MÖTLEY CRÜE Bassist Says Re-Recording 'Home Sweet Home' For Charity Was 'Magical'

September 12, 2005

MÖTLEY CRÜE entered CMT studios in Nashville over the weekend to record a new version of "Home Sweet Home", featuring LINKIN PARK frontman Chester Bennington. Proceeds from the recording will be donated to a hurricane relief fund. The following message was posted by CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx in his online diary:

"First and foremost, we, the band, want and need to thank everyone behind the scenes who busted their asses to make yesterday such a magical day. Traveling through the night to get us set up and organized was no easy task, but everybody knew that this wasn't about them… it's about awareness and hopeful funds for the people of New Orleans who have been left destitute. Also Chester and all his people who did any and everything to get to Nashville need to be complimented as well. I think we speak for all the bands and artists who performed when we say thank you to everybody behind the scenes.

"Now is the time we're asking you to react. Please donate. Please pick up the phone or go online and make a difference. Don't wait, our government already did that… Do it now… thank you."
