Get ready to rock out with MÖTLEY CRÜE's upcoming 'Live Wire' EP, dropping on April 18, 2026, just in time for Record Store Day! This special release marks a significant milestone as it celebrates the 45th anniversary of the band's iconic 'Live Wire' promo EP, which has been out of print for a whopping 45 years. But here's where it gets controversial... the song's lyrics, which were initially thought to be about a wild night out, actually delve into a darker subject matter. As MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx revealed, the song is a powerful commentary on domestic violence, drawing from his personal experiences. So, while you're enjoying the music, take a moment to reflect on the song's deeper meaning. And this is the part most people miss... the EP's release is not just about nostalgia; it's a chance to support independent record stores and keep the spirit of vinyl alive. So, mark your calendars and get ready to rock out with MÖTLEY CRÜE's 'Live Wire' EP! But before you do, let's talk about the band's upcoming tour. MÖTLEY CRÜE is gearing up for their 'The Return Of Carnival Of Sins' tour, which will celebrate the 20th anniversary of their groundbreaking 'Carnival Of Sins' tour and the 45th anniversary of the band. The 33-city trek, produced by Live Nation, will kick off on July 17, 2026, in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania, and will feature support acts EXTREME and TESLA. And here's the part that will make you want to join the party - MÖTLEY CRÜE has announced that $1 from every ticket sold will be donated to ASAP!
