According to the show&#8217;s shoutout online, the knuckleheads at AI apparently don&#8217;t realize Sixx plays four strings.. not six.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>&#8220;The baddest guitar player in Rock &amp; Roll, Nikki Sixx, welcomes Lionel, Luke, and Katy to the Sunset Strip!
