Nikki Sixx | Green Room Tales

[@sunshinencoastlines]

He has the greatest smile. Proud to say that I slept on the sidewalk many times in the 80s to be front row at their shows. Ahhhhh, that was one of the joys of being an 70s child. ❤️

When I started this band all we needed was a laugh years gone bye and I said we are still kicking ass when we hit the stage we are in a rage adrenaline rush running through my veins and we are still kicking ass so kick start my heart hope it never stops

Great 👍🏼 interview from Nikki Sixx, I got the chance to see Motley Crüe back in 2000, Megadeth was opening for them and that was my first hard rock 🎸 concert.

[@emmanuelrogercosta9671]

this looks and sounds from the early 2000's. He was really modern in the way he saw things back then. Predicting the death of the music industry wasn't so hard, but the fact they let people pick the songs on the tour setlist online is something very new back then. Metallica only did that on their last tour, amazing Sixx!

[@glenzee8437]

Judging by what he said at the end of the interview about the live album coming out (Entertainment or Death) and a new studio album being recorded (New Tattoo), it was in late 1999.

[@monmixer]

The lanbels are still a live and signing acts. Promotrs are signing acts also. right Mr. Live Nation clubs and theatres. BTW you spelled theatre wrong.

smart getting your masters back and putting them out on your own label. Nikki is no dummy

[@Drummer_Jeff83]

I wish I knew how they pull that one off. Legally they're not allowed to discuss it in public but apparently getting your Masters back from a record label is almost unheard of

[@susanbuss7275]

@@Drummer_Jeff83 crazy

[@hatecopter]

@@Drummer_Jeff83 my guess is their record label (Elektra) owed them a significant amount of money from the deal they signed post Dr. Feelgood so around 1991. Elektra thought they would get more albums of the success of their 80s catalogue but instead their two albums from the 90s massively underperformed expectations. So instead of keeping this band who wasn't selling up to expectations around and financing them they struck a deal giving Motley the rights to the masters and waiving whatever money was still owed on Elektras part. Now this is all just speculation and I could be 100% wrong.

[@SavageLandMedia]

Nikki remembers stories differently as the years go on, lol. I watched a recent interview where he recounted the Kickstart story and said that their manager (didn't specify which one) came over to his apartment one afternoon, saw the napkin with the lyrics on it, said: "What's that?" And when Nikki played it for him on an acoustic guitar, the manager said, "You HAVE to bring it to the band. It's a great idea!" Nikki said, "Nah, it's not right for Motley." He didn't think that it was suitable for Motley at the time, and so on, but he presented the idea, and the rest was history.

[@texasbornrefinerymade753]

yes ive heard that version of the story, and with all the drugs he's done in the past it wouldn't surprise me if he does that from time to time.

[@SavageLandMedia]

@@texasbornrefinerymade753 He's been doing that for years. I don't hold it against him because he may not be doing it on purpose. I just think it's funny when he does it.

Nikki was Sikki here. It was around this time that he got back into drugs.

[@bretth.4004]

Matt Smith lol just read the book

[@Drummer_Jeff83]

@Joey Punk I thought the same thing until I recently read the heroin diaries for the first time. He relapsed multiple times in the 90s and after. I already had an affair with samantha Maloney when she was their drummer. lol.

[@Drummer_Jeff83]

@Joey Punk I actually didn't care for sixx a.m. either until I read that book. Their songs make a lot more sense now since it's basically a soundtrack to the book. On the contrary, Motley had two other drummers besides tommy. Tommy left the band in 1999 and they got Randy Castillo from Ozzy's band. He got cancer and had to leave the tour so then they got Samantha Maloney to do the tour. She used to be in the band, Hole. And as far as what he relapsed on, I'm not 100% sure. I was under the impression he meant smack but also in the book, he says how happy he was he never tried heroin again after he got clean

[@Drummer_Jeff83]

@Joey Punk no problem man. Yeah I have always been a huge fan of the band since I was like eight years old or something like that. I actually just read the heroin Diaries last week for the first time so a lot of the information is still fresh in my mind from that.

[@Drummer_Jeff83]

Turns out nikki relapsed on cocaine during the Decade of Decadence period... then again during the john corabi period. He walked out on his wife Donna in the early 2000s and at that point he said he was very much back on heroin.
