Nikki Sixx<\/a> listed the reasons why Motley Crue<\/a> aren\u2019t likely to record another album.<\/p>\n The bassist said he preferred to record a single song with the band whenever the right moment came up, rather than the extended effort of tracking an LP.<\/p>\n The band\u2019s most recent release was 2024\u2019s Cancelled<\/em><\/a> EP \u2013 their first to feature guitarist John 5<\/a> \u2013 which contained two new tracks and a Beastie Boys<\/a> cover.<\/p>\n READ MORE:\u00a0<\/strong>Nikki Sixx Decries Aging Rockers ‘Still Trying to Act 25’<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cI know fans don\u2019t want to hear this, but I don\u2019t believe in making full-length records anymore at this time,\u201d Sixx told podcast host Joann Butler in a recent interview<\/a>.<\/p>\n Citing \u201cthe amount of work that goes into\u201d an LP, he continued: \u201cIf you\u2019re doing 10 songs \u2026 you gotta write 20. And you better hope five of them are stellar. It\u2019s a lot of lyrics, a lot of notes, a lot of chord changes, a lot of time in the studio.\u201d<\/p>\n He insisted that putting effort in wasn\u2019t a problem for Crue, but added: \u201c[W]hat I don\u2019t like is that when people hear one song, and you recorded 10 or you recorded 20\u2026 they only hear one. Radio\u2019s changed; streaming is changing and evolving as we go.\u201d<\/p>\n Sixx said he now preferred a more off-the-cuff approach to recording. \u201c[L]ightning strikes, something comes down\u2026 And I go, \u2018Okay, I\u2019m gonna finish the song and then show it to the band.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n The new effort, he argued, was \u201chaving a song and a whole team behind a song and being able to get the fans to really understand what the song is about.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s just not something that they just pass by, or they go to [a theoretical] new Motley Crue album and they only listen to one song.<\/p>\n Sixx reflected that the five new numbers Crue recorded for their movie The Dirt<\/em> in 2019, combined with the Cancelled<\/em> tracks, were effectively an eight-song album.<\/p>\n \u201cSo I think we\u2019re just going to keep going; like whenever something comes up, you feel something \u2013 heartbreak, joy, rebellion \u2013 let\u2019s write a song about it and let\u2019s go cut it in the studio.\u201d<\/p>\n We look back at everything from\u00a0Too Fast for Love<\/em>\u00a0to\u00a0Saints of Los Angeles<\/em>\u00a0to see which albums hold up best all these years later.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gallery Credit: Ultimate Classic Rock Staff<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nMotley Crue\u2019s New Approach to Recording Music<\/h3>\n
