Once a fan talked in a discussion: " I really would like to look like Nikki Sixx but play Bass like Steve Harris. But unfortunetaly I look like Steve Harris and play Bass like Nikki Six." That's life ;)
Never say I'm a crue fan but Nikki is a great interviewer,I love his genuine enthusiasm for music
Metal music is so awesome...we all have a story that begins with "I remember the first time I heard...I was blown away!."
I attend a guitar club in college and it has alot of girls. They all play acoustic which is fine but when I brought my Flying V and little Fender amp they all wanted to play it. I then showed them videos of Nita and Orianthi playing. Put it this way, 4 electric guitars and amps were bought that week. Nita kicks ass !
Nice! I can see why. This girl is super bomb!
@@CrossTheLine1000 you wish.
I love how much she's done and how far she's come. From The Iron Maidens to Alice Cooper. A beautiful talented woman who can play guitar better than I even will.
Saw her open up for the Crue with Alice cooper awhile back, her stage presence is crazy awesome
her enthusiasm is very rejuvenating
I'd like to see one with Tony Iommi
Had the privilege of meeting Nita a couple years ago. She is incredibly humble and down to earth, made everyone feel welcome and talked to you like you were close friend.
Nita Strauss is an awesome guitarist.
you have low standards for awesomeness.
@@BillDerBerg ur low standard
@Mark Swarbrick u have much facehair for a female
@Mark Swarbrick "She"
John J. Sanchez 😂😂 this fucking guy. This guy that absolutely nobody has ever heard of ever who’s name sounds like a third choice Mexican soccer player
“I don’t play like that!” 😂😂😂
As a music teacher I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard that! Hilarious!
She's fantastic! At just 30, she is going to get even better as a player. Really nice personality. Fun episode.
Nita is so incredible! Love her technique,style ,tone and personality! She's a great role model for all guitarists! You Rock Nita!
Dude! why aren't you getting more views! Your content is amazing. Keep them coming Nikki I watch for them every day.
She was born when Girls Girls Girls came out......crazy.
*No, she was born in 86... **_Girls_** was 1987*
In 86 I was 24 LOL
ok, that makes me feel old, I saw that tour...w/ guns,lol in '87
I was 16 when this beauty was born
F@ck, I was 36. Arrrrgggghhhhh!
I love the way she talks about guitar. I felt the same way when. It brings back the excitement like you can't wait to wake up in the morning to see what else you can come up with. Love you Nikki and you to Nita
Need a Mick Mars one!
mick already said no, he would be awesome!
Mick lives in Nashville and not willing to make the journey. Isn't that dude unwell though?
yes he lives there, making an album. nikki talks about mick with john 5, this show ends before micks new cd comes out. motley was my fave group of all time, sad there not friends at all.
Nikki said none of the Motley crue Members are close to each other they don't talk are hang around each other off stage.
Mick told Nikki to fuck off, and rightfully so.
Rock&Roll needs Nikki Sixx and SixSense!! Nikki has become the pioneer for the future of hard rock and metal music. Imo.
She’s gonna go down as one of the all-time great guitar players. What a talent!
Mr. Sixx, I'm so glad you've survived all you've been through! You've found your future...it's doing this! You've got the natural ability! Way to go, man!
i love the way all these rock gods..and godess' are so humbled by their influences..great series
NITA u r the definition of ROCK!
I absolutely love This Women.
You are not only an amazing guitarist but amazing on stage.
When I saw u with Alice, I couldn't take my eyes off u.
U were all over that stage! Myself being a guitarist for a long time am in awe of you.
Much respect and Love!!!
Nita is just as beautiful on the inside as on the outside! SO inspirational THX.
10:20 "Can I switch guitars? Real quick?"
She wasn't kidding, that was real quick! 😲
Great player. Has such a passion for the instrument.
I really liked her I never even heard of her so glad I watched this.
I love Nita! Most talented and sweetest lady in all of Rock.
Nikki It's about time you got the best talent and beauty and intelligent guitarist on the planet
"You get addicted to that feeling of getting better" well said!
