During a recent interview with Meltdown of Detroit’s WRIF radio station, guitarist John 5 was asked about the Motley Crue’s plans to release a new full-length album.
Here’s what the guitarist replied:
”You know what? I’m not sure. I think we’re gonna just drop songs. That’s what I’ve been doing personal (in my solo career) for a long time. And then what I do is I’ll just drop new songs, drop new songs, and then I’ll take all those songs and put ’em in a record and sell ’em at my shows or whatever, the full record. But I personally really like doing it this way.
“When you drop these songs individually, it’s like every song’s a single, and it’s really cool. And I think, like, just imagine if Van Halen did that. You would never know about ‘Take Your Whiskey Home’ or any of these deep cuts. You’re, like, ‘Oh, wow.’ Like ‘D.O.A.’ or something. What if these were all singles? ‘Cause in my eyes, all those songs are singles.
”I like those maybe more than ‘Ain’t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love’ or something like that. I think those deep cuts are just as good as the singles they put out. And these bands worked so hard on these songs.
”And nowadays you just listen to the singles and things like that. So, I like doing it that way. So I don’t know. I don’t know what they’re gonna do. I’m just along for the ride.”
