Nikki Sixx: “Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers Are Not Rock & Roll”

Mötley Crüe’s Nikki Sixx is clean and sober these days — and taking a prominent position as a spokesman for National Recovery Month — but if he doesn’t think something is rock & roll, he’ll still make some noise about it. While praising Crüe Fest tourmates Papa Roach and Buckcherry for living up to the name in both music and personality, Sixx took some shots at a pair of recent chart-toppers.

“There’s things that I see where I go, ‘Rock Star energy drink? Give a fucking break,’” Sixx says. “There’s no rock stars involved in this. There’s a lot of shit out there where people are calling it ‘rock.’ I went into Barnes & Noble the other day, and there’s a huge display that says ‘rock & roll,’ and it had a big thing of Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers. I went, ‘What the fuck is this?’ People are believing that shit that is not rock & roll, is not the rock lifestyle, is rock.”

While the image of Nikki Sixx in a Barnes & Noble settles in, take heart that the Crüe will be back in American arenas for a three-month tour starting in January — a month after Sixx turns 50. In the meantime, Sixx is helping commemorate National Recovery Month by offering up his Sixx:AM song “Tomorrow” from The Heroin Diaries Soundtrack as an unofficial anthem, as the track’s lyrics offer an inspiring tale of getting accountable and finding stability in recovery.

Yeah they really suck, but Sixx, Crue, and Buckcherry aren’t rock either. Papa Roach is ok but not much better.

KIND OF LIKE HOW THE CRUE ISN’T METAL.

z | 9/11/2008, 7:15 pm EST

thank you nikki
finally there is someone in the music business that has finally realized what everyone needs to realize:
MILEY CYRUS AND THE JONAS BROTHERS SUCK
so get over it all you people who say they are amazing because you need to wake up and realize that they arent
once again nikki thanks for saying this and also AMAZING job with sixx:am and all your music

Stan | 9/11/2008, 7:19 pm EST

Sorry,

But I am a souple of years older that Nikki Sixx and I have siblings and cousin who are older all the way up into their 70’s. So take it from someone older and from the real Rock and Roll age, the 50’s, Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brother are a lot closer to the Orginal Rock and roll thatn Nikki Sixx ever dream of being. Thing change and was was Rock and Roll in the 50’s is different than what is Rock and Roll in the 60’s, 70’s 80’s, 90, and present. So it appears to me that Rock is going back to it’s roots with Miley Cyrus and the Jonas brothers and he’s arfraid he’ll get left behind.

Luna | 9/11/2008, 7:25 pm EST

Dr.Feelgood is not Metal? You must listen to that Jonas/Miley rubbish.

Keith | 9/11/2008, 7:33 pm EST

Mötley Crüe have never been heavy metal…went from hard rock band to radio friendly pop rock….Roach just doesn`tlive up to what we once knew and Buckcherry, I find, is very good rock.For metal, nothin like the old shit,Slayer,Iron Maiden, Metallica, Megadeth,Black Sabbath…etc

JB | 9/11/2008, 7:37 pm EST

wish someone like Pete Townsend or Jimmy Page would come out & say this…would give it some truth…

Liz | 9/11/2008, 8:28 pm EST

Ummm….this guy has no credibility, come on.

Jonas Brothers are a solid little band…so what if they are bubblegummy? The Jonases have more true-to-its-roots rock & roll musicality (for the mainstream, mind you, not overall) than these hair bands ever did.

“Rock lifestyle” = bullsh*t. It’s supposed to be a musical genre, douche, that was where you got it wrong all along.

pr0FF3ss0r_F4rnsw0rth | 9/11/2008, 8:37 pm EST

Nikki looks like duracell barf. It’d be nice if someone who was more than borderline rock n roll himself would say something like this.

steven029 | 9/11/2008, 8:44 pm EST

exactly! its always the biggest posers who say crap like this! First off, only posers use the word “rockstar”. It’s always the people who are the furthest thing from the words true meaning who throw it around. Like we’re supposed to take any advice on what’s real “Rock” coming from this guy. He’s from a band that pushed that ‘rockstar lifestyle bullshit’ and they could’t be anymore of a joke now. They had no musical talent, ok, other than Mick and Tommy, and never wrote anything that will mean anything 10 years later or in 20 more years. Nikki, listen up, you’re D rate cheese metal jagoff. You’re not Jagger, Keith, or anybody else with any credibility nor will you ever be that’s why you gotta result to saying shit like that. Just go back to what you’re good at: Your little lame myspace tribute to your reality TV “metal” shemale whore and live in D rate harmony.

Quinn | 9/11/2008, 8:47 pm EST

I believe the correct term for the ‘music’ pumped out by the likes of miley and the jonas brothers would be ‘tard-pop’, ‘fail-pop’ or ’size 6X pop’. It’s just another trend that allows little children to feel they have good taste when they so obviously don’t.

i agree with stan | 9/11/2008, 9:08 pm EST

this asswipe niki sixx is a piece of shit who lost most of his mental abilities thru years of drug and alcohol abuse, and desperately wants some media attention for his upcoming pathetic tour…so he takes a swipe at two of the biggest rock stars of today. miley will sell more cd’s before turning 18 than motely crue sold in their entire shitty career…miley and jonas brothers are the future of rock and roll, and if you don’t like it then go and listen to those other old farts who couldn’t but a hit record nowadays…times change and niki sicks is yesterday’s garbage…take him and throw him into the dumpster with the rest of his antique rocker geeks

the truth | 9/11/2008, 9:11 pm EST

nikki sixx is a piece of shit

listenup | 9/11/2008, 9:14 pm EST

miley rocks the world!! nikki sixx is a useless has-been who rocks nothing. miley is the biggest star on the planet earth and motley crue are a bunch of useless old geeks who wish they could have a fraction of miley’s fame…

i think the music industry needs something new

kay | 9/11/2008, 9:49 pm EST

The difference between the rock of the Jonas Brothers and that of Nikki Sixx is that I enjoy listening to the Jonas Brothers. I’ll take the brothers over and of the trash rock out there. And, I’m not a teenager.

This is hilarious. He thinks his pathetic vaudeville show is or was ever rock n roll.

Motley Crue is not and never was rock n roll.

Justin | 9/11/2008, 10:20 pm EST

You people are completely out of your f’ing mind. Miley Cyrus and Jonas Bros = Rock. Anyone who where virginity bracelets should never ever ever ever be called rock. And to old man Stan I don’t kow what rock you are referring to that but there is no rock in the world that is closer to them than Crue and Nikki. These guys are what rock is all about. Obsession and Aggresion is Rock. Not bubble gum and bracelets. Crue Fans are the best Fuck the rest

LoyalSixx | 9/11/2008, 10:38 pm EST

YOU GO NIKKI (:
well ill admit i do

i totally agree…i was watching the vma’s with my gf and it pissed me off how freakin fake these people are. i bet money the jonas brothers are doing blow and having sex at this moment!!! and miley cyrus…can you say future “britney spears” she is so gonna have a sex tape…prolly on her 18th birthday if i have anything to do with it lol. and kay….your prolly the type of person that puts religion and music in the same category so heres some advice….don’t…if it wasn’t for bands like motley crue….you wouldn’t have wussy bands like the jonas brothers because they would have zero influence on todays mix of fashion and rock…the crue started that

miley cyrus and the jonas brothers are to rock as what nikki sixx and motley crue are to metal.

Cris | 9/12/2008, 1:09 am EST

I agree with sixx he is a rock n roll living dinosaur, rock now is kind of death with all new ways of doing ROCK, rock now is a f@cking product for teenagers hv money to buy any shiet industry sells…from mp3,ringtones, etc. this type of group dont hv identity…. dont hv anything to offer to the world only a new product for the market.

long live to rock n roll ….the real one

Fizz | 9/12/2008, 1:15 am EST

Got to agree with Sixx. The word “rock,” hell, the whole concept of it, has just been completely bastardized and deprived of all meaning. As for the Jonas Brothers, they strike me as being a little “afraid of girls,” so to speak. Hell, wouldn’t you be if you had to deal with a stampede of squealing tweens every time you left the bunker? Everything in cycles, people: this kiddie music is popular now, just as it was ten years ago with the Backstreet Boys and their ilk, and ten years before that with New Kids On The Block. Motley? THey should’ve called it quits in ‘92. They’ve had only a handful of good songs since their heyday.

j | 9/12/2008, 2:45 am EST

The only reason Motley Crue are even touring is because of “80’s nostalgia” money someone threw at them to do it. Nikki is even trying to be a fashion designer!! HAHAHA. And Papa Roach will ride any trend they can,dropping the yo boy baggy pants and rap rock to wear scarves and eyeliner? Must have been their “Last Resort”. That’s not Rock & Roll, it’s pathetic.

Um | 9/12/2008, 2:55 am EST

Miley And Jonas’ is all bout the money, the music business is that a BUSINESS! All these major labels care about nothing but the MONEY as long as the artists are selling they don’t care what crap kids listen to. Just as long as they buy the shit they’re selling. Da crue is poo as is Jonas and Miley too.

Mike/Houston,TX. | 9/12/2008, 6:07 am EST

Ha-ha-ha! Nikki Sixx & his Crue-mates were the pioneers of “Drag Queen Rock”…guys who dressed like women in tight spandex, teased hairdos and a ton of makeup…you couldn’t tell the guys from the girls. Their excuse for doing all that – and I remember reading this in RS way back in the 80’s – was their girlfriends thought they ‘looked cute in makeup and female garb’. Yup…such rockers’ they were.

baffled but smiling | 9/12/2008, 8:33 am EST

I saw thig songbook at the store called “Comtemporary Rock Keyboard Play Along”. After seeing the list of songs included, I wondered, “OK. Where’s the Rock?” See if you agree: Angel (Sarah McLachlan) • Beautiful (Christina Aguilera) • Because of You (Kelly Clarkson) • Don’t Know Why (Norah Jones) • Fallin’ (Alicia Keys) • Listen to Your Heart (D.H.T.) • A Thousand Miles (Vanessa Carlton) • Unfaithful (Rihanna).

You would think that a sheet music company would know the difference.

Yeah Sixx is mocking Miley’s music now, but in a few years when Miley is one hot babe, he’s gonna want to screw her and wish he hadn’t made those comments.

Music Guy | 9/12/2008, 10:50 am EST

There was a time with rock n’ roll and punk were dangerous (check out a Nirvana or Who DVD). If Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers are your definition of dangerous, than of course you’re going to disagree with Mr. Sixx. And if Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers are your definition of dangerous and/or rock n’ roll, it also tells me that you haven’t been to a lot of shows. Good rock shows that leave you speechless. And not because you spent the entire concert screaming because you think he or she is “cute.”

Rock | 9/12/2008, 10:55 am EST

The new Motley Crue is ok. At the same time, bands like Avenged Sevenfold, Trivium, Children of Bodom, Lamb of God (dare I say Metallica) are the new face of rock. The Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus are pre-fabricated rock (with no hooks or melody).

Nick G | 9/12/2008, 11:21 am EST

You hit the nail on the head.

Going into a Barnes and Noble is not rock and roll.

