He's a hair band enthusiast in West Palm Beach, Florida who longs for the Eighties and a better TV. Meet RRC Nikki Sixx.

trixie360: What's the story behind your Gamertag?

RRC Nikki Sixx: Well I used to be known as Hurricanes711. Then I joined my friend's clan Reload Rampage, and I needed to add RRC for that, so I figured I would just change the whole thing and my idol, Nikki Sixx popped up in my head first, so it's RRC Nikki Sixx.

RRC Nikki Sixx is ready to rock.

trixie360: What do you do in Florida?

RRC Nikki Sixx: Professional Smart Ass. I'm unemployed and out of school. Target rejected me.

trixie360: Ouch. What's the worst or weirdest job you've ever had?

RRC Nikki Sixx: I haven't had a real job but I have helped my Mom with hers. The worst was helping to install hurricane shutters. That was the absolute worst. Working in 90-degree weather makes you want to kill yourself.

trixie360: How long have you been on Xbox LIVE®?

RRC Nikki Sixx: I've had Xbox LIVE for over four years. MechAssault® got me addicted.

trixie360: Do you have an archenemy on Xbox LIVE?

RRC Nikki Sixx: My archenemy is definitely OPTEMPO, it's like a love/hate thing that has been going on for four years.

trixie360: What's your Xbox set-up like?

RRC Nikki Sixx: Ugh, I'm playing on a horrible 32-inch SDTV.

trixie360: Too bad you didn't get that Target employee discount! What's the best feature of Xbox LIVE?

RRC Nikki Sixx: The ability to mute annoying people that breathe loudly. 

trixie360: What do you think is the best game of all time?

RRC Nikki Sixx: Star Wars®: Knights of the Old Republic™, you can't beat a Star Wars RPG with light sabers.

KOTOR rules.

trixie360: The Twi'lek freak me out. They look very … moist. What do you think is the best film of all time?

RRC Nikki Sixx: Changes about every week but right now Casino holds the top spot. By the way, great movie. 

trixie360: What do you think is the best album of all time?

RRC Nikki Sixx: Shout at the Devil by Mötley Crüe. If you haven't heard it, go buy it right now.

trixie360: What's the funniest thing you've ever heard on Xbox LIVE?

RRC Nikki Sixx: Playing UNO® with codenames for the cards; people thought my friend and I were out of our minds.

trixie360: What is your greatest Xbox LIVE moment?

RRC Nikki Sixx: Being a top ten player in Team Deathmatch on MechAssault way back in the day. Good times, good times.

Before Rock Band, RRC Nikki Sixx was a demon in MechAssault.

trixie360: Who is your inner rock star?

RRC Nikki Sixx: Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan from Avenged Sevenfold, he is so hilarious. Hell of a drummer too.

trixie360: If they made a movie about your life, who should play you?

RRC Nikki Sixx: Steve Carell. I think we're pretty alike when it comes to personality.

trixie360: What superpower would you like to have?

RRC Nikki Sixx: The ability to manipulate time. Back to the Eighties!

trixie360: If I went back to the 80s, I would go to a Police concert. Maybe Duran Duran, too! If you could trade places with anyone for one day, who would it be?

RRC Nikki Sixx: I would love to be Conan O'Brien for a day! His hair is amazing and he's one of the funniest people alive.

trixie360: What celebrity would be the worst roommate?

RRC Nikki Sixx: Have to say Axl Rose. He has such a bad attitude and I'd probably get hit if I said Velvet Revolver was better than the new Guns 'N Roses.

trixie360: Hot celeb you'd like to be stranded on a desert island with?

RRC Nikki Sixx: Kat Von D.

trixie360: If you could be any videogame character, who would it be?

RRC Nikki Sixx: Dom from Gears of War, I've always wanted to saw giant bugs in half.

Everyone wants a chainsaw on the end of their gun.

trixie360: What's the worst food you've ever eaten?

RRC Nikki Sixx: Onions, oh my God, so disgusting. Cue the gagging.

trixie360: That's the worst thing you've ever eaten? Onions? What's the last book you read?

RRC Nikki Sixx: I Am America (And So Can You!) by Dr. Stephen T. Colbert. Second book I've read in my entire life for the pleasure.

trixie360: If you could go on tour with any band, which would it be?

RRC Nikki Sixx: Mötley Crüe, of course. Yeah, they're all close to hitting 50 but they still know how to party.

trixie360: The Crüe still rocks for sure. What do you predict will be the "next big thing" in gaming?

RRC Nikki Sixx: Being able to download current-gen games. Internet providers just need to hurry up and increase our speeds, FiOS FTW!

trixie360: What do you think is the best thing about Xbox 360®?

RRC Nikki Sixx: The Vision Camera. I find myself acting like an idiot for hours watching myself on the dashboard.

trixie360: Major Nelson does the same thing with his mirror. What is the Xbox 360 Achievement that was hardest to get?

RRC Nikki Sixx: Flawless Groove on Rock Band™, all up-strokes using the bass on expert. That one hurt the most.

trixie360: What would you like to be doing in ten years?

RRC Nikki Sixx: I would love to be working in the technology or marketing. Microsoft, call me.
