NIKKI SIXX Talks About People 'Shoving Negative Energy' On Web Sites Like BLABBERMOUTH.NET

February 3, 2011

Earlier this week, Adam Savage of the Farmington, New Mexico radio station 96.9 The Dog Rocks conducted an interview with MÖTLEY CRÜE/SIXX: A.M. bassist Nikki Sixx and Kerri Kasem, the co-host of Nikki's nationally syndicated radio show "Sixx Sense With Nikki Sixx". You can now listen to the chat using the audio player below.

On the topic of Metal Sludge, the hard rock and heavy metal web site founded in 1998 by Stevie Rachelle, frontman of glam metal band TUFF, Nikki said, "What I love about [the people that post comments on] Metal Sludge is that they hate everything. I think there's, like, 200 14-year-olds and they, like, 'METALLICA sucks,' and then the next guy [goes], 'You suck,' and the [guy after that goes], 'You suck more.' In the old days, you could get on that site, but you can't get on [the Metal Sludge message board] anymore unless you're a member, so I haven't been on there. But the other [site like that] is Blabbermouth. I think it's the same [type of] people [that post on there].

"In the end, the whole Internet thing kills me, because you can use it as a positive thing or you can read into all the negativity. And I think you've gotta put out positive energy, put out cool viral stuff and then just stay out of people's opinions. Because it's so easy for someone to just... Some kid gets his first iPhone, signs up to Twitter and then tweets, 'Nikki Sixx sucks.' And I'm supposed to take that personally. So you just kind of have to move past that and go, 'You know what? I'm trying to do good stuff with this.'

"People have gotta stop shoving negative energy out into the fucking world; it's just really a waste of time. And that's what the '70s music was all about — it was positive music doing positive stuff. There was no way to interact with the bands. And then the '80s came and there was more magazines and we had MTV and then the '90s and now we're here and we have a way to actually communicate with people and we've gotta be careful what we're saying — it can't just be bullshit. We have to actually say something that matters."

Since launching last February, "Sixx Sense With Nikki Sixx" is fast becoming the place to hear it first for guests from all walks of life, including rock royalty, the first man on the moon, authors, actors and everyone in between. Dave Grohl, Jared Leto, Lemmy Kilmister, Perez Hilton, Kat Von D, "CSI" creator Anthony Zuiker, "Four Agreements" author Don Miguel Ruiz, Dog The Bounty Hunter and others have joined Sixx and his co-host Kerri Kasem for their special brand of conversation. In addition, they've world-premiered albums and songs for artists and bands like BUCKCHERRY, DROWNING POOL and Slash and hosted the announcement for last summer's Ozzfest.
