Mötley Crüe has shared the official music video for their new single, “Dogs Of War”. The track was made available via Mötley Crüe‘s new deal with Nashville’s Big Machine Records. Created by Nick DenBoer, the visual features the rowdy quartet in an apocalyptic wasteland, full of classic Crüe debauchery.
“It’s always great getting back in the studio with the guys in the band,” Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx says. “We know you’re gonna like this one.”
Bob Rock, who produced the new single, as well as Mötley Crüe‘s famed 1989 album “Dr. Feelgood”, adds: “Working with the band on the new song was the easiest session I have ever had with them… The Crüe is the best they have ever been! And they have plenty of new stuff in store.”
“We want to keep putting out new music, too, so we don’t get stagnant,” Crüe singer Vince Neil told Billboard. “We recorded ‘(You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party!)’ by the Beastie Boys and we recorded this song, too, and I thought it turned out pretty good.”
“There’ll definitely be new music out next year, for sure,” Neil added, “‘Cause we recorded a couple of other songs, too. Maybe we’ll release one of those by the end of the year, but I can’t say. But we want to keep putting out new music — not, maybe, an album but a few songs here, a few songs there, and that’s good.”
Neil described “Dogs Of War” as “like old school meets new school. It’s got that old-school vibe about it, but it’s new music. Nikki came up with it and he sent me the music and I thought it was really cool. So I started singing it and we got in the studio and it turned into the song I think the fans are really gonna like it.”
Mötley Crüe‘s new deal with Big Machine Records sees the band working together again after making the 2014 project “Nashville Outlaws: A Tribute To Mötley Crüe”.
“It’s a great match for us,” Vince told Classic Rock. “We’re good friends with Big Machine founder/CEO Scott Borchetta, who put together the ‘Nashville Outlaws’ album back in 2014. His company just knows radio, how to get it out there, how to get the right people listening.”
