Motley Crue’s Nikki Sixx Rips Dave Mustaine Over Shooting Conspiracy Theory

____ Motley Crue‘s Nikki Sixx is just one of the rockers taking Mustaine to task over his comments, explaining in a new Facebook posting:

“Dave Mustaine is f—ing a–hole. I can’t even imagine how deep this cuts the victims families of these shootings. He owes every family an apology as well as our great country. Hey Dave if you think America is turning into ‘Nazi America’ as you are quoted saying … Then move the f— out…”


Motley Crue has certainly stepped up for the shooting victims in Aurora, Colo., recently teaming with tour mates Kiss to offer $100,000 for a relief fund. Sixx stated at the time, “Following the heartbreaking news of the senseless shootings in Colorado we wanted to do something to help the families and victims. We bonded together with our tour partners and friends Kiss to donate money, but we also hope it inspires others to do the same, no matter how big or small.”

Motley Crue, but kudos to Nikki Sixx for calling out Dave Mustaine.

And he's right...........if Dave, Ted "Poopypants" Nugent, etc., all think America is such a horrible, awful place, then I've got some great news they might be interested in hearing!

There's a new invention I read about just the other day. Apparently, it's called an "airplane", and with this "airplane", which you can find some place called an "airport", you can get on the "airplane", and fly anywhere in the world you want! Sounds really cool, IMHO.

It was contemptible and ignorant, vile and pointless. His comments were just ugly bile based on lies, lies spewed by morons to morons, and enjoyed by morons who like to tell and re-tell it to each other in a kind of self-renewing, perpetual motion circle jerk.

It is quite ironic that Dave Mustaine is talking like a gun nut today when he produced what may be the most anti-gun music video ever.

Megadeth has not always been right-wing and before Dave Mustaine "found Jesus" they were actually quite progressive.

I grew up with Megadeth, and back when I was in highschool they were actually a good band with good politics. I will never understand what happened to Dave Mustaine, he changed in a very bad way. As soon as his politics changed his music started to suck as well, proof that right-wing politics make people crappy musicians. I am glad he was able to get off the drugs, but I can not understand why his brain is far more messed up now than it was when he was on drugs.

He is like George W. Bush, he turned to the "Reborn-again" movement to get over his addictions. I don't know why some people think they cannot get over addictions without becoming religious nuts. But that is essentially what happened to Dave Mustaine.

Far as I'm concerned, he and Chris Poland are the best guitar tandem I've ever seen. I've dropped quite a few dollars on Megadeth albums and concerts, and if he wasn't such a fucking asshole, I'd see Megadeth every time they're in town. But he is one, and he's done getting my dollars. And that's that.

What happened to him? My guess is he thinks god gave him permission to be a racist asshole. Not an uncommon phenomenon, unfortunately.

had said..


"Mustaine first made headlines by telling an audience in Singapore, “Back in my country, my president [makes puking sign with his finger in his mouth], he’s trying to pass a gun ban, so he’s staging all of these murders. Like the ‘Fast And Furious’ thing down at the border; [the massacre in] Aurora, Colo., all the people that were killed there; and now the beautiful people at the Sikh temple [near Milwaukee. I was talking to J.D., our promoter here tonight … What a great guy. I was saying, ‘I don’t know where I’m gonna live if America keeps going the way it’s going because it looks like it’s turning into Nazi America. And he [J.D.] said, ‘Move down here to Singapore.’”

Excellent Advice from Nikki Sixx! Yeah, ya better move to Singapore, Mustaine, 'cause PBO's gonna Win Again.

Dave is a fucking weak minded asshole. He traded his heroin crutch for a Jesus freak right wing psycho crutch. He always needs some bullshit to lean on, he's a punk.

Sixx beat his addiction on his own without turning to that religion bullshit and retained his sanity.

He's also aged much more gracefully.

Mustaine has always been an asshole. But it used to only be in the anti-social bad-boy metal way.

Now I'm on full side with Metallica and James Hetfield for kicking him out all those years ago.

He was more "righteous" when he was on heroine. Who knows, perhaps those who were "treating" him for his addiction were also messing with his mind about how his past music was wrong as well.

One thing I noticed while watching "Some kind of Monster"....Dave neve did lose his ego. Here he is, a Heavy Metal artist on his own, with his own accomplishments, his own success.....and yet he still is pertrubed about being cut from Metallica? There have been many band members who left/cut from what became a successful band and regretted everything. But Dave despite this, still became a Heavy Metal star...if anything, that says Metallica lost out...not him.

He may have kicked his drug problem....but there is still plenty more baggage sadly with him.
