Nicki Sixx says it was fans that prompted tour with Poison
Nicki Sixx, Motley Crue star would never have hit the road the rockers Poison had it not been for the fans of both groups screaming for a joint trek.
The bassist admits he and his bandmates were not thinking Bret Michaels' band when they started planning for a multi-group 2011 summer tour last year and it was their fans that made the see what a hit it would be.
Sixx tells the Atlanta Journal-Constitution: "When the concept to do something this summer came up, the economy is in such a bad state that we were going, 'How can we do something that is different and the fans feel like they're getting a bang for their buck?'
"It was a matter of filling in the blank. Fans were really pushing for Poison and we were like, 'They were something that happened after us'. It wasn't really what I or the band wanted to do, but you have to listen to the fans."
Motley Crue and Poison are now on the road with the New York Dolls, the glam punk icons.
