Nikki Sixx Tommy Lee Alexei Sayle Motley Crue Interview

[RATTfan95]

What did the F.T.W. Stand for?

[SP00NY]

@RATTfan95, back then it was "F**k The World" rather than the lame "For The Win" that it has become!

[motleyhar]

The guy doing the interview was only 37 at the time and he looked like he was 80, wow.

[KHDimebagD]

SIXX F.T.W.

[FromQC94]

Nikki's laugh = SEXY

He's so funny! I just wanna cuddle him XD

[FromQC94]

Nikki's laugh = SEXY

He's so funny :) I just wanna cuddle him XD

[IntellectualAmy]

I recall this show very well. The Tube actually did a Heavy metal edition (which was bloody great and made a change) but I don't recall Twisted Sister being very well received.

[w0bbl3r]

They touted that bullshit "if one leaves we dont carry on" cry for years, didnt they?

And then they went and did it not once, but fucking TWICE. More really if you count the drummers after new tattoo.

What a bunch of sellouts they are now.

Even here NIkki shows how he likes to be seen as intelligent but cant back it up. Alexi sayle is a VERY intelligent guy, and could have spoken for the entire show about 16th century theatre, but Nikki had to admit he knew fuck all.

By the way, I LOVE the crue

[JohnLeMesurier1]

@w0bbl3r it's ok, there's no need to cry. You need to take more crack.

[ReglerPegler]

Its a bass not a guitar!! ><

[tindall25]

@ReglerPegler Bass...Guitar, thats what its called, it the exact same, both have strings, body, neck, head, wiring, jack-input and both need amps, whats different apart from they both play different parts of the song? im play both, they are both infact Guitars.

[xxKittyQueenxx]

@tindall25 but they dont sound the same

[xxKittyQueenxx]

@tindall25 but they dont sound the same

[username13245100]

@ReglerPegler -_- a bass is a guitar. its a bass guitar..

[calchas101]

its funny how audiences are no longer allowed to stand so close to bands these days

[APKCrue]

@flowerdrop1 you have no idea what ur talking about, Mick is thee best guitarist still alive

[brittisnow]

What a hilarious lie about Shout at the Devil - it DID used to be Shout WITH the Devil according to The Dirt.

[ANBUblackops666]

@brittisnow probably a rumor

[RozieBelly]

I kinda bet they wished they'd replaced Vince (again) if they'd known how he ballsed up at Sonisphere!!!

[JohnCarloA]

#.LOL

[themariner42]

wut kind of bass is that?

[EdBraski0977]

@themariner42 It looks like an Ibanez but i think th headstock says Hamer. I know Nikki used Hamers too for awhile

[stevemann40]

The guy behind Nikki Sixx with the orange hair is Cronos' (Venom) brother. Most of the other guys there I went to school with...

[Revenchist6]

" Its Called home sweeet home YAAAAAAH! * Gay arm in the air" - and cut! - lol gold

[Electric666Gypsy]

1:27-1:30 aaaaaahhh sweet NIKKI, so cool, his smile and gestures, OMG

[fatdude600]

Leathur Records

Stick To Your Guns

Stick To Your Guns/Toast Of The Town

1,000 copies

[TheBraveSirRobin]

@fatdude600 congratulations, you just won a brand new bass guitar. Or not.

[gilgel55]

hahaha they'll never replace a member... except vince... and tommy... hahaahaa

[flowerdrop1]

Nikki was the whole band. Their music would have been a lot better if he had at least one other musician to help. Lee was just a pounder, Neil was a pudge ball poser and Mick Mars was out there in space.

[ReturnToTheLiving]

The interviewer is awesome !

[mimilovesfish]

love love love!

[Heavymetalpunker92x]

omg nikki and tommy is so hot <3 i love motley crue

[80sxRockerxChick]

they are sooo sexy!! nikki and tommy are my favorites!!!

[juicysweetgreenleaf]

Nikki Sixx is a genius!

[williamsmulisha]

I love how Nikki just cuts Tommy off all the time

[misscherrypunk]

LMFAO "i have sum sensible questions for u"

i love alexei and i love motley

never knew this interview happened back in the day :)

[iheartrumsey]

HEHEHEH SO AMAZING OMG.

[Rocknrollgirlbabe]

Nikki´s hair<3

[Sleazeyuppie]

Hmm FTW.... I thought that was a relative new internet term....

