Nikki Sixx (Mötley Crüe) Finishing Up New Book

Posted by caemanamelio on

Nikki Sixx (Mötley Crüe) has revealed that he is currently finishing up his next book. He said the following about that:

“Outdoor office weather for sure today in Jackson. 3rd time reading through the new book. This ain’t a bad place to do it. I’d say 60 pages to go? Then starts the editing ( Open Heart Surgery With A Chainsaw ) Book cover is done. Soon starts the design element of the book. Got a lot of photos to go through. I love this process. The question I always ask people who tell me they wanna write a book is ‘Why?’ Is it a vanity project or do you really have something you need to say? I take that to heart before I start a new book. I’ve learned a lot about myself during this book process but what I really hope is you learn and remember somethings about yourself.”

Nikki Sixx (Mötley Crüe) And Stephen Perkins (Jane’s Addiction) Guest On New Gilby Clarke (Ex-Guns N’ Roses) Song “Tightwad”

Posted by caemanamelio on

Gilby Clarke (ex-Guns N’ Roses) has premiered a new song titled “Tightwad.” The track, which features Nikki Sixx (Mötley Crüe) and Stephen Perkins (Jane’s Addiction), will appear on Clarke’s upcoming album “The Gospel Truth.”

Clarke commented:

“This song was written around a guitar riff I discovered while trying out a new fuzz pedal. Lyrically I was inspired by deceit, treachery and the creative extremes people will go through to get ahead. I tried to get my message through with humor, but if it hits to close to home, maybe we all should take a closer look at ourselves and make improvements.

I was lucky to have some wonderful musician friends contribute to the recording of this track, Nikki Sixx and Stephen Perkins. Stephen, as always, came through with a beat that drives the song and Nikki found a cool bass groove that accentuates the feel I was looking for. I tried to get my message through with humor, but sometimes the truth hurts.”

There have been many big losses in the music world but few that just stop you in your tracks, leave you speechless and basically unable to function. Similarly, very few for whom you can say – as for countless others in your field – that without this person, you might not be who you are today, for your life would look very different. Ironically I was just planning to post a new track I’ve been holed up working on that’s directly influenced by him, playing an instrument based on his (swipe to see). It doesn’t feel appropriate to post it today (it’s another humorous song a la Zappa…maybe tomorrow), and the timing is eerie. There so much more to say, at a total loss for words. I can’t believe I have to type this right now: RIP #eddievanhalen 😢💔 #ripevh

Nikki Sixx On Sixx:A.M.: “We’re Not Working On An Album Right Now; We’re Working On Individual Tracks”

Posted by caemanamelio on

Sixx:A.M. recently released a new song titled “Talk To Me“, but it appears that there isn’t going to be a new full-length album from the band anytime soon. Nikki Sixx said the following during an appearance on the “Worst Firsts With Brittany Furlan” podcast:

“We’re releasing stuff, little by little. No touring or anything right now… We’re not working on album right now; we’re working on individual tracks. A lot of the music’s gonna be going into [“The Heroin Diaries”] musical that we’re working on right now. So it’s 99 percent SIXX:A.M. music [in the musical], ’cause those lyrics were written around the subject. And there’s probably four or five new songs as well that are in the musical from that.”

Vince Neil & Nikki Sixx Blast Reelz For Mötley Crüe Episode Of “Breaking The Band”

Posted by caemanamelio on

It looks like Vince Neil and Nikki Sixx are not too happy with the new Mötley Crüe episode of Reelz’s “Breaking The Band” series. Both musicians have taken to social media to voice their concerns about the documentary, which Sixx says was unauthorized.

Here’s what Neil had to say:

“Breaking the band, fucking memories from a manager Doug Thaler who can’t remember that he’s the one who actually broke up the band! The band didn’t break up because of me racing. It broke up because he was too much of a pussy who didn’t just say, ‘Hey guys, let’s take a week off and come back with cooler heads.’ He called me an hour later and said I was out of the band! Great management! What he didn’t say was, instead of me going racing I put out a top 10 single with ‘You’re Invited’ — oops he forgot! Then an album called ‘Exposed’ — oops, forgot again! No wonder he was fired shortly after.”

Here’s what Sixx had to say:

“Breaking the band was not authorized by Mötley Crüe. Our lawyers sent them a cease-and-desist and further action will be taken.@ReelzChannel Is the bottom of the barrel.”

“Should @ReelzChannel be liable for putting out shows without so many artist approval? I am very disappointed that they think they can tell our LIFE story just to sell advertising ( mostly incorrect ) and without any bodies persmission.”

We have a greatest-hits [collection coming out] that’s gonna tie in to [“The Heroin Diaries”] musical.
