As much as I’d love to enjoy this track, I just can’t because in all fairness it’s just a bit lacklustre. Some say this is Motley Crue showing signs of maturing – I’d say it’s more that they just can’t pen particularly good tunes anymore. ‘If I Die Tomorrow’ was co-written with Simple Plan and is most certainly not Motley Crue at their best by any stretch of imagination.
Motley Crue have a string of great songs and if you want to see these then your best bet is to look at the band’s ‘Red, White and Crue’ best of CD. If you are a newcomer to the greatness that is Motley Crue then I’d definitely suggest you start with their ‘Red, White and Crue’ CD and not this new single as it by no means does the band any justice whatsoever. They hit all the power chords you’re expecting, its just that the track is drained of any sort of energy of excitement.
I think any Motley Crue fan out there would agree with me that ‘If I Die Tomorrow’ is not a fair representation of the band and there are many greater songs by the band out there. I sense this track will not be remembered for years to come; in fact they’ll be lucky if people still remember it by late next year.
