Bret Michaels, Poison’s frontman, shared his thoughts about Nikki Sixx’s previous remarks during an appearance on Steve-O’s Wild Ride! Podcast. The conversation focused on the dynamic between Poison and Mötley Crüe throughout their Stadium Tour collaboration.
“What’s weird is… here’s another thing with Nikki, same thing, you know we’ve been out with Mötley Crüe a thousand times. Me and Nikki always hanging we back in the day. I’m a big Harley guy. We go and ride. Couldn’t be a nicer guy,” Michaels said.
“Again I didn’t read what Nikki said, and I’ve had a couple people bring it up, but then when I see him he’s the most inviting,” he continued. “There’s also part of it, I’m guessing I want to say this, there’s a part of it of a little bit of putting on a bada** demeanor. But underneath it, nothing but nice.”
“When I see him backstage it’s like, ‘How you doing? Great to see you.’ And if he said something bad, I don’t got nothing bad to say back I wish I could counter with something. But he’s a nice guy,” Michaels added.
