Hollywood (January 25, 2006) - Rock's most notorious bad boys can add another claim to their Star on the Walk of Fame: normally unflappable Hollywood Mayor Johnny Grant was provoked into flipping the bird (visions of Spiro Agnew!) as unruly fans taunted and chanted during the band's induction ceremony on Hollywood Blvd.
The Hollywood Walk of Fame's newly unveiled 2,301st star for Mötley Crüe, umlauts and all, is appropriately located at 6752 Hollywood Boulevard in front of the Musician's Institute. Following Mr. Grant's introduction, and Tommy's goosing and groping of the Hollywood Mayor's behind, fans were so unruly that the cherubic Grant asked the "children" to quiet down before humorously, and historically, displaying his extended digit in the direction of a boisterous fan. Amidst whoops and laughter the ceremony continued with all members of the band conveying their heartfelt thanks to the crowd on having been bestowed with such an honor.
Mötley Crüe, have sold more than 40 million albums worldwide,
documented their quintessentially decadent lifestyle in their best-selling 2001 autobiography and soon-to-be feature film, The Dirt, and had one of the top-grossing tours of 2005, with all four original members reuniting to play before an estimated one million people in the U.S. Tommy Lee, Mick Mars, Vince Neil and Nikki Sixx first joined forces in 1981, their albums generating such iconic singles as "Smokin' in the Boys Room," "Girls Girls Girls," "Dr. Feelgood" and "Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)." As one of the most indulgent bands in history, their reckless lifestyle eventually took its toll, and they disbanded in 1999. With their reunion six years later, Mötley Crüe released the double-platinum Red, White & Crüe and spent most of the year on the road for their "Carnival of Sins" tour, whose next leg extends into 2006.
