Nikki Sixx recently voiced his frustration on social media about MÖTLEY CRÜE fans who are siding with Mick Mars in the band’s ongoing feud with the guitarist.
In his initial post, the bassist expressed his newfound fascination with women’s rugby, stating: “Well, I found a new addiction. Woman’s rugby. These girls are animals. I’m on hour 3 watching just in case I miss the concert tomorrow. This is my second favorite sport behind real American football….”
The conversation took a turn when the fan expressed their disagreement with Mars and commented, “You did Mick wrong,” to which Sixx responded: “If you’ve heard of evil ways, you are being forced fed snake oil. Sad to see our fans directly getting lied to. When you know the truth, you will apologize to all of us. Keep drinking the poisonous Kool-aid.”
Another band member, Vince Neil, was subjected to criticism once again by the same fan.
“You should have kicked out Vince instead; he ruined the MC show I saw with his bad voice and unhealthy appearance, huffing and puffing on the mic,” the fan wrote. “The bottom line is that without Mick, your band is wack.”
As previously reported, Mick Mars is currently suing CRÜE alleging that the band reduced his share of earnings from 25 percent to a mere 5 percent after revealing his decision to withdraw from touring. Additionally, he states that the group’s attorneys made him feel as if he should appreciate this minimal portion, as they believed they had no obligation to provide him with anything. Mick also asserts that a complete band gathering took place where they chose to “unilaterally” exclude him from MÖTLEY CRÜE.
Mick consistently alleged that bassist Nikki Sixx was “gaslighting” him by suggesting his guitar abilities were declining, even though Sixx didn’t “play a single note on bass” throughout a recent tour, as stated by the guitarist. Mick asserts that all of Nikki‘s segments were pre-recorded.
In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Mars revealed that the band had not really talked since the premiere of The Dirt movie in 2019.
“Nobody spoke to me in 2022 [during CRÜE‘s ‘The Stadium Tour’ with DEF LEPPARD]. A lot of the time felt like I was just playing by myself. You know how you can be in a crowd of people and still feel alone? That’s how I felt that whole tour. I felt used, sad, and inferior. When we played the last show [in Las Vegas on September 9, 2022] I felt relieved. A lot of the pressure was gone. But I was very emotionally wounded. They weren’t just shallow wounds. They were deep ones; the kind you can’t get over.”
Furthermore, Mars expressed his desire to avoid any future communication with his bandmates.
“I think all of us would be okay with that,” he said. “And I don’t just mean me with them. I mean them with each other. I don’t plan on having a funeral. If I did, I think maybe they’d show up for that just out of courtesy. But for me, there’s no funeral. There’s no nothing.”
