Ex-MÖTLEY CRÜE Singer John Corabi: “I’m not going to cover up anything or pretend!”

MÖTLEY CRÜE is in the midst of one their worst scandals of their career, now that Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee and Vince Neil have all got busted lip-syncing and using backing tracks for vocals and instruments at live concerts.

It’s safe to say that ex-Crue vocalist John Corabi does not see eye to eye with Nikki Sixx on many subjects. The singer talked about rockers usage of pre-recorded tracks in a Cameo video message requested by the Syncin’ Stanley YouTube channel.

“Personally, I don’t use them. Me personally, I don’t believe in ’em, but again, that’s me. Somebody else may. I know when I was in MÖTLEY, we used to use some enhancements on the backing vocals and orchestra parts and things like that. But for the most part nowadays, it’s just two guitars, bass, drums and a vocal, and just go.”

John previously discussed the use of backing tracks during live concerts in a 2016 interview with Rock Music Star.

The singer stated: “Listen, there’s some nights, where I go on stage, and I’m like, ‘Shit, I don’t know if I’m going to be able to hit that note.’ I change the melody a little bit. Bands have good nights, and they have bad nights. I’m not going to cover up anything or pretend. For me, personally, that’s just my thought process.

Corabi has also gone on the record to say that Mick Mars was fired by Nikki Sixx.
