained throughout this year:
  • Vince opened his Dr. Feelgood's Rock Bar and Grill in Florida.

  • Nikki found love with Kat Von D and became President of Eleven Seven Records.

  • The Sixx:A.M. song Life is Beautiful reached the number one position on U.S. rock radio charts and was named the number one rock song of 2008 by Mediabase

  • Tommy starred in the Battleground Earth eco-reality TV show.

  • Nikki was the winner in the Music Recording category of the 12th Annual PRISM Awards for his Heroin Diaries project, and was also this year's honouree at Covenant House California's ninth annual Awards Gala.

  • The Crüe reportedly signed a $100-million+ mega deal to produce three albums and perform three world tours for the giant LiveNation.

  • Saints of Los Angeles debuted at number four on the Billboard 200 chart, giving the Crüe their biggest album sales week since Christmas 1991 when Decade of Decadence sold 121,000 copies.

  • Mötley headlined their own summer rock festival Crüe Fest 2008 across North America that included a free live global concert online streamed from Las Vegas, and a filmed performance in Toronto for a forthcoming Crüe Fest Live DVD.

  • The Crüe played Argentina and Singapore for the first time in their career, while also rocking fans in Mexico and Japan again.

  • Saints of Los Angeles was nominated for a Grammy Award in the Best Hard Rock Performance category. SOLA was also the number one rock song of 2008 as selected by iTunes' Editorial Board. The single sold four times as many copies on the Rock Band video game than iTunes upon release.
