MÖTLEY CRÜE Bassist NIKKI SIXX On Paris Concert Massacre - "This Was Never On The List Of Things To Worry About"

During a recent edition of his syndicated radio show Sixx Sense, Mötley Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx spoke about the November 13th terrorist attack in Paris, France during an Eagles Of Death Metal concert at The Bataclan where 89 people inside the club were shot to death.

Sixx said, in part (hear the audio below), “I’m on the road with a rock band, and I have a road crew and tour buses and fans and everything that’s extended off of what we’re doing out here. And the same thing happened in Paris; there was a band playing and fans.

I found out about this when I walked off stage in Munich. At the same time that we (Mötley Crüe) were playing, Eagles Of Death Metal were playing in Paris, and it was a totally different experience, even though it was similar in a lot of ways. That’s really what touched me and touched all of us out here even a little bit deeper than the news. Because we were, like, ‘It could have happened here.’

Our bus company that we use is also used by Eagles Of Death Metal, so there’s all these photos outside of the venue, and you see the bus and crew members, and we all know each other. I know that band; I know their crew. It could have happened to us, it could have happened to any of us bands touring in Europe, and the fans.

What message does this send just into the entertainment industry? People go to a rock concert… to have a good time — have some beers, sing their favorite songs. This was never on the list of things to worry about in the music industry.

I’m just kind of, with everybody else, blown away. But in our little world, our little touring world, of musicians and crew and just everything that we do, it’s weird, because it was just a mere one country over.”
