Band to Manager: We've Been Motley Scrued

Posted Jun 11th 2008 8:26PM by TMZ Staff

The members of Motley Crue have filed yet another lawsuit against their management, once again claiming they're the victims of a major money and power grab.

In the lawsuit, filed today in LA County Superior Court, band members say manager Burt Stein and his management companies were supposed to watch their back -- but instead took money and made backroom deals without their permission in order to cash in on the band's popularity.

If this sounds familiar, it is. Last year the band sued another manager, essentially alleging the same thing. That case was settled.

We couldn't reach Stein for comment.

5. Great. More money for two heroin addicts, an acoholic, and a cocaine addict. Oh I forgot. They went to "rehab"....so they don't do that stuff anymore. I love it when they people actually believe that these guys are sober. Look at the no name dude on the right. He's so out of it. Tommy Lee has always been skinny from coke and other drug use.... The singer is an alcoholic and drug user....Nikki Sixx I'm sure Isn't Sober....no one addicted to Heroin Every recovers. They always relapse. It's too powerful of a drug to kick.

6. Hey Matt,

Is Tommy Lee the one who stuck it to your wife/girlfriend? No wonder your upset. You don't have to badmouth rockers that are at least 4 times the size of your manhood. Blame your parents for your 3 inch peeler.

Leave your child in the schoolyard untill it's full grown.

11.
Spondylosis, is the narrowing and deformation of the spine; The man is a walking medical marvel. He is far overlooked as one of the greatest guitarist of the rock era.

The more famous and infamous are two musicians are both fathers who provide very well for their children.

The face and front of the band has publically lived out his trials and tribulations for all to witness.

When it's all said and done in perhaps another decade, this band will indeed be a little scar on rock n' roll's face.

14. Mick Mars is the only one of these 4 that passes for a decent human being. Mick Mars is the only one of the four who had an excuse for his alcoholism; if you had to deal regularly with the other 3 (Tommy, Nikki and Vince) who are narcissists you'd be a drinker, too. Mick Mars = a solid axeman of the old school variety.

15. Hey Motley Crue! Maybe you should have stayed even half way sober back in the 80's when you actually made any money, and then we wouldn't feel so sad for you 50 year old "has been's"! 20 years later you're gonna sue someone for your own bad judgement and mistakes? I'm just sayin'!
