Last Wednesday, SuicideGirls hit the black carpet for Revolver Magazine’s third annual Golden Gods awards bash, which was held at the Nokia Theatre in DTLA. Amongst the honorees at the event, which celebrates all things hard ‘n’ heavy, were Mötley Crüe, who received The Ronnie James Dio Lifetime Achievement Award.
The bad boy rockers are embarking on a major tour this summer, and were scheduled to start rehearsals the next day. To keep things fresh, the band have asked their followers to help pick their set list. Fans are asked to go online and pick15 songs that they wanna hear live from a total of 89 listed titles.
We caught up with Crüe frontman Vince Neil, who won our award for Best Dressed Man of the Night, to find out how the survey is working out.
“The cool thing is I’ve been looking at some of the song lists that people have been sending in. A lot of them are the same, but some of the songs like ‘Too Young to Fall in Love’ and ‘Smokin’ in the Boys Room’ – which we haven’t played in a long time – are coming up in a lot of the fan requests, and so it’s going to be really fun to do those songs,” Neil told us.
“Me and Nikki were talking today, and I was telling him ‘Too Young’ is actually one of my favorite songs ever to play. And he goes, ‘Me too!’ [I said,] ‘How come we didn’t do it?’ And he goes, ‘I don’t know!’ We have so many songs, but to play the songs that the fans like – you gotta give back.”
The tour kicks of May 1st at The Bamboozle Festival in East Rutherford, NJ. The boys will be heading to Chile, Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico, before returning to the US for a nationwide run with Poison and the NY Dolls (which will include a June 14 date at the Hollywood Bowl). Check the band’s website for full details.
