The bad boys of the Sunset Strip are returning to give their fans a treat while promoting their forthcoming EP in the best way possible: with rock.

Mötley Crüe have announced they will play three legendary Sunset Strip clubs in October to draw attention to their new three-song EP Cancelled featuring a cover of the Beastie Boys' "Fight For Your Right (To Party)."

And best of all tickets will be just $19.81 to celebrate the year they formed in Hollywood and played their first gig, and later released their debut LP, Too Fast For Love.

The Roxy, the Whisky A Go Go, and the Troubadour are all West Hollywood mainstays which have been around since the 1960s.

Technically the Troubadour is on Santa Monica Blvd. and not Sunset Blvd., but it is typically considered a Sunset Strip club since it's less than a mile away and directly south of the Roxy.

Next door to the Roxy is the Rainbow which has a secret upstairs jam room, but it's better known for its pizza, full bar, and outdoor bar where Lemmy used to knock back his Jack & Cokes for hours.

The Rainbow will sell the merch for the trio of shows.

Look no further than this snapshot of gigs they played between Sept and December.

Four gigs at the Troubadour, three at the Whisky, and a night at the Roxy two days after Too Fast For Love came out.

That's how important these clubs were to the Crüe's beginnings.

It also shows you how supportive LA fans were back then. All those shows in just a few months?

That's what happens when there's a scene. Who cares if you've heard the songs a bunch in such a short period of time?

At some point it becomes the soundtrack for your summer and tunes like "Take Me to the Top" and "Live Wire" had that edge that a lot of hair bands lacked at the time. Of course you'd want to hear it a lot, live.

One big difference as the quartet reminisces about their past, they have replaced their guitar player Mick Mars, who was a vital part of the band.

The 73-year-old has been battling a degenerative disease called ankylosing spondylitis (AS), which is like arthritis that causes inflammation in the spine, and joints.

Two years ago Mick told Blabbermouth that he's fine, but traveling is tough on him.

"My AS is what it is," he told the site. "There's nothing I could do about that. The hard stuff, like flying here and doing this — that crap is a little difficult for me to do nowadays 'cause I'm almost a solid bone now. It got a little rough, but that doesn't mean I'm not gonna do a lot of music. As long as my brain and my hands and legs work, I'm never stopping."

He also told Variety: “I carried those bastards for years.”

In his place is the ridiculously talented John5.

You might be asking yourself, "wait, Mötely Crüe is still playing? Didn't they sign a contract saying they were going to stop touring?"

Why yes they did. In 2014 they signed contracts saying they were going to do a farewell tour and call it quits.

"We want to leave a legacy,” bassist Nikki Sixx said in the Roosevelt Hotel on Hollywood Blvd that January.

“We want to have some dignity. We feel there’s a lot of bands out there that don’t have dignity. We started this band as something we believed in and we want to call it a day and be proud.”

Their lawyer Doug Mark said the four members were signing a “cessation of touring” contract.

“That’s not a phrase that anyone has used before,” Mark explained. “There has never been such a thing as far as I know. It’s an agreement that binds the four of them to not utilize the trademark for touring in the future.”

The band played 158 shows on that Farewell Tour and grossed $86 million in a year and a half.

As you may have seen, in 2022 the band reformed to do a stadium tour with Def Leppard and Poison. So Mötley Crüe's name was soon added to the list of bands who had farewell tours and came back. On that list is Kiss, The Who, Black Sabbath, Phil Collins, Ozzy Osbourne, and LCD Soundsystem.

In order to get your tickets to one of the three shows next month, you're going to have to stand in line outside the box office of one of the three clubs.

Only two tickets will be sold per person. And like in olden times, they will be hard tickets.

The shows will be 10/7 at the Troubadour, 10/9 at the Roxy, and 10/11 at the Whisky. 10-4?
