Editing Mötley Crüe (section)

===Steel Panther===
The comedic glam metal band [[Steel Panther]] engaged in a feud with Mötley Crüe following a tour between the two bands and [[Def Leppard]] in 2011. Numerous members of Steel Panther claim they were heavily influenced by Mötley Crüe's music; however, touring with the band exhibited a hostile environment, particularly from Nikki Sixx and Tommy Lee. In the years following the tour, guitarist [[Satchel (musician)|Satchel]] claimed Tommy Lee had been rather hostile towards multiple band members due to allegations that he and singer [[Michael Starr (singer)|Michael Starr]] had sex with Lee's girlfriend at the time.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://metalheadzone.com/steel-panther-star-claims-that-he-had-sex-with-motley-crue-members-wife/ |title=Steel Panther Star claims he had sex with Tommy Lee's girlfriend |first1=Eren Merdan |last1=Gursoy |date=2020-01-13 |access-date=2023-04-21 |archive-date=April 12, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230412224426/https://metalheadzone.com/steel-panther-star-claims-that-he-had-sex-with-motley-crue-members-wife/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> Starr also commented on Mötley Crüe's other feud with Godsmack, claiming Sully Erna would severely beat Sixx in a fistfight.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sofa-king-cool-magazine.com/steel-panther-singer-says-sully-erna-could-punch-the-shit-out-of-nikki-sixx/|title=Sully Erna could punch the shit out of Nikki Sixx|access-date=April 12, 2023|archive-date=April 12, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230412225424/http://sofa-king-cool-magazine.com/steel-panther-singer-says-sully-erna-could-punch-the-shit-out-of-nikki-sixx/|url-status=live}}</ref> In a 2015 interview, Starr would claim the members of Mötley Crüe take themselves too seriously given the comedic nature of Steel Panther's music. Sixx would respond in 2016 claiming he prioritized taking his musical contributions much more seriously. During a 2018 interview, Satchel claimed "There are bands that hate our guts... We did a tour a few years ago with Def Leppard and Mötley Crüe". Things escalated in 2019 when drummer [[Stix Zadinia]] and Starr appeared in a video on the channel 'Little Punk People' where the two were asked which dead musicians they could revive; Starr jokingly claimed he wanted to bring back Vince Neil from the 1980s, enraging Sixx, who later attacked Starr on Twitter for his comment. Shortly following the response from Sixx, Steel Panther's band account replied with an interview Mötley Crüe gave from 1994 (whilst Neil was not a part of the band), in which Sixx and guitarist Mick Mars mocked and joked at Neil's weight following a jet ski accident.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://loudwire.com/motley-crue-nikki-sixx-backstabbers-steel-panther/ |title=Motley Crue's Nikki Sixx fires shot at 'Backstabbers' Steel Panther |first1=Graham |last1=Hartmann |website=[[Loudwire]] |date=2019-10-18 |access-date=2023-04-21 |archive-date=April 12, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230412224424/https://loudwire.com/motley-crue-nikki-sixx-backstabbers-steel-panther/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Though Mötley Crüe would not respond to the post, multiple band members of Steel Panther have praised Mötley Crüe's music as influential in multiple interviews afterwards.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://metalinjection.net/news/feuds/steel-panther-frontman-if-i-could-bring-one-musician-back-from-the-dead-itd-be-motley-crues-vince-neil |title=Steel Panther frontman: 'If I could bring one musician back from the dead, it'd be Motley Crue's Vince Neil |first1=Robert |last1=Pasbani |date=2019-10-12 |access-date=2023-04-21 |archive-date=April 12, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230412224424/https://metalinjection.net/news/feuds/steel-panther-frontman-if-i-could-bring-one-musician-back-from-the-dead-itd-be-motley-crues-vince-neil |url-status=live }}</ref>
