    So why did Eddie Vedder get called out? Because he threw the first punch — and, according to Nikki, the guy’s a douche:

    “The thing is: If you want to badmouth my band, I’ll probably say something in return. What I don’t understand is why the guy is talking about my band. He’s a successful guy, let’s face it: guys fly private jets, he lives in a mansion in a gated community, he sells out stadiums, and he dresses up pretending to be a guy in the ’90s… Don’t talk bad about my band, man! At least I’m being honest.”



    In fairness, I think Ed was talking about ALL OF THOSE BANDS, not specifically MC.  Think that makes him feel better?
    Ed said "Motley Crue, Fuck You". That's a pretty direct shot at Sixx's band I'd say.

    I have zero issue with this latest quote from Sixx, he's 100% right. He's just defending his band against an unprovoked attack by EV.
    When was that?  He said MC - Fu right from that very first interview?

    In a recent interview with The New York Times, Pearl Jam vocalist Eddie Vedder minced no words in regards to Mötley Crüe and the late-Eighties hair-metal scene. "'Girls, Girls, Girls' and Mötley Crüe: [expletive] you," he said, adding, "I hated it. I hated how it made the fellas look. I hated how it made the women look. It felt so vacuous."

    Mmmm... I can't tell you how much I agree with this statement.  Vacuous is the perfect word for hair bands.

    I think he’s just saying Ed’s a douche. Ed’s “attack” was sort of personal too after all. It wasn’t just “I’m not into that music.” Saying that he hated how bands like MC made the “fellas” and the women look does come off like “holier-than-thou” bullshit. So I think Sixx is saying that at least with him, what ya see is what ya get….misogyny and all. On the other hand, Ed interrupts his concerts and HOF induction to preach about climate change, while, as Sixx mentioned, flying around in private jets

    Well pj is one of the few bands that offset their carbon emissions when using private jets.

    Personally I don't care about any of that.  Any rip on that music and that hedonism is fine by me.

    Weird they didn't care about getting the quote correct.

    This is getting into Artie Lange/Sal Governale territory.  In the old days, Stern would try to get both guys (Ed and Nikki) on and try to "clear the air" with them.

    I’m just saying that’s probably Sixx’s perspective.

    Local radio stations have been playing parts of this interview. They sure are making this big!  
  • This is just marketing tactic for ohana 22 headlined by Motley Crue and Pearl Jam 😂

    And Nikki Sixx dresses up pretending to be a guy from the 80's with a weird hair cut, hair dye, and eye liner. I'd much prefer to be dressed as a guy pretending to be in the 90's.

    And I don't even think the statement is true.  He dresses like a normal person.  Mike is the one that dresses like a rock star,  if anyone.

    Kind of dumb for Ed to specifically mention Motley Crue. Just generalize it with the hair metal scene. He opened himself up for some criticism.

    Don’t get me wrong, I banged my head to kickstart my heart and a few others, but Pearl Jam fucking rocks hard as shit, but what Stevie Nixx and his crew aren’t interested in beauty.

    Nikki 6 looks like he is dressed for a goth Halloween party, who is he to judge what people dress like? Eddie put his foot in his mouth when he specifically mentioned their band, should have just said I don’t relate to the 80s hair bands.

    I love her.  So much talent.  The songs she wrote at like 25 years old are astounding.  I was a dipshit at that age, and she was writing things like Landslide  I can't relate at all. 

    Although in fairness, she didn't come up with "Unskinny Bop".  So she didn't have the "genius" market cornered.
