Red, White & Crüe is a 2-CD career-spanning greatest hits compilation by Mötley Crüe, released February 1, 2005. Around the time of release, the band had just announced a reunion tour with drummer Tommy Lee, who had originally exited in 1999 due to creative differences and personal strife with lead singer Vince Neil. Bassist Nikki Sixx commented on the band's reunion, comparing it to "seeing Mike Tyson fight. He probably won’t bite anyone’s ear off — but you’re there in case he does."[1]
According to Neil, the beginning of the band's reunion was "kinda strained. I hadn’t talked to Tommy Lee in years. Everyone was really guarded and had their managers there. It was very strange. Mick was home, I guess. Either there or the hospital."[1]
Red, White & Crüe features three new tracks, among them the first single "If I Die Tomorrow", which was cowritten by pop punk band Simple Plan. However, Tommy Lee didn't play on the cover of the Rolling Stones' "Street Fighting Man"; drumming duties were handled by Josh Freese of the the Vandals.
Red, White & Crüe went platinum, thanks to the publicity generated over the reunion tour.
A video was made for "Sick Love Song," another new track off the album. Though the video, mostly composed of produced concert clips, got only scarce airplay, the song found its way onto some rock-orientated radio stations.
A special edition that includes a "Greatest Video Hits" DVD compilation was also made.
