Mötley Crüe Arrives to Their L.A. Show by Diving Out the Back of a Garbage Truck

No one makes an entrance quite like Mötley Crüe.

The rock band is currently in the midst of a three-date Höllywood Takeöver tour of small Los Angeles venues that kicked off Oct. 7 at The Troubadour — and members Tommy Lee, Vince Neil, Nikki Sixx and John 5 rolled up to the venue in a garbage truck.

In a video shared by the “Girls, Girls, Girls” group to YouTube, a garbage truck pulls up to The Troubadour and parks. A bunch of garbage bags, a mattress and more then fall out of the back, and Lee, 62, dives out of the truck into the pile, followed by the other members, as the crowd cheers.

Mic’d up and ready for the show, Mötley Crüe then walks through a crowd of fans outside, before entering the venue and walking to the stage to perform.

As part of the Höllywood Takeöver tour, the band will perform Oct. 9 at The Roxy and Oct. 11 at the Whiskey a Go Go.

The shows are in support of Mötley Crüe’s latest EP, Cancelled, which dropped Oct. 4 and features three tracks: “Cancelled,” “Dogs of War” and a cover of the Beastie Boys’ “Fight for Your Right.”

Earlier this month, the rockers announced a Las Vegas residency show set to begin in March 2025 at Dolby Live at Park MGM.

“We want to just relook at our songs and [incorporate] songs that people have been asking us to play for a long time, maybe some B-tracks, some different tracks, and rethink the idea of an intimate evening with the band,” Sixx told PEOPLE of the residency.

He added, “We’re in the early creative process, but we just don’t want to repeat ourselves. We want to do something special for Vegas.”

However, they’ll also play the hits. “We’re still all about being Mötley,” said the bassist, whose favorite songs to play live with his bandmates have changed over the years.

“My love of playing our catalog, which songs connect with me more, actually evolves,” said Sixx. “We are playing ‘On with the Show’ now from the first record, and something feels so fresh and exciting about it. We play it every night. That’s always a good one. ‘Primal Scream’ is another really fun song, but I mean, you can’t go wrong with ‘Girls, Girls, Girls’ or ‘Kickstart My Heart’ or even ‘Home Sweet Home.'”
