Mötley Crüe have released the video to “Saints of Los Angeles”, the first single and title track off their new album. The black and white clip shows the band performing an underground concert spliced with various high speed camera shots, like one of drummer Tommy Lee getting slapped in the face.
There are guest appearances from Buckcherry’s Josh Todd, Papa Roach’s Jacoby Shaddix, Sixx A.M.’s James Michael and Trapt’s Chris Brown, who all provide backing vocals on the track.
They are all also members of bands that will head out on tour with the Crue during the group’s 40-plus-city trek dubbed Crue Fest ’08. That kicks off on July 1st in West Palm Beach, Florida and tickets for the shows are either on sale now or will go on sale tomorrow. Meanwhile, Saints of Los Angeles, the album, hits shelves on June 17th.
The band took the stage at the Avalon in Hollywood last week and performed “Kickstart My Heart,” and also debuted their new single “Saints of Los Angeles.” At the press conference before the show, the band talked about the tour. Drummer Tommy Lee said, “Hopefully it’ll be like Ozzfest and carry on for years.”
