Not So Fast Bret Michaels, Nikki Sixx Denies Apology

Open Up And Insert Foot In Mouth

Last week, Poison frontman Bret Michaels claimed that Nikki Sixx apologized to him personally for the derogatory comments his Motley Crue band mates made towards their new tour mates. Thus, we figured that Motley Crue and Poison’s upcoming tour would now be drama free. Well not so fast, for Sixx now claims that he has made no such apology.

In response to Michael’s comments in an interview with The Arizona Republic, the Motley Crue bassist said the following via Twitter:

“Just to clarify, Bret Michaels recently said I apologized to him about derogatory comments that Motley made about Poison in the past and that isn’t what i said. What I did say was ‘I personally never had anything against you guys as a people but Motley just sorta though you sucked as band but lets give the fans what they want and go out and have a good time.’”

Sixx had been straight forward in recent interviews that Crue are touring with Poison despite previous hesitations because the fans wanted it. But this might be the most straightforward response Sixx has given in regards to the tour (that’s if you believe that he never apologized). Granted, he’s had a lot worst to say about his new tour mates, hence the suspense and excitement surrounding this tour. But it certainly doesn’t maintain the new peace created between the two 80’s hair metal bands. Plus, it highlights how some members of Crue (cough, Sixx, cough) truly feel about Poison’s music.

This tweet certainly won’t put the Summer tour in jeopardy. However, it looks like the Motley Crue/Poison drama may still be alive after all. Maybe Vince Neil, Tommy Lee, and C.C. DeVille will help add more fuel to the fire (those three are good at enhancing shit shows). We’ll keep you posted if more develops.

    Seriously?

    I am a huge Motley fan as well as a huge Poison fan. Neither are for everyone….and both have their niche for their respective fans.

    Both know that having the other on the bill will draw each others fans and increase revenue for both bands…which is the ultimate goal. It’s not a secret to us, the fans. So come on guys, just play and let the finger pointing be at the dollars coming in and not at each other.

    You know, I kept an open mind when hearing Motley Crue at Ozzfest last year. Frankly, their band is nothing but a bunch of screwed up has beens playing ‘the favorites’ of their idolizing fans really badly. The only redeeming member was the singer – the rest of the band were horrible. If I were them I’d not be pointing at Poison or any other band and making comparisons.

    My instinct? Poison is playing hot and they make Motley’s Vegas show for the ungracefully aged male $luT look as trashy and sad as it is. Those guys have LONG past cashed in on their bad boy images. They are now ugly old men in makeup clinging with extreme rigormortis to whatever they thought they had in the past.
