Alice Cooper Offers to Chop Off Motley Crue’s Heads
Alice Cooper has hatched a novel plan for ending the last stop on Motley Crue‘s farewell tour.
Cooper, who knows a thing or two about giving audiences a show to remember, sounds like he’s ready to reclaim his title as rock’s reigning guillotine enthusiast. During a recent interview with Triple M, he offered to use one of his favorite old stage tricks to help the Crue say goodbye for good after the last encore when they play their last show on Dec. 31.
“They finish up in the United States on New Year’s, and that’s their last gig,” he explained. “I told them, ‘Why don’t you let me kill you onstage? That finishes everything.’ Four guillotines, floomp! Done!”
It’d make for a heck of a finale — and also, as Cooper pointed out, a terrific opportunity to make some money by “[auctioning] off the heads on stakes.”
Mötley Crüe’s Vince Neil demands Facebook account back
Vince Neil, lead singer of the rock band Mötley Crüe, has gone to court to force an Oregon woman to relinquish control of his social media accounts.
In a lawsuit filed Friday in Clark County District Court, Neil claims Kristy Sinsara is making unauthorized posts that the public and his fans believe are being made by him.
“Sinsara maintains control over the accounts because she is using them to trade on Neil’s fame and celebrity as a means of promoting Sinsara and her works,” the complaint alleges.
In a telephone interview Wednesday evening, Sinsara denied the allegations and said she suspects the lawsuit stems from her dispute with Neil’s girlfriend, Rain Hannah.
“This is not a Vince thing,” Sinsara said. “This is a Rain Hannah thing.”
Sinsara said she gave Neil the password for his Twitter account when he asked for it, but he never asked for the password to his Facebook account.
“The only social media account he really uses is Twitter,” Sinsara said. The account has more than 330,000 followers.
Sinsara said she gave the Facebook password to Slaughter bassist Dana Strum, Neil’s tour manager, but refused to give it to Hannah out of concern for Neil.
She said Neil never paid her to manage his social media accounts. Instead, she said, he agreed to help promote her as a social media strategist.
“He held up his end of the agreement,” Sinsara said.
According to Sinsara’s website, she is editor-in-chief of Living Echo Social, an online magazine that discusses relationships, and an author of three self-help books.
The website’s “about me” section also states, “I was once a social media strategist by trade, and managed a handful of high profile clients’ social media accounts, including Mötley Crüe’s front man, Vince Neil.”
Before Neil met Sinsara, he established Facebook and LinkedIn accounts to advance his social media presence and interact with fans, according to Neil’s lawsuit.
The lawsuit claims Sinsara approached Neil in Nevada and offered to manage his social media accounts.
“Neil agreed to give Sinsara access to and administrative control over his accounts, but Neil retained ownership of the accounts,” the complaint says.
After gaining control of the accounts, the lawsuit alleges, Sinsara changed the passwords and email contact information for them.
“For a period of time Sinsara created content for Neil’s accounts,” the complaint says.
Late last year, the lawsuit alleges, Neil terminated the agreement and asked Sinsara to return control of the accounts to him.
The lawsuit claims Sinsara wrote the following to Neil on Dec. 11:
“Here’s the deal. I have a book coming out in a week. I’m going to pay myself for all of my hard work by using Vince’s account to promote it and then I am walking away from all of this. So in two weeks, I will give you everything (all access)-and should have the FB passwords by then, and you can take me off of it ALL! It’s ALL YOURS.”
But Sinsara “continued to trade on” Neil’s celebrity and fame, according to the lawsuit, and wrote on Feb. 12:
“I just posted on Vince’s Facebook page that I will no longer be working with him as of March 1st, and gave myself a final shout out (as payment) for the last 1.5 years of building his image on social media. As of then the security lock down will be done and I’ll change the email and password to whatever you’d like.”
On Feb. 16, according to the complaint, Neil served a formal legal demand on Sinsara to return control of the accounts.
“Even though Sinsara agreed to relinquish control over the accounts on December 26, 2014 and again on March 1, 2015, she has and continues to maintain control over the accounts and makes unauthorized posts on the accounts,” the lawsuit says.