Yesterday I heard Nita Strauss for the first time in my life. It was so magic to see and hear her playing guitar. I told my friend, who introduced me to listening to Nita, that this guitarist is such a brilliant genius. She has an extraordinary beautiful tune, and I like to put her on the same level as Steve Vai and Jason Becker.
Now after spending 20 hours on TH-cam, watching different videos with Nita Strauss, I have found that Steve Vai and Jason Becker are two of her guitar heroes, and Nita is playing guitar just as brilliant as her guitar heroes. So dear Nita, I'm looking forward to hear moore from you. A new guitar hereo of major importance is born, and her name is Nita Strauss.
Saw her in concert with Alice 2 weeks ago. It was like watching the female metal version of Angus Young, her stage presence is insane & playing is excellent. She’s going to be around for a long time to come
Love me some Nita Nikki, thanks for having her on.
I got to say this type of show is long overdue. I listen to Sixx sense at work and stuff, and I always thought Nikki could or would do something cool outside the regular format, and , prayers answered, what a cool show, I just happened on it today, don't know how long it's been going on, coolest show on earth right now for me. I play guitar, boy, I love talking about the actual music stuff, the real nuts and bolts that make some great songs, by the people who created them, that's awesome. I've always loved rock, metal, I mean I get into into it all, jazz, funk, country, but it was the early rock as a youngster that made me want to do music, I'm an analog guy like y'all, Zep, Aerosmith,Alice, The Sweet, Grand Funk, Cream Ozzy , Motley, Tull, BTO, KISS, Van Halen , Frampton, Deep Purple, ACDC.......etc. blah blah I could go on and on, Stones, Beatles, S, I santana.... There's so much to cover and I hope this show goes on forever, right on Nikki thank you, yeah , talk about real theory, real "tapping" , heavy riffs, bass stuff, I love bass, I'm a guitarist, but lately I want to play bass, most important instrument, solo lines the whole way through that help define the song in strong ways, yep, love to hear about bass stuff to
She's one of my favs
Would love to see my absolute favorite guitar player Angus Young.
It amazes me how naturally gifted players are so humble and talk themselves down like, "I'm not that good". Yeah, right. Nita is amazing. Nikki is amazing. Love this outlet, Nikki! Thank you!
Nikki - these videos are brilliant. But they need to be longer please - and we need more 🤘
I love how he talks to her like any other guitar player and not just some "hot chick".
I've seen Nita live with Alice. She is an amazing player!
Nita really kicks butt. I love her playing.
@4:39 "Oh, man! I wanted some Guns 'n Roses", she says, with the bass player of Motley Crüe sitting right there.
That HAD to sting a bit.
Two of my fav players!! If you haven't seen Nita play then pull up an Alice Cooper concert video. She is full form rock!
Saw her with Alice... truly awesome! Great show! Alice is still great and he always manages to find amazing musicians to play with them...
Dime would've been great to have on this show!
Or Randy or Jimi or Stevie Ray or Gary Moore or Jeff Hanneman or Gary Ritchrath or anyone really if they weren't dead.
matteson5150 May he Rest In Peace.
Maybe Steve Clark? Since Phil was in the show.........
May he Rest In Peace too
Not many of us get to the "Idols Become our Peers" level of playing ?
Congratulations on all your hard work. Revel in your time and enjoy all the rewards and accolades that you have earned from your hard work !!!!
Nita is. A fantastic guitarists shes awesome wouldn't mind her autograph
She's amazing. Need Mick on here so bad.
Seen her 3 or 4 times she is great
Awesome series!!! and Nita is an amazing, talented shredder!
I love this series dude... Keep em coming!
As a guitarist i agree , Eating um up like candy . Love um Nikki Like you said KEEP EM COMING NIKKI , PLEASE !!!!!
This just GOOD STUFF! I subbed during this. Nita has her own style, and she's dialing it in better every day! Love her pitch harmonics, but she really has a unique " hammer" style she does when pulling rhythm duty I've admired enough to steal some for my own. Keep on keeping on. This series on tube is a must see!
