Mötley Crüe History

Mötley Crüe was formed in January, 1981 (see 1981 in music), in Los Angeles, after bassist Nikki Sixx left the band London, (a band he and Lizzie Grey started in 1979 when he was fired from Blackie Lawless' band Sister). The band London would also be the first band for the later Guns N' Roses guitarists Izzy Stradlin and Slash and for Cinderella drummer Fred Coury.

Sixx inquired with his London bandmate Greg Leon if he knew of any musicians who could join the new band he was intent on forming. Leon recommended the drummer of one of his previous bands, Suite 19; its drummer, Tommy Lee.

According to Mick Mars, it was he who thought up the band's name. While in his former band, White Horse, one of the band members walked in and called the group "a motley looking crew." Mars copied the name down on paper, with the original spelling Mottley Cru. The name was later applied to the band he was to join in 1981 with Nikki Sixx and Tommy Lee.
