February 14, 2011, 13 years ago
MÖTLEY CRÜE / SIXX: A.M. bassist Nikki Sixx is featured in an interview conducted on Fubruary 13th at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, CA. Check it out below:
Sixx recently issued the following confession:
“Ok, So I know a hell of a lot of you follow @rockfacts and I always talk about it. Well, truth be told I AM Rockfacts. I just felt we needed a place to get cool info on music DAILY and now it really turned into something fucking bad ass. So, after all the drugs, the girls and the mansions burning up in flames, this is my last confession…at least for now. So now you can follow it and I can feed you updates, guilt free.”As previously reported, on April 12th, Sixx' SIXX: A.M. will publish This Is Gonna Hurt: Music, Photography And Life Through The Distorted Lens Of Nikki Sixx, the follow-up to his 2007 New York Times bestseller The Heroin Diaries: A Year In The Life Of A Shattered Rock Star. The companion album of the same name is due out on May 10th, while the first single, 'Lies Of The Beautiful People', is due out on March 1st.
Sixx describes the "This is Gonna Hurt" book as "very personal. It's definitely not an autobiography," he tells Billboard. "I don't write with an editor in mind or critique myself. It's just me shooting from the hip. Sometimes it's tirades and rants. Sometimes it's very focused. Sometimes it's very sentimental and soft and reflective. Sometimes it's brutal in is assholeishness. It's all my opinion, and I stand by it."
The Heroin Diaries Soundtrack has sold more than 300,000 copies while the single 'Life Is Beautiful' was the most played rock track of 2008. But Sixx says Sixx: A.M. is not worried about matching those achievements this time out.
"What's really nice is the fact no one in the band really cares about success," he says. "The band is set up to not really succeed but just to be self-gratifying -- a lot like my photography. It's definitely not about trying to fit in. The three of us have something that nobody else has and we feel very close to it and it's very emotional and we love what it is. But we don't know what it is at the same time, so we're kind of protective about it."Read the entire interview here.
Sixx will be discussing his new book This Is Gonna Hurt: Music, Photography And Life Through The Distorted Lens and companion album on Thursday, March 10th at Canadian Music Week (Fairmont Royal York Hotel, Toronto).
