MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx has called Sully Erna a “baby” in response to the GODSMACK frontman’s recent interview in which he slammed Sixx as “an old, fat washed-up has-been” who “treats people like shit.”
The tension between Erna and Sixx began when they clashed during the 2009 “Crüe Fest 2” tour, on which GODSMACK was a support act and CRÜE was the headliner. GODSMACK later wrote the song “Cryin’ Like A Bitch” about Nikki, fueling what has now become a six-year feud.
During an appearance on the latest installment of HATEBREED frontman Jamey Jasta’s official podcast, “The Jasta Show”, Erna stated about Sixx: “I’ll say it straight out: I’ve never met a bigger fucking dick in my life than Nikki Sixx. He’s a douchebag. He’s straight-up a fucking douche, and I don’t give a fuck what he says. He knows exactly where I am, and he knows exactly how he can find me anytime that motherfucker has the balls to come and look me up. And I’ll say it straight out on your podcast. He’s a dick, man. He just treats people like shit.”
While taking part in an impromptu question-and-answer session with his followers on Facebook earlier today (Monday, November 30), Sixx was asked for his “response to Sully Erna’s latest rants.” Nikki gave a two-word answer: “Poor baby.”
Back in August 2014, Nikki claimed that he was approached by a publicist for GODSMACK saying that the Erna-led band really wanted to appear on the MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist’s “Sixx Sense With Nikki Sixx” syndicated radio program. Nikki recalled: “I [told the publicist], ‘Over my dead [expletive] body.’ And they said, ‘Well, you know, they wanna be on the show because their record’s coming out.’ And I go, ‘Did you forget the fact that they wrote a song about me called ‘Cryin’ Like A Bitch’ and that there’s probably 15 festivals that MÖTLEY CRÜE is headlining and that we said if GODSMACK’s on ‘em, we’re not doing them? And that was just the beginning of my revenge. And that I take every opportunity to slander them and be very immature? And then they wanna be on the show? Dude, have some credibility. I mean, Jesus Christ! I’m so embarrassed for you. At least you can go, ‘We’ve got a new record and we don’t wanna be on that [expletive]’s radio show.” [And he said], ‘Well, we actually need some help now.'”
Three years earlier, Sixx had the following to say regarding Erna’s complaints about how GODSMACK was treated on the Crüe Fest 2 tour, “Every person — from road crew, fans and even all the bands on the tour (including [Sully‘s] band) — was so happy, but [Erna] just seems to be crying like a bitch,” Sixx replied. “Funny, even his manager told me he’s an asshole… Maybe the problem is just in his head… I got no problem with him.”
