MÖTLEY CRÜE‘s Nikki Sixx says that he is the most underrated bass player ever.
After one fan asked him on Twitter to name “the most underrated bass player ever,” Sixx replied simply: “Me”.
Back in 2015, Sixx told For Bass Players Only that he was “drawn to the simplicity” of a bass guitar as a songwriter. “I love basically writing in the simplest form, and then I figure out what that means — ‘Is this a ballad? Is this a pop song? Is this a heavy metal song?’
“A lot of time some of our songs, our heavier songs, I’ll play them acoustically when I’m writing and really make sure that the melody line is really worked out, just acoustically and then get into the rough ‘n’ tumble of it. But a song has to be hummable and memorable at it simplest form, and that’s what bass does for me. I feel like the glue to everything.”
