Motley Crüe, the bad boys of rock, return and ink us with New Tattoo! There may be a new Crüe for the new millennium, but not a new sound. Motley has proven what was once good can still rock us. New Tattoo is a combination of Shout at the Devil and Dr. Feelgood. The band has never sounded so tight. Vince's vocals are strong. The riffs kick into overdrive and have you singing right along from first listen. The exit of Tommy Lee has not affected the Crüe except that, if anything, it has caused a burst of creative energy.

Again this summer, the Crüe is taking over arenas and sheds. This year Anthrax and Megadeth are joining them. New Tattoo is going to blow the die-hard Crüe fans away, while bringing new ones to the flock. Be prepared to get a New Tattoo and rock with Motley Crüe.

My favorite track, again Mr. Mars has out done himself. The music is strong and very catchy unlike the Generation Swine album.

Vince's vocals are clear and precise. This one is sure to go over well live.

A cover of the Tubes song, this is a killer number, although it should be faster. I mean it is punk right?
