Behind The Photos – Don Adkins
Before Motley Crue, Nikki played in a band called London. During that time, Nikki had befriended a photographer named Don Adkins who would do photos for London.
When Motley Crue formed, Don followed Nikki and started taking photos of Motley. I followed Tommy so Motley Crue had two photographers shooting their early shows.
When it came time to produce Motley Crue’s first single, Nikki being leader of the group, chose his friend Don to do the pictures for the single’s cover.
