Mötley Crüe’s Nikki Sixx recently addressed the band’s use of backing tracks while responding to a fan on social media. According to him, the group use recordings to enhance their sound, but they still “play 100% live.” Sixx said the following:

“Since we saw Queen using some to help during the song ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ live, we understood that we could bring in elements that we could not do live like orchestras, saxophones, etc., etc. and sync them up with what we are playing and we do play 100% live. And it’s better for the fans and we enjoy being able to do what we did in the Studio live. It’s a win win for us.”
