Motley Crue has released a new single, a cover of the Beastie Boys classic (You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party!).
Like Dogs Of War (listen here), which was made available in April, Mötley‘s rendition of (You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party!) was recorded in April 2023 with longtime producer Bob Rock. A third song titled, Cancelled, was also captured.
The band debuted its cover of (You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party!) during a “secret” June 30th, 2023 club performance for 450 lucky fans at the Underworld in London, England.
Both Dogs Of War and Fight For Your Right are both available through Mötley Crüe‘s new deal with Nashville’s Big Machine Records,
The band’s deal with Big Machine sees the band and the label working together again after making the 2014 project Nashville Outlaws: A Tribute To Mötley Crüe, which featured Crüe tracks covered by country stars Rascal Flatts, Florida Georgia Line, Darius Rucker and more. Big Machine also partnered with new guitarist John 5 for the release of his 2021 album Sinner.

Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!
Why is Motley Crue releasing a cover song? Cuz Mick Mars took all the good riff ideas with him when he left the band…..
Bingo!
If your gonna do a cover why that and yes Mick took a the good riffs with him.
First “Like A Virgin,” now this shit, what’s next? Can it get any worse? Ugh…

OMG, I forgot all about Like Virgin, LOL!!! I am sure that was willful, as well as, subconscious, on my part.
Lol! Well, it’s easy to forget!
