Band to Manager: We've Been Motley Scrued

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.

16. Post #17: Very good point. When your too busy drinking, druging , partying and letting someone else handle your business and finances, this kinda sh!t happens.

isn't that why you hire people in the first place,so you can party,drink,drug,chase anything in a skirt,get in car accidents that kill people,{well vince did} and rock the crap out of a concert full of people.they hire people so they don't have to be bothered with it,too bad for them,they should have at least brought in a auditor once or twice a year to watch the people who watch their money.they rock!!!

19. 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.

You're a world-class, slimeball, douchebag! The guy on the right is Mick Mars and he has Spondylosis, a horrible arthritic condition that cripples. Don't you feel like such a big man for spouting off without knowing what you're talking about. I bet you make fun of babies with birth defects too! Mick was near death when the band reunited; luckily he's strong enough to tour again this summer.

21. Shame on you Matt, the "no name on the right" is Mick Mars, a great guitarist with a debilitating disease. For a band that has been around since 1981, and are still relevant today, that is a major accomplishment. Crue rocks!!!!!

22. I love Motley Crue...front row centre in T.O. for Cruefest...can't wait!!! Nikki Sixx is hot...I hope Vince doesn't block my view.

Hey Vince: What have you been up to over the past 20 years (besides eating)? haha.

Posted at 11:05AM on Jun 12th 2008 by haha suckers...

23. Yeah, can't argue that this is the best rock band of the 80's and can still rock out a show!

24. Poster #17: I'm not knocking these guys what so ever. I'm just saying when it comes to money, you just can't trust people. Have a good time, but check out your finances for gosh sakes. Like every friggin month. By the way, Auditors can be fooled also, it happens all the time...................hell look at ENRON.................who'd they use? Price Water House..........geesh.

25. Motley Crue kicks ass! Last time i saw them was in Florida 2 years ago...Man i loved them when i was younger. "Too Fast for Love" was it...

26. Yeah you're right.....I'm sorry guys. I was wrong. Mick Mars is not a cokehead..... (not publicly)...just addicted to pain killers from his disease. But they did rock the house back in the 80's.....

29. I want all you haters to STFU ! You don't know what the heck you are talking about anyway. This is THE BADDEST ROCK n ROLL BAND EVER. You retards don't know ANYTHING do YOU? MOTLEY CRUE WAS ONE OF THE FIRST BANDS TO (IF NOT THE FIRST) OWN THEIR MASTER RECORDINGS....SMART MOVE..no.1. The premier band out of Los Angeles in the early 80's DEFINING THE LA glam sound with punk metal twist...no.2 A distinctive style on and off the stage with their sound, the way they looked and dressed...No. 3 NIKKI SIXX was dressed for MTV BEFORE there was an MTV. HE IS AN Architect of ROCK n ROLL. These guys paved the way for many many bands out there today for for that we owe these guys a huge debt of gratitude. Give them the respect they deserve! Nikki Sixx will be 50 years old this year and he is the HOTTEST DUDE around, And to the bozo that called Vince a Fat PIG - shut up retard. This guy is simply gorgeous and certainly not fat. Mick Mars has a Joint disease that was diagnosed when he was 17 and has suffered severely all his life and it hurts worse than arthritis. Tommy is just Tommy, extremely adorable and quite the charmer. SO SHUT THE HELL UP about these guys. MOTLEY CRUE = legendary rock band = ROCK GODS. Period. .
