John 5 talks about changes to Mötley Crüe’s setlist and new songs
“Yeah (New music), actually, that’s gonna be coming very soon. Actually, coming very, very soon. There’s gonna be some announcements coming up very soon, and I can’t really spill the beans now, but it is coming, baby. It is coming. It’s so cool. It reminds me of… It’s just like a little old Aerosmith. I don’t know. It’s just that Mötley cool riff. And Nikki is just amazing with that melody and all that stuff. He’s just incredible with those lyrics and melodies. So I’m really excited for the song to come out. I think people are going to super, super dig it,” John 5 said.
He continued talking about the concert setlists: “Oh my god, yeah (I suggest other songs). I do that all the time. And it’s cool. We’re doing ‘On With The Show’ now, and I love’On With The Show’. It’s so cool. But, yeah, I’m saying things all the time, like, ‘Ten Seconds To Love’ or ‘Bastard’ or anything like that, man. It’s so important to me. I love those songs. I love all those songs, all the records,” John 5 said.
