"We snuck in under the whatever threshold, wherever that was, where we got away with f***ing murder": Motley Crue drop new track about their surprise on never having been cancelled

Motley Crue have shared the new EP Cancelled, which features a brand new track of the same name.

The EP is made up of three songs, including the title-track, Dogs Of War, and their cover of Beastie Boys classic Fight For Your Right (To Party!), which was debuted during their live secret show at London's Underworld venue in 2023, where they performed under the pseudonym Dögs Of War.

The track, Dogs Of War , was shared as a single earlier this year, marking their first new music since 2015.

Speaking of the new EP, which was recorded in April 2023 by legendary longtime producer Bob Rock, the band write in a joint statement: "It was really great getting in the studio and working on some tracks together.

"What started out as a couple demo ideas turned into this EP produced by Bob Rock. We look forward to getting back into the studio again soon and writing more new music, as well."

Last year, drummer Tommy Lee spoke on the Bill Maher's Club Random podcast, where he revealed the inspiration behind the song Cancelled.

"There was this that was like, 'How did Motley Crue ever not get cancelled?'" he said.

"And we were like, 'Fuck, we've gotta write a song about that because we didn't ever get it.' We snuck in under the whatever threshold, wherever that was, where we got away with fucking murder."
