    but what does ed's personal living situation have anything to do with music?
    Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer

    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.

    Not like "Fuck Mötley Crüe" is David Letterman-levels of wit.
