Vince Neil says not to expect a new Mötley Crüe album

Mötley Crüe have just released their first new song in five years but singer Vince Neil says fans shouldn’t expect an album to follow ‘Dogs of War’.

Speaking on Loudwire Nights, Neil said: "I don't think you're going to see a full-length at any time.

"It's easier now just to do a few songs at a time and release them in the right ways. Albums don't exist anymore,” he continued.

“With the MTV generation, you go to a record store and you find your favorite songs on your album and you buy the album and you watch it on MTV and you can see your favorite bands. Now, there's a billion ways, streaming services and other things — it's just, geez, I don't know."

He added: "It just seems like a lot of work to put 10 songs together on an album when they all won't be heard.

"At least you know when somebody buys (an album), they're going to listen to it. They're going to listen to the songs. Now we just write the songs to be listened to, to be heard, and that's what 'Dogs of War' was — a song to be heard. And we're really proud of it."

Neil did say that more new music would be forthcoming, even if it didn’t take the form of an album.

"More individual songs," he said. "We got one in the can right now and we don't know when we'll put it out. It might be the end of the year, it might be early '25, but you'll definitely hear some new music from Motley in the future."
