Motley never once sat down and said, 'Well, the music scene's changing. We need to make this record a little darker or heavier musically or lyrically.' It was just four guys sitting in a room like a bunch of 16-year-olds in a garage and jamming on riffs.

Doug Aldrich and I grew up in Philadelphia together, and Doug used to come and see a cover band that I was in. He was, like, 15 or 16, and I was, like, 18, 19.

The thing I wasn't prepared for was when I wasn't in Motley Crue anymore. 'Cause as much as my phone was ringing, it stopped ringing.

Nothing irritates me more than going to see an artist and paying all this money and then have them rant about very specific political opinions.
-
I have fans that write to me and say, 'Why do you have those blonde streaks in the front of your hair?' And I'm like, 'It's not blonde. It's grey.'
-
It's weird, for me as a fan, to have a fan tell me that I'm their favorite singer. It's still a little awkward for me. I love to hear it, but I don't know how to respond to it. It's a very awkward thing to interpret what somebody else sees in me.

I truly believe that everything happens for a reason.
-
I only ever did one hotel room because at the end of the tour, I had a little less money than the rest of the guys, and the tour manager said, 'You remember that hotel room you destroyed in Iowa? Well, we had to pay for it.' And I was like, 'Ooooh. That's how it works.'

I think we had kind of a die-hard fan base when it came out, but a lot of the people were angry with Motley for getting rid of Vince, or Vince leaving or whatever happened.

Even Nikki with Sixx:A.M., I wish you the best of luck.

With technology being the way that it is right now with Pro Tools and all that other stuff, more and more people are recording stuff at home and just utilizing Youtube and Facebook.
-
I love trying new things and experimenting with instruments and sounds.
-
Everything happens for a reason. Like, I kind of hear people go, 'Man, you've been in a lot of bands.' Yes, I have. I've also been married several times, too, and every time I get into something, I think, 'This is the one.' I think that's just human nature.
-
I don't like doing what people would expect of me.
-
I think the thing with 'Rise Up,' something that really does bug me, is that America has become very divided.
-
I have nothing against Vince Neil at all.
-
We did wanna change the name. We were actually putting names in a hat. It was the people making an income off Motley Crue that talked us out of it. The booking agent was getting them between a half a million and a million dollars a show as Motley Crue. Then there was the manager who got 10 to 15 percent off Motley Crue.
-
Every band has an 'off' night once in a while - that's gonna happen.
-
Pretty much every record I've ever done, I can go back and listen to them and be proud. I'm proud of everything I've done.
-
I had a great run with Ratt.
-
I love giving you my opinion, but I don't like taking sides.
-
The bands that do well don't get caught up in fads; they are just true to themselves.
-
To be quite honest with you, a lot of people don't realize that Nikki Sixx and I did Brides of Destruction after the lawsuit.

There's just some things you can't change.
