Mötley Crüe is gearing up to take over the Las Vegas Strip once again with their newly announced fourth residency, Carnival Of Sins In Sin City. Setting up shop at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace for an eight-show run starting March 12, 2027, the hard rock icons plan to deliver an expansive stage spectacle packed with classic anthems and rare fan-voted selections.

Drummer Tommy Lee revealed that staying anchored in one venue allows the band to push their production boundaries far beyond standard touring logistics.

"Well, I guess the safe thing to say would be to expect the unexpected because when we get a chance to set up in one place and not move it from city to city, it really opens up a lot of areas for us to just kind of have our way with the place," Lee said.

Bassist Nikki Sixx explained that audience polling reshaped their setlist, resurrecting vintage staples like "Take Me To The Top" to massive multi-generational crowds alongside their legendary catalog hits. A portion of all ticket sales from the limited run will also be donated to the Nevada Partnership For Homeless Youth to support young people facing homelessness across Southern Nevada.

Which vintage deep cut are you hoping makes the setlist for this Las Vegas residency?

Iron Maiden drummer Nicko McBrain did not hold back when discussing Donald Trump, revealing that he bluntly rejected a past invitation to play a round of golf with the US president. Despite historically avoiding political or religious topics, the 74-year-old musician shared his unvarnished thoughts while discussing his newly released autobiography, Hello Boys and Girls!, published via Harper Nonfiction.

"I'm not amused by the narcissism, and all this kerfuffle about the Epstein files and whatnot, and especially the debauched war that he's put on Iran," McBrain explained before issuing a firm closing verdict on the administration: "My last word on Trump and his bunch of cronies is, they should be put in jail."

The longtime Florida resident, who has lived in Boca Raton for nearly 40 years, added that his proximity to Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach is "too fucking close, mate." His new book marks a comprehensive look at a career spanning more than five decades, covering his legendary work behind the kit for Iron Maiden, Trust, and beyond.

What are your thoughts on Nicko McBrain breaking his usual political silence?

Ozzy Osbourne worked with producer Andrew Watt on a collection of unreleased songs recorded for an intentional purpose prior to his death. The pair listened to the unreleased tracks together in a Birmingham hotel room the night before Black Sabbath's Back to the Beginning concert in 2025, just seventeen days before the Prince of Darkness passed away.

Watt revealed that there are tentative plans to release the material eventually, though the emotional weight has kept him from revisiting it since. "There are some songs that we made for a specific reason," Watt shared. "And, yeah, that’s all I can say. They're hard for me to listen to."

Watt recalled getting dinner with Sharon Osbourne when Ozzy repeatedly texted him to come over and hear the music ahead of the massive gig. Do you hope these unreleased Ozzy Osbourne tracks eventually see the light of day?
