Nikki Sixx said he was all in favor of Motley Crue continuing as avatars once the real-life band members are gone. The bassist argued that, as long as certain values were assured, it represented an opportunity to keep their music alive for decades to come. “I love technology,” Sixx told Swedish radio station Rockklassiker in a recent interview. “I think [it’s good] as long as it’s coming from an artist that says, ‘I have something I wanna do and this technology is gonna help.’” READ MORE: The Top 30 Hair Metal Albums He added: “At some point, we’re not gonna be here anymore.… not to be a Debbi...

Following his own comments and ones made by Sepultura‘s Andreas Kisser, Max Cavalera has clarified those remarks in a new interview with Metal Injection. Last month (June) both Cavalera and Kisser appeared to warm up to the idea of some sort of reunion, perhaps all getting together onstage again at the final show of Sepultura’s farewell tour. For nearly 30 years, this has been one of the most desired reunions in all of metal. And while sentiments were cozier than ever before, Cavalera convincingly puts this idea back on ice when talking to Metal Injection. “The more the time passes by, the mor...

Much of it has to do with his own artistic vision. The discussion initially started with a question about producing his own music, with Malmsteen sharing his thoughts on working with producers rather than self-producing. “I’m not knocking producers. I think they’ve done a lot of things for a lot of bands,” stated the guitarist at one point, praisin...

Is Lars Ulrich playing better live now? That’s a question James Hetfield addressed on a recent episode of The Metallica Report podcast. Co-host and So What! fan club magazine editor Steffan Chirazi suggests that Ulrich has been playing some of his best shows of the last 10-20 years, asking Hetfield if he agrees with that sentiment. “I’d say this tour in general — the last two years — we’ve been building up to it,” Papa Het begins, asserting, “[He’s] absolutely playing great.” Ulrich’s ability to reliably keep time live has been a hot topic throughout his career, but performance is one part of ...
