"Sixx:A.M. gracefully and patiently waited in the wings, while the mother ship, a.k.a. Motley Crue, had touring we had to do," says Sixx. "I've heard Tommy [Lee] say that it's hard to throw yourself 100 percent into a project, when you have to go out on the road to do other projects."

Sixx went on to say he's proud that Motley Crue didn't linger on, as a touring band, longer than they should have. "We ended Motley Crue on our terms, so now we have the time--each guy, individual--to do whatever he wants to do."
