Tommy Lee Reconsiders Quitting the Crue, Kid Rock Announces Club Dates, Marilyn Manson Brands Own Absinthe

9/17/07, 9:32 am EST

  • After quitting Mötley Crüe last week, Tommy Lee has issued a statement indicating he’s not done with the band just yet: “I am a founding member of Mötley Crüe. I have tried to meet with my bandmates repeatedly without success but have informed them that I’m not walking away from my band of twenty-five years,” the statement reads. “It troubles me that the current legal issues which were filed by the corporations against my personal manager are separating us and causing more dysfunction. I hope we can work this out amongst ourselves.”
  • Marilyn Manson has introduced his own brand of absinthe, Mansinthe. A .7 liter bottle is 66.6% alcohol, and runs about $40. Manson was directly involved with the product’s development, offering his opinions on samples until the final blend — which is made in Switzerland and “distilled from fine herbs, naturally colored and not sugared” — was reached.
  • Spiked fences: enemy of rock. A Pennsylvania man was impaled on an twelve-foot fence by his thigh while trying to sneak into the Bad Boys of Rock tour, featuring Papa Roach, Hinder and Buckcherry. Though he held a ticket to the show, reports indicate the victim and his friends were trying to avoid the venue’s $5 entrance fee.
  • Two people were taken to a local hospital after being critically injured on Friday when a fire broke out at Austin City Limits Festival. The blaze, which was contained after forty minutes, is being attributed to a propane tank attached to a vendor trailer. Though Pete Yorn’s set was briefly disrupted, the festival continued without major problems.
  • Kid Rock has announced a brief club tour in conjunction with the release of Rock N Roll Jesus on October 9th. Full list of dates after the jump:

Kid Rock Tour Dates:

October 6: Cincinnati, OH (Taft Theater)
October 9: New York City, NY (Fillmore at Irving Plaza)
October 13: Toronto, CAN (Kool Haus)
October 16: Nashville, TN (Ryman Auditorium)
October 18: Miami, FL (The Fillmore)
October 20: Atlanta, GA (The Tabernacle)

What happened to Supernova? All that bullshit you went through to get that weak ass lead singer.

How could you think you could make a band with you, the wife beater, Jason Newsted who turned into a douche who lost his skills, and Gilby Clarke a third-rate replacement for the great Izzy Stradlin?

Now you have to turn tail run back to your fossilized buddies in Motley Crue, while constantly looking over your shoulder for Kid Rock! Your fuckin’ totaled, man. Totaled.

cruekid | 9/17/2007, 10:53 am EST

Don’t listen to that douche’s comments. Motley Crue rules! Keep it up Tommy, you guys are the best!

Supersonic | 9/17/2007, 11:01 am EST

BTW there’s a real bitchin’ Foo Fighters review following a Nirvana book report, you might want to check it out.

oh goody,,,more shitty hate filled “music” from the pasty little rap white boy. “Blah, blah blah,,,,my daughter,,,blah, blah, blah,,,my ex wife,,,,blah, blah, blah,,,my mom does drugs,,,,” did i miss anything

Supersonic | 9/17/2007, 11:11 am EST

Dear Feminem, you’re rockin’ and rollin’, baby. You’re part of us writers who are rippin’ it up and takin’ no prisoners today.
Rock On!

Gerald Kessler ICU | 9/17/2007, 11:38 am EST

“Keep it up, Tommy.” Keep up what, exactly? Wigging out and wrecking every band that he’s in?

Is it his constant chasing of ho’s around. Maybe it’s the hairtrigger jealous rages he flies up into with his girlfriend/wife/girfriend.

“You guys are the best.”

As far as I know that haven’t recorded a new album since “Motley Crue” in ‘93.

The best at what? ODing, getting arrested, smashing up cars, collecting STDs?

Yeah, they’re “the best.” At what? Who the hell knows.

Hey Gerald Kessler AKA DUMBASS | 9/17/2007, 1:34 pm EST

First of all their self titled came out it 94.

Second of all, theyve had two albums out since then…

Generation Swine (1997)

New Tattoo (2000)

Get your facts straight next time before you come on here.

scissor me timbers | 9/17/2007, 5:13 pm EST

who gives a fuck when the last album came out motley crue are a fucking joke. yeah, hair metal rules

Wild Side | 9/17/2007, 5:41 pm EST

“yeah, hair metal rules”

Actually it does. Beats anything you listen to.

JacobM. | 9/17/2007, 6:24 pm EST

Oh, the horror of what I must see and endure on every eve between these PLAINS…the dismal abuse by these wealthy mortals…the ghosts never leave, but somebody, please release me from these CHAINS…

HEPATITIS B | 9/18/2007, 1:10 am EST

TOMMY LEE IS AN ANGEL SENT FROM ABOVE. My name is Hepatitis B, on behalf of my brothers, Hepatitis C & D, we say thank you! Thanks for spreading us around to all the women. You are a STD’s best friend, Tommy, and I mean that. Whenever I need a free ride, there you are. I’m the only guy in LA who doesn’t need a car. You really are kind to diseases. WE GO EVERYWHERE WITH YOU. The chicks are awesome. Its so great to infect them. F’em if they can’t take a joke.

Gerald Kessler ICU | 9/18/2007, 5:29 am EST

yeah. Emphesis on the BAD!

Gerald Kessler ICU | 9/18/2007, 5:31 am EST

Hepetitis B, wow that was really clever!

Gerald Kessler ICU | 9/18/2007, 5:36 am EST

Wild Side, Yeeaaaaahhhh, Rock On girlfriend! Shut the fuck up. You have NOTHING to say!

PS Jackson Pollock thinks Van Gogh sucks ass!

doug | 9/18/2007, 7:35 am EST

too BAD

shark | 9/18/2007, 10:01 am EST

Van Gogh was already dead for at least 20 years by the time Jackson Pollock was born. Idiots.

