Zitat des Tages von Nikki Sixx:
When it comes to putting together a new show, we always push the envelope, and that's part of Motley Crue's legacy.
The industry is a menace to artists.
I'm not bothered by my appearance.
I don't really care what people do.
It's interesting. People go to an animal shelter and pick a dog that's been kicked, beaten, and has lost a leg and an eye, and they'll take that dog home and give it love and support, but they don't do that with people.
For me, to turn people on to new music, on to things that are going on in the world, is important.
I've got five kids and I'm married, Tommy's got two kids and he's been married, Vince just got married again, Mick's out of a relationship, Tommy's single as well. We've done a lot in our life, we've covered a lot of miles.
We were telling everybody we weren't getting back together when we were in the studio actually recording. We wanted to try it on, to see how it would fit.
For me, one of the things that I get excited about is getting in situations I shouldn't be in.
I do believe that I'm an addict on one level or another at all times.
How can you have a rock n' roll circus without a midget?
I don't know if I believe in life after death so much as I believe that there is something out there.
It's about what happens on stage, whether we can deliver it in a hungry way that is who we are in our hearts.
We each have our own tour bus. We've never done that before.
Politicians really worry about being politically correct.
We have a growing new fan base, and we wanted to get out now, and play now, and the timing was right.
We did something this year that was not based on animosity.
There's a sound with Motley Crue, and it comes with Vince's voice, which is such an important part of the show, and Mick's guitar. And the way Tommy and me play together is an important part of it.
I don't want to jump through hoops for people.
Motley Crue, collectively and individually, have done things on our own terms.
It's getting harder and harder to feel inspired to spend six months on a record.
It's just kind of known in the music industry that a farewell tour means 'for now.'
Each guy has his own space. We all end up in one of the other guy's rooms all the time. We always end up together, as far as people getting along.
Do I think anything I ever do will be as big as Motley Crue? It's impossible.
Who's the new Ramones, who's the new Guns 'N Roses, who's the new Motley Crue, who's the new Black Sabbath? They're coming, they're on the street, they're 16, 17 years old.
When I go into rehearsal rooms and meet with bands, they're genuinely excited to be with me because of what I've done as an artist, not because of anything else. There's that whole celebrity rock star thing, and artists are into artists who have been able to achieve success their way.
If you're getting different prescriptions from different doctors, there has to be some sort of check and balance in there somewhere.
You have to age gracefully. And that's what I love about Keith Richards. That's what I love about the Rolling Stones. They are aging gracefully. They are falling apart at the seams right before our eyes, and they are doing it gracefully. And that's the most beautiful thing that we can do.
It takes all kinds to make the world go 'round. If everyone was straight-laced and uptight, it would sure be a drag. We need a little tug of war in society.
If you were on the phone with me and Tommy right now, we would probably forget you were there, we'd just be cracking jokes. It's like Beavis and Butthead.
The book is really, really dark, to the point where some people that I've talked to have said that it could be a series. And I'm like, Where? VH1? It's a little hard for VH1.
I've always had an eye for the oddities in life.
Some cats, Iggy Pop, they're going to always have that hunger.
It's really cool to know that there are so many people out there that are attached to me or projects that I've done to really feel that it's a personal relationship.
I understand quarterly billing, how the record companies run.
There's so much history amongst ourselve that reminds us of something, and we start cracking up.
