In a brand new interview with Jameson Ketchum of Outburn, guitarist John 5 spoke about his close friendship with MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx.
He said:
“Nikki, he’s my best friend. We love each other. He has inspired me and taught me so much about life in general. He’s a phenomenal songwriter, lyricist, author, everything. He’s always telling me to listen to this audio book or see this movie. He has a happy marriage, a happy life, a successful band he started from the ground up. He’s one of the most inspiring people. He’ll text me all the time to read something or try something. It’s wonderful.
He’s a phenomenal photographer as well. I remember him telling me that he’s going to take bass lessons again and get into playing with his fingers. He was so dedicated. We worked on ‘The Dirt’ soundtrack together. When we went into the studio, he did it all with his fingers. [MÖTLEY CRÜE drummer] Tommy Lee was like, ‘Look at you.’ He’s just such a dedicated person. I loved [‘The Dirt’] movie; it was killer.”
