Mötley Crüe have announced a three-song EP titled Cancelled. In advance of its October 4th release, the legendary rock act has unveiled a cover of the Beastie Boys classic “Fight for Your Right.”
“Fight for Your Right” joins the yet-to-be-released title track and the band’s previously unveiled single “Dogs of War” on the Cancelled EP. The Crüe have been covering the Beastie Boys hit at their shows over the past couple years.
In a statement, Mötley Crüe hinted at more music to come: “It was really great getting in the studio and working on some tracks together. What started out as a couple demo ideas turned into this EP produced by Bob Rock. We look forward to getting back into the studio again soon and writing more new music, as well.”
“Dogs of War” and “Fight for Your Right” are the first songs released with new guitarist John 5 in the band’s lineup. The former Rob Zombie axeman’s playing is heard prominently on the Beastie Boys cover.
Mötley Crüe have a handful of one-off gigs and festival dates remaining on their 2024 schedule, including appearances at the Louder Than Life and Aftershock festivals. Tickets for their upcoming shows are available here.
