Listen To Snippet Of New MÖTLEY CRÜE Song 'The Dirt (Est. 1981)'

A snippet of a brand new MÖTLEY CRÜE song called “The Dirt (Est. 1981)” can be heard below. The track, which features a guest appearance by rapper Machine Gun Kelly, is one of four songs the group recorded for the soundtrack to the film adaptation of its biography, “The Dirt – Confessions Of The World’s Most Notorious Rock Band”.

The full “The Dirt (Est. 1981)” track will make its online debut tomorrow (Friday, February 22) courtesy of Motley Records/Eleven Seven.

Due on March 22, the movie, which was helmed by “Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa” director Jeff Tremaine, was picked up by Netflix after being previously developed at Focus Features and before that at Paramount.

Machine Gun Kelly — whose real name is Colson Baker — plays MÖTLEY CRÜE drummer Tommy Lee in the movie. “The Dirt” also stars Daniel Webber (“The Punisher”) as singer Vince Neil, Douglas Booth as Sixx and Iwan Rheon (“Game Of Thrones”) as guitarist Mick Mars.

The feature is quite dark, with an emphasis on Sixx‘s heroin addiction and the death of Neil’s daughter Skylar from cancer. Addressing the film’s long gestation period, Sixx noted: “Anybody can make a shitty rock movie. We don’t want to do that. A lot of people don’t understand rock music and the rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle. It’s not just sex, drugs and car crashes. Those things happen … and, in our case, more than usual. But what’s at the core of it all is the creativity and the personal relationships between each bandmember. We don’t just want to slap together the thrill moments. Any of the great movies, whether it’s ‘Walk The Line’ or ‘Ray’, they got the music right and the personalities right.”

Machine Gun Kelly told Billboard that he got his part in the movie after “a six-audition process. The first two, I was auditioning for Nikki Sixx, and then the last four for Tommy Lee, over the course of two and a half years,” he said.
