TMZ has obtained video of MÖTLEY CRÜE singer Vince Neil taking a closed-fist, rage-fueled swing at a front row concert-goer during a show in New Mexico over the weekend.
Says TMZ: “Neil had just started performing ‘Kickstart My Heart’ when the fan did something that pissed him off. Vince stopped the song and started yelling at the guy to ‘get the f*ck outta here!’ When the guy started getting mouthy back at Neil, the singer reached back and tried to punch the dude in the kisser… but the guy ducke … and Neil totally whiffed.”
MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx has proposed to his girlfriend, model Courtney Bingham.
Nikki states, “When Courtney and I were in St Bart’s I popped the question and she said YES…. We would like to thank everybody who has been tweeting and posting us online congratulations. Both of us and our families are beyond happy.”

A recent update from Sixx states: “So glad we recorded the new track ‘Sex’ and actually got it out in time for the last tour for you to hear live. Obviously there is much more to come (as always). Mick Mars told me he has so many riffs ready to go too… But ‘Sex’ was just a taste of some ‘New Crue’. I’ve personally been writing my ass off for months now. Feeling really inspired to follow it up with the rest of the songs from the band too.”
Acclaimed hard rock vocalist John Corabi — best known for his vocal work with MÖTLEY CRÜE, THE SCREAM and UNION — joined the Dutch KISS tribute band KISS ON THE ROCKS on stage on November 10 at Turbinenhalle in Oberhausen, Germany to perform several KISS classics. Fan-filmed video footage of his appearance can be seen below.
Commented KISS ON THE ROCKS: “Yes, people, dreams do come true. One more for us [on November 10]. We performed at the German Kiss Expo in Oberhausen, in the famous Turbinenhalle with no one less than John Corabi!
It’s always a pleasure performing in Germany, and Turbinenhalle had been high on our list for years. But to perform with one of our heroes, Mr. John Corabi, was just amazing.
“John joined us for soundcheck and later on performed ‘Strutter’, ‘She’ and ‘Come On And Love Me’ for an outrageous crowd of KISS and MÖTLEY CRÜE fans. John did an amazing acoustic set promoting his new album as well.”
Corabi‘s all-new acoustic release, “Unplugged”, is available on Rat Pak Records. The effort offers five new original tracks, seven re-recorded classic songs and in addition, features an exclusive 2012 behind-the-scenes interview with John. The album features John Corabi on vocals/guitar, Cheney Brannon (formerly of COLLECTIVE SOUL) on percussion/vocals, Topher Nolen on bass/vocals, D.A. Karkos on guitar/vocals, Matt Farley on percussion/vocals and Bruce Kulick (KISS, GRAND FUNK RAILROAD) on guitar (on “Hoolgan’s Holiday” and “ManIn The Moon”).

KISS and MÖTLEY CRÜE played the final show of “The Tour” last night (Sunday, September 23) at Comcast Theater in Hartford, Connecticut.
Fan-filmed video footage of KISS‘ performance can be seen below.
“The Tour” kicked off on July 20 in Bristow, Virginia. Although the bands officially co-headlined the trek, MÖTLEY CRÜE opened for KISS each night.
KISS will release its 20th studio album, “Monster”, on October 9 through Universal Music Enterprises. Described in a press release as a “12-track, straight-ahead rock ‘n’ roll album,” the CD features collaborations among all four members — including co-founders Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons and longtime members guitarist Tommy Thayer and drummer Eric Singer — in an album that shows the band at the top of its game.
“Monster” is the group’s first studio album since the band’s 2009 smash success, “Sonic Boom”, and was also produced by Paul Stanley with Greg Collins at Conway Studios in Hollywood, California, and The Nook in Studio City, California.
