Red, White & Crüe is the eighth compilation album by the heavy metal band Mötley Crüe , released on February 1, 2005 by Mötley Records and charted at number 6 on The Billboard 200 .[ 8] To coincide with the album's release, the band reunited with drummer Tommy Lee , who left the band in 1999.
Background
Bassist Nikki Sixx commented on the band's reunion, comparing it to "seeing Mike Tyson fight. He probably won’t bite anyone’s ear off — but you’re there in case he does."[ 9]
According to vocalist Vince Neil , the early stages of the band's reunion were "kinda' strained. I hadn’t talked to Tommy Lee in years. Everyone was really guarded and had their managers there. It was very strange. Mick Mars was home, I guess. Either there or the hospital."[ 9]
Red, White & Crüe features three new studio recordings: the album's lead single, "If I Die Tomorrow ", co-written by pop punk band Simple Plan , the second single "Sick Love Song " and "Street Fighting Man ", a Rolling Stones cover. Tommy Lee does not perform on the cover of "Street Fighting Man "; drumming duties were handled by Josh Freese of The Vandals . The album also features previously unreleased tracks "Black Widow" and the Japanese bonus track "I'm a Liar".
Red, White & Crüe is certified platinum.
A video was made for "Sick Love Song," though the video, mostly composed of produced concert clips, got only scarce airplay, the song found its way onto some rock-oriented radio stations.
A special edition that includes a "Greatest Video Hits" DVD compilation was also made.
