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 Lee�s 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 s**** 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."
