Motley Crue’s Nikki Sixx Returns to Seattle, WA – T-Mobile Park 2022 – The Stadium Tour – PHOTOS/VIDEO

Nikki Sixx:

I remember going to see bands play here in Seattle as a teenager with a head full of ideas and dreams in the ’70s. So many concerts at the Paramount Theatre which opened in 1928. Slept many nights on the sidewalk outside so we would be the first to get tickets. Worked odd jobs, sold weed and hustled for money and got our clothes from thrift stores and bargain bins.

Years later, on the Shout at The Devil Toür, we played the Paramount. Blew my mind to play the same place I saw Queen, Rush, T Rex, Kiss and many, many others as they were starting out. All those bands were about solid songwriting and kick ass shows. I guess the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree when you’re talking influence.

SEE YOU TOMORROW (8/31) BTW This isn’t a life that’s handed to you. You have to fight tooth and nail for every scrap – And never quit until you die. That’s why we’re called LIFERs. Thank you, Seattle, for lighting that fire.

Tomorrow, we play the T-Mobile Park stadium 🏟
