Knock 'Em Dead Kid was never filler, still one of my favourite Crue songs!!!

Nice interview bud! 🔥🤘🏻

[@MitchellReese-nc8oj]

I used to take out Datsun 510 wagon Green in the farm fields in Fremont, Ca. Blasting the crappy stock radio. OMG flashback.... Thank you that Nikki

[@rayfabris2512]

Hey I grew up in Freemont I live by the old GM plant in the Irvington district I would've gone to Irvington high but like 50% of the couples in the 70s my parents got a divorce and I moved to Milpitas but I went to Harvey Green elementary and Reynolds before it was torn down then Robertson Jr high I live in the Sacramento area now so let me know where you grew up btw I'm 58 and remember a few names anyway but it was a cool city to grow up in I did play little league baseball in the FBI league also I could not wait to get my stock radio out of my 72 pinto the stereo I put in it was worth more than my car lol but I was ROCKIN and ended up at parties around Freemont when I got older and I shouldn't forget lake Elisabeth or lake no fish I never caught shit at that lake idt anyone else did either 😅

As Is every Human

[@hyperspeed_心猿]

Nikki's not wrong that Motley came out different at the time. They took melodic rock and made it with a punk mentality and the two styles created something that wasn't totally either camp. People forget how all the hair bands in the 80's tried to copy Crue, most failing or being them without the attitude. Music snobs knock them these days for not being overly accomplished technical players like being the greatest bassist in the world, but they never tried to be, never claimed to be. They were just a big party. Everybody's entitled to their own opinion, but I still like them. Some people are stuck in the past, but I appreciate getting new music. These guys are rich. They never need to play again financially. So any music or playing these days is for the pure love of it. Don't like them? There are thousands of other bands to listen to. Go ahead. But me, I like them and I like the new song. It's a catchy middle finger at the critics of a song, which doesn't get more Crue than that!

[@arlettasloan6453]

One of the thing that I love about Motley Crue is that it's kind of like what happens with every new Doctor, except its with their albums. "No... why .. it's not the same .. make it go away ... no ... no .. I won't listen ... I won't .. wait.. I think I like it." Until you get worn down and just accept the fact that whether you like it from the first note or not, you are goingto keep liking itdown through the ages so you may as well just jump in and stop having expectations.

Great interview

[@Myrrhkuri]

John 5 was a perfect replacement for Motley Crue due who past work ethic with many different bands..He learns the songs the way they are on the studio albums, and the way they play them live, when he auditioned in the past hed ask them which way they want to play them. He is somebody thet would do Mick justice and play the songs the way they were ment to be played and how fans expect them to sound.

[@RickyCousins-d5k]

Dogs of war Rocks !! Love to the crue I need a Six fix Dawn

[@thedude4672]

Oh, please. Mick is irreplaceable and Crue died when they fired Mick

[@Myrrhkuri]

@@thedude4672 Mick and Motley Crue was the band that made me want to be a musician. As a guitar player tho as good as people think Mick is, in technical ability John 5 is one of the best shredders and able to play all genres of music...when he has worked with other bands, he learns the songs as they are studio and live and has worked with many other people...As for firing that is not how it started, Mick retired from touring, and him and John talked, John said Mick was the first person that messaged him after he was in. then things started with Mick wanting 25% of the money from touring which he was no longer doing..then things got heated into all the rest of the mess.

[@SmellaAcapella]

[@Lodgerizer]

I've heard more bootleg concerts from start to finish of the Crüe than almost anyone, I'd presume. Nikki brings up "Danger", one of my favorite Crüe-songs ever, it's a freakin' mystery why that one hasn't been played live. Crüe should do a deep dive tour if they want to stay relevant in my opinion. Scratch all the hits, and replace them with songs that fans can vote on, Metallica-style. 😉 Also, Nikki made me think of Nathan from South Park in this interview, looking everywhere but in the camera... 😃
