Mötley Crüe

- Dean Balsamini, Wires

A 1986 conversati­on with bassist Nikki Sixx struck the perfect chord prior to a shoot with Mötley Crüe. “Nikki said to me, ‘Do what you want. Just make it glammy and dramatic,’ ” remembered Rock.

“They were out of their f--king minds with cocaine. They made me look like an amateur — and I was no amateur. At one point during the session, Vince Neil disappeare­d with some bird.”

As for this image, Rock said, “They were completely wild and fun and there happened to be a bathtub [in the studio]. Somebody told them to get in; so they did and poured in the bubble bath. I thought it was the perfect photo, but for some reason their record label didn’t use it.”

Don’t believe your eyes! The North Carolina Transporta­tion Department assured drivers a wall holding up a new overpass in Raleigh is not about to collapse.

The wall holding up the span from I-440 West to I-40 East appears to be leaning, but it’s an optical illusion resulting from the wall being built on a curve.

Meat your match. Burger King in Japan is offering a new one-pound burger for $16.50, which features four beef patties, two slices of cheese, garlic flakes mixed with a powder made of Japan’s “spiciest golden pepper,” its own original hot sauce and sliced onions between two sesame buns.

Anyone who finishes this whopper, dubbed the “Strong Magma Super One Pound Beef Burger,” gets a sticker and perhaps a stomach ache.

Dig this. Workers for a Welsh utility company excavating a trench to relocate a pole on a customer’s property discovered what they initially believed to be a cave.

It turned out to be a manmade four-foot-high medieval tunnel. The Tintern Abbey ironworks ruins, near the site of the tunnel’s discovery, date from the 1100s.

A couple driving home from Florida escaped serious injury when they swerved to avoid a couch that fell from a truck on I-95.

But they couldn’t escape a hit to their bank account, after a state trooper stopped at the hospital and slapped them with a $166 traffic ticket for “failing to drive in a single lane.”

Go to hell! A frightened woman, 20, told cops in the Boston subway system that a creepy man dressed all in black, including a mask covering his face, and hood drawn tight, typed something on his phone, extended his arm and displayed the message, “I am Satan!”

It was apparently a bid to flirt with the gal, the would-be “Prince of Darkness” told cops, who ejected him anyway.
