Rock Band to tag along with Motley Crue on this summer's 'Crue Fest' tour

Rock Band to tag along with Motley Crue on this summer's 'Crue Fest' tour photo
     Music

Following the last-minute addition of Mötley Crüe's new single "Saints of Los Angeles" to today's Rock Band downloadable content, MTV Games and Harmonix have announced that they will be along for the ride this summer when Mötley Crüe embarks on their 40-city tour, hereby known as "Crüe Fest."

Along with Buckcherry, Papa Roach, Sixx: A.M. and Trapt, The Crüe will be invading city after city as they attempt to not only rock your faces off, but also sleep with your sisters, wives, girlfriends, and mothers. (I read The Dirt, so I know what's up.) On each stop there will be a "Rock Band Second Stage," where dudes wearing denim jackets and chicks with teased hair can unleash their inner rock stars by trying out the game in front of drunk, rowdy people. 

The tour begins on April 15, so maybe it's time for you to brush up on your Vince Neil impersonating skills. And maybe it's time for "Dr. Feelgood," "Shout at the Devil," and "Too Young to Fall in Love" to be released as downloadable content. Thanks.

Those bands are just.. plain.. horrible. To each, their own I guess.

But ... but ... if this means we have a better chance of getting some classic Motley Crue in Rock Band, then yes please.

No. I saw Crue once. Left after the third song. Vince Neil sucks. Do not want.

Nick, it is Papa Roach, not Roach.

Anyway, I am right there with you Nick. There more bands that Harmonix can get in the game the better.

Following the last-minute addition of shitty has-beens new single "Desperate attempt to remain relevant" to today's Rock Band downloadable coinswipe, Destroyer of worlds Games and Har-"Fuck Europe"-monix have announced that they will be along for the trudge this summer when shitty has-beens embark on their 40-city tour, hereby known as "Fail fest."

Along with Trendy shitbags, The band who copied a melody line from an Iron Maiden song and got famous doing it, Shitxx: lA.Me. and Crapt, The washed up has-beens will be invading city after city as they attempt to not only bore your faces off, but also sleep with you. (I read The Dirt, so I know what's up.) On each stop there will be a "Cheap marketing area," where dudes wearing denim jackets and chicks with teased hair can unleash their inner rock stars by trying out the game in front of drunk, rowdy people.

The tour begins on April 15, so maybe it's time for you to brush up on your Vince Neil impersonating skills... Sucking is a good start. And maybe it's time for "Dr. Feelgood," "Shout at the Devil," and "Too Young to Fall in Love" to be released as downloadable content. Thanks.

@ power-glove:

Your correction was awesome. "It's Papa Roach, not Roach." :D

Aerosmith vs. Motley Crue

Who can bring in mo' moolah?

Although to their respect I'm loving Saints of Los Angeles, Dream On for free kicked ass, and GH:Aerosmith has the amazing Joan Jett song I Hate Myself for Loving You. Don't know 'bout you guys but please, bring on the Crue.

the tour begins April 15 and end quickly after due to poor ticket sales and Motley Crues total irrelevance these days.dudes the 80's are over and the teeny skanks who once loved you are now in their 40's driving to soccer practice listening to Hannah Montana.

NOFX led a "fuck Papa Roach" chant and interrupted their set during Warped Tour in Buffalo back in 2001 or 2002? I am getting old and had heat stroke that day. "We just sold 50,000 copies of pump of the valium. Woooo. Papa Roach just went platinum!" Fuck Papa Roach Fuck Papa Roach etc.

Buckcherry is a real band? I thought they were just poorly dressed Crue cosplayers. Hmm, how about that.

I know I'm a little late to the party, but this tour doesn't start until July 1.

The tickets might've went on sale April 15, but no, there are no shows set for the near future.

Well, at least people with terrible taste in music (Trapt? Really?) will get to try out a game with some good tracks.