The document claims the unauthorized posts are causing Neil “irreparable damage.”
In her interview with the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Sinsara said she has “absolute access to Facebook” but has not posted anything on Neil’s behalf since January.
“The last time I posted something was with his approval,” she said.
Sinsara said she does not have the password to Neil’s LinkedIn account.
“This whole thing is being spun into an absolute lie,” she said.
Watch Vince Neil Sing the National Anthem at the Las Vegas Outlaws’ First-Ever Game
The Las Vegas Outlaws kicked off their inaugural season in the Arena Football League last night. The team’s owner, Vince Neil of Motley Crue, was on hand to sing the national anthem.
As you can see in the above video, he was escorted to the middle of the field by two cheerleaders — called the Las Vegas Outlaws Posse — who joined with the others in flanking him as he sang. Comedian Carrot Top, who has had a show at the Luxor Hotel and Casino since 2005, performed the opening coin toss. The halftime show featured the cheerleaders, Vegas headliner Zowie Bowie and dancers from the Westgate Hotel’s ‘Sexxy’ revue.
Unfortunately, the Outlaws lost to the San Jose SaberCats 59-41 in front of an announced crowd of 6,569 people at the Thomas and Mack Center. However, they did have an impressive performance from wide receiver Tysson Poots, who caught seven passes for 123 yards and three touchdowns. Their next game will be at home on April 4 against the Arizona Rattlers.

John Corabi Says His Motley Crue Album ‘Would Have Been Massive’ Under a Different Band Name
If Mötley Crüe had adopted a new band name after John Corabi took over for Vince Neil, would things have turned out differently?
During a recent appearance on One on One With Mitch Lafon, Corabi says the members of the band knew they were asking for trouble by keeping the Crüe name after Neil left — particularly given the new sound they acquired when Corabi stepped in. In fact, they might have started over completely, if not for the advice they received from their business managers.
“We were thinking of NC, for New Crüe,” says Corabi. “We were tossing around names. Nikki Sixx always wanted to call a band Christmas. All the people involved with the band – the record company, lawyers, agents, managers – everybody that was getting a commission saw that if Mötley changed the name, Mötley wasn’t going to be making $300,000 a night. They were going to have to come back down to earth and start probably in theaters for a lot less money.”
Money talks, as we all know, and after a few meetings with panicked advisors, the group was talked out of making a bold move. “Everyone saw their commission dwindle, and they were the ones that talked us back into it,” Corabi recalls. “‘You guys are Mötley Crüe, you can’t do this, you just signed a huge record deal.’ They talked us out of it.”
In the end, the band’s sole album with Corabi at the helm didn’t sell as well as expected, and fans were divided over the new lineup — a reaction he sums up by saying, “‘So what was different? The singer, so it’s obviously his fault – and you shouldn’t have called it Mötley Crüe,’ We didn’t want to call it Mötley Crüe to begin with!”
While it may not have sold as well as the label or the band members would have liked, 1994′s Mötley Crüe record has become something of a cult favorite today, and Corabi’s certain fans would have come around far sooner if they’d only gone with their gut instinct. “That album would have been massive,” he argues, “had it been any other name but Mötley.”
I should ask - anyone in or around Toronto interested in getting a single ticket from me for this tour? I now have to be out of town, and would prefer not to take the hit from Stubhub on the resale.

And I also doubt that Elektra Records would have allowed it, given that a few months before Vince's split from the band, they'd signed a $25 million dollar deal in the wake of Dr. Feelgood's massive 6 million copies sold. They signed Motley Crue and I imagine could have sued them for breach of contract had they taken on a new name.
I think another thing that worked against the self-titled '94 album with Corabi was that it came out 4.5 years after its predecessor and right when grunge was peaking or had already peaked. Corabi joined not long after Vince left/was fired in early '92. That album should have been out by early '93 at the latest, but didn't come out until spring 1994. New Crue was received like New Coke and when the album only achieved gold status, the managers and record label people began maneuvering to bring Vince back.

And the next album with Vince only went Gold too.
Motley were done as a big seller by 1994 and Corabi is nuts.
