They apparently got along fairly well behind the scenes. There was an episode of Headbanger’s Ball that was hosted by Nikki and Vince, and they were both saying how much they enjoyed getting the chance to hang with Metallica while touring with the Monsters of Rock back in 1991.

Don't spoil it for me I'm hoping James beats the shit out of Nikki by the end of the interview..

Really it was more of a Motley vs Guns thing back then. Obviously there were some things said but as far as hatred , I think GnR takes the cake.

It’s life and we’re all pretty much the same at the heart of it all

Ikr. I was kind of shocked myself by this interview.

Gary Sanders...well said. As I posted above this is so fucking sweet as. R.E.S.P.E.C.T. Survivors.

The thing is most Thrash bands from that era are still around while most glam acts are just Gone !!

Gary Sanders nice comment. Finally some peaceful comments for a change.

Gary Sanders it’s called “ getting old”. 👍

That is good. Ita good that all these bands have figured their stuff out. But I hope that sombody can dig it back up in a couple years

Dylan Martin ha heard that

Dylan Martin Definitely a solid dude. Props James!!

Cute

Why?

Same with me

It absolutely would!

Not really. Axl sounds like shit and Vince is even worse. Metallica would wipe the floor with them both!

Nah, I saw Guns N’ Roses over summer. Axl sounded like the records. Peace.

@@WhenHariMetKari you must be tone deaf then!

The last time metallica and GNR toured together it didn't particularly end so well

My two favorite bands in the 80s was Megadeth and Motley Crue.

AlwaysSomething Cool, I delivered a bed to Dave Mustaines house in Scottsdale Az. Though i didn’t meet him, I met his wife and daughter. They ordered a bed for the In-laws, whom were coming to visit Dave and Family.

@@val13c59 my drummer from my old band worked for Westwoodone radio and told me Dave would be doing interviews for his book and invited me to watch the interview and then meet him. I hung out with his wife and daughter for an hour while we watch Dave being interviewed. Then afterward I got to meet and talk with him, he signed some stuff and then we walked them out. I was thrilled.

To me it was all rock in rock.

I would pay a lot of money to see that

Not getting burned twice... NO GnR! 🤬

THAT WOULD BE AMAZING!!!!

as a 19 year old who loves these bands sm, knowing Nikki paid Lars out back in the day its cool he had a great talk with james, there both Song writers composers and both had addictions and rough up bringings, U can hear there youth talking in this, u can tell They know now they wouldve had some sick Jams together

Too Fast for Love. Tommy with the cow bell? I really hated everything they did after Shout at the Devil.

Nick Korte TFFL was more of a sleaze-rock/glam-punk album.

Shout at the Devil was definitely their best and heaviest album... But there is a song or 2 off every album that I like... I do have to say I think Motley's 94 album with Corabi was their best song writing album... Nikki wrote 3 kinda songs... songs about sex, drugs and the sunset strip... Motley 94 was a completely different animal... I know a lot of people overlook that album cause it doesn't sound like what you'd expect a Motley album to sound like and it shouldn't of been called Motley Crue but 25 years later that album still holds up the songs were good Corabi is a good singer... Check out the Dead Daisies last few albums...

Shout at the devil for me was the Album that basically every song I jammed too. Though not my favorite Home sweet Home seems what I call there live concerts Anthem, but who does like Wild side, Primal Scream and for me even though not heavy Same ol'Situation guitar work from Mick Mars is great! Kick start my heart...was great driving 100+ MPH song. This just my opinion.

when you listen to the enitre girls album you really realise how much rock and roll there is. It's a rock album with a somewhat heavy song and a cheesey sex song

Motley and Metallica had mostly the same fans in the 80s..but among the bands themselves, theres ego and rivalry and all that jazz. Healthy competition.

I can totally imagine James and Nikki sitting together and having a chat 35 years ago, they were hanging out in the same clubs and one time Motley Crue was gonna open up for Saxon but they had to pull out for some reason and Nikki asked Metallica to play instead of them.

because so much admiration, the two were musicians of heavy metal, each did what they wanted nobody was scared of anyone, motley crue were not little girls to be scared of metallica, was the classic rivalry in the eighties, nothing else was nothing, glam or trash, fuck that

Raf San totally agree, people grow up and It's not 1986 anymore..... 😳.....they're not competing in Circus or Hit Parader, they are here to stay. Peace.

1251wire Amen

Dwayne Garfield , Motley crue was prefered by me. I honestly did not get into Metalica before the black album and master of puppets. On stage however, from what I have watched on KZfaq, Motley Crue did all the crazy theatrical shit, like getting arrested in Phoenix! I love Tommy Lee's "titty cams"!

@@allencolvin656 Except Metallica just performed way better live lol

3rd grade? how old were you?

Logan-5 My buddies and I listened to it all too. It was great!

Boom- You nailed it Logan-5 I think a lot of us listened to them all and enjoyed them all. Metallica, Motley Crue, Megadeath, Anthrax, Ratt, Dokken- Guitars ruled the day

Hell dude with the movie out and a possible one more tour, a Motley and Metallica concert to bury the hatchet with the genres would be kickass, as a lifelong fan of both bands that would be a dream come true!

No thanks.

I don't think they'd do it, but I'd be down.. Would be a killer show as I love both bands!.

I wish

It probably says this little bit in almost every interview that I've seen in the past decade.

Michael Angelo Hatio, just like Michael Angelo Batio.

I was that 6 year old when my dad showed me them lol

TexasToRnADo Superbowl doesn't deserve such a legendary act like Metallica I can say this because I just saw them in San Diego 20 hours ago

Though there was definitely a rivalry back in the day, but like always, I think a lot of the animosity was really hyperbolic sensationalism from the music media.