Schram | 9/12/2008, 12:36 pm EST

Ironic how Nikki Sixx is the one to say this…thanks to him and metal hair its come to this. For all the crue fans that don’t understand I’m simplify what I said “They all suck, even him.”

people | 9/12/2008, 12:40 pm EST

the world is going to shit,the music world that is, everyone doesnt wanna admit it cause there band or “group” are now, music died awhile ago, the bands of the past are all we got left on the real feel of Rock N Roll

Porky | 9/12/2008, 12:47 pm EST

Yeah! I agee with Joe’s coments below. Real rock and rollers dont go into Barns and Nobles! Its all rock sex drugs and rock and roll! Who give it the shit about reading. Fuck you Nikki Dixx. Go back to drugs and be a reall rocker damit! Miley and Jones Brothers rule!

Ava | 9/12/2008, 12:57 pm EST

Music and Rock are all so personal like any art, if you don’t like something, dont listen to it. Just a washed up druggie who plays the bass (thats the left field of instraments, where the worst talented go) Stick to glamrock for the over 50 crowd. Listen to Dinosaur Jr. and talk about ROCK!

juan | 9/12/2008, 12:57 pm EST

I listen to neither the Jonas Brothers or Miley Cyrus nor do I care about whether they are considered “rock” or not, but to hear someone as irrelevant as Nikki Sixx trying to comment on music is comical.

Enlightened | 9/12/2008, 1:24 pm EST

Fascinating…I did not realize that Miley and the Jonas Bros are not rock until I saw this headline. Thank you Nikki and RS!

JB & MC!!! | 9/12/2008, 1:26 pm EST

Nikki Sixx is an idiot!! What is he doing talking about rock? You sucker! I’m a huge fan of old music!!! And you my dear you were a sex provider! That’s all you were!!! You know what it’s rock!!! Jimyy Hendrix it’s rock! No you bullshit old man! You look like Miley when you were doing your videos!!! So shut up! Miley it’s really good!!! And the Jonas roooock!!!!! Have you seen the influence of Tha JB? Have you? They’re all are influced by the most amazing shit that’s ever heard! By the way that does not includes you Nikki Shit!!! I mean, The Beattles in their begining sing about love sotories and relations!!! For example: I Wanna Hold Your Hand!!! And you’re a jealous bitch, what’s the wrong thing about the Jonas Brothers being hot? If they’re hot what’s the problem? So were the awesome guys from The Who when they take the world by storm!! So shut up! And let the youth be and hear whatever we want to hear! By the way Both of them, Miley and Jonas Brothers songwrite their own thing! And the Jonas Brothers been asked , ASKED YOU SUCKER, to do a new version of The Beatles song “Hello Goodbye”!!!m What you were ever been asked to Nikki Shit? And BY THE WAY i’M 17! So don’t go and say we don’t even know about music ’cause we do!!!

Rico | 9/12/2008, 1:26 pm EST

If you think Jonas Bros is rock, put them on a bill along with the true rock bands out there like Guns N Roses, Skid Row, heck even Cinderella. I bet the bros will be bottled off by the true rock fans. Rock is raw. Not deep fried to perfection ala Jonas Bros fast food tunes. Deep inside u guys know that there is a fine line between rock music like Queen and Elton John and cock music like MIley, Jonas and the Cheetah Girls.

Mike | 9/12/2008, 1:28 pm EST

Nikki Sixx & Motley crue rule !
MOtley Crue have been around
since the 80’s & R still relevant
& Super successful !
I don’t see manufactured chesse
like Miley cyrus & the Jonas brothers being around 4 too much longer,
& by the way, Motley never claimed to B metal,
they R Rock N Roll !
& Rock N Rollers Do go to Barnes & Noble !

Sana | 9/12/2008, 1:39 pm EST

Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers are considered pop rock

The Maestro | 9/12/2008, 1:40 pm EST

Jonas and Miley lick balls. The crue brought the noise in the eighties, give it up. Rock is pure attitude, Sixx still has it.

Emma | 9/12/2008, 1:51 pm EST

The JB rules!!! I mean their no hard raw rock and stuff but they still rock! I just saw a comment that was taken for the content, lol, and the girl i suppose said something like “The Beatles sing about lovestories and stuff in their begining”, and she gave the example of I Wanna Hold Your Hand, and it’s true… I’m young and i loove the beatles!!! And it’s true in their beginig they wrote about love and those things and not for that they’re not rock!!!

Mikayla | 9/12/2008, 1:51 pm EST

And what is Rock and Roll? Sex and drugs????!?!?

They make good music, and the Jonas Brothers are an example of good rock stars :)

Nikki Sixx is not rock and roll.. he is and idiot

Mara | 9/12/2008, 1:54 pm EST

i agree. I love Miley and JB, but isn’t Rock and Roll.

Emma | 9/12/2008, 1:58 pm EST

And for the idiot guy who wrote down under that girls just listen JB ’cause they’re hot, that’s not true at all! Obviously they are, but their music kicks butts!! And for that otherone that said Mötley Crüe brought the noise to the eighties, well also brought the aweful hair in guys, and that noise you love so much became lame music… So Nikki Sixx really can’t be talking that much… And i agree with the comment that Ryan submited…

Music Guy | 9/12/2008, 2:05 pm EST

Most of the people on this board wouldn’t know rock n’ roll if it walked up and bit them. Rock n’ roll is subjective, but you still know it when you see/hear/feel it. Fight it if you want, JB and MC aren’t rock n’ roll, not in the true sense of the word. Give them a few years, and let these “artists” go through puberty before you hail them as the new Beatles or whatever. They have a ways to go before they can even sit in the same room as that title.

Fizz | 9/12/2008, 2:10 pm EST

I’m not knocking the Jonases or Miley Cyrus. But let’s be clear about what they are: good, wholesome entertainment FOR CHILDREN. They are a product of Disney, marketed specifically to kids. They will grow up, and their audience will grow out of them, in five years at the outside. It’s happened to all the other kiddie sensations. THey sell a few million records, grow up, get arrested, sue their management and never be heard from again. When your audience is primarily made up of twelve-year-old girls, you are doomed to a very short lifespan.

Scooby Douche | 9/12/2008, 2:18 pm EST

Oh yeah? Well, Rock and roll (also known as rock ‘n’ roll) is a form of music that evolved in the United States in the late 1940s and early 1950s, and quickly spread to the rest of the world.

Classic rock and roll is played with one or two electric guitars (one lead, one rhythm), a string bass or (after the mid-1950s) an electric bass guitar, and a drum kit. In the earliest rock and roll styles of the late 1940s and early 1950s, either the piano or saxophone was often the lead instrument, but these were generally replaced or supplemented by guitar in the middle to late 1950s. The beat is essentially a boogie woogie blues rhythm with an accentuated backbeat, the latter almost always provided by a snare drum.

The massive popularity and eventual worldwide view of rock and roll gave it an unprecedented social impact. Far beyond simply a musical style, rock and roll, as seen in movies and in the new medium of television, influenced lifestyles, fashion, attitudes, and language. It went on to spawn various sub-genres, often without the characteristic backbeat, that are more properly called simply ‘rock music’.

In 1951, Cleveland, Ohio disc jockey Alan Freed began playing rhythm and blues music for a multi-racial audience. Freed is credited with first using the phrase “rock and roll” to describe the music. However, the term had already been introduced to US audiences, particularly in the lyrics of many rhythm and blues records. Three different songs with the title “Rock And Roll” were recorded in the late 1940s; one by Paul Bascomb in 1947, another by Wild Bill Moore in 1948, and yet another by Doles Dickens in 1949, and the phrase was in constant use in the lyrics of R&B songs of the time. One such record where the phrase was repeated throughout the song was “Rock And Roll Blues,” recorded in 1949 by Erline “Rock And Roll” Harris. The phrase was also included in advertisements for the film Wabash Avenue, starring Betty Grable and Victor Mature. An ad for the movie that ran April 12, 1950 billed Ms. Grable as “…the first lady of rock and roll” and Wabash Avenue as “…the roaring street she rocked to fame”.

Before then, the phrase “rocking and rolling”, as secular black slang for dancing or sex, appeared on record for the first time in 1922 on Trixie Smith’s “My Man Rocks Me With One Steady Roll”. Even earlier, in 1916, the term “rocking and rolling” was used with a religious connotation, on the phonograph record “The Camp Meeting Jubilee” by an unnamed male “quartette”.[2] The word “rock” had a long history in the English language as a metaphor for “to shake up, to disturb or to incite”. In 1937, Chick Webb and Ella Fitzgerald recorded “Rock It for Me,” which included the lyric, “So won’t you satisfy my soul with the rock and roll.” “Rocking” was a term used by black gospel singers in the American South to mean something akin to spiritual rapture. By the 1940s, however, the term was used as a double entendre, ostensibly referring to dancing, but with the subtextual meaning of sex, as in Roy Brown’s “Good Rocking Tonight.” The verb “roll” was a medieval metaphor which meant “having sex”. Writers for hundreds of years have used the phrases “They had a roll in the hay” or “I rolled her in the clover”[3]. The terms were often used together (”rocking and rolling”) to describe the motion of a ship at sea, for example as used in 1934 by the Boswell Sisters in their song “Rock and Roll”[4], which was featured in the 1934 film “Transatlantic Merry-Go-Round”,[5][6] and in Buddy Jones’ “Rockin’ Rollin’ Mama” (1939). Country singer Tommy Scott was referring to the motion of a railroad train in the 1951 “Rockin and Rollin’”. [7].

Alan Freed is credited with first using the phrase “rock and roll” to describe rhythm and blues music played for a multi-racial audience. While working as a disc jockey at radio station WJW in Cleveland, he also organized the first rock and roll concert, called “The Moondog Coronation Ball” on March 21, 1952. The event proved a huge drawing card — the first event had to be ended early due to overcrowding. Thereafter, Freed organized many rock and roll shows attended by both whites and blacks, further helping to introduce African-American musical styles to a wider audience.

Rock and roll appeared at a time when racial tensions in the United States were coming to the surface. African Americans were protesting segregation of schools and public facilities. The “separate but equal” doctrine was nominally overturned by the Supreme Court in 1954, and the difficult task of enforcing this new doctrine lay ahead. This new musical form combining elements of white and black music inevitably provoked strong reactions.

After “The Moondog Coronation Ball”, the record industry soon understood that there was a white market for black music that was beyond the stylistic boundaries of rhythm and blues. Even the considerable prejudice and racial barriers could do nothing against market forces. Rock and roll was an overnight success in the U.S., making ripples across the Atlantic, and perhaps culminating in 1964 with the British Invasion.

The social effects of rock and roll were worldwide and massive. Far beyond simply a musical style, rock and roll influenced lifestyles, fashion, attitudes, and language. In addition, rock and roll may have helped the cause of the civil rights movement because both African American teens and white American teens enjoyed the music. It also birthed many other rock influenced styles. Progressive, alternative, punk, and heavy metal are just a few of the genres that sprang forth in the wake of Rock and Roll.

