Motley Crue has always been notorious in the media for the drama that goes on between the four of them. The coverage of the band's film The End of their final concert that includes interviews with each band member is no exception. Bassist and primary song writer Nikki Sixx isn't too pleased about this and would rather the fans see it as a celebration of the band's career.
That said however, the film does explicitly show how the members of Motley Crue have grown apart as friends/fellow musicians. At one point in The End, Sixx states that while they are not enemies they are not friends either.
Sixx doesn't want the focus to be on that however and addressed it in a recent Facebook post he made, saying:
"Motley Crüe has always been about passion. We did things our way and ended it honestly "Our Way".The press has obviously seen a screener of our last show THE END and is only using the parts of interviews that push drama for them and aren't concerned with the millions of fans and the beauty of our last show together. You can't wrap up a 35 year career with a couple sounds bites to get attention for your websites and programming. THE END is a combination of everybody's hard from production people, crews, managers,agents and the band but the most important aspect is the fans.
There is a whole story here to be told through music and lyrics. Can't wait for it to come out so we can get back to the music and show. Thank you. Nikki"
I guess we'll all just have to wait and see what The End is really like before making our own judgment calls. After all, the media always does take just the bits of things that they want in order to make a story something it isn't necessarily in order to make money. It's no secret that the Crue has had issues over the years, but there is no need to blow things out of proportion. I'm more looking forward to the film for the concert anyway. The music is what it's always been primarily about anyway.
