MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx spoke with Pennlive.com recently about a number of topics. A few excerpts from the chat follow:

Pennlive.com: On bringing out their typically over-the-top stage show during a recession:

Sixx: "We want to give you the biggest show for the money. People need a bigger show; they need to get their money's worth. I want people to walk away and go, 'It's really hard right now financially, but I'm really glad I went to the show because I needed to cut loose.'"

Pennlive.com: On Crüe's longevity:

Sixx: "Every time we release a record, you get really good songs. Every time we play live, you get a great show. We just refuse to die. We're still here doing what I believe to be good work."
