Neuroticas Kelly Shaefer checked in with
his final installment of the Ozzfest Tour diary. While relaying details
about the Los Angeles area stop of this summers Ozzfest, he related a story
about running into Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue back stage and that report
further confirms what we reported last week about the Crue thinking about
one final tour and then retiring (see
story). According to Kelly, Nikki speculated that he would like to
have Motley Crues final tour to be Ozzfest 2003.
Here is the full story from Kelly as he
describes running into Nikki Sixx on the side of the mainstage at the LA
Ozzfest show during Tommy Lees set:
"As I approached side stage, I saw Nikki
Sixx coming with his wife Donna D'Errico. He appeared just as he did in
all of those CRÜE videos, still sort of rolling in all his 80's glory.
It's strange that Tommy has sort of stayed 'relevant', but Nikki still
appears to me as 80's. Don't get me wrong, I have respect for Nikki. I
loved Shout At The Devil and Too Fast For Love those were good times
in my life so I have fond memories of those tunes! it was interesting
to me to be standing in L.A. side stage while Tommy was playing, and looking
across to the other side of the stage and seeing Nikki Sixx watching Tommy
play. He seemed 'amused' and entertained as he watched them play 'Shout
AtThe Devil'. I thought that maybe Nikki would have come out to jam it
with him. After Tommy's set, I was hanging and ran into Nikki. I introduced
myself and we chatted for a bit about Vince and his belligerent rantings
lately, and his current drunken status. He said it's a shame 'cause he
and Tommy had talked about how cool it would be todo it one more time,
but with the shape of Vince, it would be hard todo, just hard to deal with
him like he is. I am quite sure and could tell by the sound of his voice
that they had dealt with that shit for too long already, so I can understand
why he would be reluctant to jump on that train again, so to speak. He
said how cool it would be to do it at Ozzfest next year. I guess we will
see soon enough if they pull it together again."
