Nikki Sixx has been the bassist and driving force with Mötley Crüe since forming the band in 1981. Their collision of early 70s glam rock and sneering punk attitude laid the foundation for much of the hard rock music that followed throughout the decade, with the Crüe themselves notching up hit albums in the shape of Shout At The Devil, Theater Of Pain, Girls, Girls, Girls and Dr Feelgood. Despite signing a ‘legally-binding’ Cessation Of Touring document in 2014, the band reunited in 2018 and hit the road once more, most recently on their successful co-headlining stadium tour with Def Leppard. Here, Sixx reflects upon the records and artists who inspired his own incident-packed rock ’n’ roll adventures.
