Nikki tweeted last night : "So @ Godsmack @ begged to be in Sixxsense to promote her new album Good fucking luck phonebooths tours Whos crying like a bitch now .. ? "
Comments Sixx were undoubtedly fueled by his ongoing war of words with GODSMACK frontman Sully Erna , who apparently wrote the song of the band " Cryin 'Like A Bitch" on Sixx after the two players clashed during the Crüe 2009 Fest 2 tour , which Godsmack was a support act and Crüe was the headliner.
When asked directly if the song was written about Sixx , Erna told Albany radio station Q103 New York, "It's hard for me not to answer that question, because as honest as I would be , the other side of me does not want to give anyone the additional exposure , even if it is negative. So, I'll plead the fifth. "
In May 2011, Sixx had the following to say regarding complaints Erna about Godsmack was treated in the tour Crüe Fest 2 : " Every person - from road crew , fans and even all the bands on the tour ( including band [ Sully ] ) - was so happy, but [ Erna ] just seems to be crying like a bitch , " Sixx said . " Funny, even his manager told me that he is an idiot ... Maybe the problem is just in your head ... I have no problem with it. "
Erna admitted in a webisode for album of the band of fifth studio album, "The Oracle”, that “Cryin 'Like a Bitch “was inspired by the events of Crüe Fest 2. Sully told Artisan News Service at the time, "It has definitely been some rock - star garbage on this tour we've never seen in our career ...
This was the first time I felt like, ' If you know what to be some people who are going to treat others a certain way, then I'll go out there every night and ... make sure that we look old and fat, and go home with a nice big fat check. "
Samples of some of the lyrics in "Cryin 'Like A Bitch" include lines like: “Strut on by like a king / Telling everybody they know nothing / Long lived what you thought you were / Time is not more on their side "
Speaking to Tricia Weight (aka A Geek Girl ) "Interviews From The Edge" during the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival 2011 , Godsmack drummer Shannon Larkin said about the inspiration for " Cryin 'Like A Bitch" , " Various things really happened [ during the tour ] , really.
“You know, the rest of the band ... we get along very well with [other members of Motley Crue ] Mick Mars , Tommy Lee. Along very well with me Nikki Sixx. Fact, he had called me once and catering said I like to play with your SIXX: ‘Yeah! ' AM [ side project ] , on record and I was like ,
but this was, like, three weeks after the tour, and then four weeks later , he and Sully had this clash . Emerged and safety [Mötley Crüe], I think, more than Nikki, but you know, Nikki is the leader of the band.
"Basically, [it had to do with her] safety throws us off the stage ... whatever ... It was a lot of shit that none of us really got into. Mötley Crüe But kind of acted like that.... Well, their safety in any case ...
it was real strange with our clients get between racks, just like our customers might want to look at Mötley Crüe. Guests were there to see us and do not give a shit Mötley Crue. Mötley Crüe and is a legendary band that we all respect.
“When I was 17, I had ' Shout at the Devil ' and all that, hell yeah! But only some of us with some facade that they think our guests would be star struck by them. And half the time these were people I've known for 30 years - [and] cannot even get backstage because Mötley Crüe does not want people back or whatever.
“So that's where the bad blood came. Sully and then runs his mouth, Nikki runs his mouth ... Both are great rock stars. Next thing you know, it's a battle in the press. "
