Nikki Sixx says they weren't best friends.
Mötley Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx said he hasn't seen his bandmates Mick Mars, Tommy Lee, and Vince Neil since the group's last show almost two years ago, concluding "The Final Tour."
Shortly before the final show, the four band members signed a contract prohibiting any of them from performing under the name "Mötley Crüe".
When asked if they still see each other, to play together or just to hang out, Sixx replied: “No. We weren’t the best of friends. We were going in different directions, and for me, that’s fine. I tried to get in touch a few times. I invited Mick to participate in the ‘My Favorite Riff’ program that I’ve been doing on my YouTube channel ‘Sixx Sense’ where I play with different musicians, but he was in Nashville, so he couldn’t go. And I haven’t really heard anything from the other guys .
Although the members of Mötley Crüe agreed never to revive the band, Nikki Sixx keeps open the possibility of reconnecting with his bandmates in an eventual induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The bassist still hopes to rekindle his friendship with his bandmates: “Time heals all wounds. I don’t even know exactly what those wounds are. We made millions and millions and millions of dollars, picked up thousands of girls, and trashed a million hotel rooms. Books and movies have been made about us. I can’t see the bad part. But who am I to know? ”
Last year, Mötley Crüe released "The End," a film featuring the band's final live performances.