That is a good album though and quite rootsy.
A few songs got radio and MTV play but by 1994 if you weren't Alt Rock or Grunge you were doomed.

I really liked the Motley Crue album. Crab rocked in it, and in Union. I think he's right, it would have done really well under another name.
There were some very good songs on there. Didn't like it upon first listen, but once my ears calibrated to the new singer and sound, I found some things to dig on that one.
Police in Las Vegas have charged Motley Crue‘s Vince Neil with misdemeanor battery for allegedly pulling a woman’s hair. The incident, which took place late in the afternoon on Thursday (April 7), was followed by a scuffle with actor Nicolas Cage.
As reported by NBC News, Las Vegas police spokesman Michael Rodriguez said that the woman, whose name was not revealed by the police, approached Cage for an autograph inside the Aria Hotel. Neil “came up to her from behind and grabbed her by the hair.” Cage then took Neil outside to try to calm him down, and the next few seconds were captured by a cell phone camera inside a car and published at TMZ. As onlookers gathered around them, Neil seems to attempt to lunge towards Cage, who grabs Neil and yells in his ear to “Stop this s— now!” and a few other indecipherable words. The situation appeared to be diffused after that.
Although Neil has been charged with battery, he was not arrested. He faces a maximum sentence of six months in jail, if convicted. The article notes that Neil faced battery and disorderly conduct charges in 2011 after bruising his ex-girlfriend auound the shoulder and yelling and her friends at a Las Vegas theater. He pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct, resulting in a $1,000 fine and the dropping of the battery charge.
There has been no statement from either Neil or Cage on the matter at this time.
For Tommy Lee, saying goodbye to Mötley Crüe this past New Year's Eve was easy. "It's sad it was the last show, but in the same breath it was also a celebration," the drummer says of the hometown gig, which bookended the pioneering L.A. glam-metal group's so-called decades of decadence. "It was really cool to finish where we started. We accomplished everything we set out to do."
Fans will be able to relive the fiery concert when Mötley Crüe: The End – a film combining footage from the group's final L.A. shows – hits theaters for a one-time screening on June 14th. Footage of the band's heavy, kinetic performance of "Girls, Girls, Girls," which kicks off the film, is premiering here. In just a few minutes, it captures the essence of 34 years of Mötley Crüe: pyro, smoke, motorcycle sounds, leather, dancing female backup singers, cutting guitar and crashing, sometimes spinning drums. And it's just the first song. The rest of the film contains performances of "Shout at the Devil," "Kickstart My Heart" and "Home Sweet Home," among other hits, as well as Lee's ill-fated final roller-coaster drum solo (the apparatus conked out midway through) and emotional interviews with the band members.
The drummer caught up with Rolling Stone in advance of the film's release for a revealing "exit interview," where he looked back on the highs and lows of three decades of Mötley Crüe and opened up about the weirdness that surrounded the group's farewell concert.
How do you feel about the final Mötley Crüe concert now that nearly half a year has passed? I always said none of this is going to sink in until God knows how long afterward. You're still coming off of that high of touring for nearly two years. Last month, I started to think, "Wow, shit. This is for real." But I didn't have bad feelings about the tour. I looked around and smiled, going, "Fuck, we killed that shit." I'm just happy to be home and enjoying life.
Have you been in touch with the other guys? I haven't spoken to Vince [Neil] or Nikki [Sixx]. I speak to Mick [Mars] a lot. He's actually working on some new stuff, and I'm really happy for him.
Let's talk about the final show. Did you feel anxious before it began? Yes. Oh, my God. So anxious. But I'm always nervous before any show. I always get tweaked out 10 minutes before the show. I'm a fucking basket case. I've told myself, "Dude, the day that you're not nervous before you go onstage, it's time to pack it up because that means your passion is gone."
What was the band's preshow ritual? Was it different for the final show? No. We just see each other up onstage and let it rip.
There wasn't a sense of "togetherness"? Yeah. It's kind of strange, man. We're a fucking weird band.
