MY MOTLEY CRUE FANDOM-
Started way back when I got "Too Fast For Love" as a Christmas gift - I was hooked!
Over the years I have been to countless Motley Crue shows, hosted events with the band, (and for the record, I have always loved working with them) spoken to them during solo careers, sidebands, and more.
So when I was told that the band had signed a new deal to release new music with Big Machine Records and heard the first tune they would be releasing "Dogs Of War", I was excited to "Reconnect" with Vince and Nikki for a 2024 Motley Crue update.
What Else Is Happening With Motley?
The bands new single "Dogs Of War" was just released with a MONSTER video directed by Nick DenBoer, that captures modern-day MOTLEY. A few of the things the band discusses.....

Top Rock Songs With A Name In The Title
There are some amazing rock songs. But I wanted to take a look at the top Rock songs with a name in the title. From Jessica to Anastasia there are a number of killer rock songs that bring the musicality and showcase some great songwriting skills.
Since I do First Call Last Call each day, I was able to take a look at some of the results of my Question OF The Day to see the top songs with names in the title. First Call Last Call is a lot of fun. It happens at 5 pm and is a themed block of music based on the listener’s responses to the Question which I post to the DHA Facebook page at around 4.
I got a ton of responses yesterday and had a lot of fun going through them. It’s funny because sometimes I see a lot of answers I was expecting, but with a question like this, since there are so many songs, I also find myself seeing comments of tunes I either forgot about or just blanked on!
Let me also put his out there – I don’t think a song with someone’s name in the title is actually going to make the tune better. However, I will say that sometimes a name can add intrigue to who the song is about. Or was it just a random name the lyricist came up with? When it’s about someone, you wonder if was it a past lover, an old friend, or just someone the band knows and they thought it’d be cool to mention that person's name.
Whatever the reason, it does seem like there are a lot of songs that not only have a name in the title but are also actually good-quality tunes!
Let’s take a look at the top rock songs with a name in the title!
JESSICA - ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND
Such an awesome southern rocker. So well done. It's instrumental yet so entertaining!!!
MY MICHELLE - GUNS N' ROSES
Talk about an amazing debut album from a band. Even the deeper cuts are excellent. Like this one!!
JANIE'S GOT A GUN - AEROSMITH
Tells such an interesting and heartbreaking story. Plus, it somehow manages to still be a fun rockin tune!
JAMIE'S CRYING - VAN HALEN
It's classic Van Halen. Sounds so good with the awesome guitar riff. Plus, give it up for those backup vocals!!!
LOLA MONTEZ - VOLBEAT
They know how to get heavy. But, they also know how to bring the melody. This tune is a toned down metal track with a great hook!
