Mötley Crüe has made a comeback with their latest single “Dogs Of War,” their first without Mick Mars. The song kicks off with promise, showcasing the signature Mötley Crüe sound of 2024. However, it falls short of delivering memorable hooks, making it somewhat unremarkable. The band’s performance is solid, featuring a standout guitar solo by John 5. Yet, Vince Neil’s vocals feel lacking, with repetitive and clichéd lyrics like “down down.”
One notable aspect is the single’s artwork, embracing the trend of AI-generated art with a rather abstract and perplexing cover. Despite its shortcomings, at least it’s not a country rap fusion, which is a relief. You can grab a “Dogs Of War” picture disc to add to your collection.
In recent news, Mötley Crüe has teamed up with Big Machine Records for their new music ventures. Vince Neil expressed excitement about the partnership, citing their friendship with Scott Borchetta, the label’s founder and CEO. Borchetta, in turn, praised the band’s impact on the music scene and teased fans with the promise of fierce new Crüe music. It seems like a collaboration that will bring their music to a wider audience.
