"Nikki Sixx is on Team Tyler.\r\nOn his syndicated radio show Sixx Sense Wednesday, the rocker stood up for Steven Tyler, currently in a war of words with Kid Rock over his new gig as an American Idol judge.\r\n&amp;quot;I don&amp;apos;t have a problem with Kid Rock,&amp;quot; Sixx explained.  (Kid Rock has bashed Tyler&amp;apos;s Idol stint as &amp;quot;the stupidest thing he&amp;apos;s ever done.&amp;quot;)\r\nPHOTOS: Big-time celebrity feuds\r\n&amp;quot;I get what he&amp;apos;s trying to do -- he&amp;apos;s trying to say American Idol is cheesy&amp;#x2026;but the whole point of Steven Tyler being on American Idol is to not make it cheesy!&amp;quot;\r\nThe former Motley Crue member pointed out that the Aerosmith frontman is &amp;quot;a real artist...he knows how to write songs, he plays instruments; he&amp;apos;s one of the greatest singers and one of the greatest front men of all time. So who&amp;apos;s better to judge somebody then Steven? There should be more Steven Tylers on there!&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nSixx added that he recently chatted with Tyler about potentially finding &amp;quot;the next Jimi Hendrix, the next Janis Joplin&amp;quot; via Idol.\r\n&amp;quot;This is a positive thing for music,&amp;quot; he insisted. &amp;quot;This is a pipeline that we usually don&amp;apos;t have.&amp;quot;\r\nWhy is Kid Rock causing such a fuss? &amp;quot;[It] feels to me that he&amp;apos;s just really trying to get attention,&amp;quot; Sixx suggested. &amp;quot;I do know this: Steven is doing a forward-thinking, really cool thing.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
