recordstoreday.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n“Live Wire” was originally released as a single on August 16, 1982.<\/p>\n
“The song is actually about domestic violence,” M\u00d6TLEY CR\u00dcE bassist Nikki Sixx explained in 2019, noting that the track stemmed from his “relationship with my mother and these stepdads that used to beat me.”<\/p>\n
“Live Wire” was included on M\u00d6TLEY CR\u00dcE’s debut album, “Too Fast For Love”, which initially received a limited release via Leath\u00fcr Records in 1981. A year later, the group signed a deal with Elektra, who, after remixing and adjusting the track listing, gave “Too Fast For Love” a wider release.<\/p>\n
M\u00d6TLEY CR\u00dcE’s upcoming “The Return Of Carnival Of Sins” tour will celebrate the 20th anniversary of CR\u00dcE’s groundbreaking 2005-2006 “Carnival Of Sins” tour and the 45th anniversary of the band. The 33-city Live Nation-produced trek will kick off on July 17, 2026 in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania at the Pavilion at Star Lake and will feature support acts EXTREME and TESLA.<\/p>\n
M\u00d6TLEY CR\u00dcE said that $1 from every ticket sold for “The Return Of Carnival Of Sins” will be donated to ASAP! (After School Arts Program) through the M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce Giveback Initiative to fund hands-on arts programs for young people.<\/p>\n
M\u00d6TLEY CR\u00dcE’s 2025 Las Vegas residency launched on September 12 and at Dolby Live at Park MGM and ran through October 3. The shows had initially been set for spring 2025 but were rescheduled after frontman Vince Neil revealed he had suffered a stroke on Christmas 2024.<\/p>\n
In September 2025, Vince revealed that he had actually had a series of strokes before he suffered the “big one” in his sleep Christmas 2024 night, rendering him unable to get out of bed when he woke up the next day.<\/p>\n
When M\u00d6TLEY CR\u00dcE originally postponed the Las Vegas residency, the band said it was because Neil needed a “medical procedure,” but offered no further details.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"You can celebrate the 45th anniversary of M\u00d6TLEY CR\u00dcE with the “Live Wire” EP as part of Record…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":449178,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[53],"tags":[88,216],"class_list":["post-449177","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/449177","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=449177"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/449177\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/449178"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=449177"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=449177"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=449177"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
