MÖTLEY CRÜE's SIXX Slams The 'Little Men' On The Internet

March 24, 2006

MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx has posted the following message in his online diary:

"Often I cant believe how stupid the Internet can actually be. It's the 'Wizard of Oz' syndrome, the little man behind the curtain making a big noise only to be exposed as a fearful non-achiever. Finding all these idiots who have nothing more to do than tear down other people, it's a very, very sad state. When you put in any artist, actor, athlete's name into Google just to see millions of people going on about how they are (fill in the insults here). It makes me lose faith in people to see the focus being shifted to other people's dreams and accomplishments and not on themselves. Maybe there's always been this alternative life of arsonists, but they're not just arsonists, they're arsonists who come back as firemen when the idol in question isn't torn down, dismembered or burnt at the cross but actually achieves what the non achiever cannot. Oh, I'm not speaking of me or my dreams, I have skin thick as steel, it's others that I see take the bullets from website snipers that I wonder about. There is a drummer in a band that a producer I worked with once told me surfed the web so often and would actually change what his band was doing based on these snipers and arsonists. This is the downside of the Internet for creativity.

"But like a virus, I do agree that they spread our names around many many continents, but sometimes I wonder if we're not spreading our legs and letting their infected negativity in."

"What's your thoughts?"
