SINGAPORE: They are the embodiment of their own music genre - sex, drugs and rock and roll.

Even with their numerous brushes with the law, addictions to alcohol and drugs and had countless escapades with women, there is no denying how Los Angeles heavy metal band Motley Crue have shaped rock and roll to what it is today.

With over 80 million records sold worldwide, the crew of Motley Crue - Tommy Lee, Vince Neil, Mick Mars and Nikki Sixx - will showcase their head-banging sounds (and nearly three decades of decadence) for the first time ever in Singapore.

Come 16 October, 8pm, Fort Canning Park will be transformed into a crazy, loud fest.

"This is not a safe bet, (neither is it) a show for the weak of heart," warned guitarist Mick Mars.

After regrouping and headlining their 2005
Carnival of Sins world tour, named by Pollstar as the number seven grossing tour of the year, The Crue is set to reclaim their rock and roll crowns again.

“We needed to make new music,” said Sixx. “We’re not a nostalgic act. It seemed to make sense to me to get the bull**** out of the way and just make music. We’ve created our own sound and it was time to do it again.”

The Crue’s latest release, "Saints of Los Angeles" is their first CD with the original line-up in over a decade and the ninth studio album in their career. Based on the autobiographical events with very personal lyrics, the revealing CD offers tremendous insight to the lives of the rebellious leaders of the “LA rock” movement.

Early-bird General Admission Tickets are S$140 and are on sale from Monday, September 8 at all
Sistic outlets.

The ticket price will increase to S$150 from September 22 to October 15 and $160 on the day of the show.