Mikayla asks “What is rock ‘n’ roll?” That’s the whole problem. The word has been so overused, to refer to just about everything, it has no meaning to anyone under a certain age. But let Uncle Fizz here, at the ripe oold age of 28, tell you what is NOT rock ‘n’ roll. It’s not having your daddy as your manager. It’s not having Disney monitor your every move, lest you do something that’s not G-rated and make some parents mad who won’t let their kids buy your stuff anymore. It’s not being scared to be seen with a girl (yes, I read the RS article on the Jonases, out of morbid curiosity). It’s not having the media lose their mud when you’re photographed, from the back, not wearinga shirt and covered with a sheet. And it’s not wearing purity rings.

The only ones who should decide what is rock and roll are the ones who write the songs and the presidents of the companys who sell them, Nikki Sixx is both if these .

nikki, u r so true, dude. miley & JB aint rock& roll. they r juz commercial pop teenage kids sporting sum preppy outfits and claimed by disney that they are ones. i grew up listening to the true rock & rock music in their reigning era. miley & JB r way way way far from rock.

Actually… They all grow up like those guys say… But one thing they have on their side is that they make their own songs… And it’s well known that the JB, not Miley, stared their carreers way back, when they were not on Disney.. So they kinda have their on image and way to go…

Luke | 9/12/2008, 2:39 pm EST

I’m surprised Rolling Stone decided to print this considering the magazine seems to be card carrying members of the Jonas Brothers fan club.
Losers.

hkjghmgmh | 9/12/2008, 2:46 pm EST

God Bless Nikki.

crue man | 9/12/2008, 2:51 pm EST

Nikki Sixx is totally right finally someone realizes that miley and jb arent rock n roll they are preppy little 8-13 year old shit who arent ever going to be rock n roll and nikki sixx would know about this shit the man is a genius..the only ones who are gonna say miley and jb r “rockstars” are the only ones who dont know what good music is..give them a couple of years and people will ask hows miley or hows jonas brothers..and were gonna say..huh? who the hell is that? Money

Wah Wah Exit Wound | 9/12/2008, 2:52 pm EST

“let Uncle Fizz here, at the ripe oold age of 28, tell you what is NOT rock ‘n’ roll. It’s not having your daddy as your manager.”

Beach Boys are totally a rock band. Their first manager was the Wilson’s dad. Mickey Hart’s dad was the manager for the Grateful Dead until he embezzled millions from them and ran away. So dad’s can be your manager in rock.

“It’s not having Disney monitor your every move, lest you do something that’s not G-rated and make some parents mad who won’t let their kids buy your stuff anymore.”

Rock & roll is full of people having their “every move monitored.” i.e. Elvis Presley and the Colonel; Stones up until ‘66 with Andrew Lood Oldham. Hell — when Shel Talmy found the Who he DEMANDED that they quit playing old R&B songs and forced them to write songs like his first hit band — the Kinks.

“It’s not being scared to be seen with a girl.”

Seems to me most rockarollas who get big enough to be “seen” tend to despise the act. Most celebrities aren’t fond of being photographed in their private lives.

“It’s not having the media lose their mud when you’re photographed, from the back, not wearing a shirt and covered with a sheet.”

The media always loses their mud when a famous person is photographed not all made up. It’s been done to rock & rollers throughout the years. Think of Neil Young with the big ol’ rock of cocaine in his nose during “The Last Waltz” (well that WAS edited out ’cause Neil demanded it, held up the film, so no one would know he did coke. Is that rock & roll?) Dylan has despised media attention of any sort (pretty much) since about ‘67. Especially shit about his life (i.e. he was married from 10 years in the ’80s – ’90s and NO ONE knew until 10 years later.)

“And it’s not wearing purity rings.”

Extra offense here. If Ringo isn’t one of the greatest rock drummers ever, than shite, we’re lost. “Help” was some campy-ass Disney-type shit all ’bout Ringo’s ring. What about Keith Richards — skulls are damn pretty.

Rock Addict | 9/12/2008, 2:56 pm EST

Thank you Nikki Sixx for telling the rest of the world the fuckin truth!!!!!!!. You are my idol and hero. You and the rest of The Crue created Metal in the 80’s and I thank you for that every fuckin day of my life. Crue Fest rocked. And good job getting and keeping yourself clean for more than 20 years and you write the best songs.

Cracker Jack Head | 9/12/2008, 3:02 pm EST

Okay people stop your yapping. True rock and roll is Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers. Forget the Beatles, forget the Rolling Stones, forget Led Zeppelin, etc. Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers IS rock and roll. The Wikipedia website should show pictures of Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers if you were to look up “Rock and Roll” dammit! All Hail TRUE Rock and Roll legends Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers! And God Bless Disney for giving us such great specimens of the Rock genre! LONG LIVE ROCK.. BE IT DEAD OR ALIVE! YEAH!

Gabriella! | 9/12/2008, 3:06 pm EST

Prooooops to Wah Wah Exit Wound!!!!!!!! Dude that was like the best shit ever!!! ^^ Sooooooooo good! My God! You’re trueeeeee!!!! Love You Wah Wah Exit Wound! BTW Rock Adict Crue is not METAL!

Fizz | 9/12/2008, 3:10 pm EST

Ah, the Beach Boys. Teenagers who sang about innocent teenage topics, until they fell out with Daddy and fell into drugs, sex and mental illness.

Disney controls these artists in an attempt to keep them in a state of suspended childhood. That’s why the JB’s asked the RS photographer not to run a picture of one of them with a girl.\, and why the Cyrus photo shoot was trumpeted as “exploitation of a child,” prompting commentators to wonder if ti was “too much” and what her fans would “do.”

AJ82 | 9/12/2008, 3:29 pm EST

Who else thinks that in just a few years time Nikki will be dating Miley (once she is legal), and helping the Jonas Brothers lose their purity rings to strippers named Bambi, Candy, and Star on Sunset Blvd?

Clock is ticking folks – place your bets!

Gabriella | 9/12/2008, 3:36 pm EST

hahaha!!! F boy, the Miley pics comment of “exploitation of a child” like you say were done by the same magazines that are all over the place for celeb, and the parenting councelings and stuff…. No Disney… What its the problem with disney anyway? And the beach boys were awesome! And plus what are they going to talk about, having sex with hookers when their not, or having orgies when their not? ‘cuase both of them Miley and Jonas Brothers, specially the JB songwrite their own music! So…

Little Billy | 9/12/2008, 3:38 pm EST

Hello everyone. I am 6 years old and I love rock and roll and I love Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers. My mommy buy me their CDs for me for my birthday with the Power Rangers action toys! It be great! Miley is the best and I make believe I play the guitar when I listen to Miley. I want to go see Jonas Brothers in concert but my mommy say that there be lots of bad boys and girls who go to them concerts. I know rock and rock is not that mean man Nikki Sixx . Rock is the Jonas Brothers and Miley! I love you!!!! :-)

Dan | 9/12/2008, 3:46 pm EST

AJ82!!! That was really funny!!! And i think he is going to bang with Miley and about the JB… It may!!! But i think their going to get tired of the rings and go out for themselfs and bang evryone comes in the way! An that little girl… I doubt is in fact 6 years old..

Fizz | 9/12/2008, 3:47 pm EST

I don’t doubt it, AJ. If Sixx got the chance, he’d write a few songs for either artist as well.

Aother thing: the Beach Boys comparison doesn’t reallywork, since in the early ’60’s, they were being rebellious just by playing the kind of music they did. There’s nothing at all rebellious, dangerous or edgy about the Jonases or Miley. It’s just good kids doing exactly what they’re told.

Rich | 9/12/2008, 3:57 pm EST

Miley Cyrus and Jonas Brothers lack the element of chance that defines rock music. Real Rock and Roll Bands keep fans on the edge of their seats waiting to see if the entire gig will crumble in front of their eyes or if a moment of brilliance will emerge. It’s not the sex, booze, or drugs that makes the rock star, but the unpredictability and bursts emotional expression that comes from out of that.

Gabriella | 9/12/2008, 4:11 pm EST

Well in anyway… They sing those songs ’cause that’s what their living!!! Like, they can’t sing about anything else because otherwise they would be lying! AJ82… I loved it!!! Hahaha really funny!!! lol … Rich, what makes you think that the people who listen to JB and Miley doesn’t fell free and exited, and about to burn in their seats? That’s something you don’t know because you don’t like them. JB always do different things on their shows, always. On the other side, Miley it’s a Little predictable… But at least gives really nice shows!

Kat | 9/12/2008, 4:14 pm EST

I love you Nikki! I work for a rock station and I am so tired of heraing pop artists referred to as “rock stars” they don’t know what rock is! I can’t standing seeing pop divas sporting the horns, that does not work at all!

fid | 9/12/2008, 4:22 pm EST

gosh! nikki looks like a vampire who’s just done with blood. Nikki dresses like a dracular. Just because this little kids are hittin’ music charts than he is doesn’t mean he should lay his fuckin shit bare on ‘em. All he wants is attention…. he is history and he scares even grown ups off the road.
These kids r makin it right now and will make it in the future. Fuck all who think Miley and JB will trip. All those other teenages that think they suck are only jealous! they all wish they could have just a 1/100 of their fame and money but they won’t admit the fact within themselves.
I’ll throw myself into the sea if Nikki swears he secretely doesn’t want his children or gchildren to be like JB or Miley…. that’s if he knows he has any!!!
Nikki you suck!!!
Nikki is suffering from mid life crises.
Nikki go to bed!!!
nikki, u SUCK big time.
Miley and JB, keep the flame burning!
ALL NIKKI FANS ARE BULLSHIT

mal | 9/12/2008, 4:24 pm EST

i wonder though if Sixx has even listened to Cyrus’s and Jonas Bros cds? especially for the Jonas Bros, they’re a great way for kids to learn about rock music.

Joker77 | 9/12/2008, 4:28 pm EST

I agree with him, but one problem… The Crue only made terrible pop hair metal. Not Rock. He’s as bad as they are.

Cheesecrop | 9/12/2008, 4:56 pm EST

I honestly cannot believe the idiots who get on this site and defend these Disney clowns as “rock”. I have nothing against them trying to sell to ten yr. olds if they must. Of course ten yr. old’s should still be playing w/toys and enjoying something called “childhood”, not being forced to become miniature adults. Simply put, rock is meant for young adults, namely high school and college kids, and those just outside of college. These audiences have always been the driving force in the true creativity level of the music for over 50 yrs. now. This means roughly people aged 15-25? 26? 27? whatever. It was not meant to be family entertainment that mommy & daddy could feel safe at. To the parents who have clearly forgotten how to rcok and who are dotting this site, think about whether you wanted mommy and daddy at any show in the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, or 90’s.

Los | 9/12/2008, 5:12 pm EST

Categorize music however you like it, be it shit-pop, pop-rock, hard-rock, rock & roll, however the hell you want, it doesn’t matter. Just listen to the groups/artists you like, and stop spending so much time labelling it.

Editorial note:
And for the record, regardless of what category the Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus or Motley Crue falls under, they all blow ass.

artificialred | 9/12/2008, 5:27 pm EST

Ok, so Motley Crue are waaay past thier prime but I would still rather hear them than these bullshit bands that are out these days, forced onto a moronic public that doesn’t know good music from shit!!! And that’s what Miley and the Jonas bitches are, SHIT!!!!

miley cyrus and the jonas brothers are to rock as what nikki sixx and motley crue are to metal.

summer | 9/12/2008, 7:20 pm EST

miley and the jonas brothers are POP but i love pop.

who | 9/12/2008, 7:33 pm EST

Nikki Sixx is a douchebag. DOUCHEBAG.