[RapidCycling07]

@Sleazeyuppie

to my knowledge FTW was originally recognized as "f**k the world" then all of a sudden in recent years ive noticed people use it as an acronym for "for the win"...i could be wrong...i knew of "F**k the world" as FTW for like 20 years

[metalheadtiddelz]

Wow... and yet... they would get John Corabi, and a whole lot of different drummers until the original line up came back together...

[DonTrustZepHaters]

that poodle hair made me laugh sooooo hard XD

[Pillars0fSerpents]

Haha, well it originally was Shout With The Devil. xD

[oogeer]

Chuck Norris hasn't died once, Nikki Sixx has died twice!

[jaketwisted666]

theyre hair is fucking awesome

nikki sixx was actually quite intelligent

[MrDeathlyBoom]

@jaketwisted666 Was? He is.

[MetalLabStudios]

The red head guy in the back ground "with" nikki looks like Thom Yorke from Radiohead with longer hair

[Viic88]

Does Nikki have fakehair? I never seen him with that long hair

[TheGreatRichtig]

@Viic88 no. he had hai even longer in around '81.

[Totalmachine09]

Oh god! that horrible hair, they rule though

[isoperuna2]

ITS A BASS

NOT A GUITAR .. pathetic moron

but tommy and nixxipixxi waz so kutiez on this interview : )

[davies1]

but it is also a bass guitar you dopey cunt :)

[jakewashere17]

LOL

[Totalmachine09]

well people make mistakes, so pathetic moron is a bit harsh. And a bass is a type of guitar so...

[mrbrightsidesl]

Watching this now, it's funny hearing them say they'd never replace a band member lol Still Rockin 28 years on tho, kudos to the Crue!!

[bella3458]

Nikki Sixx. is a god. thats all i have to say.

[Motleychick91]

ski4life19, Nikki wrote FTW on the guitar meaning fuck the world. Nikki isn't the type of person to write things like "for the win" really come on its NIKKI SIXX

[14ax2]

i like how nikki always brings up that the albums called shout AT the devil and not shout WITH the devil, when they actually was going to call it shout eith the devil in the bginning

[m0otube]

Bet that guitar's few worth a fortune now!

[Daz80]

Slash in the background. awes!

[hellyea93]

slash isn't in here, this was in 1986

[annm1969]

Nikki blows my mind, he was the most lucid heroin addict. It's truly something to see these interveiws, then remember what was in the "Heroin Diares" and realize he how bad off he really was. I don't know if "strength" is really the proper word to describe him but it's the only word I can think of and this had to be what eventually pulled him through the addiction.

[gabripi]

I love nikkis hair, I inspired my haircut on him.

[sjorre8]

i think leathür record is the answer on number 1

[MrsKretschmann]

Ohmygod. CUTEST smile at 2:30

<3 Motley Crue

[MrsKretschmann]

...my GOD. How gorgeous is Nikki. Seriously ....<3

[evolnieveilebi]

So what are the answers?

1. Name of record label for Too Fast For Love

2. What was the first single

3. Songs on that single

4. How many pressing were there

I wanna know!

[SP00NY]

Then read all the comments !

[nerghalsvk]

why were you even here watchig the video if you don`t know that?

[w0bbl3r]

1. elektra (leathur was the limited release on their own budget labe)

2. live wire??

3 not sure

4. if youre talking leathur, it was about 20,000, i think. or maybe it was 10,000.

i assume youre talking about the leathur records versions here, as you are asking about how many were released. i THINK the leathur records single was stick to your guns, which didnt make the album when elektra re-released it

[Teekey94]

Leathür records is number 1

and i think there was 1000 copys pressed on number 4

[imagesk8r6969]

SIXX FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nikkisixxfan86]

this is the day before vinces 25 birthday! wharton. lol

[KISSfreak2342]

xD tommy and nikki at 1:02 lmao!!!!

[ibanezjack]

yerh the 86-87 was wen he was realllyyy bad on smack, an the band got clean in 87 before recording dr. feelgood, he's bin off heroin for 22 years and compltely sobre for like 8 years :)

[moxie96]

I had no Idea this interview existed and alexi hosted this show ever. Thanks for posting this!

[trevor333davis3]

he overdosed exactly one week after this interview.

[TippGunnerGuitarist]

ha he woke up in a bin

[obeedoo]

he doesn't look like a man about to day, eh?

