M\u00d6TLEY CR\u00dcE<\/strong>‘s fearless leader Nikki Sixx<\/strong> faces accusations of “finger syncing” during his live stage performances, while prerecorded audio is fed through the PA system at gigs. Now word going around is that Sixx never played one note on any Crue studio album and is not responsible for writing any of the band’s famous songs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As fans eagerly await the Crue’s first new full length studio album in 16 years to release this year, there has been rumors of AI technology being used, along with ghost performers secretly employed to help get the production in the can, once and for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, it has been speculated that many different “ghost bassists” have substituted for Sixx in the studio without getting any credit. It’s said that songwriting theft has also apparently been going on among the biggest pop stars for years. One person even allegedly got ripped off by the likes of Mariah Carey<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1988, Matthew Trippe<\/strong> launched a lawsuit against Doc McGhee<\/strong>, the manager of M\u00d6TLEY CR\u00dcE<\/strong>. Mr. Trippe was claiming that he had been bassist Nikki Sixx<\/strong>\u2019s doppelg\u00e4nger in the band for just over a year from May 1983 to the summer of 1984 and “was owed royalties for writing many of the band\u2019s songs in that time.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TMD reported that the new studio album Sixx is attempting to work on without Mick Mars<\/strong> will feature ghost bassist Bob Rock<\/strong>, the album’s producer, believe it or not, not Nikki Sixx<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rumour says Bob Rock to be M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce\u2019s ghost bassist on their new album.