RS, stop giving attention to 80s hair bands and generic “modern rock”. sure, the Jonas Bros. and Miley are bubble gum stuff, but “rockers” are full of more shit.

Dammit, do more features on TV on the Radio and worthwhile, talented ARTISTS.

Kurt Cobain | 9/12/2008, 7:39 pm EST

Nikki is absolutely correct

However, is Motley Crie really that “rock” themselves?

Gemma | 9/12/2008, 7:40 pm EST

Jonas brothers are not rock stars. Neither is Miley Cyrus. They are pop stars, they play pop music.

Having an electric guitar and power chords does not make you rock. And it certainly does not make you rock and roll. “A good way for kids to learn about rock?” hmm. ya know, the rest of the music in the world hasn’t dissapeared just because it isnt on the front page of Cosmo Girl.

Try Elvis, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Bruce Springsteen, U2. I’ll bet all kids would like that music just as much- Becuase they’d like the music, not because they’re drooling over some cute flippy hair.

Bill | 9/12/2008, 7:47 pm EST

Rock = young people playing and singing simple songs backed by guitar bass and drums.

Therefore, Jonas brothers are rock. There is nothing wrong with middle-aged people playing rock music. Hopefully they get better at it. But rock belongs to the young, not to older guys (like me).

Jeremy | 9/12/2008, 7:56 pm EST

Ok lets get the record straight… Nikki is 100% right about Miley and the JB not being rock. BECAUSE THEY AREN’T!!! Of course Nikki would know tht because he has lived the lifestyle for what? the last 27 years! Miley and JB are for lil kids and like 15 yr old chicks who hopefully someday will realize how shitty tht music is and listen to the likes of Crue, AC/DC,Metallica and all the other greats of rock and metal. Miley and JB will die out just as fast as the boy bands of the late 90’s did and people like Nikki Sixx and the rest of Motley Crue will live on to rock and inspire future REAL rock bands until the day they die!!

Oh and on another note… I dont think we will EVER see either Miley or JB in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame unlike the bands I have mentioned earlier.

get-current-people | 9/12/2008, 8:05 pm EST

i’d rather run my balls through a paper shredder than listen to anything as shitty as motley crue. miley rules the world!!

Vycki Voxx | 9/12/2008, 8:56 pm EST

Sixx is right.

He’s bugged by the fact that they’re being called “legends of rock” pretty much when they are un-original pop monsters.
They have thier songs written for them. If you’re someone who look at this from sales, notice most places have a tons of thier products and can’t sell. Go look at how many albums are left on the shelves. No one’s BUYING it. It is just publizied when it shouldn’t be. Record sales are counted by how many the store needs to buy, not how much the people buy. That’s why they’re on the top of the charts when it’s all a lie.

This is why Sixx is saying something, because NO ONE ELSE WILL. No matter who this would have come from, you know they would be right.

And for those who think Sixx is some idoit, washed out hair metal rocker heroin-addict-whatever who can’t write a song to save himself. Wow, you guys either hate Motley Crue or the genre itself, stereotype them in the Poison – Bon Jovi category, or just know nothing about them at all.

Nikki Sixx is the president of his own record company and owns all his masters, the mastermind of hair metal and Motley Crue(yes, anyone who came after them ripped them off, THAT is when hair metal got stupid because it became pop), has a #2 recommended song with his band SIXX:AM on the radio along with Seether, is completely sober, has co-written a TON of songs with other bands, produces, writes, and for fucks sakes, has inspired so many people that bands like Metallica, Marilyn Manson, Bon Jovi..etc wouldn’t have ever came to be if it wasn’t for Motley Crue. The list goes on.

They don’t get payed a certain sum to go on tour, they don’t need to. They can sit on thier asses the rest of thier lives, but they go out cause they love the road and put on a better show they ever have. I’ve seen a ton of bands new and old, and they are one of the best out there now and the most sincere and I don’t know how many times I almost got knocked out in the pit of a show, and they were the only band who cared about thier fans down there and helped with security. They write thier own songs and play damn well.

Is this what we called washed out now-a-days? Because they are old?

People who are pushed to go out on tour, who can’t write good songs anymore or barley be what they were and can no-longer play, who rather be told what to do than be a leader, are washed out.

Rock and roll has been about making it despite the down slides. It’s about writing songs, playing shows, influencing many generations with someting new, and loving what you do no matter how much you get payed for it or how shitty it can be. Nikki Sixx and Motley Crue, is one of the few who have made it and do it. If they weren’t this, which I have experienced with bands and have been devestated, I wouldn’t be standing up for them.

Dave K. | 9/12/2008, 9:57 pm EST

Motley Crue might be fifteen years past their prime, but Nikki’s forgotten more than the three Jonases and Miley Cyrus combined know about rock ‘n’ roll. Doesn’t make a damn to me, since I don’t listen to this baby-food music anyway. Let the kids have it. When they all grow up, they’re going to realize how silly it is, adn those CD’s are going to be collecting dust, pulled out maybe twice a year for nostalgia trips: “Remember seventh grade …” Music like this that’s aimed so narrowly at kids has no shelf-life.

Bryan | 9/13/2008, 1:38 am EST

For those dumbasses out there, Nikki Sixx formed Motley Crue and the band themselves wrote all the songs, most of them written by Nikki.

Also, for those that believe rock band or musician is washed up simply cause they’re old, you are retarded. Do you seriously mean that the likes of Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Led Zepplin, AC/DC, Def Leppard, ZZ Top, Lynard Skynard and so many other bands important to the evolution of rock music, are all washed up. You ppl need to be shot for your ignorance.

And no, I’m not some old guy who grew up during the 70’s, I’m 19 years old and firmly believe that rock music from the 50’s to the mid-nineties is the best rock music ever. Few bands today impress me except a select few.

Fizz | 9/13/2008, 2:41 am EST

Bryan, I like a lot of the bands you mentioned, but yes, Skynyrd, Leppard, Zeppelin, Clapton are all washed-up. Skynyrd has, what, two original members, and have released nothing even close to their ’70’s greatness. Leppard’s last decent album was Adrenalize (although the new one ha a small handful of good songs) and they suck live. What has Zeppelin done lately? Hell, even Robert Plant barely wants anything to do with Zep anymore.

Dave K. | 9/13/2008, 2:43 am EST

Shit, man! Def Lep does tours with Styx and Bryan Adams, speaking of washed-up!

PhillyRocks | 9/13/2008, 5:45 am EST

Just saw Crue, best concert of the year. Forget these little 12 year olds defending “their” rock music. Funny how I never hear these teeny boppers on “Rock” stations.

Rob | 9/13/2008, 9:37 am EST

Motley Crue may be more of a traditional “rock” band, but their music is just as generic and corny as anything the Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus have produced. All three acts, IMO, lack any sort of substance.

Rockstar70 | 9/13/2008, 9:53 am EST

The bottom line is Nikki Sixx has done more in his life than all of the folks that are reading and responding to this. You may not like his music but at 50 he can still kick your ass!!

emaanjonas | 9/13/2008, 10:18 am EST

ewwwwww!not EVERY good musician has to wear mascara, you know. and, for the millionth time, why are jb and that hag used in the same sentence? i dont CARE if they’re both disney, pretty soon she wont be. her fans are ages 4-9, while jb fans are 12-20. she has people write her songs and then says she did it herself. jb has written EVERY
SINGLE ONE of their songs all by themselves. jb was jb before disney, and was picked up by disney; she is a disney product, with no talent whatsoever, and famous thanks to her daddy.

anonymous | 9/13/2008, 10:41 am EST

nobody said they are rock and roll, stupid! They are POP. And you may be putting them down on this site but I’m sure that there is one especially for putting you down!

thunderroadsupernova | 9/13/2008, 10:51 am EST

OK FIRST OFF THIS NEW POP SHIT IS GETTING AS BAD AS THE BOY BANDS WERE IS MANUFACTUTED GARBAGE NO THOUGHT JUST SOMETHING CUTE AND ALL ABOUT IMAGE, FLIP SIDE CRUE IN THE DAY WAS ABOUT IMAGE BUT ALSO RE INVENTED A GENRE. THEY WERE ROCK N ROLL ALL THE WAY. I THINK NIKKI AND SLASH SAID IT BEST NOTHING IS DANGEROUS IN ROCK N ROLL ANYMORE

Lexie | 9/13/2008, 11:33 am EST

The Jonas Brothers are very talented. And who ever “Nikki Sixx” is, is disgusting with his language, your just jealous because your a has-been and they are famous and talented and cuter than you’ll ever be, you seem to be quite burdened with their fame, huh?

real rock n roll is robert johnson, chuck berry, little richard, and guys like that. At least the jonas brothers are ‘original’ unlike led zeppelin, the stones, the who and all those other former blues and r n b cover groups turned rock groups over the last 50 years lmao

jb rox | 9/13/2008, 12:13 pm EST

jb rock & miley rox but jb are better than miley

Fizz | 9/13/2008, 1:30 pm EST

Bryan, I like a lot of the bands you mentioned, but come on. Skynyrd have, what, two original members left? And they’ve released nothing even remotely approaching their ’70’s greatness. Def Leppard’s last good/relevant album was Hysteria, 21 years ago. MAYBE Adrenalize in ‘92, but that’s stretching it. And they suck live these days too. Zeppelin? What have they done lately? Jack, that’s what. One concert, and even Robert Plant himself can barely be bothered.

Anonymous | 9/13/2008, 1:42 pm EST

Nikki Six is just saying what most serious music fan (and many musiciens) have been saying anyways. Its true the JBs were around before Dysney picked them up but what fans fail to mention is that they were DROPPED by Columbia Records. The JBs and Miley arent the way to introduce kids to music, i started out on good charlote (im only 14) before i heard their abysmal “chronicals of life and death” album, then i moved onto simple plan, before realizing they were pretty cotten candy, moving onto Green Day and Billy Talent (im still a Green Day Fan) then i was watching Rock Star Super Nova when some guy did a cover of lithium, i was impressed found out about Nirvana and asked for Never Mind for my birthday; that album opened my eyes to what good music really is, i now listen to everything from Bob Dylan to Zepplin to the Melvins.

anushka | 9/13/2008, 2:27 pm EST

whoever u are nikki sixx u suck.. the jonas brothers are really talented .. by the way who are u? i love the jonas brothers n miley n i am sure that other people like them 2.. so get a job nikki six

jake | 9/13/2008, 2:30 pm EST

wow this it pathetic. Miley cyrus and the jb aren’t rock, they’re pop. If you’d even asked the beatles they would say that their early stuff was pop not rock. for motley, they are rock. listen too fast for love and shout at the devil they are not hair metal records. plus i have seen the crue twice and they rock. loudest concert i have ever been to. just stop all your complaining

geoff | 9/13/2008, 3:13 pm EST

nikki sixx is right he plays rock n roll and well what cyrus and the jonas brothers play cant even by considered music

whiplashChild | 9/13/2008, 3:26 pm EST

Those kids one day will end up drug adiccted and crazy, just like Britney. OK, thats also something that happened to Nikki, but at least he did it with style, didnt he? (He wore underpants at least)

dyer | 9/13/2008, 3:58 pm EST

Let the little pre-pubescent children have thier cotton candy Jonas Borthers and Miley. Who cares??? So, what if they aren’t rock? All they are is a marketing tool for an industry that is sloooowly dying.
As for the Nikki Sixx, the Crue were “hair metal” for all of about two or three albums starting with “Theater of Pain”, but sadly they never rebounded after grunged came and went.
All in all, the music that is out there today really fricking sucks. To hell with this “alternative rock” crap, pop-punk, wanna be punk, or third rate grunge whoa is me crap.
Where’s the danger? Where’s the excitement? Rock is meant to p%ss off your parents, not to have them jam out with you….

