Rock Beat, 1989

Tommy Lee and Nikki Sixx pose for Rock Beat Crüe cover story, featuring an extensive interview with Nikki about "Dr. Feelgood and the joys of being sober, creative, and crazy." Nikki told writer Janiss Garza that working on Dr. Feelgood was different because "my head for the first time was not in an altogether angry place. It was in a real excitable place, closer to our first album...If you want fruit, you gotta shake the tree. You can't just sit there and wait. Fuck it! Shake the shit out of that tree and let's go! Somethings gotta happen!” Photo: Ross Halfin
