With so much access to social media, fans can connect to their favourite bands by just following their tweets and liking their page. Back in the days prior to social media, publicists modified the script of rockstars being interviewed and censored their rants so as to not alienate fans or fellow musicians.
But our voyeur side often gets the better of us and when it's so easy to comment on your idol's rant, things can get out of hand if a Facebook page isn't moderated. It seems that has occurred today on the page of MOTLEY CRUE bass player, Nikki Sixx. Sixx is a champion for connecting with fans and he's bloody good at it too. But tonight, as he often does, he shared a personal moment about a dream that he had that has sent the page into meltdown.
Nikki Sixx: "Just woke from a dream and was thinking so many of you looked the other way when MJ was caught with his hand in the coffee jar of underage kids and thought,,,thank good its not true,,,then I realized the moral majority is brainwashed and the pedophile died of a drug overdose ending in another cover up GOD BLESS THE SPIN DOCTORS...life is weird...back to sleep...maybe a dream of honesty?"
Of course, Sixx is referring to Michael Jackson and that court case many years ago. This sent his fans and Facebook page into overdrive. Some accused Sixx of being drunk and on drugs again, some said that his Facebook page had been hacked and some accused Sixx of not speaking his mind when Michael Jackson was alive. And a multitude of loyal fans backed him up.
Pages of comments later, Sixx replied: "10 YEARS SOBER, FATHER OF 4, MULTIPLE BUSINESSES, SUCCESSFUL IN ALL MY VENTURES (MOTLEY, SIXX AM, SIXX SENSE, PHOTOGRAPHER & ROYAL UNDERGROUND). HOW DARE YOU INSULT ME BY SAYING I AM ON DRUGS OR DRINKING FOR HAVING AN OPINION ABOUT A CREEP FUCK WHO IN MY OPINION RAPED CHILDREN. LAST I CHECKED WE WERE IN AMERICA, AND I AM NKKI SIXX OF MOTLEY CRUE AND DON'T TAKE ORDERS FROM KNOW BODY. READ MY BOOKS, LISTEN TO THE LYRICS."
Whether it is typical Sixx style and voicing his opinion (and you've got to respect someone who stands by what they believe in) or whether someone has hacked the page, it's interesting to read the reactions of fans. No doubt Michael Jackson fans will be blazing a trail to Sixx's Facebook page to have their say too.
And maybe he's just trying to point out the "Lies of the Beautiful People."