Giggi | 9/13/2008, 4:36 pm EST

TaylorHanson | 9/13/2008, 5:25 pm EST

I’m so sick of people using the “Well the Jonas Brothers have talent…” excuse. Hanson had just as much talent and they are resting comfortably in the “Where are they now?” file. The same place the Joker Brothers will be once they turn legal and their retarded ten year old fans lip-gloss fumes wear off.

Yannie :) | 9/13/2008, 11:13 pm EST

I agree with him somehow.
Jonas brothers definetly aren’t ROCK.
Miley Cyrus?
That bitch isn’t anywhere close.
But Jonas Brothers defintely don’t go out expressing themselves as rock stars. They know their boundary which is simply pop.
That’s all there is to it. They don’t make songs about how they are rock stars like a certain miley Cyrus.
So be sensible. Of course we know they aren’t rock music. And the Jonas Brothers certainly aren’t selling themselves as rock stars. Unlike Miley Cyrus who is. They may say rock stars but they are just pop stars. That’s it.
Except I don’t consider miley a “star”.

Jack | 9/13/2008, 11:32 pm EST

offcourse little hannah montana and the jonas brothers aren’t rock, nobody above 14 believes that crap

but neither is friggin’ Nikki Sixx, that guy has as much to do with rock ‘n roll as shania twain has to do with country

Giggi | 9/13/2008, 11:47 pm EST

It’s not an excuse! They are really talented!!!! I mean!!! They’re not pure rock and roll, but they have some of it somewhere!! I would say they’re pop/rock!!! AnD Jack guy has all the reason in the world saying that Nikki Sixx also is not rock and roll!!!

crue is not metal | 9/13/2008, 11:56 pm EST

nikki sixx, you shouldnt speak on what “music” is or what you think “music” is. and i dont think anyone for that matter should be taking your opinion seriously. motley crue is single handedly the most over rated band of all time. and as you can see they are making more money than your washed up ass ever did and ever will. im not saying i like the jonas brothers or miley cyrus. in fact i cant stand them. but all im saying is that no one can classify what something is. especially not nikki sixx. i know there not as “metal and cool” as the spandex leather wearing trannies such as motley crue. i hate the jonas brothers and motley crue.

we all know that rock has the kick ass guitar solos and riffs!

most of you are assholes | 9/14/2008, 12:35 am EST

The rock music that most of you are defending is made for people with super-thick skulls and peanut-sized brains. It’s not even really music, just a bunch of stoned idiots screaming and wailing into the mic, possibly while pissing their pants. Jonas Brothers are a good band and they rock. Miley is a teenage phenomenon who will sell millions and millions of cd’s, not to mention a billion dollars worth of merchandise…no-one else in the history of the entertainment industry has sold as much merchandise as Miley. Go suck my bag all of you rock-heads. Nicky Sicks you’re a useless piece of shit.

Nina | 9/14/2008, 1:28 am EST

Nikki I agree with you 110%. I have always been a fan of yours even more so when I read The Heroin Diaries.

First of all I personally think that the Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus fucking suck. None of them have talent and never will!!! If the jonas brothers have so much talent like everyone says then why the hell can’t they even play a decent guitar solo? At least Motley Crue can actually play their instruments. And Miley wouldn’t even be where she is if it wasn’t for her daddy!
And for your information I’m not some old guy. I’m 16 years old living in a world where all the girls are like “I went to a Jonas Brother Concert they are so hott yadda yadda.” And I say so fucking
what why don’t you go to a real concert (like of Metallica, AC-DC, and Motley Crue) and see what real music is!!!

Eastxjdr | 9/14/2008, 3:39 am EST

If you really want to hear Rock & Roll, listen to Jerry Lee Lewis’ Live at Star Club, Hamburg album or cd. This is true rock & roll. Probably one of the best live performances of all time. He wasn’t called the killer for nothing. Jerry Lee was ahead of his time. He was punk way before there was a genre of the same name. Trashing pianos…you can’t get any better than that.

Kasey | 9/14/2008, 5:01 am EST

Everyone has to realise that people have different tastes when it comes to music. I respect bands such as Mötley Crüe, they make the music they want… some people love that. Fine.
Other people on the other hand, such as myself prefer to listen to something else over these bands, like the Jonas Brothers.
There should be no problem with that, people like different things get used to it.
Oh and Sixx should really mean just plain Rock not Rock & Roll. If you want Rock and Roll listen to music from the 50’s; like Chuck Berry or Elvis Presley.

Anonymous | 9/14/2008, 5:16 am EST

Never heard of Nikki Sixx. He appears to be some wanker who has a girls name. Everyone has different opinions, it’s called being human. Go have a cry Nikki. Rock and roll will never be what it used to be, I know that, but you’re not helping it get back to where it was.

Curd | 9/14/2008, 5:29 am EST

I always thought rock and roll was what the youth wanted it to be, since it tends to change from generation to generation. Sometimes more than once within a single generation. This all seems rather pointless coming from a man who’s hey-day has come and gone a long time ago. I don’t think his music has any influence on the bands of today, so how can he have any say in what rock music is as defined by this generation?

Monique | 9/14/2008, 7:02 am EST

yeah, Nikki knows what he is talking about… the rock fashion thing has gotten out of control.

WOW | 9/14/2008, 10:29 am EST

Look how cute you all are getting all besides yourselves over this comment. LOL.. just like it was said, this is an opinion. But yeah… Miley Cyrus rock and roll? C’mon folks… she’s a Pop trend princess. No more no less. Jonas Brothers… yep, they’re closer to rock and roll, but hey, still a pop trend. So basically, if either of these acts are around say… 25 years and still making top selling albums ie: Motley Crue and Sixx:am or have the writing chops and credibility that Nikki Sixx has… then yeah, they can start telling acts what they think of them too. Hell… I’m willing to bet my year’s pay that the only place you’ll be able to see either act is on a “Where are they now” special.

Poor Poor Youth | 9/14/2008, 12:39 pm EST

You know, I was terrified when Emo took to the charts, but seems like those chaps have quickly come along into quality songwriting. I can only hope the same goes for these poor bubblegum pop children. However, as i’ve seen in a couple posts, it is abysmal that anyone would use “Cuter” as a way to justify any group. That’s just… sad.

Anonymous | 9/14/2008, 1:32 pm EST

bottom line: this debate is between two non musically talented pieces of shit who wear more makeup than my drag queen brother. seriously nikki, look at you. thats enough of a joke. all the tits you got back in 83 are all sagging to the floor now. just stop. please.

Reason | 9/14/2008, 3:43 pm EST

I can’t believe selling records and merchandise and making money factors into you people’s view of what rock and roll is. JB and Miley are manufactured selling machines invented by fucking DISNEY of all companies. Least rocking corporation ever. People seem to be confusing the terms “rock & roll” and “pop” a lot lately.

Charlie | 9/14/2008, 3:59 pm EST

Is the hostility a result of being a “rock star” in one of the worst periods in rock n roll history. Hair metal sucked Nikki Sixx needs to go back to his grave fuck motley crue.

Nathan | 9/14/2008, 4:43 pm EST

Agreed, Cyrus and the Jonas Bros are not rock n roll, but I was unfortunate enough to see Motley Crue play a couple years back and I’ll tell ya, that wasn’t exactly r&r either. They were so very bad, thankfully they were just the opening act though.

c ya | 9/14/2008, 5:39 pm EST

dat man gots problems saying shit about jb and miley ain’t gonna help!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 9/14/2008, 5:44 pm EST

u ppl r all stupid!!!!!!
i understand the jonas brothers and miley r not the “rock n roll” u old ppl know but they r brining new and better music that u can actually understand not the kind that the singers scream on top of there lungs and u dont understand

alot of ppl luv the Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus their are probably more ppl that like the jbros and miley than that old rock and roll u ppl used to listen to.

zack | 9/14/2008, 5:44 pm EST

and… what the hell r u gonna do about it man?

jbros | 9/14/2008, 5:49 pm EST

the jonas brothers dont suck u idiots just because they dont scream on top of their lungs not understanding wat the fuck they say like wat u ppl so call music doesnt give u the right to discrace them

Rock Mama | 9/14/2008, 6:17 pm EST

Ok, I’m a married 35 year old with 3 kids. I loved Motley Crue in the late 80’s early 90’s. I also loved and worshipped Def Leopard, Twisted Sister, Ozzy, Rat… “Back in my day” these groups were considered Hard-Rock (remember Head Banger’s Ball?), not Rock-n-Roll. Those two genres are not the same. Michael Jackson was considered Pop and Dires Strait was Rock-n-Roll. These are just examples to show you how the music, lyrics, presentation differ. I would (and do) consider Jonas Brothers more Rock-n-Roll because of the way the music (not lyrics) is presented. Some of their songs are on the “popish” side, but that is not their genre. I have attended one of their concerts and let me tell you, I could not hear for 2 days (literally). The performance itself was a TRUE rock show, out of this world! Miley however, is pure pop, although she does have a song here and there with rock tendencies, but yes, her genre is pop. There is nothing wrong with that either. I definitly prefer JB, but she is talented. The old geezers need to lighten up and accept the fact that, yes, we are getting old. It’s ok though. I held my own against the “hot” girls at the Jonas Brothers concert, and showed them how a real woman can get down :)

Corey | 9/14/2008, 6:24 pm EST

Well, he’s right, it ain’t rock. To think that people are trying to pass that shit off as legit rock’n'roll makes me want to burn down the Music section at my local Wal-Mart. Kids, if you wanna listen to real rock, look for something with a parental advisory sticker on it. Corrupt yourself, scare your parents.

Rich | 9/14/2008, 7:03 pm EST

It’s funny that a member of one of the worst bands of all time is commenting on what rock music is.

Cock n roll | 9/14/2008, 7:33 pm EST

Nikki is right. the major labels and mtv have only exposed lame, safe bullshit. Get with reality

jzephyrcove | 9/14/2008, 7:36 pm EST

I love Motley Crue. they were always good….the good rock is pretty much gone with all this garbage they are playing these days…..

sam jackson's love child | 9/14/2008, 7:52 pm EST

so the basic breakdown is this:

folks that can actually fucking type the english laguage: miley and jonas arent rock and roll

people that can only type in test talk: OMG! stop picking onz MILWEY and da jonas bros. ya r retards!

