Earlier today, MÖTLEY CRÜE unveiled their first new music in five years.
The fresh track, “Dogs Of War,” marks the band’s initial release without iconic guitarist Mick Mars, but it appears to have left fans disheartened.
Quick to voice their disappointment, fans shared their views, with one commenting: “That was hot….garbage. The whole thing sounds like it was done on a computer. Drums, guitar are so blah. And vince’s voice is just done.”
Another lamented: “Couldn’t even finish the track, They are a dead band that lost their soul years ago. Sadly so.”
Additional comments expressed similar sentiments:
“They tried way too hard, and came up with overproduced, down-tuned, industrial garbage. Reminded me of my first listen to Chinese Democracy. Even the solo was stupid. What Motley fan was waiting for a song like that? What were you thinking Nikki? Nobody asked for a Phil Spector production.”
“Hahahaha I listened for 5 seconds and that was enough for me”
“I’m a huge Crue fan but I couldn’t even get through the whole song!”
“I’d rather listen to a Taylor Swift song than that chitt…”
CRÜE frontman Vince Neil previously described “Dogs of War” as “like old school meets new school. It’s got that old school vibe about it, but it’s new music. Nikki came up with it and he sent me the music and I thought it was really cool. So I started singing it and we got in the studio and it turned into the song I think the fans are really gonna like it.”
