Dave Douglas as “NIKKI SIXX”
One of his first performances in costume was at Fakefest 2001 at the Star Lake Amphitheater in front of over 4000 screaming fans. After 10 years of playing KISS in DEUCE and numerous other KISS tributes up and down the east coast, he felt it was time for something different, he joined Dr Feelgood, a Mötley Crüe tribute. That band played for a year before splitting up, but Dave still had that passion… a few years later that passion wound up turning into the opportunity to introduce his fans to "LIVE WIRE".
Dave enjoys what he does & it shows. “GO BIG OR GO HOME” is his motto. Dave still does KISS shows with Deuce and Dave even performs in an Eagles tribute- Desperado and an Ace Frehley Tribute- Space Frehley. But LIVE WIRE will always be his "Home Sweet Home"!
Justin Walker as “TOMMY LEE”
Justin Walker played in numerous bands throughout the Pittsburgh area, with experience extending to New York City. Over the years, he has been a part of original, cover, and tribute projects building a versatile and dynamic presence behind the kit. Inspired early on by his Dad, Justin found his passion for drumming at a young age. That passion was solidified by Tommy Lee and Motley Crue, whose influence led him to pursue a lifelong connection with rock n' roll. Attending the Carnival of Sins tour in 2005 marked his first concert experience and left a lasting impression.
Justin takes pride in studying Tommy Lee's iconic performances- from heavy grooves and tasteful licks to the unmistakable, high- energy showmanship behind the drums. He brings that same intensity and attention to detail to every performance, honoring the music while delivering an unforgettable live experience.
Justin also plays in Arena Daze- paying tribute to the explosive soundscapes of the 70's and 80's iconic stadium rock era.
Be sure to catch him live and experience the energy for yourself!
