John Corabi Performing Entire Motley Crue Album Live
. (Classic Rock) Former Motley Crue vocalist John Corabi is performing his former group's 1994 album in its entirety. Corabi launched the trek in sync with Motley Crue's farewell tour, which will see the group release a new song before playing their final show in Los Angeles early next year. The ex-Union and Scream vocalist joined the Crue in 1992 following their split with Vince Neil and recorded the band's self-titled project, which presented an updated sound - a sonic mix of grunge and alternative metal - in the wake of Nirvana's breakthrough into the mainstream with 1991's Nevermind. While the album debuted and peaked at No. 7 on the US Billboard 200, fan reaction to the lineup change was not favourable and the record achieved US gold status - a tough pill for the band to swallow as the follow-up to their best-selling album, 1989's Dr. Feelgood. Corabi explains that history has been kind to the Motley Crue album. "A lot of fans, once Vince came back, saw it, picked it up and ended up really enjoying it. It's still trudging along and selling and doing its thing. The best thing to me is that it still sounds as relevant now as it did when it came out." The singer has launched the Motley '94 Tour, which sees him performing the album in full, including the lead single Hooligan's Holiday. Read more here.
