Was touring Motley Crue Nikki Sixx selfish for missing funeral?
Not attending Crosby’s funeral not only made Sixx a selfish bastard but it also made him a coward in my opinion, sorry. Even Pearcy showed his mug. Not visiting Crosby, while on his death bed (which was about 11 years after the fact of him cutting him out of his life for the sake his children) makes him a coward and he took the easy way out. Not attending his grandmother’s funeral made him a coward and I have no pitty for coward junkies.
My father is an ex-junkie, an ex dead junkie and a fricken gak head, and I know all to well how they operate and you obviously do not! They are some of the best liars and cunning fuckers on the planet. They go to great lengths to pull the wool over people’s eyes, and usually, when they encounter people like you, it’s very easy for them. I have no pitty for their self-induced misery.
I know the history between him and Robbin. He loved Robbin like a brother and vice versa. He also contributed to Robbin’s addiction. I know for a fact then when the 2 began hanging out, it was strictly coke and booze for Robbin (not that that is any better) and it was Sixx who basically forced him to give Heroin a shot because, I don’t know, he used to force people to get fixed with him and this is a known fact. If you didn’t, he’d turn into a whiny bitch. He also introduced Robbin to base and a slug of other shit. Not saying it was Sixx’s fault for Robbin being stupid and weak enough to give in, but misery loves company and to this day, Sixx will never admit that his preasuring directly contributed to Crosby’s death.
Sixx wasn’t a hardcore addict, no matter what he says, however, Robbin, was indeed a hardcore addict.
Running away from his HIV infected friend was alot easier than having to actually deal with him. I know the story of Robbin supposedly asking to borrow 10 grand from Sixx when Sixx was supposedly sober. I understand why he cut him out of his life, but that was an easy way out. He said he offered him help, too. Okay, I understand, you cannot help the unwilling but at least have the fucking decency to show up to his memorial or visit the guy the you loved like a brother when he was sick! If you believe he was "mourning" because of some watered down, trite words of sympathy, from Sixx, you read in some metal magazine, then you know less about Sixx than you think. What he says or claims is usually bullshit.
He abandoned his stepson (noticed now he says 4 kids instead of 5?) and alienated the rest of the kids from their step brother and their step mother. What would be the reason behind this?? You won’t comment because you know it’s a shitty thing to do! He hit her where it hurts and that’s cowardly. She did him a favor by raising them right. Otherwise, they would’ve had to be entirely raised by ho’ Brandt and suffice it to say, they would not be as well adjusted as they are.
Nikki is NOT Motley Crue. Period. He had 2-3 good albums in him and that’s it! Mars made the music come alive. Mars is what that band is, whether you like it or not. Without Nikki, Mars and Lee would’ve gotten by. Spare me the BS about him coming up with the image because, frankly, all he did was borrow and steal ideas from bands that came before them; they also stole riffs and such from an old band Tommy used to play in. Go take a look at Quiet Riot’s old logo. Go take a look at Steven Tyler’s old look. That pin stripe court jester , Theater of Pain get up he had goin’ on was pretty much snagged directly from Tyler. Go do some research on Johnny Thunders and W.a.s.p. and Blackie Lawless (whom Nikki blatantly ripped off of). The man stole his fucking name from another musician! He wasn’t even original enough to come up with his own stage name! You know, I’m not even going to go on because it’s pointless.
Nikki is Motley. Talk all you want. He’s my least favorite guy in the band but he is the band. Without Tommy, they go on. Without Vince, they go on. Without Mick (who they will be without soon) they go on. Without Nikki, the band is over.
Motley was over in 1990-91, as far as I’m concerened. Sure, they “went on” without said members, but they were **** and the band hardly did well. The band is an Nostalgia act and whatever new crap they put out, with whatever members, will not go well with newer generations. They aren’t Pink Floyd, The Ramones, The Stones, The Doors, or any other band that has proven the test of time and will continue to collect new fans for generations to come.
Ummm…rolliepollieollie, you are dead wrong. They have new legions of teenage fans all the time. Going to the 2005 - 2006 tour you will see a more diverse crowd than probably any other show. Young kids, teenagers, thirty-somethings, middle-agers, etc. Top 5 grossing tour of the year. May I mention that “If I Die Tomorrow” was a huge hit for the band in 2005?
PS…The Ramones are WAY overrated.
It’s probably fair to note that many friends of Robbin didn’t show to his funeral.
“PS…The Ramones are WAY overrated.”
Yea, those darn Ramones, paving the way for the rock acts of today. They got way too much credit for being one of the founding bands of the punk culture and created a new sound in the US that had really only existed in the UK and parts of Europe at the time…
WAY overrated, for sure.
Motley has now turned into a Nostalgia act, nothing more, nothing less. Dead wrong? Okay, so I won’t count the 5-10 kids who discovered their parent’s dusty Shout record, who are now jumping on the “it’s cool to look like an 80s HAIRBAND member for a few years”. I won’t count them! 80s music, clothing, nostalgia pieces, etc. made a huge come-back over the past few years, and it’s safe to say this new “legion of fans” your so affectionately reffering to, are just jumping on the bandwaggon. But, in general, Motley is not as legendary as the bands I mentioned before. Ramones being overrated or not, they’re still more iconic and legendy then Motley will ever be and Annie’s comment proves just why. The Ramones were pioneers and will go down as such, while Motley pretty much borrowed from The Dolls, W.a.s.p. etc, but I already mentioned that.
You can have your opinions, and I’ll have mine. It’s all good and there’s no point in arguing about it.
Ironically, I stll remain a huge fan of Motley Crue and just have to deal with the fact that 1/3 of the band is made up of douchebags and poseurs.
Dude your so stupid do your research. Nikki wrote every song for Motley. They rock harder than any band out there. Stupid stupid boy you are
Motley going on without Nikki - Wrong
Nikki not being original - Wrong
Bashing on him for not going to the funeral - Wrong
Motley not being a legendary rock band - Wrong
ok first of who paved the way for all the rock bands of the 80’s. Who is still around making music, doing tours, and kickin ass still in 2008. MOTLEY CRUE!!! I honestly shouldn’t have to say anymore. Along with the Ramones being over rated i would have to throw in Pink Floyd as well i know they are very popular among people who were alive at that time but who out of todays younger generation does (besides stoners and pot heads) exactly i rest my case. I mean to actualy say that the ramons paved the way for rock acts today. Come on try knowing somthing about music before you comment on it and make a fool of yourself. Listin to Tommy Play or Nikki’s lyrics. Hell listen to the way Vince sings and his stage acts. Look at motleys shows and tours and tell me the rock music today would be the same without that.
P.S Did Pink Floyd or the Ramones or the Stones for that matter every have a drum set that spun 360 up side down or that flew over the audience. or did they ever light themselves on fire with a sword. NO! they stood there and played music with some flashy lights around them like every other lame rock band of the time it was nothing new just luck that they are still played today. Motley was destiny!!!!!
would Robbin have gone to nikki`s funeral?
“If I die Tomorrow” huge hit?
Are ****ing nuts? Beat it, Baby Hit me one More time, Even Girls Girls Girls, Suspicious Minds, Born in the USA…Those are what we here on Earth call hits.
What a tool. I’m the Biggest ZZ Top Fan Ever….However for me to say “Buck Nekkid” was a huge hit because they played it live and had minimal radio play was a hit would be ridiculous.
sadly, i have to agree with caustic. i love the idea of the 80’s nikki sixx, and still like some crue, but after all i’ve read and seen, he seems like a real a-hole.
