    My biggest gripe with Nikki is that he won't release more of the pro shot concert video from the God knows how many tours. Each tour is different and each concert within the same tour is different from another. Motley Crue have so much excellent live video that people either want to see to relive a concert they went to or see a concert they never went to for whatever reasons. It would be nice too if his Schecter model bass would come with the "Opti Grab" like his does and his Gibson Thunderbird bass had.

      Agreed, it wasn’t simply Carl Thomas Keifer’s voice alone that set them apart from many of their contemporaries, it was also his blue-inspired riffage, and song-writing chops. To me none of the other bands had such a heavy blues influence, sure you had the funk come in later with Bulletboys and I suppose a little more blues with Junkyard… but for a couple a years you were hard pressed to find a more bluesy outfit, Great White are a close second to Cinderella in terms of sound… to me, at least….

(over coming a poor childhood usually) it's not exclusively the person's talent level that makes them a success.. it's not giving up that the separates most people from the very successful ..

    Nikki was never broke. Even after the 94 tour debacle with Corabi, he had millions. He was always good with his money unlike Mars and Neil. Tracii was broke , flat broke when he joined Brides. Leaving LA Guns was a mistake. He could have made a living like Phil did . The only reason he is touring with LAG is he needs the cash. Phil should never have taken him back. Stacey and Michael should still be in LAG.

    Wow so basically Tracii did to Nikki what he accuses Steve Riley of doing to him. Ripping him off! Best thing for Tracii to do is keep his mouth shut! It sounds to me like his going to that bitter place again. Look out Phil he may take his guitar and go play by himself again!
    I think Tracii is a really underrated player and great but today you can find 700 guitarists on youtube and Instagram that are at his level! I'll tell ya, today there is one band that has been kicking the shit out of all those 80s bands and that's Poison! I was always of the thought they were a whimpy 80s rip off band but here's the thing. Today they are the most appreciative and making the most of the Stadium Tour slot that their blowing all of them off the stage! C.C. has been unbelievable and they come out every night except in Nashville and work their asses off for the hour they get! Bobby Dall has more energy than Sixx. Ricky is playing just as good as Tommy. I love Mick he's just a down to Earth guy. C.C. is probably playing better but Mick gives his all! Of course there's no comparison between Vince and Bret. I'm not knocking Motley I'm just being honest. Here's the thing NIKKI IS PLAYING STADIUMS AND TRACII IS PLAYING CLUBS AND I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT EATS TRACII UP! Hey Tracii maybe if you paid Nikki what you owed him you may have had a shot at the Joan Jett slot.......maybe.

He only got pissed at Corabi when John took shit out of the band and into the press. I also know John a great dude but even he knows he made a mistake there. I met and conversed with Nikki on many occasions also. Great dude even when he was whacked. First time I met Nikki was in 87. First time I met Tracii was 89. I met Phil and Steve also and I can tell you they are the best two personalities that I met. Corabi was the best 4hrs I ever spent with a rockstar next to Mick Mars the most down to Earth guys you could meet in their positions! Add Phil to that Phil Lewis is a great guy. Btw Steve Riley also explained what happened with LA Guns. Steve took advantage of Tracii and to me it sounds like Tracii took advantge of Nikki or tried too. Tracii gave his version of events as did Steve. Tracii didn't get pissed at Steve for nothing and my guess is Nikki didn't get pissed at Tracii for nothing!

      He never could play tho. The guy knows three notes and his knowledge of the instrument and playing equals to me taking bass playing classes for a month or two at best. He was the songwriter and acted as a businessman and spokesperson for the band. He was the looks and stage presence. People bought it at the time but looking back now when on stage the dude is shuffling his bass like an electric guitar and makes this kindergarten like facial expressions and movements. Tommy and Mick are the only genuine musicians in the band who at one point in their lives atleast were truly dedicated to their craft and Vince despite being an actual human turd was decent as a singer, did what it was asked from him and cant deny did pretty well for a guy that never took singing lessons in his life.

      Oh boy you are so innocent. Sixx played bass on exactly two of Motley Crue songs in their entire career and it was lightwork three note 10 second stuff. The rest of the stuff was played by standins. They would bring a pro to compensate for lack of Nikki. Nikki's knowledge is very limited. 2 months of bass playing classes at best is Nikki's level. Nikki was never the musical guy in the group. Stage presence, business and song writting was the Nikki role in the band. He was kinda like a manager for the band aswell. He was never the player nor he could play. Ffs the man started taking bass lessons in his 50s. The thing about him tho is that he doesnt even try to deny it. Several interviews in the 80s he said that apparently he played on the songs but it got shed off and his stuff was replaced by other dudes playing without him knowing. Ofcourse he knew since he cant play but he had to make up the story. But the fact he admits it is astounding. Even during the interviews when they ask him about bass he always shifts the subject to his songwriting lol. Do I think hes a fraud? Maybe it depends on your standpoint. Do I think band would have made it without him? No! Like him or not he was the driving force behind it.