[GerardXWaysXWife]

i love his laugh!! it makes me happy :) i love nikki

[BlakkieFoxx]

Nikki overdosed on heroin at this time, in England, ...in february 86 ;D ..and it was for the first time!

[metalupyourass169]

valentines day 1986 im pretty sure

[pikeythedrumfreak]

man, nikki od'd a week after this... they mustve been touring in england cause he did it in london

[Rentgrrrl92]

he OD'd and died...and yeah he was touring... woke up in a dumpster after the dealer beat the shit out of him with a baseball bat...It's in The Heroin Diaries

[PlagueOfCorruption]

They had 'FTW' in the 80's? I thought that was more of a modern thing like 'Lol'

[Aghenth]

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic, but FTW back then surely meant F*** The World and nothing else.

[ski4life19]

just think about it,

why would nikki sixx right something as gay as for the win on his guitar ?

[Roger8176]

Nikki is blatantly on heroin.

[VegasBean]

I'm in LOVE with Nikki's laugh it's too adorable, every time I hear it I get butterflies in stomach kind of feeling it's so weird LOL.

[mandan95]

haha ma dad won that bass and he had it hanging up for years and ended up selling it :)

[nrlnhl4545]

for how much

[BlakkieFoxx]

That sounds lame, ..His bass i cool man ;)

[natsbff4ev1]

omg i love motley crew

[LiLShaGWirE565]

when vince left motley wasnt the same. hooligins holiday was a decent song but it wsnt motley glad vince is back. like what tommy said in this video.

[alesana141]

hes not as in heroin in this interview but later on durring girls girls girls he really fucked up

[poopsrdk]

that guy with the poofy hair in the back-round looks like slash

[lovinliverpool]

a very ugly version

[lilsquirt37]

nikki's laugh at 2:30 scares the shit out of me! its freakin weird. haha. damn, he's hot though!

[MotleyCrueChick4]

Tommy and Nikki are sooo freakin hot !

[AAV360]

nikki sixx are like the hotest man on earth!

[razzlefan4life]

what does F.T.W mean? i'm always seeing nikki with it. fuck the world? ....LOL

[SP00NY]

Correct for 1 bonus point !

[razzlefan4life]

niiiice. lol!

[sxyempathy]

this was a week before he ODed

[razzlefan4life]

enless your talking about a different time that he ODed thats not correct. he ODed DEC 22 1987 (its in Heroin Diaries), this was done 7th Feb 1986 (says in the discribtion) .... just thought i'd let ya know :)

[BlackyBunny]

Didn't he OD in 86 as well? Because it says in the Heroin Diaries, if I'm not mistaken, that he's gonna celebrate his one year annivercary for ODing - or something along those lines

[MotleySCrue]

Yeah he OD'd on Valentine's day in '86 I believe. That time Andy McCoy saved his life...

[Motleycruekicksass5]

he also od in december of 86' that was the most famous one, when he was hanging with slash and slash's girlfriend

[51Lv3R1nK5tYl3]

Actually it was December '87. He OD'd in February '86 and December '87. The book the Heroin Diaries starts in December '86 and ends a year later when he OD's for the second time in December '87.

[rohan750]

na he od'd in 87

[Motleycruekicksass5]

he od'd 3 times

[GerardXWaysXWife]

dude...he od'd like 6 times...its all in the book that i just finished reading. im so glad hes better now. i cried at the end.

[Idol2Idol]

Brilliant, Motley Crue and Alexi Sayle

[erikanjackz]

haha i tommy's face 0:19

[MetalUpYourAss29]

hah. you can't really tell how strung out nikki is here.

[WEEtie97]

ok if if you are all CRUE HEADS than whats the answer to the question? well their record label was Leathur Records, the first single was Live Wire and there was 5 songs on the album which were Toast of the Town,Stick To Your Guns,Public Enemy #1,Take me to the top and Piece of your Action!!!!! NOW IM A TRUE CRUE FAN

[SP00NY]

FAIL !, Leathur Records, Allan Coffman finances one thousand 7 vinyl copies of Mötley Crües first 45rpm single, Stick To Your Guns backed with Toast Of The Town, which are flung out for free at gigs. The third song recorded Nobody Knows What Its Like To Be Lonely, formerly titled I Got The Power, isnt used.

[nextbonzo]

ya thats right, live wire as a single? what in the fuck are you smoking up there buddy, spoony is right toast of the town and stick to your guns was first.

