Nikki Sixx has fired back at "washed-up," "small-career people" for "coming out of the woodwork" following the release of MÖTLEY CRÜE's biopic "The Dirt".

He also said that has conducted his personal life in a "completely opposite" way to how the members of MÖTLEY CRÜE have, adding that he chose his path "because I didn't see the one they were on as righteous."
