Dr Feelgood Album
Motley Crue
Nikki Sixx said about the record: "After feeling robbed of a No. 1 album with 'Girls Girls Girls', the band was hell-bent on topping ourselves on every level. Bringing in Bob Rock to produce and push us musically and lyrically was just what the doctor ordered… The band was clean, lean and sober and this album has some of our proudest work."
With Motley Crue now frequently in the news again after reuniting - following the recent destruction of their cessation of touring agreement they signed in back in 2014 - along with the huge success of The Dirt, it’s no surprise they’re ramping up re-issues and teasing fans with potentially new material.
Motley Crue is set to release a special edition of Dr Feelgood to celebrate its 30th anniversary. The set will include new cd and vinyl packaging as well as a deluxe edition including coloured vinyl, three 7” picture discs, Dr Feelgood bag, a deck of cards, prescription notepad and drumstick pens, pins, guitar picks, band-aids, and more.
Whilst fans eagerly await the announcement of the rumoured 2020 tour with Def Leppard and Poison, we might even be treated to new material. When Crue released The Dirt they also released 2 new tracks to accompany the hit Netflix biopic. Generally speaking, bands don’t just record a couple of tracks when they go into a studio, even if it’s just for a film so Crue most likely has a few other tracks they were working on or at least demo ideas. Not to mention Mick Mars has finally revealed his solo album will be released in 2020, so he’s still clearly been twanging a guitar.