Even stranger, after the final night, we had a big party backstage on New Year's Eve, and I never saw the other guys. We never even said "goodbye." Fucking strange as hell, dude. I mean, what the fuck?
Why would nobody say goodbye to you? I really don't know. I mean, if you're getting divorced, you still give your ex a hug, or flip her off or something. You either get a kiss or a slap, or ... something. Give me a sign! Let me know you're alive.
So you really haven't spoken to Nikki or Vince since the show. I think fucking Nikki unfollowed me on fucking Twitter, like, the next day. I was like, "Wow. OK, dude."
Was there an issue with Nikki leading up to that? There's always been issues.
There's a scene in the film that's coming out to theaters in which you say you felt the creativity within the band was done. When did you have that realization? I've had it twice. I had it in 1999 when I quit. I needed to do something else creatively because nobody wanted to really experiment and push the boundaries. And then I came back [in 2004], and we made some new music for a while.
The Saints of Los Angeles record [in 2008] was the last time we were creative together, but not really creative together. Everybody did their part separately. It was just a really strange process and I was like, "This is not really how it works." The record came out OK, but I don't know. That's when I started realizing we'd kind of hit the wall. You need to have three other very open-minded people to continue that process and explore and take chances and really try to make something new, and that's just not happening there.
Despite the strange way things ended, did any of you have last-minute regrets and want to put the breaks on retirement? [Laughs] Nah, not really. I mean, shit. We did it our way, man.
There's a lot of pyro around you during "Girls, Girls, Girls" and throughout the show. How do you get used to that? I love it. It's hot as fucking balls up there. At all of those shows, my drum tech was behind me with a Super Soaker. Sometimes the flames get so hot that I get burnt. Directly behind me, there was this ginormous flaming pentagram. It had to be 30 feet in diameter. When that thing lights up, if I'm not wet, it's impossible to sit up there.
Did you ever catch fire? No, but I've had a lot of sparks land in my hair and you can smell the smoke. It's gnarly.
You got a break from the flames on this tour with your roller coaster for your drum solo. But it malfunctioned at the final show. What happened? First of all, I was like, "It's the last show. It's New Year's Eve. Why do I feel like something's gonna fucking go wrong?" I don't know if I jinxed it. That whole thing is controlled wirelessly from a guy on the ground. We mounted a shit-load of wireless cameras on there to capture the last night, and we had conversations before the show, saying, "If we get some wireless signals that are crossing, the roller coaster goes into the safety mode, which is where it just shuts it down." And, of course, that's what happened. I was like, "Fuck. I fucking knew this was gonna happen."
When did the feeling of panic go away? Well, I was stuck upside down for quite a while. We edited it down in the movie. But my head was pounding. The blood was going to my head. I can only stay upside down for so long, and then I start to get weird.
I saw one of our techs climbing up the rig, and I was like, "Oh, thank God. This thing's gonna get right-side up here in a minute. I'll be able to breathe." They got it right-side up and he's yelling in my ear, "Dude! We're back up and running. It's good to go." We were at the end of the track in the back of the arena. So I was like, "You know what? Fuck it. I'm climbing down out of this thing because I don't want to take a chance that it gets stuck midway." If it got stuck in the middle, the plan-B escape route is not cool: They gotta come, unstrap you and put you in a rappelling rope and lower you down. It's ugly. I was like, "Fuck it. I'm out."
You filmed two nights. Why did you decide to keep the breakdown in the film? Because it was actually entertaining.
During your drum solo, you play music by Kendrick Lamar, Black Sabbath and the Chemical Brothers. It's amazing you were able to license those for the movie. I knew that was going to be a licensing nightmare, and it got done. Fuck, I'm impressed because a lot of those songs, especially "Uptown Funk," that's huge. There's a lot of big tracks in there. I can't believe it, actually.
Is that your mix? Yeah. It's all of the stuff that I love, man, and some sort of underground stuff that nobody might know of. This shit just moves the hell out of me, and I want to turn Mötley fans onto it, because chances are, they probably would never listen to anything like that. There's so much amazing music out there, man, especially in the electronic world, where the frequencies are just so fucking huge. It just moves your body in a totally different way than any rock band.
