I’ve been writing about Nikki Sixx’s “This is Gonna Hurt” on my blog and watching it explode in popularity. His memoir “This is Gonna Hurt: Music, Photography, and Life Through the Distorted Lens of Nikki Sixx” released on April 12, 2011 via HarperCollins/WilliamMorrow debuted at #4 on the NY Times Bestsellers list (currently holds #9 position in the Hardcover Advice & Misc. category). On May 3, 2011 Sixx: A.M. released the musical compliment to the memoir entitled, “This is Gonna Hurt” on Eleven Seven Music. Since the memoir’s release date, Nikki Sixx has been on a book and media tour and will now include the album. For the latest on tour dates near you go to nikkisixx.net, and watch for his upcoming appearance on HLN’s “The Joy Behar Show” on Tuesday, May 10, 2011.
Check out the lead single, “Lies of the Beautiful People” that’s already making noise on the rock charts.

Sixx: A.M. includes band members Nikki Sixx (bass), James Michael (vocals), and DJ Ashba (guitar). The band formed in 2007 and released a similar project to go with Sixx’s first book, “The Heroin Diaries.” The lead single from that album, “Life is Beautiful,” became the most played rock song of 2008.

Nikki Sixx shared the following in an interview with Vanity Fair:
Eric Spitznagel: This Is Gonna Hurt has its own soundtrack, which went on sale earlier this week. Is it just mood music, or do certain chapters line up with certain songs?
Nikki Sixx: The songs are really about the essence of the book, and they actually do belong together. The music was inspired by the words and by the photography, and that would inspire me to go out and write more words and create more photos. It became this back-and-forth thing between me and the other guys in [my band] Sixx: A.M. [Guitarist] D.J. Ashba would look at one of the photos I’d taken and that might inspire a guitar solo. It was an interesting cross-pollination of inspiration.

I am very sensitive inside. When I see other’s cry, or shout, or down, it affects me and i have to stop and try and help. It became harder to keep that sensitive emotion after losing everything i had 4 years ago. My whole life fell apart and i had a hard time trusting people. But i still always wanted to help people and not see them cry.
I often think there is nothing that can bring me down because I’ve been there, seen that, done that, felt that. For myself I would have to say inner strength. I have been a single parent for 13 years. Looking back it amazes me some of the mountains I have climbed, stumbled down the side of and eventually surmounted in order to get where I’m at. I worked full time, put myself through 6.5 years of night school and somehow found time to be a good mom and a good friend. It was hard to say the least, but worth it in the end. Inner strength for me, because sometimes a person doesn’t even know where it comes from…it just shows up when you need it most!
faithful-like Jimmie Carter -i lust in my heart!
To a fault, I care way to much sometimes. I always try to see the best in everyone.
It would have to be my honesty,people think I’m honest to a fault.My theory is this “If you want something sugar coated eat a donut!” I am very positive in my life and always honest and positive to my children and now I get the joy of doing the same to my grandchildren.I never judge people by looks because some of the best people in my life are not considered THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE by the main stream.Growing up my mother always told me to never judge a book by it’s cover because you never know what lies behind the cover until you look.My life has not been easy but that has only made me a stronger woman,mother and wife. That is the only way to look at life or the media will bombard you with what THEY think you should look like and act like NOT ME NO THANKS I HAVE A BRAIN AND A CHOICE!!!!!
I asked my husband what my most beautiful inner trait is. He said it was my warm heart. I open my heart to the world around me. I asked for an example, he said take today and those kittens. Yesterday, I was at a friends shop and he has a group of feral cats living out back. There were two new kittens that were hanging out yesterday. My husband said he looked at the kittens and thought it was a shame that someone abandoned them, but that was the end of the story. I looked at the kittens, took pictures of them, contacted a local shelter to make arrangements for them. Today I went back to catch them up, I was able to get one but the other is missing. I will be fostering them for a couple of days while the shelter arranges for a vet to take them in for a full medical check up.
I think he’s right; I do open my heart to the world around me.
I guess mine would be my inability to stop giving til I’m broke. I’ve always looked out for others around me first and I guess it’s finally catching up to me. Being an unsigned musician and self-employed contractor is tough enough but I just can’t seem to be able to say no when someone comes to me for help. Even if it means dealing with another bill collector for a week or two. I can’t be happy unless everyone else around me is having a good time. My newest venture is getting approved by The Navy SEAL Foundation for our next show here at the Norva in Norfolk, Va. Another great way to give and hopefully, this one won’t run me into the poor house. Thanks for all you have given us bro. I for one really appreciate it. You are why I do what I do.

My best trait is that I’ve learned to look past someone’s skin and appearance and really try to discover the person inside. I was judged and ridiculed for my appearance and health issues over the years, and I sure know how it feels, so I try not to do that to others. And the best part is, you meet some amazing people who truly enrich your life. People you would have never gotten to know if you just ignored them due to their looks. Peace!
