NIKKI SIXX Opens Up About TOMMY LEE's Relationship With PAM ANDERSON, Recent Divorce

In this week's Steppin' Out magazine (web site),MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx sits down with Chaunce Hayden and tells how he really feels about Tommy Lee and Pam Anderson. The former drug addict-turned-author also shares his thoughts on his ex-wife Donna D'Errico and that little blue pill, Viagra.

On Viagra:

"You know, Viagra is interesting. People seem to use it that don't need it. It should be called The Punisher. It should say on the bottle, 'Take this when you want to punish your lover, in a good way!' I consider it a vacation. You take it once or twice a year and walk around like the cock-of-the-walk afterwards. Meanwhile your girl lays there and just goes, 'Wow!'"

On Tommy Lee and Pam Anderson's relationship:

"I never really paid attention to all that drama. I have to tell you that as the years go by, I'm less and less interested. If people are drama queens, I just cut them out. I'm just done. I don't return their calls or associate with them. It's a complete waste of time. People have a one-strike rule with me. There's no two-strike rule. Just one time you're a fucking asshole and it's delete-and-block. I don't have time for it. I don't have time to deal with people's bullshit."

Are women the kiss of death for a band?

"Musicians tend to pick the type of women who can be bad for them. And if you're in a band and she's bad for you, then she's bad for your family, your extended family, your fans, friends and band. If you're in a poisonous relationship, it poisons the well in general, and everyone is drinking from the same well. You really need to think hard and fast before you let a person poison that well. You have to be very careful. When you're younger you're not careful. All you think of is, 'Oh my God, she's so fucking hot! She's perfect! I'll take it.' I bought a Ferrari once just like that. I went in and saw a red Ferrari and said, 'I'll take it!' But the fucking cost of the upkeep on a car that cost $250,000 is $2,500 per tune-up! A flat tire is $500 just to get the rim fixed. Sometimes in life you have to say, 'I don't want anymore Ferraris. I just want a nice, dependable car.' I just can't stand the drama anymore."

How did you feel about Vince Neil and Tommy Lee signing on to do reality TV shows?

"I don't want to really comment on their choices. People make their own decisions, whether I agree with it or disagree with it. I don't really think it's important for fans to read about how I feel. A better question for me is, 'Nikki, would you do a reality show?' The answer? No. Would I do a Geico commercial like Little Richard? No. It's just not my way."

On his divorce from Donna D'Errico:

"The bottom line is that it didn't work out for whatever reasons. Her fault, my fault, it doesn't really matter. One thing I will tell you is that I'm 48 years old. I don't plan on meeting someone and not having it work out again. This time around I'll take the bimbo list and burn it. Let's take the strippers and get rid of that list too. I'll never make those mistakes again."