Elizabeth DaRosa 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

i look like 23 year old James if that will do 😆

@@Aimeeejolee8019 How come I didn't even know about this reply until 2023. Thanx for nothing yt notifications....

Nice analogy...

Fuck you

John Mooradian that’s a fucking good example!

@jesse Vortex Sungte first of all, it's japan who attacked the 'mericans. second, your quote is stupid considering it's the japanese who have mastered the sword.

@jesse Vortex Sungte shut the fuck up. The dove off cliffs with babies in their hands.

Hey, Brando! We would have loved a video also, but James was in a different studio.

Sixx Sense I listen to your show all the time on the Nashville classic rock station. It really grew on me and I love hearing someone who really lived it talk about music and life in general. I saw you the last couple times Motley Crue was at Bridgestone Arena. You guys put on an amazing show.

Do really find it adds that much? Like, I like looking at Het as much as anyone but I find listening to long form interviews like this, I'm not watching the screen anyway.

@@fe5018 You're right that it would be just as easy to imagine it because it's just 2 people sitting and talking. I think the need to see them stems more from them and more specifically their 2 bands being rivals ever since 1982. And even going so far as hating each others genre. So it would be quite interesting to see what Nikki's face looks like while James is talking and vice versa

@@skornthesnake6935, in that case, I agree. Decades worth of video show Hetfield getting all shifty and kind of fidgety when he's being "diplomatic" and answering with PR polish, so I would actually like to have seen that too, now that I think about it.

Maybe james were in tour

lisng

Never say never, I was (and still am) a big fan of Mark Dacascos and I've been his fan since I was 16 and when I was 33 I actually met him at a Comic Con in Germany. I got to talk with him a little bit and when I told him I've been his fan since I was 16 he actually got up from the table he was sitting at and hugged me. I must say that was one of the highlights of my life. So you never know, you might meet James someday if you find yourself in the right spot at the right time.

@@adinadamian5634 Hopefully you're right, I've never met any celebrities in my life honestly but I'm still hopeful that I do one day.

14:43

True, man. They all (us too!!) were a lot younger then, with a lot more to prove to each other in terms of rivalry. Confidence has grown in tandem with perspective. I was astounded when I saw this in the list: I have LOVED both these bands since the mid 80's, and it warms my heart that these 2 old soldiers are friends.

Oh wow!!!! People mature and grow up!! That’s astounding!! I don’t I just get older and more bitter😜

He said thrash was boring. I may have read that on Metal Sludge.

Show me one person that Sixx has talked good about and I'll show you where he's talked trashed about them.

Considering Nikki died in 1987 too lmao

@@seanoconnor5730 I forgot about that! Didn't Nikki also o.d. in 84?

@@davedecker1725 yes. But he didn't get medical attention then. He just woke up in a dumpster. Surprised they didn't add that the the movie. They should have added some stuff from the Heroin Diaries too

@@seanoconnor5730 Or when Nikki ran Stark naked a into the main middle of the street brandishing a crack pipe during the Northridge earthquake?🤣🤣🤣

My 5 year niece love seek and destroy 😄 she calls it the crazy song 😂

It's from his RADIO show. Video isn't required for an insightful conversation. Sit back. Relax. Listen. Enjoy. :)

Matt Rock right, we know what Papa Het and NIKKI look like

Matt Rock - Exactly, dude. It is a radio show. I get SO frustrated when see comments of people (kids, of course) essentially demanding video for every freaking radio show, radio clip, podcast..etc. It drives me crazy. They should consider themselves fortunate that they have instant access to such a great radio show with such an amazing interview. ..Frig, I'm only 35. But when I was younger, I would have freaking killed for a radio show like Sixx Sense. I remember when radio was all we had. I used to sit with my FM radio on, with a cassette tape queued, at the ready to record new songs off of the radio. Now, kids just have to push a couple of buttons on the computer...or even phone (which is essentially a handheld computer) and instantly, they have access to any song that was ever recorded. The kids born after 95 or 96 don't know any different. They were born into the era of 'home internet" hehe. I remember going to my mom's office at a Canadian university in the early 90's because she had access to the internet at work. This was before Internet Explorer or Netscape Web Browsers even existed. We used programs like Gopher, IRC, Mosiac, FTP Servers and Newgroups to access TEXT and a few pictures. haha. I feel old..but that was only 20 years ago. ...by 94 or 95, ISP's started popping up and we could now access the internet at home with 14.4 modems. These kids couldn't deal with downloading at a max speed of 1.4 KBPS haaahha 1.4 MBPS would driver them crazy. I remember getting my first 28.8 modem and thinking that I had scored it big. ...sorry about the rant. But it was really fun to reminisce and recall my first days on the internet. Besides, I know how to properly type, so typing this whole thing might have taken me 1 or 2 minutes. Frig, I remember taking a typing class where we learned how to type on a typewriter in highschool. The next year, we took QBasic programming classes hahaha Kids today don't even have to learn how to write HTML if they want to make a webpage. Frig. ..so kids, stop complaining about the lack of video and actually slow down and listen to a RADIO SHOW. I dig radio. I miss normal radio.

I know right? It said (Audio) I wonder why it didn't have video.. WTF right?

Maria Karenina I’m with you sista!

Dude!! See the picture next to my comments, that's me in the center at the Denver show on 6/7/17. Such a bad ass night!

He did actually. A PhD in astrophysics!

Marvin Loverkamp That was fake news 😊