Jackson Pollock | 9/18/2007, 10:07 am EST

VanGogh was dead from birth, bitch.

What are you smoking??? | 9/18/2007, 10:13 am EST

RE:Wild Side | 9/17/2007, 5:41 pm EST

“yeah, hair metal rules”

Actually it does. Beats anything you listen to.

Yeah, Like Led Zeppelin, right? Fuckin’ dolt!!!

Denis Leary | 9/18/2007, 10:21 am EST

Jimi Hendrix, Janis, Jim Morrison all died from overdoses.
The bands you’d wan’t to overdose, never would.
You could put Motley Crue in a room with 2 tons of crack, they’d come back out in a half hour, “Rock On, Man.”
Oh my God, I can’t believe it; they’re still alive!

shark | 9/18/2007, 10:32 am EST

Jackson has a nasty temper.

TOMMY LEE KICKED MY ASS | 9/18/2007, 10:47 am EST

HE’S A BADASS. I was whipping his butt, then his body guard came along and grabbed me. After Tommy Lee stopped crying he really beat the hell out of me. He’s really tough. I’m a girl, and usually I only fight other girls, but Tommy Lee is so skinny and pathetic I thought I could take him.

Jackson Pollock | 9/18/2007, 11:29 am EST

And shark doesn’t have a pulse

Wild Side | 9/18/2007, 5:29 pm EST

“Yeah, Like Led Zeppelin, right? Fuckin’ dolt!!!”

Screw Zeppelin

and the hep b thing was pretty lame. sorry.

lk | 9/18/2007, 5:55 pm EST

Jackson Pollock, although an innovative painter, was a troubled alcoholic. He didn’t have a PULSE after he killed himself while driving drunk.

RE: Wild Side | 9/18/2007, 7:50 pm EST

DA: Wild Side has no sense of humorless. She wouldn’t know funny if it crawled up her fuckin’ knee cap. In addition, she is mentally deranged, thinking that Motley Crue is a more important band than Led Zeppelin.
Ladies and Gentleman, I emplore you to punish her to the full extent of the law, and that’s is death by electrocution.

The Prosecution Rests.

Gerald Kessler ICU | 9/18/2007, 7:51 pm EST

You shut me up?
When was this, exactly.

Tipping The Scale | 9/18/2007, 7:55 pm EST

Jackson Pollock was an alcoholic.

Vincent Van Gogh chopped his ear off.

Hmmmm . . .

James Dean | 9/19/2007, 2:12 am EST

YOU’RE TEARING ME APART!!!

MAYHEM | 9/19/2007, 4:51 am EST

I am the word, MAYHEM. Unfortunately I have been tatooed on Tommy Lee’s belly. Let me tell you, it sucks to be here. Tommy cries a bunch and he gets nose bleeds when he gets nervous. I’m constantly covered with his own bodily fluids. He scratches me all the time, and he says a lot of stupid boring things. Seriously, it sucks to be me. I’d rather be tatooed on a monkey’s ass than anywhere on this diseased scuzzball Tommy Lee.

Dear U Must B Joking! | 9/19/2007, 1:13 pm EST

You (Bukowski) talk a lot, but you do not have anything important to say.

Bukowski | 9/19/2007, 1:55 pm EST

Boy, those are SOME SHARKS!

3rd DRUMSTICK | 9/19/2007, 4:52 pm EST

Hi. I am Tommy Lee’s 3rd drumstick. I am probably the saddest mthfkr in the world. Tommy Lee keeps me in a dark and smelly place. Sometimes he forgets that I’m here, up his skinny deseased ass. This is hell. I am lonely. I never get out and I never meet anyone other than the occasional gerbil or hamster. There are alot of worms in here with me, but they make lousy conversation, AND THEY LIKE IT HERE, up Tommy’s butt. Me, not so much.

Ding Ding Ding | 9/19/2007, 10:00 pm EST

Tommy Lee Reconsiders Quitting the Crue, Kid Rock Announces Club Dates, Marilyn Manson Brands Own Absinthe . . .

And now, possibly, a turf war!
This just might be THE BEST WEEK EVER!

Wild Side | 9/19/2007, 11:31 pm EST

“You shut me up?
When was this, exactly.”

When I proved your lack of music knowledge when you thought the crues last album came out in ‘93.

OJ Simpson | 9/20/2007, 4:30 am EST

Do you think you can take MY SHIT?
Do you think you can take MY SHIT? MOTHERFUCKER???

Vince Neil | 9/20/2007, 7:55 am EST

Allright people, clap your hands, ’cause the show’s just getting started. WOOOOOOOOWWW!

Dear artist haters | 9/20/2007, 3:01 pm EST

All I see is immaturity and ignorance by certain commentors on this post. Bashing Emily Carr is the equivalency of the bashing all Canadian artists. Emily Carr is one of Canada’s most renowned, beloved and respected painters. I do hope that Emily’s ghost is watching.

BRILLIANT GREEK | 9/20/2007, 5:40 pm EST

Tommy Lee is a big dick with a moron attatched to it.

blah, blah, blah. yada, yada, yada.
Yeh, I met this Emily chick, she’s a real stiff in bed!!!

Bukowski | 9/23/2007, 5:03 pm EST

Dear RS,

How can I know for sure it’s HER?
Easy, just say something negative about Pearl Jam or Nivana and she goes FUCKIN’ BALLISTIC.

See ya

PS I actually like Nirvana a lot. But SHE doesn’t know that!!!

Bukowski | 9/23/2007, 5:07 pm EST

not to mention that I’d be able to pick out her wrtiting if was put in a bowl of alphabet soup!

I’m a meanie. Not really.
