Nikki Sixx after criticising Mötley Crue‘s recent performance in Las Vegas.Mötley Crue wrapped up their 2022 North American ‘Stadium Tour’ at Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium on September 9.

Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, Poison and Def Leppard all opened for the group at the gigs.Soussan – who formerly played bass for Ozzy Osbourne, and currently performs in Last In Line – was among those in attendance at the final concert in Sin City.

Taking to social media afterwards, the musician shared a message and a series of images from the show.“Went to see these guys yesterday at #allegiantstadium 2nd row center was pretty awesome!” Soussan began (via Blabbermouth).“#poison were literally nothing but a good time – Bret [Michaels, frontman] and CC [DeVille, guitarist] were terrific. #defleppard of course we’re spectacular and pristine!”He added: “Motley sadly not so much…never seen a place empty out so fast after only a few songs.” Mötley Crüe’s Nikki Sixx subsequently responded to the dig on Instagram, writing “Thanks Phil” alongside a middle-finger emoji.Soussan has since deleted the sentence about Mötley Crüe, and personally apologised to Sixx.

In a new interview with Adika Live, he explained: “It was a great show. It was good. Where I was, the sound wasn’t that great.“I was actually right in the front, but the sound was… either [because of] where I was sitting or [they had a] bad sound man.