Awesome stuff man. I really like this format, Nikki. Honestly never heard of Nita Strauss until this video. She's pretty damn good, and easy on the eyes too, and seems super nice. What a dynamite combo.
Courtney Cox is amazing too!!!
Yeah, I have never seen Alice Cooper. Not really a huge fan, but I should see a show of his at one point, before he retires. I never did get to see Rush, and they retired, so I'm SOL on that one. I just don't get a chance to do things like that very often anymore.
ka hafa Yes! I love both of them and I’m so grateful I get the opportunity to meet Courtney next year.
Man...Totally respect Nikki.
Thanks for the Memories. The best one would be sitting front row Center for Theatre of pain tour in in Indianapolis Indiana at Market square Arena 1985.
Yeah buddy

Nita Strauss. Respect. Lots of up-strokes in there. Nice!
Nikki...please bring your show back!
I saw her when I went to go see Alice Cooper a couple months back. She killed it!
Love them both. Gotta check out more Nita. Nikki is a great host/interviewer
Great video. Nita Strauss is awesome.
I'm amazed Sixx sense doesn't have a million subscribers. I just discovered these 2 days ago and love them.
I agree, I wish he would bring the show back.
Nita Strauss is truly awesome
We need one for James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett, John Petrucci, Joe Satrani, and Joe Perry
Love this girl OMG she sold me when she played with alice cooper and played phenomenonally not to mention her solo and the most amazing whammy dive that she did to finish it off fuck
I WANT that guitar. Gorgeous.
Saw her with Alice Cooper...epic!
Nita is a great player and she seems very cool. I like her.
Nita is such a great player...such a fan!
Nikki is such a good host!
Nita is a Sweetheart and Rules the guitar school🙏
Nita Strauss is talented, funny and beautiful.
That was a awesome interview with Nita
Let’s be honest here Niki was NOT The best bass player in the world when he started playing w the Crew. But his friends really loved him and he also brought other positive things to the band. He practiced hard and got better and better and now he’s Nikki Sixx
Nikki's strengths are lyrics and composition, not just playing bass
Gitfiddle 7766 It doesn’t matter who the best bass player was, Nikki is a talented guy and deserves recognition
Nikki wrote most Crew tunes he's huge !!
Gitfiddle 7766. He's still not a great bass player. Passable. But...the dude put the Crue together and has written some STELLAR songs
Damn! That switch was real quick. I could watch these on a loop.
Just seen her playing with Alice Cooper at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre she was fantastic
I love this womans attuited. She rocks need more like her
Pinch harmonic queen 😍😂
This woman kicks ass. Loved her in Hired Gun movie.
30 years ago, Nikki + blonde + couch wouldn't be about guitar riffs
Natural brunette but she does blonde well
Most women hes been with probably couldnt play a tambourine
😂😂😂😂
How true.
I get what your saying. However this chick can play and she is the sweetist person ever and down to earth
She's a great guitar player,Saw her with Alice at Motleys Farewell tour,Alice sounded better than Vince but thats not too hard to do
Heard her w/ sixx this am and she is like,to me,a cross between slash,for riffs,and evh,
for those pinch harmonics! ! All I know is tonite after my
dentist, I will hit MY harmonics charts,etc
this show needs to come back
I'd love to see CC Deville on here. He's so funny, entertaining and loud. And he is a riff monster..
Check out her playing the national anthem at the LA Kiss football games. That where I first saw her amd she blew me away and then halfway through the season she signed with Alice Cooper
You Rock Nita!!!
WOW shes amazing
Funny how Vai is on another level amongst players who are on another level.
Such a cute down earth humble player and great player
Wow she has really got it going on,really digging your episodes
Awesome interview, thanks for sharing.
she said it perfectly. that feeling of being addicted to getting better. now i can tell my wife my addiction isnt gear acquisition syndrome, its addiction to being a better player...
I love the melodic change you did in Poison. Great guitarist.
Such a pleasure to see a beautiful girl like her keeping the guitar business on with Alice. Great video!
