Nikki Admits His Band Will Always Remember KISS’ Kindness
Previously, Nikki Sixx has expressed his gratitude for KISS in an interview he made with Go Up State and stated that his band will always remember their kindness.
“Kiss and Ozzy [Osbourne] were the two bands that gave us our first shot,” he said. “I look back, and it was a short amount of dates [with Kiss.] It was four or six dates, but they gave us our first taste of playing up and down the [West] coast and on big stages. We’ll always remember that. They’re fond memories.
“With their makeup and pyro-filled live show, Kiss was a tough act to precede to the stage, but Sixx said his band wasn’t fazed by opening for Kiss.”
