Our Own Kim Just Met Nikki Sixx

For whatever reason, the last few posts have been all Motley Crue. Didn't really plan it that way, but whatever. This is too cool not to share. Our own Kim Nordlund, all the way from Sweden, just got to meet Nikki Sixx. She posted about it on her Facebook page and I commented that I would be sharing the story here. 

Kim's post:

"Just thought I'd update you all with the fact that we met NIKKI SIXX last night!!! NIKKI F--ING SIXX!! How about that?! And no, we didn't pay a million dollars for a meet-and-greet, we got personally (!) invited BY HIS WIFE!! Yes, it's true! After the first show we went to, on Friday, we realized Courtney were in the same row as us, so we went up to her to say hi and maybe get a picture. Little did we know that she would be the sweetest person ever! We chatted for a bit and told her that we'd come all the way from Sweden, how this would be our 6th and 7th time seeing Mötley Crüe, and that we would attend the show the following night as well. She says something about how amazing this is before she asks us "have you met Nikki yet?" We just shook our heads in reply to this crazy question, and then she says she's gonna work it out. "I'll give you my phone number, just text me in the morning and I'll leave some VIP passes at will call for you, and then you'll meet Nikki!" Wait, WHAT?!! So the next day, Saturday/yesterday, we started our morning with sending a text to Nikki Sixx's wife (!) and at the same time trying not to get our hopes up. But she replies, and a few hours later we're finding ourselves at the arena with our backstage passes saying we're Courtney's guests and on our way to meet Nikki! We get in, Courtney comes to pick us up and leaves us with security, telling him "these are my friends from Sweden, take care of them, Nikki knows they're coming" - AND THEN WE GOT TO MEET NIKKI SIXX!! And not just that, he was super friendly and absolutely gorgeous (as you can see)! Still can't believe this actually happened, because this shit just doesn't, does it? It's too surreal?! Anyway, IT DID! And it's safe to say that both me and Malin can die happy know! Just thought I'd let you know."

Nice story. Good to see the current Mrs. Sixx had her heart in the right place.

Those moments are so rare and mean so much to fans. Congratulations Kim. I know how exciting something like that can be.

And kudos to Courtney for being so gracious, and to NS for making an incredible moment come true for a fan.

Love moments like that. Congrats. Spontaneous and unexpected make it all the more special.

This is awesome. Good to know stories like this still happen. This memory will last a lifetime.

And Courtney sounds like a wonderful lady for arranging this.

Would like to see more of this kind of thing. This is how we should be meeting our bands. Not paying cash for a 10 second hello and a pic.

And I am sure Tommy would have done the same. Right? ;)

That is an awesome story

Way to go Kim! The stars were aligned just right and the rock 'n roll Gods were watching out for you. I've seen Nikki up close before and he is very attractive. His skin is like porcelain.

That's badass! Cool to know that bands do cool things like this for fans. Nikki seems like a nice dude and his wife was cool for arranging something like that. Hope ya had fun at the show Kim.

Kudos, Kim! How awesome, indeed to meet the Genius himself and under such great circumstances. Looks like Mrs. SIXX is one of the good ones!

p.s. Nice Hair! \m/

Thanks for all the nice comments, feels great to be sharing this with you guys, who actually understand how big this is! And yes, Courtney really is the sweetest. She seemed like she really cared. When we got backstage she was on her way to go and get someone else, a young kid she'd seen on Twitter who also loves Nikki and she made sure that girl got to see him too. Such a wonderful person! And Nikki too, obviously, for taking the time.

Also, if you haven't seen The Final Tour yet, make sure you catch one of the shows - best Mötley Crüe shows I've been to! So much energy and they sounded better than I've ever heard them before. There was also a lot of emotion, especially from Nikki and Vince, it seems like they're starting to realize that this is it. Personally, I can't wait for the tour to hit Europe so I can see them again! (The goal is to have seen them 10 times before they quit, after the weekend in New York I'm at 7 - wish me luck!)

Wow, Kim, you are giving former Deadheads who thrived on traveling to see the Grateful Dead as many times as possible and meeting Jerry Garcia a run for their money.

Since you are seeing Crue 10+ times and it's Nikki Sixx who you met, I guess we should call you a "Back-from-the-Deadhead", bahahaha!!!

Get it?

[Gary]

What an awesome story! Looks to me like Courtney "gets it". And that's getting harder and harder to find in the business these days. Can't you just imagine say,Shannon Tweed doing this? Lmfao. Wonder where Tommy was during all this....

[Metalboy!]

True, True, Gary.