[TippGunnerGuitarist]

no! livewire was the first single when they got signed. Read Tommyland. he was still in high school when he first heard it on the radio.

He was signed to Elektra while he was still in school.

[FueledByRock]

Just because you know that doesn't make you a "true crue fan." Anyone can get that information off of Wikipedia nowadays; it was back then, when it was more obscure, that knowing stuff like that showed you really cared.

[MohawkOfficial]

'never replace a band member'. They replaced Vince with Corabi, and before their sabbatical, they replaced Tommy with some girl that Nikki had an affair with.

[LinusLundiin]

No. Tommy left and was replaced by Ozzy Osbourne's drummer Randy Castillo. He then became very ill in cancer and couldn't go on tour with them so Samantha Maloney (previously of Hole) was the stand in drummer.

[bretnine]

ya but that was later on. times change and what else could any of those guys do. can you see mick mars with a desk job or nikki sixx selling crap? of course they would move on. now the original line up is together again and the band is on fire. saints of las angeles!

[MohawkOfficial]

ha ha! Motley Crue with a scouser!

[stm1995]

ha but they replace vince ha ha lol

any way he cam back vince is one f te best front men in the world

[LauNikkiTommy]

Ahh Nikki's laugh is so cute at 0:24 and it's so nice to see him lucrid and not fucked up.

[LauNikkiTommy]

Nice to see Nikki not so fucked up. He's so lucrid when he's not fucked up. This was before he really went low with his drug addiction.

[CrimsonIdol1990]

tommy is 6'4 and strong as hell...or at least he was

[bleedblack685]

haha...he said maybe about seeing them around a long time...lawl...i'm happy to say they've been around a very long time <3

[hotprofdude]

LOL...it's so funny to see Tommy Lee act tough...the guy is so skinny...LOL.

[RattandRoll21]

Hes tall as hell tho

[HighThrillz27]

so because he's skinny he's not tough?  I don't follow....can't they be totally unrelated?

[kps142]

the mans been hitting drums for hours on end for what 30 yrs now? i sure as hell wouldnt want to be hit by him

[m3talhead4eva]

radiohead is one of the gayest bands ever

[terrorwilds666]

I LOVE YOU NIKKI!

[Amsterdam74yeah]

There's a redhead guy right behind Nikki who looks like Thom Yorke from Radiohead.

That'd be weird.

[Alexis2punk4u]

do0d thats the guy that sings dr.martens boots on fukking young ones hahahah

[rattle75]

mtlsixshooter you just don't understand British/Australian humour.Alexei isn't trying to be nasty his just having a laugh. Alexei and the Crue are all good blokes and seem to get on. You Americans have got to stop taking yourselves so seriously and get over yourselves.

[orangepolyester]

The interviewer is Alexei Sayle. He pretty much invented alternative comedy in Britain. Some of his targets are egoism and bombast - something the Crue had loads of (though to be fair, they sound like decent blokes here.) If he sounds stupid it's because he's 'taking the piss' - cutting them down to size. Brits do it all the time.

[mtlsixshooter]

I don't understand why he needs to cut them down to size, if anything Motley Crue are guests in Britain and should not be subjected to this shit. If anything i believe this idiot interviewer was trying to provoke them into having some kind of cheap altercation for ratings and maybe having his 15 mins of fame in the U.S.

[mtlsixshooter]

The guy doing the interview is an pure idiot.

[donniexbw420]

yep

[Cruekay95]

to add to the/ my comment about the shout at the devil thing i got the positive thing of the song basically all the things nikki said.

[Cruekay95]

wen they were talkin' bout the whole shout at the devil i got what they were tryin to say first time i heard the song title so i got all tht

[Cruekay95]

hey! lol i like nikki's laugh 2. it's weird thou. look how much they've changed.

[Weepingwine1]

Alexei gives these half wits and unoriginal rock cliches enough rope...... Sadly they are so devoid of cerebral matter they don't know they are getting the piss taken out of them.

[motleygirl123]

omg i love them soo much!!!

<3333

[megotsflavagrls]

zomgz really???!!

[LoveUBranin]

Love Tommy laugh , fuckin cutest ever ! <3

[Daphnedef]

Nikki's lachje is leuk op ongeveer 22 seconde haha:P

[SP00NY]

Nikki's laugh is amusing on approximately 22 second haha: PEN

[Daphnedef]

haha yeah his funny laugh make me laugh haha:P

[Thunderstruck109]

Tommy & Nikki = Legends

:]
