Mötley Crüe (IPA pronunciation: ['mot-lee
kru]) is a popular American rock band from
Los Angeles, California. The band is made up
of Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee, Mick Mars, and
Vince Neil. Mötley Crüe is considered one
of the most successful American heavy metal
and hard rock bands, having sold over 41
million albums worldwide and 24 million
records in the US alone. Their ninth studio
album is due to be released sometime in 2007.
[edit] History
Mötley Crüe was formed in California during
1980, after bassist Nikki Sixx left the band
London which he had started in 1979 after he
was fired from Blackie Lawless' band Sister.
Drummer Tommy Lee had previously played in a
band called Suite 19 with vocalist/guitarist
Greg Leon. Sixx, Lee and Leon started
rehearsing but Leon decided not to continue,
and the bassist and drummer looked for new
members.
Sixx and Lee met guitarist Mick Mars — at
that time still performing in blues based
heavy metal acts under his name Bob Alan Deal
— through an ad in The Recycler reading
"Loud, rude, aggressive guitarist available."
When they first met Mars, Sixx's first
reaction was, "I can't believe it! Here's
another one like us!", and Lee later said in
interviews that Mars "came in looking like
Cousin Itt from The Addams Family." Mars'
equipment was quickly set up and shortly
after, he was playing the opening riff to
"Stick to Your Guns". Mars proceeded to,
according to Lee, "play the shit out of his
guitar." After getting drunk and jamming for
an hour, Sixx and Lee hired Mars, and Mick
fired the band's guitarist, who was a
musician known only as Robin (a "pansy"
according to Lee).
It was Mars who came up with the band's name.
While in his former band, White Horse, one of
the band members walked in and called the
group "a motley looking crew." Mars copied
the name down on paper, with the original
spelling Mottley Kru. The name was later
applied to the band he was to join in 1981
with Sixx and Lee. However, there is much
talk about the band floating the name
"Christmas" before they settled on Mötley
Crüe. According to Nikki in the band's VH1
"Behind The Music" episode, it was his
suggestion, thinking that a familiar, popular
word for a name would attract fans by itself.
Lee and Vince Neil originally knew each other
in high school (Royal Oak H.S.) in Covina.
They had performed in different bands in the
garage-band circuit. Mars suggested Mötley
Crüe hire Vince after seeing him perform
with the band Rock Candy at the Starwood in
Hollywood. At first Neil rebuffed the band
when they asked him to audition. Then, as
fate would have it, Rock Candy dissolved;
Vince broke down and agreed to audition for
Mötley Crüe after Lee called him once more.

Casshern Sins Ep 1 part 1 of 3.
After decades since the original anime
series, the cybernetic warrior returns in
this franchise reboot, Casshern Sins. In a
world where the powerful robot leader known
as Braiking Boss rule over humanity with an
iron fist, a mysterious girl named Luna is
summoned by the people for salvation. To
retaliate against this potential threat,
Braiking sends 3 of his most powerful
cyborgs, Casshern, Dio and Reda to dispose of
her. Casshern manages to kill Luna, plunging
the world into a slow descent of annhilation.
Hundreds of years later, humanity is almost
extinct. Robots constantly replace their body
parts, fearing the corrosion of rust: their
only form of death. In this wretched time and
place, Casshern returns after a lengthy
disappearance since his murder of Luna.
Having lost his memory, Casshern now defends
the humans from the robots, and find out his
true identity and purpose.
Cassern is about a cyborg who rises against
the robotic armies that have subjugated all
of humanity.
