The band wrote this as tribute to their lives in Los Angeles, and the hardships of the rock world that they experienced on the Sunset Strip. It was also was a rally song to those who lived life on the "Wild Side." (thanks, Josh - Sunbury, PA)
In his book The Heroin Diaries , Nikki Sixx explained how the song came to be: He was casually seeing a catholic school girl and one day asked her to recite the lord's prayer. He thought it sounded cool, so he messed with it, and out came "Wild Side." (thanks, Rhino Sixx - huddersfirld, England)
