We already know that Nikki Sixx is back with Sixx: A.M. after the end of Motley Crue and we already know that Vince is planning to go solo. What we do not know is what the remaining members of the Crue are up to. Well, last night I discovered just what Mick Mars has been up to lately since the band played their last show on New Years Eve. Mick has released a teaser trailer for a new project that I believe is called 1313. The project features Mick on guitar and John Corabi, the former replacement singer of Motley Crue (he replaced Vince Neil in 1992) on vocals. They tease a new track called Gimme Blood and it sounds amazing. It sounds almost like the music he created with the Crue with the self titled album and let’s be honest because that was an amazing record in it’s own right. The music sounds amazing and I am waiting to hear more information about the project. So, check out the teaser below and as soon as I find out more information I will let you guys know.
I have a couple of pieces of Lemmy Kilmister news for all you Motorhead faithful out there. A bronze statue is going to be erected in Hollywood outside the Rainbow in honor the late legend. A Youcaring crowdfunding campaign was started and the goal was to raise $21,000 with artist Travis Moore not charging a single fee for it and to date they have raised the money. If you still want to donate to the cause, you can do so by going here. The next piece of the news is according to the House Of Hair, “Lemmy will once again have an iconic action figure available for purchase. Originally released in 2008 as the first piece in LocoApe’s ongoing Icon Figure series, the six-inch tall figure will be reissued in July. There are four different figures – each version will have a different Rickenbacker replica bass guitar (featuring real strings!), a microphone a stand and a base.”
In more Lemmy related news, Alice Cooper was asked about the tribute his supergroup The Hollywood Vampires (Johnny Depp, Joe Perry, and Alice Cooper) were doing in honor of Lemmy at The Grammys. He said, “We started this band as a means to toast our ‘dead drunk friends’ at the Rainbow, all the ghosts in the bar, and now I guess Lemmy is involved in that, too. He was always funny,” he continues. “I’m a ‘healed’ alcoholic and I haven’t had anything to drink in 35 years. A lot of people that drink always feel a little bit like they owe an explanation to me. A couple weeks before his death, Lemmy came up to me and said, ‘Alice, I’ve quit drinking.’ And he’s got a glass in his hand. And I go, ‘Really?’ And he says, ‘Yeah, I don’t drink whiskey anymore. I drink vodka.’ And I went, ‘Lemmy, do you think your liver has any idea what color the alcohol is?’ He said, well it’s a step down from whiskey.’ And I went, ‘OK. Any step’s a good step.”
This next piece of news, I do not know what to think of it because I think enough is enough. I obviously do not know the full story as to why Skid Row hasn’t reunited with Sebastian Bach, but I think they need to bury the hatchet and get back together. Anyways, the band may have a brand new lead singer or at least that is what people believe when they showed up to the Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut. The band showed up with former Dragonforce singer ZP Theart singing a whole entire set including the classics like I Remember You, 18 & Life, and even Youth Gone Wild. To check out his version of I Remember You, just click here. While I believe that he is a good singer, I just do not feel that he is a perfect fit for a band like Skid Row. Johnny Solinger was a better fit for the band because he had a ferocity to his vocals. It remains to be seen what comes of this, but I will keep you posted.
We covered Asking Alexandria with one of our posts a week or two ago, but nothing has come up with former singer Danny Worsnop. Now we have some exciting news to share with all of you as Danny reveals the first of four album covers for his solo record The Prozac Sessions. Here is what he posted, “Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, album cover A. Every piece of artwork was so perfect that I have decided to use them all, which means there will be four versions of the album, all with different visuals. I am thinking of writing a couple more songs so that each version will have a different bonus track.
I’m in Nashville now to talk to labels and find a home for what I’ve created. Stay tuned for more news and updates. See you on the other side!” Check out the first of four album covers below:
