Ethan Miller/Getty ImagesNikki Sixx from Motley Crue had fun with fans on Twitter, revealing his dream concert tour wish and mentioning it would be "Destroy The World." The rocker’s candid responses have sparked enthusiasm among fans worldwide.
Nikki Sixx answered fan questions and expressed his excitement for a potential future tour, stating, “I think us and Guns N’ Roses would destroy the world.” To this day, fans still dream of this double-bill extravaganza of these great bands touring together.
The Bands Did Tour Back In The Early Days
Elektra‘Too Fast For Love,” and from the moment you hear Mick Mars’ chugging opening riff, you know Motley Crue is not a band to be messed with. It’s the type of song that can only be written by someone young and hungry. You can’t get away with writing lyrics like, “Because I'm hot, young, running free/A little bit better than I used to be,” when you’re three albums into your career.
The bands did tour together back in time. Both hailing from Los Angeles, Guns N' Roses came along a couple of years after Motley Crue's debut, Too Fast for Love, came out in 1981 and briefly in 1987 for about a month.
Guns and Roses were open to the idea early on, but their breakthrough album, Appetite for Destruction, had not yet been released. As the story goes, when it came time, the nod was given to the band Whitesnake.
The Newest Motley Member Says It Would Be A Wonderful Wonderful Tour
The new kid, John 5, who replaced Mick Mars for the guitar player position, said in a podcast on the latest episode of the GUNS N ROSES "Appetite For Distortion" podcast that John 5 was asked about the possibility of Motley Crue teaming up with the Axl Rose-fronted outfit for a tour.
"Well, if you were to ask me (John 5) in a reality sense, like bands that are touring and bands that I love, my number one would be GUNS N ROSES. And me and Nikki talked about this. we both said, 'Oh, GUNS N' ROSES.' And just because it's such a perfect fit.
I Know What You Did Last Summer
Last summer, Mötley Crüe embarked on a co-headlining Stadium Tour with Def Leppard. The tour evolved into a World Tour, becoming the band’s most profitable tour of all time. The Tour went so well that the band decided to extend it, delighting fans worldwide.
