May 22, 2008, 16 years ago
MÖTLEY CRÜE / SIXX A.M.'s Nikki Sixx recently spoke with JuicyBands.com. The following is an excerpt from the interview:
Q: 'Life Is Beautiful' was a huge hit and lately 'Pray For Me' has been getting a lot of radio and video airplay, since you guys didn’t really promote the album or have a desire to do so, how did that come about?
Sixx: "It was a very enjoyable process. A lot of times you have a band, you have a tour, you have an album, you have a single, you work radio, you work press. It’s all very planned. But in this case we made a record and leaked the song out through MySpace. It started to pick up momentum and radio picked up on it. Then we took it to radio and it ended up being the most added song in the country and then climbed the charts. We said why? They said it’s moving, people like it, it’s a great piece of music. We just formed the band Sixx A.M. because people had to go buy the album by somebody. It’s not me, and it’s not James and it’s not D.J., it’s all of us as producers and songwriters. I was driving down the road yesterday and looked down at my Sirius radio, and it said Sixx A.M., 'Life Is Beautiful'. I said, how is that possible?"
Q: They’re making a movie out of the Mötley Crüe book The Dirt. Have you had any interest from movie studios about your book, The Heroin Diaries?
Sixx: It’s interesting. The phone has been ringing. I have to pinch myself. It’s really affecting people emotionally. It’s phenomenal that you can do something positive and still stand up and say, 'I’m rock and roll.' I look it, I walk it, I talk it, I live it, I breathe it.
