THE CRUEFEST ANNOUNCEMENT:

Press Release / Fuse to Air Motley Crue Press Event Live Today - www.multichannel.com/article/CA6551400.html "Borrowing a page from its chief's old VH-1 Classic book, the Fuse network will air live from Los Angeles a Tuesday press conference at which Motley Crue members are expected to announce a summer tour involving other rock bands, as well.

Fuse put out an advisory saying something would be announced at the 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT event – as did Tommy Lee and company. But a Web site called The Gauntlet previously said the band was going to announce a "Crue Fest" tour also involving the bands Papa Roach, Motley Crue, Sixx A.M., Buckcherry, and Trapt. It said tickets would go on sale for most venues tomorrow, as well.

Fuse president Eric Sherman used this technique to effect in February 2007 when he ran VH-1 Classic: it aired a live press conference from Los Angeles at which The Police announced their reunion tour and performed."

Motley Crue to release single on Rock Band game

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - In a nod to the ascendancy of video games, rock 'n' roll bad boys Motley Crue will become the first group to release a new single through Rock Band, said the developer of the wildly popular game.

"Saints of Los Angeles," the first single from the group's upcoming album, will be available for download for 99 cents beginning on Tuesday via Microsoft Corp's Xbox Live Marketplace and on Thursday via Sony Corp's PlayStation store, said Viacom Inc's MTV Games.

In "Rock Band," gamers play along to songs with controllers shaped like a guitar, drum set, or microphone. The game is sold for about $170 for consoles such as Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. It competes with the similarly popular "Guitar Hero" series, made by Activision Inc.

Their success has underscored the potential of video games as a new source of revenue for a music industry grappling with falling CD sales.

"Rock Band" went on sale last November, and now has more than 80 tracks available for download in addition to the 58 tracks in the original game. MTV Games said players have bought more than 6 million downloadable songs for Rock Band. Tunes range from classics by the likes of the Who and the Rolling Stones to more-contemporary fare from the Killers and Fall Out Boy.

Details of Motley Crue's album are expected to be announced during a news conference in Hollywood on Tuesday.

The hard-living metal band, which rose to prominence during the glam-metal era in the late-1980s, is famed for such tunes as "Dr. Feelgood" and "Shout at the Devil."

Alexandre......Thanks much. Joe's is awesome and it's always great to see him up close like that. Cheers

Woolyman...... Again it was great meeting Joe. I got my JSX head aprox. a week + 1/2 before the meet. I'm so impressed with this amp. I called the GC to see if it would be ok if Joe would sign it and they gave me the Green light. Yes, It means the world to me. I've also got my Strat signed by Chris Duarte. BTW..... there was a guy in line that had the Crystal Planet JS1200. The body and pup covers are clear. Man, was this a cool guitar. They only made 200 and his SN was #4. Joe had signed it previously....actually Joe drew one of his famous stick poeple on the volume/tone cover on the back. It was an awesome day and with Joe signing the JSX head threw it over the top.

Webmaster Jon...... Thanks for the update. Much appreciated. Looking forward to the vid. Take Care

QOTD.......Life is short, Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And never regret anything that made you smile. Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we're here we should dance.