__________________ _______

i smell a generational difference here. and more than a few iq points

____________________ __

now, i disagree that rock music has to be a lifestyle or image(hey, nikki sixx: we used to call that being a poser. image is bullshit). however, ther are some basic musical requirements. miley may used rock elements in her music, but she’s squarely a pop act. the jonas brothers are also pop. must playing guitars doesnt mean you are rock. there aint no shame in being a pop band. there’s good money in it.

but nikki sixx is right: neither is rock. not really even close

wtf? | 9/14/2008, 8:46 pm EST

ok baffled but smiling or w.e the hell your name is. the book didnt just say rock .it said contemporary rock. the main word is CONTEMPORARY. i was a dancer and have friends who are dancers and took and take contemporary dance. and the ppl that hate jb are just frigged up. u have friken issues. i love zep and guns n roses and aerosmith and grateful dead but i love jb. i consider them rock cuz they PLAY their OWN INSTRUMENTS. Some ppl just dont know wat the hell is going on and just say things that dont make any sense.and thats mostly the people who dont know what real rock is. and yeah they might not always have rock songs but mostly all of them are. i dont like miley but i love jb. so all u friken haters go suck nikki sixx cock.(o yeah and i agree with everyone who says hes gonna like miley in a few years) ha i see it in his eyes.

AG | 9/14/2008, 9:01 pm EST

look i’m 18 and i love classic rock so don’t come down on all teens. but all i have to say is that one, if anyone thinks this crap is rock music than they’re ignorant, two, nikki six is one of the last people that should be taking about what real rock music is, and three, judging by some of the posts in favor of this new pop music, my generation is incredibly stupid.

q;flkm | 9/15/2008, 1:13 am EST

miley cyrus sucks yalls balls.
BUUTTTTthe jonas brothers are wayyy better then fresakin motley crap you stupid whores are talking about miley cyrus is fake and even if the jonas brothers arent “hard core” that doesnt mean you shouldnt give them a chance. their lyrics are all written by them and you can actually understand what their saying whoever this nikki chick is she just doesnt know anything about good music. AT ALL id rather listen to the jonas brothers then something that i would sit down and listen to for five minutes and then after that feel like killing myself or whatevr kind of sabimanal messages that are in there.
bottom line jonas brothers are freagin sexy myley cirus is fake and nikki is a stupid whore. :p

Anonymous | 9/15/2008, 2:12 am EST

hes right both these acts fucking suck, but I don’t listen to them so I don’t care about them
But who in the hell gave jonas brothers the rights to ruin a Beetles song in a fuckin target commercial that is what pisses me off the most

Julie by the beach. | 9/15/2008, 4:10 am EST

dcsharp29 | 9/15/2008, 7:56 am EST

Nikki Sixx has more fuckin’ rock ‘n’ roll in his toenail than Miley and the Jonas Brothers could even fathom. There is NOTHING rock ‘n’ roll about Disney. Like the other guy said: Rot your brain, scare your parents, and fight the fuckin’ man!

dcsharp29 | 9/15/2008, 8:10 am EST

Forgot this part: The Jonas Brothers don’t even WANT to party or get laid. They’re the anti-rock. I believe the formula is “sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll” fellas. RS should be ashamed for giving these thumb-suckers the cover.

john | 9/15/2008, 8:59 am EST

Yeah Nikki, you’re right, I guess these teens haven’t learned to chemically abuse their bodies, play drunken, sub-par music for well-paying fans, and glorify damaging themselves and others.

However, they have already matured beyond the “bathroom wall scribblings” you pass off for lyrics. A fifty year-old man in eyeliner…I guess that’s true rock and roll!

Goofball!

sam jackson's love child | 9/15/2008, 9:03 am EST

“i consider them rock cuz they PLAY their OWN INSTRUMENTS”

see, now this is just wrong. so is duke ellington rock n roll? beethoven is definitely rock and roll then. the roots? no longer are hip hop.

Anonymous | 9/15/2008, 10:41 am EST

Ya the formula is pretty straight foreward= Sex, Drugs, and rock n roll. this is not rock music. rock music is zeppelin, crue, ac/dc, Guns n roses. People should learn music genres because you might have to creat a new one for them but the def dont belong in rock.

Oliver5150 | 9/15/2008, 11:19 am EST

Rock N’ Roll is and has always been rooted in rebellion, attitude and the strive for virtuosity. The debate of this article does not involve whether Motley Crue is in fact rock because it really isn’t debatable; they are a rock band. Miley And the Jonas Brothers are not rock because they don’t have the rebellious undertones that rock bands have(unless you consider the disney channel youtube schoolyard cat fights rebellion). Ultimately, The Jonas bros. and Miley are pre-teen pop at best and it is an utter insult to classify them as anything more.

Bliggity | 9/15/2008, 1:57 pm EST

While I don’t disagree with his statement, does Sixx need to pick on these kids? Last I heard, grown men picking on children is not rock and roll either…

Fizz | 9/15/2008, 2:16 pm EST

To the kiddo who said his/her generation is “bringing new and better music that you can actually understand and not somebody screaming their lungs out …” That is such an old person’s gripe! “It’s just screaming! I can’t understand what he’s saying!” Thanks, gramps!

Simply settled | 9/15/2008, 2:21 pm EST

Arguing preference of music is the stupidest thing and a total waste of time. Everyone has different musical tastes and opinions.

What can’t be argued is fact:

Simply stated: Does everyone here have a local ROCK only radio station? Have you ever heard Miley Cyrus or The Jonas Brothers played as part of their rock music rotation?

No?

I rest my case.

Fizz | 9/15/2008, 2:21 pm EST

To the kiddo who said his/her generation was “bringing new and better music you can actually understand, not just screaming at the top of their lungs.” You know what an old person’s gripe that is? “It’s just a bunch of screaming! I can’t understand what they’re saying! Turn it down! Why don’t you listen to music with actual words?” Sounds like what my mother said 20 years ago.

Fizz | 9/15/2008, 2:25 pm EST

True, Simply Stated, but that station plays a bunch of other stuff I don’t consider “rock” either.

Simply settled | 9/15/2008, 3:00 pm EST

Fair enough, Fizz.

I can safely say my rock station plays rock music. Both new and old, classic and cutting edge.

But all rock.

Ripp | 9/15/2008, 3:29 pm EST

Its true but come on…like this is the first time cooperations have marketing something.

Celia | 9/15/2008, 6:36 pm EST

It’s almost insulting when the Jonas Brothers or Miley Cyrus are called “rock n’ roll”. I’m sure Bo Diddley is rolling in his grave.
However, that whole “rock lifestyle” thing is bullshit. Just because someone like Nels Cline is not out getting laid every night and smashing his guitars after every show does not mean that he is not “rock n’ roll”.
It’s all about the music. It should always be all about the music. The Jonas Bros are not rock n’ roll… not because they wear purity rings, but because their music does not contain any of the fundamentals of rock n’ roll.

anon | 9/15/2008, 7:10 pm EST

OK, I’m a 14 year-old girl who hates Miley and the JonasBrothers. Everyone around me (especially the girls) are freakin obsessed with both of them and I can’t stand it. They wouldn’t know rock n’ roll if it came up and bit them in the ass! I’m a true hard-core rock n’ roll fan. Everything from The Who, AC/DC, Zeppelin, Leppard, Motley Crue, The Stones, etc. And as for all of you that say they’re “has-beens”, well they might not be touring or making new records, but that’s because they don’t need to. Their older stuff is great, way better than this new crap people are calling rock n’ roll. And Miley and the Jonas Brothers aren’t creating anything new. Miley doesn’t write her own stuff, and most of the music she uses are ripped off of other tracks. And the Jonas Brothers may write their own stuff, but that doesn’t mean they have anything to say. And as for their ‘music’, we’ve all heard that before, I mean boooriiiinngg. So all in all, Miley and JB suck, long live rock!

DC | 9/15/2008, 7:41 pm EST

give it two years and you wont really care what people label music as.
you will just be able to enjoy whatever music you like without caring what label people have put on it.
it doesn’t really matter if you are a “true rock n roll” fan. because honestly that doesnt impress anyone.

Mike/Houston,TX. | 9/15/2008, 10:15 pm EST

Hell!!! The CARPENTERS were more Rock & Roll than Motley Crue! They were true MUSICIANS! Karen Carpenter was the first female drummer who actually sang impeccably and simultaneously played drums to perfection – and she didn’t need to ‘dress up in drag’ like the Crue did, so what contribution or specialty did the Crue submit other than spandex, makeup & high heels???

dunn5656 | 9/16/2008, 9:19 am EST

I mean, he’s right, they aren’t rock, but, it’s hard to take a guy seriously who thinks Buckcherry and Papa Roach are legit acts. They are 2 of the worst bands I have ever heard in my life.

Fizz | 9/16/2008, 8:08 pm EST

Okay, okay, I was wrong…I love Miley and the Jonas Brothers are a tight little band, too. Nikki Sixx…you are a washed-up bag of shit.

Monica | 9/17/2008, 2:30 pm EST

Are you serious? You go into a Barnes and Noble and EXPECT it to be properly categorized?! It would be impossible for ALL genres and subgenres to be categorized “properly” according to all their fans criteria and what not.

I’m a Motley Crue fan. But Nikki, you are being am arrogant tool and a complete douche.

Ellie | 9/17/2008, 6:34 pm EST

I couldn’t agree more.

I hate Miley Cyrus, I like some Jonas Brothers, but they aren’t rock and roll. They’re more like Disney pop or bubblegum. They’re boring, because they only dish out what Disney wants them to. It’s not really real rock and roll if your fans are six to twelve year olds who just go on and on about how hot you are. It’s the music quality. Apparently, to Disney, that doesn’t matter.

It’s really funny how you hard-core fans are screaming at him. Finally, someone speaks the truth, I don’t think the fact that he’s washed-up matters. It makes sense because it’s TRUE.

