MÖTLEY CRÜE's Tommy Lee has confirmed to Billboard.com that he has finished laying down the drums for "All Bad Things Must End", a brand new CRÜE track the band hopes to release to coincide with its "The Final Tour", which kicks off July 2 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. "We're just mixing (the song) and getting it together," Lee said. "It's pretty heavy, but it's really melodic. It's definitely about this time right now with the band and what the feeling is and kind of all that wrapped into a song. I hate to say it's like a goodbye, but it definitely references our time here."According to Lee, fans can also expect to see a new CRÜE greatest-hits album, with the possibility of more new material "still an open conversation, so who knows. Maybe there's some more music for us down there," he said."All Bad Things Must End" is being helmed by producer James Michael, who sings for MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx's SIXX: A.M. project. Speaking to Artisan News at this year's Revolver Golden Gods event at Club Nokia in Los Angeles, Michael said about the track: "As we know, the CRÜE is getting ready to hang it up. And we discussed for a while doing a final song. And that's a tall order. There was a lot of pressure on us to make sure that we did it right and that we celebrated everything that they were known for. So I think we've done it. And it's an outstanding song. I think it's gonna be an absolutely amazing way to go out swinging."Sixx in January said that that it's unlikely that the band will release another full-length album of new material and will instead make select tracks available via special projects in order to maximize their impact."My take on it right now and the way that things work is very much reverted back to the '60s where people buy singles," Mars told Trunk. "I don't want an album full of fillers. And that's why I said I would release [a solo] EP or singles." Sixx told the Rapid City, South Dakota radio station 95.1 KSKY: "We have music written, [but] it's not put together yet." He added: "It's hard, to be honest with you, to spend six [or] nine months to write eleven songs — all those lyrics… everything… the vocals, the guitars, the bass, the sonics, the mixing, the mastering, the artwork… You put it out and nothing [happens], because now people cherry-pick songs. So we go, 'Why don't we write songs and find vehicles to get one, two or four songs to ten million people rather than eleven songs to a hundred thousand people. That's how we're thinking. I don't know if it's right or wrong, but that's how we're thinking."MÖTLEY CRÜE in 2012 released a brand new song called "Sex" to coincide with the launch of the band's North American co-headlining tour with KISS. Written when the group was together during their residency in Las Vegas in February 2012, it was the first studio track from the CRÜE since the June 2008 release of "Saints Of Los Angeles".
