About Motley Crue Merch
On 17.1.1981, Nikki Sixx left the band London and started to rehearse with Tommy Lee and Greg Leon (guitar / vocals). Greg and Tommy had previously played together in a band called Suite 19. Leon eventually left the band and Tommy and Nikki recruited Mick Mars.
Tommy Lee had known Vince Neil since high school and after several requests for Neil to join the band, he finally agreed.
The band’s first release was ‘Stick To Your Guns / Toast of the Town’. In November 1981, the debut album Too Fast for Love was released on their own label, Leathür. The album sold 20,000 copies and their popularity on the LA club scene eventually led to the band signing a contract with Elektra in 1982.
More Information
Motley Crue are one of several bands who announced a reunion in 2019. They initially retired in 2015 — or so we thought — when they signed a “cessation of touring agreement.” That literally means no more touring. And now they’re back.
This may have come as a surprise to some, but others, who know the rollercoaster-like history of Crue’s career, most likely anticipated that they’d come around again. They’ve broken up several times, replaced members, started other bands… the list goes on.
In honor of their reunion news, which stated that they blew up the legal document proclaiming they would never tour again, we decided to reflect on the band’s career to highlight both their ups and downs. This is the story of Nikki Sixx, Vince Neil, Mick Mars and Tommy Lee — this is Motley Crue.
