Episode Details

Shannon Larkin, ex-Godsmack drummer, responds to Nikki Sixx calling him a “hater” after Larkin criticized bands using backing tracks — specifically noting Sixx’s live performance where vocals played on without him singing. Larkin clarifies he’s a longtime Sixx fan, respects his legacy, and never intended to attack him. He admits he doesn’t use backing tracks himself but accepts they’re common in modern music. Larkin also reveals he left Godsmack to escape the spotlight and live a quieter life, distancing himself from drama and LA’s music scene. He stresses his comments were never meant for conflict or attention — just a personal observation — and hopes to clear the air respectfully.
