During a recent interview with Rockklassiker, Nikki Sixx was asked for his opinion on the new avatar version of KISS. He also confirmed that he would be open to the possibility of Mötley Crüe avatars “when the time is right.”
Sixx said the following:
“I love technology. I think as long as it’s coming from an artist that says, ‘I have something I wanna do and this technology is gonna help.’ Like with [Mötley Crüe’s latest] video ‘Dogs Of War’. When I think of our first video, I don’t know how much… The video maybe cost a thousand dollars. There was no MTV at the time, so it was, like, how can we shoot a video that when they talk about us on the news when we tour…? [We] used to have a lot of local news stations that would promote artists coming through town — comedians, country, rock, whatever — so we wanted to have a calling card. And we were lighting me on fire on stage at the time and Mick [Mars] puked up some blood. And it was just, like, ‘Fuck it. Let’s just throw everything in there.’ And that was what we did to get fans to see what we wanna be represented as. The same as ‘Dogs Of War.’
I don’t know what the future holds. We did some stuff with holograms years ago before the technology was really fleshed out. At some point, we’re not gonna be here anymore. I mean, not to be a Debbie Downer, but it’s just not gonna happen. And how great for your band, or whatever it is that you do, to be able to go forward for generations and generations. So I think when the time is right, put us in a coffin and fire up those avatars.”
