DESCRIPTION:
John talks about his relationships with each member of Motley Crue – Tommy Lee, Nikki Sixx, and Mick Mars.
TRANSCRIPTION:
Were you closest to Mick (Mars) in the band? I know he said before that his favorite Motley album is the ’94 album.
To be honest with you, Mick moved to Nashville in maybe 2014/2015. We just discussed a bunch of Motley shit. He was under the impression that I said this, or I did that. I was under the impression that he did this, and he said that. Once we figured out that neither one of us said what the other thought, Mick and I have been great with each other.
I think, at the time, when I was in the band, I was probably, maybe just a smidgen more close to Tommy (Lee) because Tommy and I toured together. We were in the same bus together. It was just me and Tommy in a bus.
And what, Mick and Nikki in the other?
Yes, and only because Tommy and I were the only drinkers in the band. We were more apt to go out to a nightclub together. But it was funny, I had a weird relationship with each guy in the band. Nikki (Sixx) and I were from the “Ok, we’re going to write lyrics together,” and Nikki was awesome. He was amazing to me when I first joined. But we spent a lot of time together creating shit. Tommy and I also spent a lot of time creating stuff, but just hanging out.
Then I went through a divorce, and I was going to get a condo or an apartment or something, and Mick goes, “Dude, I got a guest house, just stay at my place.” I ended up living with Mick. So, I had a little bit of a separate thing with each guy. But it’s funny, I was kind of like a sounding board for all three of them. So, when I was with Mick, I would say something crazy Nikki or Tommy did, and Mick, in that tone that he has in his voice, would go, “Well, now you know what I’ve dealt with for the last fifteen years with those boneheads.” If I was talking to Tommy, he would talk about Mick and Nikki. Then when I was with Nikki, he would have things to say about Tommy and Mick. Things that they were doing right or wrong. So, I was just kind of floating.
Tommy and I had a shit-ton of fun together. We toured together. We drank together. There were times that I went over – I called it the black hole – I would go over to Tommy’s at noon just to say, “Hey,” and I would get home the next morning at 10 AM. We would just sit there drinking and listening to music. So, I think I was a little closer to Tommy than the other guys, but not by much.
Are there any standout moments on the tour bus with him?
Dude, life on a tour bus with Tommy is just one continuous standout moment. That guy will, and I don’t mean this as a slag, he will eternally be energy, eight-year-old, just curious about everything…I’m only going around once, so I’m going to cram as much as I can into this life. And I got to appreciate it. I love Tommy. That’s the only thing I miss about how things turned out with us is that, more than anything, I felt like I lost a couple of cool friends.
The Mars Volta:
VIGIL DISPONIBLE AHORA
Lyrics:
I know the way he makes you hide
Even when the dose is fight or flight
And the obits wait for a perfect name
Clean out all the webs he left behind
And if you want, I could bury him out
By the salt on sea, in an empty grave
The past has a way of coming clean
If I didn’t know any better
I could have sworn you said,
“There will come a day for his reckoning”
It’s the want of the weight when it crushed
All the centrifugal ways our lives fall in and out of place
One day you’re going to see
That everybody who claimed that you were loved have left
Because one by one they would disappear
Claiming all your wolves were symptoms of deceit
“Don’t let your tongue slit your throat!”
That’s what they always said
This is one last chance that you’ve got to take
It’s the want of the weight when it crushed
All the centrifugal ways our lives fall in and out of place
Underneath all your doubt laid a serpents egg
Hissing his way out
You were told,
Severed tongues can’t fall onto their swords
Because you’re the only voice that calls
It’s the want of the weight when it crushed
All the centrifugal ways our lives fall in and out of place
It’s the want of the weight and the rush of the centrifugal fate we all want to escape

In Horseshoes and Hand Grenades, John Corabi recounts his life from the mean streets of Philadelphia to the Sunset Strip. Take a look behind the scenes at Corabi’s time fronting Mötley Crüe, Union, and The Dead Daisies, as well as his time playing rhythm guitar with Ratt and even his stint as a long-haul trucker. Whether it’s detailing his parents difficult divorce, his family’s dark history of abuse, his run-in with a serial killer, or simply the best way to arrive at a wedding—which maybe is by helicopter and maybe it isn’t—he pulls no punches and outlines the good and bad of it all in this raucous autobiography.
John Corabi: Record store signing this Friday (4/8) at 6pm before the show at Hobart Art Theater.

John Corabi,
I’m really excited about the Deko re-release of the self-titled Union record, and our second effort “The Blue Room!!!” They did a great job with the artwork and packaging, and the records sound great!!! I’m just so happy for all the Union fans around the world to finally have these long-hidden gems at their disposal, instead of having to search high and low on the internet!!!! Enjoy the music, and thank you for all the love and support!!!!!” Peace, Crabby. Bruce Kulick continues, “The vinyl reissues of UNION, give our fans a fresh listen to our music. Hearing the layers of detail and devotion we gave each song, will be mind-blowing for them. The chemistry of this band rises to a new level that will not only impress our fans, it will make the curious converts to the music. It’s a proud moment for John, Brent, Jamie, and I to share with the world.”
Deko Entertainment president Bruce Pucciarello comments on this first partnership with Blackbird Entertainment on their new re-issue initiative, “We are super stoked that Blackbird partnered with Deko to make this available again. Union is a case study in pound-the-pavement rock and roll. If you want soulfulness and a groove in your fist pump, it’s all here folks.”

John Corabi: Ok….just my opinion here on something that’s been bugging me. The Pam and Tommy miniseries on Hulu is so full of bullshit, it’s ridiculous!!!! I can honestly say about 98% of this “FICTIONAL” take on T&P’s life is CRIMINAL. I shared 5 years of my life with Tommy and although it was at times INSANITY it’s sooooo overblown in this SHIT they call TV entertainment! Tommy never walked around in a Speedo, didn’t act at all the way they portray him, and now I see that Third Eye Blind “bumps” us from a studio, because they’re more relevant???? DID NOT HAPPEN…!!! Apparently, HULU and all involved in this crock of shit don’t care about how Pam may feel to have to relive this. Or how Tommy’s new wife may feel. Or how about Tommy’s boys seeing this completely overblown story about their parents!!! Shame on EVERYONE involved…🖕🖕🖕🖕
