MÖTLEY CRÜE Will Call It Quits After One More Album, Tour MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist
Nikki Sixx was recently interviewed by Bryget
Chrisfield of www.TheMusic.com.au ; an excerpt from their chat follows:
“I wanna finish our movie [adaptation of Mötley Crüe’s collaborative
autobiography The Dirt: Confessions Of The World’s Most Notorious Rock
Band] and put out a new album,” he revealed before adding they will also
release a soundtrack to the movie and then embark on “a farewell tour.”
Sixx accentuated that this split would see the band done for good, he has no interest in resurrecting its corpse down the track.
“It’s important that when you do a farewell tour that people
understand that when you put a bullet in the back of the horse’s head,
and it goes down, it’s not a plastic bullet it’s a fucking shotgun
blast. You know, blow its fucking brains out, it’s never coming back. It
has to [be that way],” he stressed. “It’s the only way I can look at
myself in the mirror and do a farewell tour. That’s it. So when we take
our final bow, it’s IT. I will cry. I cry thinking about it.”
"So it’s very emotional and I just think it’s important that we
finish what we started and then, you know, it will be whatever it will
be. It could be beautiful. It could be a beautiful ending! When you go
and see a great movie – I’ll leave you with this: when you go and see a
great fucking movie and it ends and you go, ‘Fuck!’ like, you walk out
and you go, ‘That was amazing! That blew my mind!’ It’s not like, ‘That
blew my mind and, um, maybe there’ll be a sequel to it’.”
