An Open Letter from Tommy Lee to Nikki Sixx and the Entire Generation Guns N’ Roses Community which will leave you speechless…

I’ve been sitting here, reflecting on the wild ride we’ve all been part of, and I felt compelled to write something that’s been weighing on my mind. It’s not just another message; it’s a heartfelt open letter from one drummer to another, and to everyone who’s ever felt the raw power, the chaos, and the unbreakable bond of this extraordinary community.

First off, Nikki, man — you and I have shared more than just stages; we’ve shared the rollercoaster of rock ‘n’ roll life. We’ve seen the highs, the lows, the chaos, and the beautiful moments that make this journey so damn unpredictable. Our paths may have diverged at times, but the fire that fuels us, that relentless passion for music and rebellion, has always kept us connected. I want you to know that I respect you — as a fellow musician, a brother in this chaos, and as someone who understands the unspoken language of rock.

To the entire Guns N’ Roses community — this includes every fan, every band member past and present, every person who’s ever felt the thrill of a live show, and every soul who finds meaning in the music we create. You are the heartbeat of this movement. You are the reason we keep pushing forward, even when the road gets rough. Your love, your energy, your devotion — it’s what keeps this flame burning bright.

But today, I want to talk about something bigger. A new era is upon us. The world is changing faster than ever, and the landscape of rock music is evolving. Yet, one thing remains constant: the power of community. The power of shared passion, of standing together in the face of adversity, and of keeping the spirit of rebellion alive.

We’re living in a time where division and noise threaten to drown out the real voice — the voice of true artists, true fans, and true community. But I believe in us. I believe that the core of this community — the Guns N’ Roses family — can be a force for good. We can be a beacon of authenticity, of raw emotion, of unfiltered truth.

This is a call to all of us to step up. To honor the roots that got us here, but also to embrace the changes that make us stronger. Let’s use our voices, our platforms, and our music to inspire, to unite, and to push back against the superficial and the fake. Let’s remind the world that rock ‘n’ roll isn’t just a sound — it’s a way of life. It’s a feeling that runs deep, beyond the stage and beyond the spotlight.

Nikki, I know you’ve always been the rebel, the outsider who refused to conform. That’s what made you and GNR legendary. And I want to say, in front of everyone, that your spirit still lives within this community. It’s in every riff, every lyric, every outburst of raw emotion. Keep that fire burning. Keep reminding the world what real rock is.

To the fans — you are the soul of this movement. Your loyalty, your passion, your voice — it’s what makes this community so unique. Never let anyone tell you that your love for this music is insignificant. It’s revolutionary. It’s transformative. And it’s eternal.

As we step into this new era, I challenge all of us to be more than just spectators. Let’s be creators. Let’s be messengers of change. Whether you’re on stage, in the crowd, or behind the scenes, remember — we are all part of this story. Our collective energy, our shared love for the music, has the power to shape the future.

So here’s my promise — I will continue to fight for the authenticity and rawness that made us fall in love with this music in the first place. I will stand with Nikki and every one of you who refuses to sell out, who refuses to compromise. Because this isn’t just about the past — it’s about building a future where rock ‘n’ roll remains alive, fierce, and free.

In closing, I want to say thank you. To Nikki, to the community, to everyone who keeps the spirit of Guns N’ Roses alive. We are more than just a band — we are a movement, a family, an unbreakable force of nature.