Samantha | 9/17/2008, 7:08 pm EST

u suck
who cares if the jonas brothers r rockin roll
theyre awesome
and there not the 1 who put it on display lozer

BEB | 9/17/2008, 11:42 pm EST

ok first of all let me say that im 18 and as some of you put it “part of the new generation” ..however i do not agree that all of us teenagers “love” the jb and miley..i personally love all rock like black sabbath to more contempory,,hell i even like the “king or rock” Elvis..
First of all, i mean come on, the main fans that miley n jb have are screaming 10-15 yr olds…and i do have to agree that they are NOT Rock n roll….not to say that that is a bad thing considering they make a lot of money with their pop music
secondly, i disagree with the ppl arguing that “at least the jb arent screaming at the top of there lungs and u dont understand what they’re saying”…cuz obviously u dont know what rock is either..its not about the screaming, or all the makeup,,its about the specific message, the vibe, that distinct style they bring into their music
And thirdly i have to agree that “rock” changes with each generation,,every generation seems to think that they’re music is the “real rock n roll”..afterall its def. changed a lot since the 50’s. Most of my generation consider bands like avenged sevenfold, for example, rock and perhaps the younger generation consider jb rock

patty | 9/18/2008, 2:11 am EST

definetly jb miley arent r.r. hello i hate when people say soemthing to make it look like something else and it isnt anythingn like it is. r.r. has the look sound bold fierce edgy of experiences adult life bands like everything from metallica to breaking benjamin are rock when u get mc jb when u look at their image sound personality phyiscal apperence attitude they dont have nothing of a rock roll. there whole image sound is too cheesy poppy cliche tale of teenage life experiences. people should not bwe saying desribing something that isnt what it try to claim to be poppy cheesy cliche bubble gum attract fans of the age range of 7-16 there’s r.r it attract age range of 17-50 listen look at the words of a bubble gum song then look listen to the rock words sound there is quite a bit of difference so please people in our community stop making things sound out more to what it is it isnt anywhere near the descritption of what u claim it is. this world is full of marketing advisers who say or do anything to get people to believe what they want just to get customer buy something when its all lies just to make a stupid penny these customers are senseless brainwashed

madison | 9/19/2008, 4:39 pm EST

nikki fuckin sixx is the man. i swear the jonas brothers are gay and miley is going to turn out like britteny spears…..and i used to like britteny spears when i was young. and no i dont just like loud rock music, i like everything from Slipknot to Lil Wayne to ZZ Top to Rihanna.

ihateyou | 9/20/2008, 1:33 pm EST

the jonas brothers and miley cyrus are not rock n rolL!!! MILEY CYRUS AND THE JONAS BROTHERS SUCK!!! rock n’ roll owns!! nikki sixx rules!! :)

FritoBandito | 9/21/2008, 9:09 pm EST

ray | 9/28/2008, 8:28 pm EST

Nikki your a asshole how can you say that the Jonas brothers are better than MILEY CYRUS so NIKKI stop talking crap

guitarman5998 | 9/29/2008, 9:31 pm EST

Wel, Sixx is right, you should be able to determine what “rock” is from past generations. Jonas’ are bubblegum “pop” at the best. There was a time when rock was guitar, even pumpin’ piano driven tunes with an awesome drum/bass for a solid rhythm section behind it all. Now? That’s mostly gone. There’s a few bands still trying to keep doing it right but the Jonas brothers? Come on, I’m sure you all will be right on board with the New Kids On The Block on their comeback also. Try checking out something with a little feeling and a tad bit of attitude…maybe for females, Pink, Kelly Clarkson, Xtina even, at least these girls can belt it out. As far s rock groups go…most of them are from the 80’s and 90’s with the exception of a handful.

SIXXisGOD | 10/3/2008, 10:50 am EST

hes exactally right….
they r pop music mutherfuckers.
they call them selfs rock stars
when they arrent even in that genre. we need more bands like motley now, the rock n roll part of music is dying and needs some badass dudes to fucking save it before the fucking jonas brothers rape the shit out of it

Jenn Young | 10/4/2008, 12:57 am EST

NIkki is a a complete dolt. He seriously needs to od and do it the right way this time=DEAD.

What the fuck does he know about what real rock is? He was just a little while ago saying he’d never be on a reality show like Vince and Tommy and now that he’s dating that beast, Kat Von D, he’s probably going to succumb to the level of reality tv. How predictable and how rock n roll! Nothing says rock n roll like Kat von d. lol.

MC4LYFE | 10/5/2008, 9:12 pm EST

wow… i don’t know why people are saying that the jonas brothers are rock…I mean C’mon! all that’s there is 1 chord a song and they put in all these stupid effects. jonases are NOTHING! they got their kicks from weak little 6-year olds…the crue came off the streets ready to rock their asses off for anyone! JB and Miley have no talent at all.

m | 10/6/2008, 6:05 pm EST

I just want to say how old I feel having read a lot of comments from people who don’t know who Nikki Sixx is.

Emily | 10/13/2008, 12:21 pm EST

People today have taken the phrase “rockstar” and turned it into a fucking joke.

mimi | 10/18/2008, 2:28 pm EST

i have to say miley is okay and so are the jb i love them

Aceus | 10/21/2008, 6:46 pm EST

Okay all the youngsters need to grab their blankies and crawl up in a corner with their so called rock CDs… Rock N Roll is not pop and Miley and Jonas Brothers both fall into that category… I wonder if they have even had sex yet. I bet the only drug they have tried is pot… if that? Rock is off the fucking chart wild and crazy and has no limitations… and if anyone fits the description of Rock N Roll it would be Nikki Sixx… And FUCK ANYONE WHO WISHES UPON ANYONE BEING DEAD!!!

Aceus | 10/21/2008, 7:00 pm EST

You know what else I find funny is that if you think any of these comments will affect the lifestyles of any of these artists you people are living in a bubble yourselves… I also want to point out… Miley only got her career because daddy was a huge COUNTRY singer back in his day… I also wanted to add one other thing before I left… “For Jonas Brothers, the last year has been all whirlwind, all the time. Yet somehow, on the road to becoming a pop culture phenomenon, the trio never broke a sweat”

oscar from LA ~~ | 10/25/2008, 2:08 am EST

first of all miley and the 3 dick heads are fucking pop! Why u fucking ask? Anything that Disney shits out of it’s fucking SPARKALING ASS is pop exibit A: Hilary Duff. These fucking dumb asses that you guys call “Rock an roll” are not even close to it so get your bubble gum Disney shit heads out of your ass and get a reality check.

Jonny | 10/26/2008, 7:45 am EST

Fightstar, Thrice, coheed and cambria, Refused are real Rock bands.
Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus. Go die.

Justin | 11/3/2008, 11:16 pm EST

I’m 14 and i HATE HATE HATE the Jonas Brothers and that little chick whats her face. I love Motley Crue, you people who don’t like them are dumb maybe you should go read their autobiography. The jonas brothers are ugly as hell too! They have ju-fros.

The question really is: What was Nikki doing at Barnes & Noble?

Anonymous | 11/18/2008, 9:53 pm EST

Mylie Cyrus is only bloody famous because that discrace billy ray is. If she was’nt the spawn of that fake tan overdose prick no one would no who she is. And I agree. Anything from disney aint rock. And are the jonas brothers those three fucking incest trio with the perm jobs? Why are they even mentioned on a magazine website that was the highest selling ROCK magazine in the world. Whats up with that.

Anonymous | 11/22/2008, 4:26 pm EST

O and Justin who left a comment below mine. I’m 14 too.
Rock on brother!

Jeff | 11/23/2008, 12:00 pm EST

Lmao, For all you people that think the jonas brothers are rock ‘n roll then go read The Dirt (the montley crue autobiography) and tell me if there anything like that. Im not talking about the drugs and sex im talking about the real rock attitude, the one that the jonas brotheres make a mockery of. They get everything handed to them by disney, real bands have to work for that shit, there going to be on some one hit wonder show by 2015.

um | 12/6/2008, 11:28 pm EST

papa roach is amazing and so are the others
how are miley and the jonas brothers original rock? THEY ARE POP MUSIC just becuase they have guitars doesnt mean theyr even close to rock

Jake | 12/20/2008, 11:57 pm EST

Nikki Sixx, you’re the man, Motley Crue was the shit, and Sixx A.M is in my top 20. But I have to agree with you, Cyrus, JB, all that shit isn’t rock n’ roll. A couple of other guys who are true Rock N’ Roll, The Rolling Stones ( Mainly Richards ), Chuck Berry, and The Beatles, gotta add them in there man.

me | 12/27/2008, 7:45 pm EST

i love motley crue and nikki sixx and the boy are still kick ass !!!!!!! just like back in the 80s had fun at cruefest my kis who are 11 13 and 15 and 17 have a good time too so who care about all the new band who think thay are rock the crue not rock it metal so what are you ass talking about !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jaymes | 1/2/2009, 5:58 pm EST

First I’d like to thank Nikki for saying exactly what has been on my mind for a while. Second Miley and JB are in no mother fucking way rock! They are POP! Disney might be marketing them as rock to keep up with trends. I mean just not too long ago wasn’t Disney all into the rap thing? If you look them up anywhere their genres are POP! NOT rock. And finally for those fucking dumbasses who don’t know what rock is, it’s not just screaming at the top of your lungs fuckbags! And it’s not cookie-cutter Disney shit either so get your music straight. Also for people saying rock changes, it evolves. And that doesn’t mean bands from other decades aren’t rock. They still are. So basically people need help clarifying what rock, pop and metal really are.

Ellise | 1/2/2009, 6:27 pm EST

It’s amazing how many people Disney has made to think Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers are rock & roll. Last time I checked they were under the “pop” category. At least they got some loyal fans…for now.

C. | 1/12/2009, 7:52 am EST

@ “Sana” the jonas brothers and miley cyrus are pop, now the “all americans rejects” and bands like it are pop rock.

Rock and roll all started as a term for F*cking and I dont think any song by the jonas brothers or miley cyrus capture the “raw power” of intercourse and I dont think the 12 y.o.’s that listen to that garbage could either.

anonymous | 1/12/2009, 3:04 pm EST

i think that miley cyrus should go fucking fing her brian and use it cause she dont know if she’s miley cyrus or hanna montana she dont know what kind of music she so-calls sings i think she needs to just stop singing and keep going to shcool until she can figure things out and so does jb they suck bigg time

Bill | 1/16/2009, 2:00 am EST

Of course Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers suck – not sure why Nikki has to make that comment. But Nikki Sixx is ALSO a total douchebag. The fact that he considers himself a good musician is laughable.

the jonas brothers music is good and i like them. I know its not rock but they do have talent. On the other hand miley cant sing to me but she has plenty fans and is getting paid.so before you say they suck and bash them remember people have different taste in music

fuckTheFrueFrueShitBringTheJD. | 2/4/2009, 12:54 pm EST

Okay, some people are like..”Yeah, it’s funny how Sixx thinks he’s a musician, he sucks.” Or, “I wish he would die.” or, “That’s not rock.”

STFU! Read the dirt, assholes. that’s what real rock is.
miley cyrus needs to get raped my michael jackson and the jb’s need to die in a pile of their moms used tampons. i bet they haven’t even smoked..anything. or had a drink.
dude im fucking 12 years old. the day miley cyrus put out her first song, was the day real music died. THEY ARE KILLING IT.
The Crue, GNR, etc. those are real rock bands. not gay ass teens.

Nikki Sixx, I salute you. You are the most famous Jonas Brothers hater of them all. Congratulations!!! Keep at it, and let’s all show those Disney posers what metal really is.

Nonconformist. | 2/13/2009, 11:54 am EST

Duuuuuuuuuuuudes.
Calm the fuck down.
You people are all conformists.
Nikki Sixx is badass. And yes,
he’s a rockstar. A real one.
The term Rockstar can be portrayed as many different things. By not only the music someone plays, but by their lifestyle.
The true definition of everything changes from year to year. Just because they’re not “heavy”, or “Brutal”, does not mean that they are not “Rockstars”.
Rockstars love performing, and get an adrennaline rush from it.
I’ve seen The Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus on T.V and they get the same reaction from performing.
Some of you people are only saying that you hate The Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus, because some of your friends are probably reading this, or you secretly listen to them. But, get a clue. Not everything has to be the same these days. How fucking boring would the world be if we were all the same, and music was all the same, and clothes were all the same? Think about it. Stop your bitching. Maybe he didn’t even say that, ever thought of that?
Things get twisted around in public, and Hollywood these days. Damn Tabloids need to go fuck themselves.
But, for now I’ll leave you with that to think about.
(:

Gabby | 2/17/2009, 10:51 pm EST

CRUE is rock and thay are vary good thay are my fav band and i love the jonas brither byt nikki is right thay r not rock and mily sucks.

