An interaction between Mötley Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx and some random person on Twitter is making the rounds online and I know what you’re thinking. Metal Sucks, how are you going to use this to make fun of that band yet again? The answer is we’re not. Because it was a reasonable response and a lesson in standing up for your friends. Even when your friend’s performances in recent years have been… rough, to say the least…

This past Saturday, some dude on Twitter with the incredibly legible username dvk955568117 called out Sixx, telling him he should get on Neil’s ass for not being able to put it together on stage. And that’s taking it lightly, saying he should “get Vince jogging or some Ozempic.” He then ended his carefully thought out missive with “Fat shit can’t sign”, which I think he meant sing, but I don’t think the guy’s spending a whole lot of time checking his tweets for spelling errors.

Naturally, Sixx took offense to that. Remember, he’s been in a band with Neil for decades now. They’ve known each other forever, know their wives (and ex-wives) and kids. How could you think he’s going to respond with anything other than a big “fuck you” to some rando on the internet?

Well, the next day Sixx shot back:

“What an embarrassing thing to post to me about my singer who’s been with me for 45 years. No matter what you think he’s my brother and you can go suck a dick.”

Ka-pow. Now, if there’s one band we at MetalSucks loves to harp on, it’s Mötley Crüe. Specifically, we love ragging on Vince Neil and his subpar performances in recent years, as he ages and fails to maintain the kind of fitness you’d need for the kind of show that band wants to put on. Oh and that misheard lyrics video where the lyrics are changed to things like “Big Mac — $1.03”? Fucking priceless. Hell, it’s gotten to the point that they blocked us on socials.

But it’s kinda become a little out of fashion to harp on Neil and his fitness. The dude had a stroke around Christmas 2024 and that forced the band to cancel their 2025 Las Vegas residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM. According to Neil, he suffered multiple strokes that ultimately led to the big one that December day, during which he was completely unable to get out of bed that morning.

If there’s anything to take out of this, it’s that Neil’s already doing that shit. He’s apparently been doing physical therapy and training to try to get back on stage. Make fun of the guy for fucking up his lyrics. Make fun of the guy for looking like an old doofus on stage when he could have just stayed retired and enjoyed the good life. Fat shaming to his bassist and long-time bandmate? Cringe, bro.

As it stands, Mötley Crüe has an upcoming ‘The Return of Carnival Of Sins Tour’ slated to start this July. It’s a 20th anniversary celebration of both the 2005-06 Carnival Of Sins tour and the band’s 45th anniversary.

CORROSION OF CONFORMITY Presents “You Or Me” Video / Single; Good God / Baad Man

Double Album To Drop On April 3rd Via Nuclear Blast

 

“You Or Me” is the latest single from American heavy metal icons CORROSION OF CONFORMITY. The crushing new track comes off the band’s mammoth new double album, Good God / Baad Man, set for release on April 3rd via Nuclear Blast and is accompanied by a video created by acclaimed visual arts icon Costin Chioreanu with additional footage filmed by Mike Holderbeast.

“With ‘You Or Me,’ CORROSION OF CONFORMITY are back at the top of their game. This blistering, Sabbed out track is an angry acid trip into the origins of the human condition since the dawn of man. In these primitive times, it’s clear to say they haven’t learned much. So Black it’s Blue.” – Lucifer

Adds the band, “Deep from within the forests of Romania and the twisted mind of our dear friend Costin Chioreanu comes his twisted visions put to CORROSION’s music. It’s a match made in purgatory. There’s some special additions from [director] Mike Holderbeast’s crew as well.”

 

 

 

Last month, CORROSION OF CONFORMITY introduced Good God / Baad Man with their debut single, “Gimme Some Moore.” The track features backing vocals from Ministry’s Al Jourgensen as well as Madonna guitarist Monte Pittman. Wrote Revolver upon first listen, “CORROSION OF CONFORMITY are doubling down on their unique brand of heaviness this year… with the release of a Southern-sludgy barnburner… ‘Gimme Some Moore’ is apparently on the pissed-off first LP.” Consequence concurred noting, “The track is a throwback to COC’s punk era in the ’80s, barreling forward as Pepper Keenan delivers grizzled lead vocals,” while MetalSucks championed, “an absolute ass stomper. Riff on riff on riff. The drums, handled by the great Stanton Moore, are pounding and drive the whole shebang forward, and the solo’s a ripper. Pepper doesn’t sound like he’s lost a step at all since the release of 2018’s No Cross No Crown. It really does feel like a continuation of In The Arms Of God – which absolutely fucking rules.”
