MÖTLEY CRÜE Bassist Is 'Excited' To Play Singapore For First Time

October 14, 2008

MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx recently spoke to The Electric New Paper about the band's first-ever concert in Southeast Asia after 27 years together.

Sixx said: 'I'm so excited... I'm dying to play for the fans there. We never came to Southeast Asia because we weren't paid enough to break even. We don't care about making money, we just don't want to be losing money. So we've scaled things back... but it's still the same raw, dirty rock 'n' roll — no holds barred."

And unlike guitarist Mick Mars, who thought Singapore is in China, Sixx assured The Electric New Paper that he has done his homework.

"Thank God for the Internet!" he said. "Every time we go to new cities or countries, I read about them online because I want to know more about the people I'm about to meet. I was surprised to hear the crowds there are crazy, so we're going to bring our A-game."

Though all of them have survived their colorful past filled with long addictions and brushes with the law, it doesn't mean they've mellowed to the point of blandness.

Sixx said: 'That was a time when we didn't think about survival. But now that I'm on the other side, I look back and go 'wow.' I mean, we're still crazy. We still have very different personality disorders that come together to make a great rock band."
