Broward Palm Beach's New Times has posted a continuation of their interview with MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist and author Nikki Sixx. Excerpts follow:

New Times: Crüe was honored this year with a Lifetime Achievement Award by Revolver magazine, and you will be honoured with another one (in August) at the SunsetStrip Music Festival. Since Crüe has always been anti-establishment, how does it feel to get recognition from the industry?

Nikki Sixx: "It's nice, you know. I don't really pay much attention to it. It's nice to get them. It's not really as big for me; what's big is the show, the fans, the output of energy. I've never heard a guy get a Grammy and say, I don't accept this Grammy, goddamn it. Fuck, man, we work our asses off, but in the end it doesn't really matter. We're still together.”

New Times: I wanted to ask about your collaboration with CEE-LO for with the mashup of ‘Girl Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)’ and ‘Fuck You’.

Nikki Sixx: “It's funny, cause I was at an event, and there were these kids, and they were playing in a band, they were playing [sings] "Girl, don't go away mad..." and was like, no way, and I looked at my girlfriend, and I was like, this is one of our songs. And then they started doing the Cee-Lo thing, and I was like, "Oh, my God, it's the same exact chords." Then Tommy, in minutes, texted me: "Dude, wouldn't it be great if we mashed up 'Forget You' and 'Don't Go Away Mad' live?" And I go, "Dude, I'm sitting in this place and just heard someone play it," and so, we went to rehearsal, and we dropped it in after a second chorus, and we just started playing it live that way. And Tommy had run into Cee-Lo and hit him up and said, "Hey dude, do you want to go to the Hollywood Bowl?" He's a huge Mötley Crüe fan. So he came down and did it on stage with us -- it was really a blast. He's a nice dude. Super talented. You've got some talent out there, on the top level. For me, LADY GAGA is like MADONNA on steroids and ELTON JOHN with boobs and high heels - but Elton John actually did high heels too - but to me, it's like super-fucking-talented, pushing the envelope. Cee-Lo at the Grammys, he came out in that like freaky feathered outfit, and he had Gwyneth Paltrow singing with him; he's like pushing it GNARLS BARKLEY, and I'm like, come on dude, we need some fucking rock bands that are doing that too. You know?”
