LOS ANGELES, Jan. 25 (UPI) -- Motley Crue celebrated its 25th anniversary by receiving the 2,301st star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Tommy Lee, Mick Mars, Vince Neil and Nikki Sixx all attended the late-morning ceremony in front of the Musicians Institute.
Rock's most notorious bad boys have sold more than 40 million albums worldwide and began a reunion tour of the United States in 2005.
Among the bands' many hits were "Smokin' in the Boys Room," "Girls Girls Girls" and "Dr. Feelgood."
The band's tragedies through the years could fill a week's worth of "Behind the Music" episodes, KABC-TV, Los Angeles noted.
Neil was in a 1984 auto collision that killed Hanoi Rocks drummer Razzle Dingley and a decade later, his daughter, Skylar Neil, died from cancer.
Sixx nearly succumbed to a heroin overdose in 1987 and Mars has a degenerative back condition. Drummer Randy Castillo, who took over when Lee left for a solo career in 1999, died of cancer in 2002.
