Sixx A.M

Anyone here into this band?

Eariler today, I saw the video for their song, "Life Is Beautiful"... a great hard rock sound, with aggressive vocals.

According to Wikipedia, this band is the brain-child of Nikki Sixx.

Good stuff.

Wrong room! Shifting this to the Metal Mayhem room!

I've heard it a few times, but I'm still trying to make up my mind on it. It's very well done, but a bit too modern for my tastes. I did find myself singing "Life Is Beautiful" this morning though. Catchy!

I'm also not too sure about the concept. While it's a cool idea and I'm sure it was very cathartic for Nikki Sixx, does it make for an album that I will want to listen to over and over? Time will tell.

Regardless, it is a very well done album, with good songs.

Easily one of the best "modern rock" albums of the past decade. It was a pleasant surprise to hear Nikki shift away from the punkish overtones of his last few projects. The album is supposed to be the soundtrack to his book "The Heroin Diaries".

I don't like it at all. It sounds way to cliche for my ears.

What did you think was cliche about it? I thought it actually sounded quite unique and different than most typical modern rock.

LOVE IT!!! Tracks 2-7 especially.... Very cool stuff that is even better when you have read the book because it IS the soundtrack of that book.

It just sounds really generic. It reminded me of when Motley Crue put out those new songs for Red White and Crue. Icky-poo!

I'm really loving this thing. It's good to finally here him have a decent vocalist to sing his material and allow him to open up in the range-dept. a little. :p

I think the lyrics really put this album over the top for me. Some really great lines in there...

I know some things that you don't
I've done things that you won't
There's nothing like a trail of blood to find your way back home

Tomorrow,
You'll have to cross bridges that you burned today

GP,

Have you had a chance to read the book? Getting into the lyrics like you have, I think you might appreciate them that much more if you did.

I've told a lot of people that...you appreciate the music more as a soundtrack to the book...

In a lot of ways, it is a very tough read...hard to believe the guy is even alive.

I'm enjoying "Heroin Diaries".

I really like the tune Van Nuys.

Reminds me of a modern edgy Carman.
