After attending the Phoenix, AZ show on The Tour with KISS and MÖTLEY CRÜE, a fan asked Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx, why no encore? Nikki replied:

"Thank you for coming to the show. To answer your question, we used to do the old encore schtick most bands still do but decided it was sorta a rip off to fans. Why not add more to the show and end it like a theatre production than go sit behind the amps and make people clap for us to come back out and play... We prefer to give 100% from start to finish and end it with it with one big ass bang... Make sense?"
