Being rather late to the King King trail, David O’Neill is essentially listening to much of their back catalogue as a result of their tour at the beginning of last year (2019).  Following the band reshuffle this is the first offering since the acclaimed ‘Exile and Grace’ (2017).

But, that is exactly the strategy the geniuses behind the PR campaign for the launch of Motley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee’s latest solo album came up with… and, to be honest, and speaking as someone who has worked in PR for the best part of 25 years, if that was their best effort (especially when you consider that the impact of said “stunt” was completely watered down by the inclusion of the car in one of the promo videos) then boss man Monk reckons they’re vastly overpaid and underworked… whether or not this bright spark idea subsequently translated into justifiable bucketloads of album sales remains to be seen…