Have fans said you turned them onto new things with your solos? Yes. I get people asking me, "Dude, what is that music that you're rocking to during the drum solo?" all the time. I love it.
At the very end of the movie you're walking out, you're high-fiving fans as you say goodbye. What was that like? It's definitely weird, dude, especially on the last night. It was like, "Wow. This is really happening. Shit."
It's been five months since the last show. What's an average day like for you now? My plan was to take a year off and just chill the fuck out. I remember my fiancée going, "Dude. There's no way you're gonna sit around for a year." And she's right. I've been doing some remixes for some artists and I've been down there in my studio writing stuff. I didn't even get close to a year. I can't sit still.
Will your new music going to be more electro-focused? Yeah. There will definitely be electronic frequencies going down, for sure. Once you've had that, you can't go back.
When you look back on 34 years of Mötley Crüe, do you wish you did anything differently? I really don't. We accomplished everything that we set out to do. But it sure would be fun to start over knowing what I know now [laughs].
What do you mean? Fuck, you're just hip to how the business works, how touring works, how life is. And it probably wouldn't be fun, knowing what you know now and doing it all over again, but sometimes I think, it might be kind of cool.
The Dirt would be a pretty different book. Yeah. Exactly.
How do you feel about Mötley Crüe as a whole when you look back on it? I don't have ill feelings at all. I'm saying this with a smile on my face. I'm just happy to be part of something that was so impactful on so many people's lives musically and lifestyle-wise. That's pretty fucking insane, and I'm really happy that we decided to end it on a high note and not really drive this thing into the ground like so many of our other musical peers have. It's just really cool and quite an honor to kind of bow out when it's still larger-than-life. It could have gone a different route.
Motley Crue's Vince Neil charged with battery for incident that led to Nicolas Cage scuffle
Motley Crue frontman Vince Neil has been charged following an incident in April that saw the star attack a female autograph-seeker and get in a tussle with actor Nicolas Cage.
The incident apparently began when the pair were interrupted at the Aria Hotel in Las Vegas by a woman who allegedly asked Cage for an autograph.
Following an alleged assault by Neil on the woman, Cage was then seen trying to restrain Neil to calm him down, taking him outside the hotel and into a car.
TMZ now reports that Neil has been charged with misdemeanor battery, which could lead to a maximum sentence of 6 months in jail.
Vince Neil Sued for $75,000 by Single Mom After Las Vegas Fight
A single mother is seeking $75,000 in damages after a violent videotaped incident with Vince Neil at a Las Vegas hotel in April.
Kelly Guerrero alleges that the Motley Crue singer attacked her in front of her 14-year-old son after she stopped to give Neil’s friend Nicolas Cage a compliment – continuing what she describes as a pattern of “self-centered, irresponsible, drunken and violent behavior.”
Passersby captured the altercation at the Aria Hotel, as well as the aftermath, which found Cage trying to take charge of the situation. The video immediately went viral. Guerrero, a registered nurse, argues that she incurred “substantial medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and emotional distress” afterward, Vice reports.
Guerrero’s lawsuit, which was filed yesterday in federal court, claims that she and her son were leaving the hotel during a spring-break vacation when they spotted Cage, her child’s favorite actor. She says she told Cage that “my son loved you in Ghost Rider and City of Angels,” before “Vince Neil attacked Kelly without warning or provocation. Neil grabbed Kelly’s hair from behind, yanking her down to the pavement on her back.”
Cage came to her rescue, the plaintiff adds, shouting that Neil needed to “stop this s— now.” Guerrero alleges that Neil was “severely intoxicated and/or under the influence of powerful drug(s).” He was later charged with battery by the Las Vegas police.
A painful journey had just begun for Guerrero, she says. She was diagnosed with a “back sprain or strain; neck sprain or strain and sacral contusion due to physical assault” during a subsequent visit to the emergency room at Desert Springs Hospital, according to the suit. When she returned home, her regular doctor reportedly told Guerrero that she had a “fractured coccyx and a severe left hip injury.”
Neil has a court date on the misdemeanor battery charge set for July 27 in Las Vegas Justice Court.
