And as a bonus to fans, it seems the opening act will be one of their heroes, Alice Cooper. Eddie Trunk broke the news last night (Jan. 16) on Twitter, with a post that included a picture of a tour poster which had Cooper listed as the “very special guest.” (The tweet has since been deleted.) Blabbermouth is reporting that the tour dates will be announced at a press conference on Jan. 28 in Los Angeles. Above the band will be a banner with the rumored tour slogan, “RIP: All Bad Things Must Come to An End.” Later that day, the band will appear on the ABC late-night television program ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ where they will perform on an outdoor stage. Motley Crue have been hinting about calling it quits since early 2013, delivering one more album and then embarking on a world tour for the next two years.

If true, you can expect worldwide dates, likely with additional openers TBA. EDDIE’S fingers aren’t fingers they are muscle-powered pistons that hammer guitar strings to the fretboard with the force of a rivet gun”. PT5150Quote |

PT5150 (6290) | I liked the Crue for a long time but the last few Tours have lost me…Same set’s and Tommy looks like he would rather be any where else. If they do this Tour with close to the same Set list and with no NEW music it will be a shame. http://ultimateclassicrock.com/nikki-sixx-says-motley-crue-will-retire-after-one-more-album-tour/ Sixx discussed the subject during a recent interview with the Australian site TheMusic (via Bravewords), reiterating that in the immediate future, he wants the band to “finish our movie” — an adaptation of their oral history ‘The Dirt’ — “and put out a new album.” EDDIE’S fingers aren’t fingers they are muscle-powered pistons that hammer guitar strings to the fretboard with the force of a rivet gun”.

PT5150 (6290) | The things that make it final is Mick’s health issues and Tommy not being interested in Rock Music any more..Think he is happy spinning records at night clubs.

King Edward (1950) | I Loved the early Crue and even the Corobi experiment…..but these days I have pretty much grown tired of Vince and his poor attitude towards the band and overall love for himself. He seems to think he is still a great front man, IMO he has lost it! Nikki and his ego are embarassing and Tommy Lee’s lost interest in rock music (well put PT5150)….Seems like a money grab for 3/4 of them. Hard to believe thy have turned into what they are now. Those first two records and attitude are great! The only one I still have 100% respect for and love his playing is Mick Mars. Still love him….I heard he is going to be on this season of That Metal Show. I look forward to seeing that. King EdwardQuote |

I remember the Eagles joking on stage a few years ago … one guy says, “Welcome to the Eagles Farewell Tour … number three!” And another guy steps to the mic and says, “Three? I thought this was number four. Oh wait … that’s next year’s tour!” At least they have a sense of humor about it. guitardQuote |

Gilligan (1518) | Yeah, I agree with King Edward – the only Crue member I really ever liked is Mick. Do we know how old he actually is? I saw them like 6 or more years ago and he could barely move then, but I guess he’s still out there rockin’. GilliganQuote |

sickman (2380) | I wonder how many tours are billed as a farewell tour by management rather than a band to sell more tix. I am surprised they didn’t call Van Halen’s 2004 tour a farewell tour. As far as Crue goes I could care less that they are calling it quits. It’s about time. Aside from finding new ways to suspend his drum kit, Tommy has been phoning it in for years. The Girls Girls Girls tour IMO was their last good tour. sickmanQuote |

PT5150 (6290) | One of the most notorious bands in music is calling it a day. Motley Crue have announced a farewell tour with the legendary Alice Cooper serving as the opening act. Cooper and Motley Crue have never toured together before, and Alice says the tour will be “rock and roll at its most extreme.” EDDIE’S fingers aren’t fingers they are muscle-powered pistons that hammer guitar strings to the fretboard with the force of a rivet gun”.