Beeern | 2/20/2009, 5:14 pm EST

You people should listen to Nikki more often..
if there is a God in this universe its him..

Now, the Jonas brothers are probably the worst musicians I’ve ever heard of. PERIOD.

Motley Crue created the 80’s sound.. without Motley there would have been no Bon Jovi and NO Guns N Roses.. and therefore no Cinderella, no Velvet Revolver and no Chinese Democracy (album)..

Motley Crue were the kings of over-the-top Rock N Roll lifestyle. They have done countless tons of drugs.. countless amounts of pussy and played countless of awesome gigs, even if they were drunk/high/wasted during the show. And they enjoyed it! they didn’t think “oh, all the other good bands did it so.. LET’S DO DRUGS!!” no..

And finally.. I don’t know how people can dare to compare these buffoons of the Jonas brother with these kings. Including me..
saying that the Jonas brother are better than Nikki Sixx in ANY way is a LIE.

jimmy page | 2/20/2009, 6:25 pm EST

how can you assholes say tht nikky is not a good musician hes great the jonas brothers arent even a real band they work for fuckin disney for fuck sake

Jimmy Jazz | 2/23/2009, 7:36 pm EST

Noncormformist, i belive you are wrong. rock and roll is a lifestyle. How can you say theyre music is rock? its total bullshit. purity rings? avoidance of alcohol? DISNEY CHANNEL? you cant fucking be serious. god should drown your brain out with real music.

Aaron | 3/7/2009, 3:46 am EST

I Think Miley && Jonas Brothers are being REALLY SUCKISH, they think they are rock and are both trying to break out of that “innocent” act because their on disney channel but they never will, they will always be little disney channel people, they are not rock!!! they are stupid, cheesy POP !! ffs, they make me so mad, there all just REALLY GODDAMNING STUPID!

storm sixx | 3/8/2009, 3:28 am EST

nikki sixx (my dad) is clean because he’s cares for me and my siblings now but he’s still rock n roll but he’s still a tattooed rocker that did alot of things in the past

Motley Crue is as good as it gets

21st century music sucks

So I agree with him about time someone speaks up.

Michelle | 3/19/2009, 3:57 pm EST

who the hell says Crue isn’t rock??? your fucking wrong, yuh, I agree with him, most of the people calls disney bitches, avril lavigne and shit like that “rock”

:P | 3/29/2009, 11:36 am EST

I’m 14 and I agree on what you’re saying, Nikki
But Motley Crue isnt really great either compared to AC/DC, Van Halen, ZZ Top, Metallica before 1993, Judas Priest, GNR, Steelheart, Queen, The Who, etc but I still like Crue
But I can’t take you seriously anymore if you think BuckCherry is rock
You must not be sober still lol
@ that guy who mentioned Jerry Lee Lewis
I’ve listened to a few Jerry Lee Lewis songs, I love them

:P | 3/29/2009, 11:38 am EST

Don’t forget Iron Maiden

:P | 3/29/2009, 11:41 am EST

What I meant with the iron maiden comment is that Motley isnt great compared to Iron Maiden, Deep Purple or Pink Floyd either

niknik | 4/10/2009, 1:02 pm EST

ok who gives a fuck… it is what it is… he said what he had 2 say… its done and over its the past now move the fuck on ppl and i really dont think he cares what u ppl have 2 say bout him….. 1 more thing if JB and MC r good why dont i ever hear them on the radio?

Më sixx | 4/25/2009, 9:51 pm EST

I don´t know speak or write english, but, I know say: Nikki sixx you are the best, and your band is great too!!!
Eres un buen bajista y tienes mucho ingenio, señor Nikki Sixx espero y Mötley Crüe venga a México otra vez… TIENE TODA LA RAZÓN EN SUS SABÍAS PALABRAS…

Lucy in the Sky | 5/2/2009, 2:45 pm EST

Someone who know’s what he’s talking about! (now that he’s ‘clean’, high… who knows?)
Miley Cyrus / Hannah Montanna is pop country (mostley pop),not rock.
The Jonas… Things are just a boy band with guitars, jus tlike Hanson, exept they don’t play their own instruments.

Thanks for pointing this out.

And also a note to he fans-
You complain that if we don’t like them, don’t listen o their music or watch their videos. Well then why are you on here? Please use proper grammar so it won’t take twice as long to read it, or for you, write it. Stop saying you’re gonna kick their asses for not liking your boyband. You don’t know them (the people you’re threatening, that is) or where they live. It’s not like you could hurt them anyways. You’re NOT scary. People are just laughing at you. Save yourselves the embarassment. A little gift from me to you. OK. I’ll shut up now.

Neomi | 6/27/2009, 10:07 pm EST

Now people can say that Nikki Sixx and Motley Crue aren’t Rock N Roll, but the truth of the matter is that they are. Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montanna and the Jonas Brothers are NOT Rock they are Bubblegum Tween Pop. Motley Crue may not have been as succesful as Guns N Roses but they still completely destroy Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers. Honestly the Jonas Brothers are just a fad. They’re the epitomy of BackStreetBoys and NSYNC. They come out, they blow up, have their fifteen minutes of fame, and eventually disappear. That’s what’s going to happen to the Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus. In 2 or 3 years no one is going to remember them. But the down side to that is that when these 4 morons are finally gone their will be anohter boyband all courtesy of Disney.

Christy Crue | 6/28/2009, 10:56 pm EST

What people NEED to know is that Nikki Sixx is an articulate, well-spoken and intelligent man WHO had a GOAL and achieved it. HE IS THE REASON MOTLEY CRUE IS STILL PERFORMING TO THIS DAY. NIKKI has earned the right to make this kind of comment and he is right. Motley Crue SCRATCHED and CLAWED their way to the top and OWN ALL THEIR MASTER RECORDINGS and were one of the first and few bands to do so. Nikki Sixx has NEVER been afraid to speak his mind and is ALL ABOUT THE FANS. Motley Crue is his baby he created the visuals and costumes and WROTE THE FREAKIN SONGS. Which BTW, have stood the test of time and still sound FRESH and relevant today. This man has overcome such odds (his childhood) and NEVER GAVE UP. When people do drugs they are in PAIN. He was a FAMOUS MUSICIAN when he was an addict and he did not care …whether he had a hit song or not…he just wanted another hit of heroin. You people that don’t know the story of this man and continue to joke about him need to know that I challenge anyone of you to do what he did and what he overcame in his childhood. He still had his dream and was determined to make it happen.Miley Cyrus and those purity ring wearing gay looking Jonas Brothers don’t have HALF an ounce of the ambition that Nikki Sixx and Motley Crue had. And they sure as hell ain’t ROCK N ROLL. The Crue doesn’t fit into ANY special “niche” they are all onto themselves and that is WHY I am PROUD AS HELL TO BE A CRUEHEAD.
And if you don’t get it…well, then F off.

Anonymous | 7/7/2009, 5:26 pm EST

Say it like it is Nik, Miley Cyrus is garbage. A fucking plagiarist. Have u hear that song “Butterfly fly away” (rolls eyes)? IT is a complete ripoff of Landslide by Fleetwood Mac. She is a fucking cash machine, not a rock queen. A corporately contrived living commercial.

converse | 8/12/2009, 8:24 pm EST

2 comments down | 9/1/2009, 7:58 am EST

isnt that person making an idiot of themselves? this guy didnt say jb suck (which he should have) he said they arent rock. anytime you make a disney fan mad they try to cuss you out, but it ends in their embarassment.

Kristen | 9/4/2009, 1:43 am EST

I’m not a fan of Nikki, but I have to agree with him they are not rock; they are more like pop crap. Most music these days is sad, and all the “decent” bands/singers who can actually sing don’t get the attention they deserve. Disney HAS ruined music.

Anonymous | 9/26/2009, 6:54 pm EST

I like Miley and the Jonas Brothers, but it’s true, I don’t think they’re rock, especially Miley. I think the JoBros are more pop-rock, and Miley is definitely more pop than rock.

MoreMileyPlease | 9/28/2009, 9:48 pm EST

Miley Rocks!!! and on the tour after this one you are going to hear all the Rock you want as she expresses the Rocker side of her families roots. You will hear songs like her Cover of Joan Jett’s “I Love Rock and Roll” and her own “Kicking and Screaming.”
I see what’s going on here. It’s not about the music. Apparantly, some think it’s about some imaginary ‘rocker’ lifestyle filled with drugs, non-dangerous danger (at least Rappers shoot each other once in a while), trashing other peoples property (again, non-dangerously paying the bill later), irresponsible sex, and being obnoxious. Neither Elvis, or the Beatles were anything like that. I’ll say it again, Miley ROCKS!!!

all you jonas hoes suck | 10/1/2009, 11:58 pm EST

Jonas brothers and miley cyrus are not rock, STOP CALLING THEM ROCK. Rock and disney bullsh*t don’t deserve to be in the same sentence. in fact, i don’t consider all this disney crap music. you know what, fuck you jonas queers and fuck you disney

LJM. | 10/19/2009, 4:40 pm EST

FIRST OF ALL:
I do believe Nikki Sixx was in a band, along the lines of hard rock, metal, etc.etc.
So, he CLEARLY knows MUCHMUCHMUCH more about it then all of you think you do. I doubt that the rest of you saying that Miley Cyrus and the Jonas brothers are rock n roll, don’t know what you’re talking about. They are disney stars. Disney and Rock N’ Roll don’t mix…what so ever.

Yes. | 10/19/2009, 4:43 pm EST

Miley Cyrus did a cover, hence COVER, of Joan Jett’s I love rock n’ roll. that does not make her a rocker. at all. you loose.

rock&roll+miley&jobros=fail | 10/19/2009, 4:48 pm EST

they suck okay honestly wtf would you even put that together you must be on crack or something. disney stars are made to be on disney and not go any further. this conclusion= win on my part

MoreMileyPlease | 10/25/2009, 2:19 pm EST

Miley’s cover of Joan Jett’s “I Love Rock n’ Roll” was meant to be an example of what you can expect from her in the future. Think of her as someone who is, at heart, a rocker, but who has been hired by Disney to do Pop when she was 11 years old. You’ll see. At any rate, I think it’s fair to say she Rocks the charts as she has 30 entries on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart, the most of ANY female artist! Any!
Not a big Jonas Brothers fan, but some of their mucic is definitely Power Pop, like the Beatles, and some of it sounds a lot like Rock. It’s just that they mix it up a lot with Pop, too. And, if you’e keeping track, don’t the JB’s have the Guiness world record for the most singles to reach the U.S. top 20 of any group?

MoreMileyPlease | 10/25/2009, 2:23 pm EST

Sorry, I should have proofread better. The JB’s have the most singles to reach the top 20 in a Year. Not ever.

steve | 11/8/2009, 1:56 am EST

you still rock nikki, love the sixx am, my fav

John | 11/11/2009, 2:42 am EST

Nikki a Rockstar? I don’t know if that gay crap Suxx, I mean Sixx puts out is Rock, but I do kmow there’s no “Star” involved. And Rock and Roll is not a lifestyle. It’s just that a bunch of losers decided to jump on the Rock bandwagon. You tweekers and twinkies are the ones who are living in a drug induced Disneyland. Miley is going to Rock this country!
