Nikki Sixx makes confusing contradiction regarding Mötley Crüe’s live set-up: “You were lied to”Mötley Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx has admitted that the band uses backing tracks live, but has also insisted that they play “100% live”. Sixx addressed the band’s live set-up in answer to mounting rumours that their material isn’t fully played live. The musician responded to a fan via X who asked, outright, why the Los Angeles outfit uses backing tracks. However, Sixx quickly went on to add that Mötley Crüe “do play 100% live and it’s better for the fans and we enjoy being able to do what we did in the Studio live. In response to another fan, who wrote pointedly, “Why don’t you guys play live?”
