Recently, a captivating video has emerged, showcasing a potential final instance of MÖTLEY CRÜE’s bassist, Nikki Sixx, authentically performing live bass without reliance on any backing tracks.
This occurrence has garnered considerable attention, particularly in light of the ongoing debate surrounding the band’s utilization of pre-recorded elements in their live performances.
Within the Reddit community, where fans engaged in discourse about Nikki’s genuine bass performance during CRÜE’s recent tour, a user shared their perspective: “There was a clip circulating on YouTube featuring Nikki’s unedited live bass, and the sonic outcome was quite tumultuous. Undoubtedly, one of the most subpar bass exhibitions you might ever encounter.
“Regrettably, the video has since been removed from YouTube. Nevertheless, I wonder if it found its way into the collections of other viewers. The evidence presented was genuinely incriminating. It derived from a mid-2000s tour, and goodness gracious, Nikki’s sonic output was below par. Evidently, the auxiliary track faltered, and when Nikki’s live bass resonated through the principal amplifiers, the result was astoundingly shocking.
“As others have previously remarked, the material is relatively straightforward to execute. With perhaps a mere week of devoted practice, he could likely master the repertoire. However, his commitment to this endeavor seems lacking. Consequently, he mimics his performance to the pre-recorded track due to the woeful tonality emanating from his bass guitar. Mick’s assertion that Nikki hasn’t genuinely played a solitary note live during the recent tour is entirely valid. A mere three-second observation of Nikki’s hand movements exposes the truth. One need not possess musical expertise to discern Nikki’s evident lack of earnestness in mimicking the performance.”
