MÖTLEY CRÜE Are Currently In The Studio With Producer BOB ROCK

MÖTLEY CRÜE have entered the studio with longtime producer Bob Rock to work on new music

On Monday night (April 17), MÖTLEY CRÜE guitarist John 5 posted a pic to his social media of him laying down some tracks in a recording studio. He also posted a picture of Bob Rock sitting at a mixing board with the accompanying caption: “Let’s do this @motleycrue #bobrock”.

Drummer Tommy Lee also shared the same photos to his Instagram account, as well as one showing himself, John 5 and MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx in the “big studio” along with the caption: “Hit that mother fucking record button Mr. Rock!!! Go!”

Back on April 13, Nikki Sixx confirmed that MÖTLEY CRÜE were writing new music. This news came after Sixx had tweeted that he and John 5 had spent some time “writing random riffs”, sharing an image of him, Lee and John 5 playing and recording in a studio, with the accompanying caption, “Another killer songwriting day with Tommy Lee and John 5.”

He added an additional tweet soon after which read: “We are writing. The creative process of songwriting has always been the heartbeat of our band. We’re gonna go in the big studio next week and record a few off the floor and see where it goes. We don’t have a definitive plan at this point. Just letting the songs guide us.”

John 5 was recruited into MÖTLEY CRÜE as the replacement for founding guitarist Mick Mars, who announced last October that he would no longer be touring with the band due to his ongoing pain and struggles with ankylosing spondylitis, an arthritic condition which affects the spine and sacroiliac joint.
