Mötley Crüe Single Selling Better When Listeners Can Factor In Irony

According to Reuters, Mötley Crüe’s single “Saints of Los Angeles” is selling better as a Rock Band download than the run-of-the-mill iPod variety at a clip of five to one. What a fucking shocker! We can’t believe no one wants to add “Saints” to their playlist favorites when they can try and play it on Rock Band and take turns trying to look deader than Mick Mars while still playing lead guitar. And yes, “deader” is a word… starting now.

Mötley Crüe Music Now Played At Mötley Crüe Concerts, Strip Clubs And On Rock Band

Break out the pleather pants and throw the horns like a middle-aged metalhead. Mötley Crüe announced a deal to release their new single, “Saints of Los Angeles” exclusively on Rock Band. Xbox 360 users can pick up the song on April 15th, PlayStation owners get their chance a few days later on April 17th. Not to be outdone, Def Leppard will release “Nine Lives,” a single from their new album, Songs from the Sparkle Lounge for Guitar Hero on April 24th. The real winner here? Brett Michaels. Nothing says “pop culture relevance” like a reality show based on relentlessly pulling the strings on a brood of psycho-cougars.
