All I saw was a little water splash on him. The PLASTIC bottle flew over his head by a good 3 feet. This is how washed up "musicians" with no real talent treat their fans. Not to mention those people are why you still are able to set foot on a stage. I was a Crue fan back in the day, and will always like their early stuff, but anyone who says Nikki is a good bassist needs their ears checked. The man literally didn't own a bass until he auditioned for the band. Even then only had it because he didn't know the difference between instruments and accidentally stole the bass instead of a guitar. The guy couldn't pull off a fill until his 4th album.

At the last Tool concert I went to, Maynard got hit in the face with a whiskey bottle during "The Pot" and left the stage for 3 songs (all my favorite songs of course). By the time he came back, those of us up front completely destroyed the a$$hole that threw the bottle and security carried his unconscious body out to the first aid tent. Maynard never said a word about it and finished the show in his usual fashion. Quite a different outcome from what Nikki experienced. I guess that goes to show the difference in the level of dedication to the musician by their fans.

I love it when bands throw bottled out in to the crowd, especially at indoor venues. Then they tell you to start a huge circle pit and the people stupid enough to run out there bust there asses cause the floors still wet. The funniest thing I've seen was a sh**ty band (can't remember who) through a drum stick in to the crowd after their set. Not 2 seconds later it was thrown back on stage.

BlindGreed- post 20 LOL!

I had always thought Motley Crue and their fans were p***ies now Nikki had shown just how big of a bad a$$ he is. I wonder if this near death experience changed his outlook in any way? But what I really want to know is: how was that woman able to sneak that dangerous weapon into the venue?

BlindGreed- It is always fun until someone loses an eye! I see his point though- if you are on stage in stillettos that even a stripper would have trouble walking in something as common as stepping on a plastic bottle could be disasterous!
Nikki Sixx sure knows how to have fun at a rock concert: "Stop the show, someone threw an empty water bottle!" Maybe this incident can be a part of "Dirt: Volume 2 The Golden Years"

Honestly, I don't see what the problem is here. Nikki should have been glad A) that the bottle wasn't glass, B) that it wasn't filled with urine, C) that it was filled with water which is refreshing, especially when you're up performing on stage in leather in front of all the lights, and D) that anyone bothered to show up even if it WAS just to throw things at them.

If there was wine in it, no :D

Yeah, he threw it first, but he threw it up in the air so a fan can get it; it's what happens at a concert. The stupid girl threw it right at em but she missed. If a bottle of water actually hit me while performing I'd be p***ed off too. The thing is that he didn't get hit, so that was over the top...just a little bit.

What I really wanna say is HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!

I was an early Motley Crue fan for many years, but for some reason I've never liked Nikki Sixx... the dude has always been a douche with barely any talent... I mean... you could listen to every single Motley Crue song ever and not find a badass bass riff.

If I was at one of my FAVORITE metal concerts and say I was looking down or something and some waterbottle half full lands on my head before the show has even started... I'd throw it back as well.... I'd even go up on stage, if I could actually get past security, which wouldn't be possible. Musicians who flex balls on stage while big a$$ dudes are right below them blocking people from getting up there are flamers. What would he have done if she did get up there? Nothing... talk some more bullsh** to a chick who paid an ungodly amount for a Motley Crue ticket... way to treat a fan.

I was at an Unearthed show and the singer spit beer out of his mouth right onto the front row and it pretty much went all over my face... a couple songs later he put his bottle of beer down near the front of the stage.... so I grabbed it and splashed it up in his face... he flipped out of course. You know why I retaliated though? Spitting beer on me was Metal.... splashing beer back on him was more Metal. Unfortunately I was escorted outside for the rest of their set... oh well... at least they weren't headlining :)

First off, ive been to hundreds of concerts where the bands throw guitar pics, drumsticks and there water bottles out to the crowd. Most people take it as a souvenier.....what its meant to be, he didnt viciously throw it, if you watch, it was a gentle toss like most bands do when they throw sh** in the crowd.......that b**** deserved to cry.......you dont throw sh** back at the band unless its your panties....stupid c***!

But i agree Nikki still doesnt have any bass playing talent.

wow.

Thats a bit of an overreaction, I think it's rude to throw things at bands and have never, would never and will never throw things at a band.

But it was water. In plastic. Thrown during a soapbox "me-me-me" moment. Not a complicated solo, not a big-finish chorus, not a Niki Sixx heroin coma-death resuscitation.

The bottle could have even been a thrill of the moment slip of the hand kind of thing. Odds are she wouldn't be crying if it were spiteful. Niki's a b****, the Cru sucks. End of story...

If the bottle had hit poor ol' Mick Mars, then yeah, maybe that would have been justified.

Some people are forgetting that he threw the bottle into the crowd first (or maybe they didn't comprehend the article). I guess it's ok for the guy on stage to throw a half full bottle of water into the crowd but not ok for someone in the crowd to throw it back. If he had hit me with it, I can guarantee I would have thrown it back more accurately and with more force than that chick did.

I personally can't agree with the former Master of Ceremonies fan :P TimW got it right in post 30 as far as I'm concerned. And I'm not defending 'the Crue' (not a fan), that's just my take on the situation. Either way, it was all worth it in the end - I got to laugh at a funny vid :)
